I dig Metallica, but you can't compare them to Iron Maiden.
Metallica is faster and more aggressive, but Maiden is more heavy and melodic.
Iron Maiden.

Maiden by a mile.
For me, Metallica are way over-hyped. They did some good stuff, but when you compare their sound to Iron Maiden, or Judas Priest, they don't have the diversity of sounds. It tends towards the monotone side of things for me. Iron Maiden, at their best, rivalled Priest in several ways, especially thematic and lyrical content. I much prefer songs about flying WWII fighter planes than telling people that I am private property.
Still prefer the Priest, but Iron Maiden are superior to Metallica, for sure. |

| i agree, Priest is still fucking awesome, Iron Maiden had their golden years but now they aren't as great as they used to be, Metallica as well, had their golden years, both are still good, but not the same as they used to be. But i guess i will have to say i would chose metallica over Iron Maiden |

Yup, neither are as good as they used to be. Maiden never sold out though, Metallica did big time.

That's false. Were Maiden never to exist I guarantee Metallica still would. I'm just curious,
do you have any quotes that you can post from Metallica saying they were influenced by
Iron Maiden?

I don't think they are making fun of Maiden, I think they were just messing about as you do when your jamming. If anything it shows that they learned to play a maiden song.

Lars and James were massive fans of the NWOBHM and Maiden were one of the bands that spearheaded the movement.

| Metallica were absolutely influenced by Maiden and many of the other British metal bands of the late 70s and early 80s. They've said so themselves many times. |

I wouldn't say Metallica wouldn't exist without Maiden. Metallica is an American metal band, or at least
used to be. I don't think they were influenced by Maiden at all. Maiden was only out a few years when Metallica
started. |

I like Metallica more. However to give credit where credit is due, Iron Maiden is great. There would be no Metallica without them. I get it. I am just much more of a Metallica fan. |

Whoooo I am shakin' in my boots Brian(LMMFAO!! ) Dude,you are a "fucking joke" gone bad guy! Who gives a flyin fuck if Bruce "IS" the best vocalist(wich he is obviously not)and who cares if Steve Harris is the best bass player wich he may be,who cares if Nico is the best drummer....its thier stupid fucking "songs" that "SUCK" shit. Just like Budred below said,they suck!! And 90% of "metal fans" that your talking about don't even know Saxon has material past the 1980's.The fans that I have studied and talked with take this era of Saxon of Iron Maiden "any day".
You have NO opinion about Iron Maiden exept that you like anything they put out.I was and am an old Maiden fan since 1982 probly before you were even fucking born little boy blue,so get the fuck off your fan-boy wagon and pull your lame unworthy uneducated head out of your ass. At least I have an opinion of Maiden and other bands for that matter. If they put out "Load" or "Re-Load" albums you would be ranting how they are equal to anything they have ever done ect... thats why you have no say about opinions,you just have one opinion and its 100% Iron Maiden does no wrong,its a joke and I'm calling you out on it,everybody here sees that you are nothing but a fuckin fan-boy so pack up your bags and go to your lame fan-boy Maiden forum,your not welcome here dumbshit.Now,what else must I say to (lol!) "fire you up" shit for brains??? Let me know,cause I'll push you as far as you can go dork metal-wannabe.

| Iron Maiden has one of the best metal vocalist of all time, Bruce. Maybe the best metal bass player of all time, steve Harris. The three headed monster in guitarist - Dave Murray, Janick Gers, Adrian Smith and one of the best drummers in metal, Nicko. You can't say that about many metal bands. I bet 90% of metal fans would take Iron Maiden over Saxon. No brainer! This is not being a fan-boy just the facts. And I tell you one thing, a certian joker on here is about to get me fired up and thats one thing you don't want to do. Now I'm going to go post something in my Southen Rock thread.
