These are very good bands in my opinion... though many people say that Manowar are the true kings of epic metal, while others say that Virgin Steele are too underestimated... So im making a poll to see... Please, do not vote if you havent heard songs of the bands!

I have heard Virgin Steele and I don't like them. I vote for Manowar without any doubts. And I also say that they are very different in style, for example, Hammerfall is more similar to Manowar than Virgin Steele, but it's just my opinion

Manowar is better because they told me so.

(Full disclosure: I didn't actually vote because I haven't heard enough Virgin Steele to make an informed comparison.)

I voted Manowar. For me Virgin Steele is just anothor typically 80'ies heavy metal, in the same vein as W.A.S.P. , Quiet Riot, Dokken, Ratt and so on.. I love all those 80'ies band, but for me Manowar (and Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) is just another league above them.. I can't quite explain it.. but.. jep xD

Are you fucking shitting me?!?! Obviously you haven't heard too much of Virgin Steele's catalog if you think they are similar to those 80s hair bands.

Manowar are a bunch of poseurs who have managed to convince themselves that they are the true kings of metal. They are like that lame kid at school who makes up his own nick name and expects others to call him by that, but no one takes them seriously except themselves. It's about time they left the fucking hall...

And if I were Iron Maiden or Judas Priest I'd come and slap your ass for even putting my name in the same sentence as Manowar....

i have heard only 2-3 songs by Virgin Steele and so I won't vote on this poll, but to compare them with Quiet Riot, Dokken and Ratt is beyond ridiculous. They are as far from 80's glam as it is possible within the traditional heavy metal genre. Would Ratt ever write a double concept album titled "The House of Atreus" Act I and II?

also, WASP have released a concept album (The Crimson Idol) and a double concept album (The Neon God) with some symphonic epic melodies here and there, so they aren't even that different from VS in some ways.

Research before you post.

I like both bands. In my opinion Virgin Steele makes better albums. However, somehow Manowar has more popularity due to their charisma. It's one of those metal bands that everyone knows, even if you don't like.

Voted Virgin Steele.

Jack just trolled you all, haha

I'm a huge fan of Manowar, have most of their albums on my iPod, they may be corny but gotta love'em. Listening to Virgin Steele right now, the singer kinda reminds me of Kamelot with the calmed singing....they sound ok

I have only ever heard virgin steele's debut (rated lowest by far on MS) so I won't vote, but so far, I have found the musicianship awesome, but the vocals terrible.

Other bands play, Manowar kills, Virgin Steele crowns themselves as kings in the lyrics of Veni, Vidi, Vici. So, yes Virgin Steele wins, I think they were out-Manowaring or out manoeuvring Manowar on few of their records
