It‘s a personal opinion people so no one go off on a rant pleas!! I personally like Iron Maiden more. But I will admit Idk if I‘d think that w/o Bruce Dickinson. Iron Maiden is still great no matter who‘s singing but I don‘t really think the other singer‘s voice flowed as well. which band do you think has a better guitarist?
Iron Maiden! Metallica is all thrash, no melody. And Steve Harris OWNS Cliff Burton on bass (that'll probably get me a few thumbs-downs)
Iron Maiden. Bruce has a great range. Blaze isn't that great, and Paul's vocals suited punk more imo. Iron Maiden has the better guitarists, but that doesn't mean Kirk and James are bad by any means.
Iron Maiden! m/ Not that Metallica is a slouch, by any means, but Iron Maiden is much more consistent, and are actually still good today!
