Iron Maiden. Galloping bass lines, twin lead guitar, haunting lead vocals by Bruce (original singer sounded more punk)----they intimidated more than Metallica ever did w/ their stage show, album covers and song topics.
hmm i've never listened to iron maiden * i know i know * but i'm really sick of hearing metallica everytime i turn on the friggen radio so i choose iron maiden. lol
I vote For maiden on this one....Metallica let me down along time ago with the Black Album.
I still remain a hard core maiden Fan to this day...With the exception of the Blaze era that is.
I would give the push towards Metallica, simply for the strength of their first three albums. I haven't much love for them since the Black Album though...and they really aren't relevant as long as Hetfield feels compelled to 'sing'
Powerslave IS one of the most complete metal albums of all time. Not one wrong note on that entire collection.
doctor wurm i agree powerslave is the best iron maiden album i have to say also it is so kick ass i love aces high and flash of the blade metallica is also good but i lost my love for them when they made the black album i love ride the lightning album it rules
i think both of them are kinda crap. i have a maiden LP, and it is pretty bad. my friend gave it to me for free, because he hated it too. i dont think i need to say anything about metallica though.
