Iron Maiden "used" to be heavier than Motorhead up till Powerslave....and then they got so progressive that nowadays...Motorhead is light years heavier than maiden.

And as I said before...Motorhead is LIGHT YEARS more "consistant with releasing quality albums....Maiden is nowhere close to that at all.

Iron Maiden The Trooper the way it was meant to be played.......

LOL! HAHAHA that Motorhead is funny dude!!! Goes along with the Iron Monkees!!! lol!

Hey british steel.....yeah..thats all I was saying is that Motorhead is more consistant than Maiden. But don't get me wrong......I am a heavy metal fan more than a hard rock fan and even though I love Motorhead...

I prefer Iron Maiden because I love  (1980)Iron Maiden.......(1981)Killers........(1982)The Number Of The Beast.....(1983)Piece Of Mind........(1984)Powerslave....
Those albums are special to me and not that Motorhead doesn't have special albums...its just that I'm an epic heavy metal fan as well............

Songs like Phantom Of The Opera.....Prodigal Son..........Hallowed Be Thy Name......To Tame A Land.....Rime Of The Ancient Mariner..........

I don't think any Iron maiden albums are as good as thier first 5 records.  But A Matter Of Life And Death is for me...the next best record that 

comes after Powerslave.      I wonder what the next Maiden album will sound like?

		Hey J.D, sinner. i wouldve came on to argue yesterday but internet was down and i went to the Priest concert in cleveland! it was amazing (excuse my spelling im still a little excited) now on topic, i dont think all the 90s albums were as good as the earlier stuff. But most people just dislike the blaze years because its not dickinson, they had some good songs but overall sucked. No prayer, was obviously not as good as seventh son or any other previous maiden record. and Fear of the dark i can only say i like 2 songs from it so far (judas my guide and Fear of the dark) those are great songs. and i liked Bruce's solo career in the 90's. lol but okay okay...i understand more now, and i can admit that motorhead is more consistent. (that was hard to admit) but i still love Iron Maiden till the day i die, motorhead is good. but i think maiden wins because the good record they put out were top notch, and better than many motorhead albums IMO.

Thanks J.D.,

I'm  not qualified to talk about Motorhead, because I haven't heard enough from them. Let me buy some Motorhead albums, by the way, please let me know which ones are OK to start with.

Here is me playing at an Iron Maiden tribute, a year ago, and ready for this year. 

Hey Al-fons Blazing!!  Haven't seen ya in a while!       Hey....I also think that Brave New World was half good...they have 5 tracks that are great quality Iron Maiden but the other 5 tracks...are not as strong....

Dance Of Death I didn't like at all....but I know there must be fans who either love the album or like a few tunes on it and lable it "ok album"......

A Matter Of Life And Death I also thought was Maiden's best album since 1984 "Powerslave".....except I didn't like the opener "Different World" either......or "Benjamin Bragg".....

....but I really think the other 8 songs are quality Iron Maiden and the best since Powerslave.  

These Colours Don't Run
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
The Pilgrim
The Longest Day
Out Of The Shadows
For The Greater Good Of God
Lord Of Light
The Legacy  
  Just those 8 songs make up an albums worth of good Iron Maiden material in my opinion..........

Dance Of Death and Brave New World don't come close to this album at all in my opinion.

Motorhead has been extremly consistant compared to Iron Maiden

Well....again,we will have to "agree" to "disagree".   But I am curious though......I want to know what your opinion of the entire 1990's Iron Maiden albums.....4 albums in a row

Starting with 1990 "No Prayer For The Dying"............1992"Fear Of The Dark"...........1995"The X Factor"............1998"Virtual Eleven".......?

Yeah but you said Brave New World you only liked 5 songs on...and that album is part of thier last 3 albums.....so now you are saying that you like the album from start to finish? LOL

LOL! Whatever british steel.....lol!      This thread should of been titled " Who has been more consistant in writting consistant quality albums"?  Maiden or Motorhead?

And I'd lay money that 85 % of people would vote for Motorhead.

Lemmy did better writing for Ozzy. Motorhead just doesnt cut it like maiden does

No......I can't answer who is "better".....but being a fan of both for this many years....(27 years for both bands)...I KNOW who is more "consistant in writting quality material"....and that trophy

has to go to Motorhead in my opinion.....and only judging on what Iron Maiden and Motorhead fans have told me about each band's albums throughout both the band's careers.

I've heard constant bickering about Iron Maiden's direction and styles of song writting....and how they are nowhere near as good as they once were from fans throught the years

but I never hear that from Motorhead fans all these years? Why is this? Because Motorhead stays true to thier fans and has written more quality albums for Motorhead fans

than Maiden has written for thier fans throught the years. Thats all I am saying....I'm not saying that Motorheads albums are better than the first 5 albums of Iron Maiden....

I'm just saying that to Motorhead fans...they get more albums consistantly from Motorhead than the Iron Maiden fan.

there are actually plenty of bands heavier than motorhead

I find this one to be hilarious, clealy Eddie at his finest!
I agree with Eddie's ass, UP THE IRONS!

I agree seventh son is way better, and why the evil that men do bothers you i dont know. lol but can i play with madness was very poppy and commercial sounding for maiden. the only thing good that came out of that song was a picture i saw in the cd was Bruce and Nicko standing by a bunch of semi naked women all with a letter on their boobs spelling out "MADNESS" i had a good laugh at that because they want to play with madness

But somewhere back in time is a great album for me, Caught somewhere in time, Wasted Years, lonileness of the long distance runner, sea of madness and deja vu are my favs, and i think it has one of the coolest album covers ever, because many things in the album art trace back to other albums and concerts they have done. we can agree that maiden had better album covers right? lol

Seventh Son album is FAR better than Somewhere In time.....Not an album I would say as Maiden's best but it does have some good tracks on it like "Moonchild"......"Infinate Dreams"......"Seventh Son"....The Prophecy ...Only The Good Die Young............The Clair Voyant.... I never liked "The Evil That Men Do"...it drives me nuts and bugs me....Can I Play With Madness I never really cared for but it doesn't bug me like The Evil That Men Do bugs me.  And yeah...I've read on this website a while ago now,there was a member   who was being serious and said "Turbo" was Priest's best album! LOL! But hey...to each his own I guess.      british.steel wrote: Turbo was theri best?

Motorhead is an amazing band dont get me wrong, but Maiden has a special place in my heart! lol

lol! Yeah I know...I was just having fun with you...but yes...Maiden does have some great songs and some great albums.

Well.....A Matter Of Life And Death to me is "ok" but I hate that opening track"Different World"...and the Benjamin Bragg song sucks the big one.
I think the other songs are ok for what Maiden has done but I just for the LIFE OF ME figure out what fans see in the "Dance Of Death" album!
I can't get into any track on that album and I've heard it a dozen times .......to me its Bruce's worst Iron Maiden album........
I still think half of Iron miden's discography sucks! LOL!

As for Motorhead...I have 17 studio albums by Motorhead...the 2 that I don't have are  March Or Die Motorhead's worst album...and the other one was Another Perfect Day
however I did have Another Perfect day but I traded it...I did burn the songs "Back At The Funny Farm the opener and Shine....but I never got into any other songs.

I never had March Or Die but I've heard it a few times....it sucks....there are like 12 songs on it and I only could stand about 3 of them and those 3 were not anything
to write home about.  

The Sacrifice album has some cool songs on it and I'm not saying it is a bad album,but to me its not as good as thier other 16 albums.

I think "Inferno" 2004 belongs somewhere in the top 5 best Motorhead albums of all time.

		Have to disagree with you about Another Perfect Day, personally I think it's one of Motorheads better and more consistant albums. Loads of great songs on it, Back At The Funny Farm, Shine, One Track Mind, I Got Mine, Dancing On your Grave, Another Perfect Day, Rock It.... all awesome songs, it's fuckin ace. Your right about March Or Die though, it's not that good, but song March Or Die itself is cool. I reckon Somewhere In Time is a wicked album and so is Seventh Son, but yeah, No Prayer and Fear Of The Dark are a bit lamo. Won't even mention the Blaze Bayley albums but I thought Dance Of Death and Brave New World were solid. I think A Matter Of Life And Death is a long boring album, don't rate that one at all, for me it's their worst.      J.D.

I like the first 5 Iron Maiden albums up to Powerslave and then the next album that is worthy enough is the last album 2006 "A Matter Of Life And Death" wich  was nowhere near as good as Powerslave or anything before Powerslave,but it is the next Maiden album after Powerslave that is a decent album................ Iron Maiden has 14 studio albums and they only have 5 albums that are classic masterpeices...only "5"...and thats thier first 5 albums.................................... They have 2 other  albums that are "ok" but not great and those are ......"Brave New World".....and "A Matter Of Life And Death"...................................................... And 7 albums that are terrible......Somewhere In Time,Seventh Son,No Prayer For The Dying,Fear Of The Dark,The X Factor,Virtual Eleven,and Dance Of Death. Thats 7 albums out of 14...half of Iron Maiden's discography "sucks". Motorhead has 19 studio albums and they only have "2" albums that suck.....1983"Another Perfect Day" ..... 1992"March Or Die".. Then they have one album that is "ok" but nothing great and that is 1995 "Sacrifice"...... But the other 16 albums by Motorhead are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     Motorhead is WAY BETTER than Iron Maiden in my opinion...

Maiden!!!

Maiden!!!
