Iron Maiden vs Metallica

These are both amazing metal bands and i love both of them and most metal fans love both of them as well. But which one do you like more? Iron Maiden or Metallica? For me i would say Metallica cause I've known them longer than i have know Iron Maiden and i find more songs of metallica catchy. So choose which band you like better in the poll.

Iron Maiden because they were the first metal band i ever listened to, although now i like heavier stuff so Metallica seems more appealing.

Both are very commercial.

iron maiden 8) up the irons

Saw Iron Maiden a few days ago... I like both bands but Pre-1995 Metallica... But Iron Maiden has kept there feeling for their music for a while now... That is why they rock! Haven't seen Metallica live but I personally don't like how they sound from what I seen... I am sure it's still an exhilarating show non the least.

What? Iron Maiden. No contest. Maiden has 12 good albums, and Metallica has 4.

Metallica, although they have had some average albums

Metallica's first four albums are good stuff, especially And Justice For All, and their self-titled fifth album isn't bad, but after that they get pretty bad. St. Anger is one of the worst CDs I've ever had the pleasure of owning. While Iron Maiden of course has some bad albums, they have way more stuff that I like.

I went to see them and Dream Theater in Auburn, WA and while the setlist consisted of maybe half old stuff and half newer stuff (and no Run to the Hills, WTF), I enjoyed most of it. If I went to a Metallica concert and they played half old stuff and half new stuff, I'd be groaning my way through half of the setlist except maybe All Nightmare Long.

They also don't have anything as fun to sing along live to as Iron Maiden, Running Free, The Number of the Beast, or Fear of the Dark.

All of this is just my opinion of course, but there you go.

You could argue the same for Maiden, in my opinion the only good album they've made since Seventh Son was Brave New World.

I know what you meen... When I saw them on Sunday they didn't play Run to the Hills either. Also Dream Theater rocked as well. I made sure I came earlier just to see them open! =D

Well i wasn't too keen on Dance Of Death and Matter Of Life And Death was just never ending although it did have a few good songs.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't like that album at all if These Colors Don't Run didn't have such a fun chorus to sing along to :P

Metallica for me. They're the band that got me into Metal. I also like the fact that they have the ability to move between Thrash, to Heavy Metal, to Rock and soft Ballads.They seem to be a band that isn't afraid to try something new, rather than pump out the same stuff every year.

Full respect to the Irons though, just not my thing.

Metallica!!!!!!!

Final Frontier is suppose to be even longer, and after hearing El Dorado i was rather disappointed. You heard it yet?

Absolutely Metallica. No comparison for me personally, I'm not really an Iron Maiden fan.

Metallica by far. I do enjoy listening to Maiden too, however. I'm seeing them live in august :)

I liked that song. Oh and Iron Maiden gets my vote!

I like Metallica better, but I don't really listen to them, I'm more into to music with breakdowns.

Metallica, I am more of a thrash fan although I love Maiden as well. I think ...And Justice For All may be my favorite album ever though. However I'll admit that they've made some utter garbage. I can fall asleep listening to Load and Reload.

Up the irons!

i like iron maiden better....mostly cause fewer people try to copy them.....that and i dont hear them on the radio every day.....uggg.....i love metallica but it gets old....

Metallica hands down. Iron Maiden has always seem slightly overrated to me, and I only like a handful of their songs. With Metallica I love every song on every album up through Black Album.

These are both amazing metal bands and i love both of them and most metal fans love both of them as well. But which one do you like more? Iron Maiden or Metallica? For me i would say Metallica cause I've known them longer than i have know Iron Maiden and i find more songs of metallica catchy. So choose which band you like better in the poll.

I've heard it.

It's not my favorite song of theirs, but there's a thing I like about it. One of my big problems with A Matter of Life and Death and Dance of Death is that the songs all basically follow the same format, soft intros that get much heavier before the chorus leading into false climaxes, so I was kind of worried that The Final Frontier would be nothing but soft intros fading into other soft intros, so it was nice to hear El Dorado kind of start out loud and fast. Not their best song by far, but not bad.

I may have to say Iron Maiden for this one. My first Maiden album was Piece of Mind, and I remember replaying Sun & Steel over and over again. Still my favorite album of theirs, but still went ahead and picked up Powerslave, another great album.

Maiden all the way!
