Question:
Which of the legendary metal bands is better?
Option 1: Iron Maiden
votes: 12
Option 2: Judas Priest
votes: 8
One of the oldest debates in the history of rock. Which of these legends are better? I'm voting for Priest. They had alot of fun songs, and Rob Halford is the fucking METAL GOD!
I'll gladly listen to either of 'em, without any real preference between the two; they're both a bunch a limey bastards, so it's pretty hard for me to pick a favorite*. :D
* - Megadeth is better than both of 'em put together! : )
I remember that when I was a kid, I watched a music video on TV of Judas Priest and I think someone's head exploded in the video. Well, bye for now!
I am a bigger fan of maiden because the guitar solos are alot more epic.
Being a guitar player, this is pretty important.
But, in any event
Saver Tiger is better than both!

Now would be a prime time for a headbanger emoticon
Ok i went with Priest on this one but i enjoy Maiden too so it was a hard call for me Judas edge out Iron at the end.
Judas Priest=Rockin' + Iron Maiden=Epic=Rockin' Epic Win! lol.
Judas Priest. Although, I do like Iron Maiden.
That indeed is a tough question. Both are pretty fuckin awesome.
If I had to choose, Maiden would be it.
I'm going to go with Maiden. I still have a bunch of their records, heh.
fuck, i love priest!!! the best song for me is pain killer makes me crazy!!!
<<fist pump>>

Painkiller makes Judas Priest automatic win for me
Hard to call this one. Both have great songs and suck songs. Guess it would come down to a matter of counting the greats and the sucks and then doing some maths to figure out who is better.
EDIT: Yo TmEE, I didn't know you were on this forum!
Man that is indeed a tough one. I like Maiden more for the songwriting. For the heavy I will have to go for Priest. Man I saw Priest on their Painkiller tour. They were touring with Megadeth and Testament. I was actually there to see Testament and Megadeth a bit more. I was more of a Thrash head. Priest was amazing though. Rob Halford came out on this chopper and the fucking chopper was miced. It was so damn loud it was great! Priest put on a killer show. I still would have to go with Maiden as more of a favorite for listening to.
Maiden.

Did they run off the bike and attack the crowd!?
Should I be ashamed that I only recognize the names, but can't put the music to these bands? I assume it's some kind of heavy/death metal stuff? :-k

Nope, they're neo-alternative folk ska bands utilizing heavy uilleann pipe work. Duh.

not knowing their tunes is unacceptable.
Why can't I vote Manowar?
I voted Maiden, although I loved Demolition and Juggulator by Judas.
And yes I know the "bestest" Priest is the Halford years, but well fuck- I still liked the new stuff more!!
