Personally I prefer Iron Maiden because they were the ones that started the whole movement, though Metallica gave it the strenght to amaze the whole world, but you know Maiden is Maiden and they have really become legends.

Iron Maiden invent Metal (with Judas Priest and Black Sabbath) and Metallica re-invent Metal (with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax)... I didn't vote because I can't compare them (as I said in my precedent message). I just want to explain myself!!

I'm a fan Of Iron Maiden but I've been a Metallica fan for a long time before i even knew who Iron Maiden was... so I'm going to go with Metallica on this one...

Written by BuzzPhil on 20.05.2009 at 00:50 Agree here  But in my personal opinion Metallica is better. I'm not talking about careers or influence, simply my music taste. Also really enjoy Maiden, and their concert last year here in Lisbon was awesome!

Written by BuzzPhil on 20.05.2009 at 00:50 You mean rising of Thrash Metal was re-invention of Metal? I didn't know that Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax have re-invented Metal..

Written by Hamird on 30.06.2009 at 00:03 I guess when he said "re-invent" he meant that they took metal to another level, due to their popularity with legions of fans supporting them, and spreading their music all over the world. And, imo, he also tried to separate the appearance of the two bands. They are from different eras, therefore cannot be compared. At least this was what I interpreted

As one of my friends said once to me "Iron Maiden, the father, Metallica, the son", that's all for me.

Written by symbolic727 on 26.04.2009 at 18:41 They were just another band of the NWOBHM  ???? WTF are you talking about bud, do you know any other Metal band that made 7 classics Albums in a fucking row ? I don't think so.. I mean from scratch to Seventh... they did something amazing.. and yeah Im not saying the other albums sucked far from it...  Lets just say that to me FOTD is a classic like the others they're not just another band... they are legendary musicians

I particularly agree here - without Iron Maiden, whole "NWOBHM" thing would die imo... after this year's Wacken, many people are praising Saxon...but why Iron Maiden are that much popular and Saxon are not? there's gotta be something making Maiden NOT being "just another band in NWOBHM"

Written by Ellrohir on 18.09.2009 at 16:55 Cause Iron Maiden are way more innovative and Saxon released a LOT of garbage after Power & The Glory.

Written by Guib on 18.09.2009 at 17:12 That is ture, but the same applies to Iron Maiden imo. Although they didn't sink as deep as Metallica

As you said iron maiden invent metal, metallica can never invent somthing like "nomad", "no more Lies" or "the Number of the Beast", i have no other idea about metallica, but IRON MAIDEN, they are my GODS

Written by Heru Goroth on 27.09.2009 at 13:17 since when did they invent metal, ffs Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest all played metal BEFORE Iron Maiden even existed.

I would say they "resurrected metal" in the times when critics wrote it is dead already...btw they are writing it for 30 years already and still nothing
