That's tough one. No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith was the first Metal vinyl album I ever bought when it first came out and that was before I bought any of Maiden's stuff. But I just seemed to get into Maiden in a much bigger way especially from Beast through to Seventh Son. HUGE Maiden follower back then. Then I lost interest until Dickinson and Smith returned. I'm only now getting back into Motorhead and rediscovering the back catalogue and the most recent run of albums are awesome. I'd have to pick Maiden over Motorhead but I love 'em both:).

I am a greater fan of Maiden than Motorhead because of the same reason of listening to them longer time than to Motorhead.
They have released great albums time after time. Musically, always awesome. Good lyrics, awesome music.
[daseeker] Tuesday, October 04, 2011 11:28:49 AM
Wow what a topic? If there wasnt a Motorhead would there be a Maiden? But if it were not for Maiden would Metal have been as big? Damn I have to have BOTH!

Got tickets to see Maiden this weekend. Saw them a couple of years ago when they played the whole of "matter of life and death" which was too much for me as it turned out. Looks like the set list for this year, if what I've read is accurate, is going to feature songs mainly from their last few albums including Final frontier which I lost interest in after one listen. Looks like it's going to be a lonnnnng night again!
At least if Motorhead play a couple of tracks you don't like they don't take up half the show time.
I absolutely disagree. Maiden does not "rock hard" with studio albums these days.The last "rocking hard" album Iron Maiden has done was 1984's Powerslave. And thats the problem...they are too intelligent and it shows by the ridiculous progression every lame studio album has these last 26 years.

I prefer Motörhead, and Iron Maiden tend to get a little too repetitive for my taste.

Mötorhead by far, raw and uncomplicated, just like metal is supposed to be.... you know Maiden kinda lacks of power, rawness, heavyness, they are by far more commercial, mainstream, and their drums are kinda softie...
[soccer star] Tuesday, March 08, 2011 2:13:31 PM
I like both bands and i have seen both live but when it comes down to it Maiden are the better band...No contest.
Maiden are more consistent and have sold many more albums.
Maiden could headline any major fest in the world..Motorhead could not but i still like em.
[metallo] Tuesday, March 08, 2011 11:04:07 AM
Again ??
is more than a month I'm not writing and still to decide if Motorhead or Maiden ?
Motorhead
[Gobberz] Tuesday, March 08, 2011 5:21:25 AM
Without a shadow of a doubt Motorhead. They technically (sound) might not be as diverse as Maiden, but Motorhead just have better music. But, Im not saying Iron Maiden are bad though.
[Juda Sve�enik] Monday, March 07, 2011 4:36:24 PM
Motorhead, no doubt... and very underrated :/
[Vaillant 3.0] Tuesday, March 01, 2011 1:04:36 AM
That and they each have a mascot. Iron Maiden has Eddie...and Motörhead has the ever adorable Snaggletooth. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Monday, February 28, 2011 9:55:09 PM)

Motorhead absolutely destroys Iron Maiden from 1986 to 2010 by "FAR". Now if you want to talk about back in the day(the early1980's) then I would have to go with Maiden's first 5 studio albums.
But we aren't talking about that,so its fuckin' Motorhead!!!!!!!!!

[Jimi6] Wednesday, February 16, 2011 11:19:52 AM
My opinion is that Motorhead are harder...because of the singing style and the Force..xaxa...But I think Maiden are way more better...
[JeffofDoom] Wednesday, February 16, 2011 11:14:05 AM
Maiden. I first heard Motorhead a fair bit earlier than Maiden, but I tend to like bands more for the guitar than the singing and although Killed by Death and Rock'n'Roll have good solos, most Motorhead songs are just Lemmy and a not-too-great riff. Iron Maiden has a great singer in Bruce Dickinson, so even if they didn't make a point of having a great guitar solo in nearly every song, I'd still go for them, but they do, so they win by quite a lot more.
[heykyleinsf] Wednesday, February 16, 2011 2:04:36 AM

[sadwings76] Tuesday, February 15, 2011 11:35:57 PM
Earlier Maiden...maybe.....actually no. Honestly I can't bang my head to Maiden, they're like the Backstreet boys of metal..... maiden is cool and all but Motorhead just has that extra kick I need so Motorhead all the way. . . <- just because that's cool
[YngwiePriestRule!!] Monday, January 24, 2011 11:17:11 PM
Maiden all the way!!! Motorhead sucks. Lemmy has a horrible voice, and they only play a couple of chords. Motorhead is basically a punk band that tries to be a metal band. Maiden is a progressive metal band that plays with immense power, but also beauty and musicianship. Maiden rules!!!!! How can we even compare the glorious Maiden to the likes of noisy, rough, homely Motorhead??
[sentinel84] Sunday, January 16, 2011 11:54:07 AM
killers is one of the greatest metal records ever and so is their debut but other than that and a few of the Bruce Dickinson albums they really didn't do anything too special. But mot�rhead has been great since day 1. Nothing but good stuff. So I'd say mot�rhead
[Line1974] Sunday, January 16, 2011 8:46:04 AM

(And neither does Priest )
[Texas_Tyrant] Thursday, December 09, 2010 12:31:34 PM

Brand new Motorhead first song on the LP : "Born To Lose"....album "The World Is Yours" due out Jan.2011 This shit is kick ass and sounds like early 80's Motorhead,the whole album rocks and is better than 2008's Motorizer which was one great album. Motorhead is far above Iron Maiden with consistancy. Edited at: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 3:56:56 PM
