Metallica were the first band I really got into as a young preteen lad, while I didn't hit up Maiden worship until I was about 17, but Iron Maiden are definitely tops for me over time. I still love Metallica up to AJFA but they've made so many awful records, said so many stupid things, acted like such douchebags it's hard to have the same appreciation I once did for them...... while Iron Maiden, minus the Blaze years have consistently ruled, reinevented themselves into something AMAZING post 2000 and seem like genuinely nice people all around. If I had to pick one, no contest it'd be Maiden.......

Iron Maiden! I like only one Metallica album (Justice for all), but Maiden has a whole stack of albums I love.

In some cases, the master is never surpassed by the pupils, but some of them get very very close or even match them; in some other cases, the master is surpassed (without getting ridiculed at all). IMHO, this is a case of the former. UP THE IRONS!!

Easily Maiden. I like Metallica too, but Dickinson is a muuuuuuch better singer than Hetfield, and I think that Harris is a better songwriter than any Metallica member too (Ancient Mariner, Dream Of Mirrors, Alexander, etc...)
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Jethro Tull!
 
I still crack up thinking back to when Tull stole the Grammy from Metallica. The look of shock on their faces was precious!

Maiden is more fun, as Zargus wrote, but when you really need some metal in your life, it is Metallica.

Maiden,Maiden,Maiden.The majority of Maiden's discography is absolutely classic,and they have withstood the test of time.Metallica did four good albums and haven't done anything worth a sh*t in decades.Plus Metallica claimed NWOBHM as a major influence,so why wouldn't I pick one of the leading bands in that movement?

People from DK tend to idolize the ones who make it big regardless of talent. I have been a Metallica fan ever since I had the upper body strength to headbang. Metallica was and still is the largest teenage boys gathering in my country and I suspect they will continue to be so in the future.
Maiden on the other hand is now gaining some of its prior glory in the youth department - and that is a welcome change to be frank.
Gonna go with Maiden for sheer consistency.

MAIDEN. I can't get into Metallica no matter how hard I try.
By the way, both bands have covered BUDGIE songs (not that i'm biased of course)! Wink Smile

After about a year of listening to Iron Maiden, I got to see them live for the first time in summer of 1982. They have been one of my all time favorite metal bands since, I have had no reason to stray to the likes of Metallica or similar.....I never got into Metallica back in the day, I always saw J Hetfield as some kind of primadonna attitude.
 
Anyhow, to me 50% of Iron Maiden's recordings totally destroy anything Metallica has ever done.....so 100% would be down right bloody and dismembering.
 
Iron Maiden keeps getting better, and their live shows are some of the best concerts today.

Iron Maiden < Any 80s band.
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
