"Mother Russia" is one of the greatest metal songs ever. great riff, great breakdown, great solo, great vocals, GREAT EVERYTHING!!
If you REALLY think that Kiss is better than Iron Maiden, you're an idiot. I won't even get into how lame Rush is.
i personally don't think Kiss was all that great, but as to fan base & record sales. they BLOW Iron Maiden outta the water..
as to Rush, 2112 Overture , ByTor & the Snow Dog.. fucking killer ..
another band that BLOWS away IM is Scorpions .. if U don't think so, check out their older albums.. like : Lonesome Crow, Fly To The Rainbow, Virgin Killer or In Trance ..

Check out their latest studio album, "Unbreakable". It was a return to form...sounds like it could have been released somewhere between Blackout and Love at First Sting. I love it - its been on my heavy rotation list for over a year now.

born and raised on heavy metal, it flows through my veins, and Maiden was a HUGE part of my metal upbringing. When I was 3, Piece of Mind was the ONLY metal album I listened to religiously. Bruce has an AWESOME voice and only Rob Halford can overtop that.
Adrian and Dave's dueling guitars are what make Maiden MAIDEN! And the lyrics, made me become a history fan. Silly, but true. Powerslave, i really learned a lot from.
To me, they are the BEST metal band around, even BETTER than Metallica!! yea I said it!! But not better than Judas Priest though:)

man I hate seeing metal band lists where people just list bands that were popular in the 80's. I've seen enough lists wher rock fans put down slayer/sabbath/pantera/metallica/maiden/priest/kiss.motley crue to make me barf.
Isn't the 80's when metal was the biggest? There are more 80's metal bands that were good than other decades. Plus, it's the 80's metal sound that people think of when they hear the word metal.
For me:
1. Black Sabbath
2. Budgie
3. Pantera

80's were huge for metal in the sense that there was lots of really popular bands then. I personally, much prefer 90's era bands that are a lot less of the "80's metal sound" which is essentially a parody of itself nowadays. When metal splintered off in the 90's I think a lot of great bands came into their own, like Strapping Young Lad, Morbid Angel, later Death, Emperor, Immortal, etc. I mean metal was the biggeest in the mainstream in the 80's, but that doesn't mean it was the BEST metal. There were some landmark albums of course, there always are, but when I think metal I don't think that "havy metal sound" a billion people know about, I think about the death metal, the black metal bands and so on and so forth.
I know that didn't make much sense, but I'm kind of tired. In short: Metal was the biggest it was ever in the mainstream world in the 80's, but if you ask me, it was not the best, which was what I was lamenting earlier.
Never got into Maiden.. Not to say they suck or anything, just was never really interested. For my money, it's (old) Metallica, Priest, Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament... But Slayer ruled them all, and still does to this day... Just my opinion... \m/

They're an acquired taste I'd say. Bad ass musicians to say the least. Try Powerslave if you haven't. Amazing album, better than Number of the Beast if you ask me.

I love this thread...Rush is another one of my all-time favorites. The new DVD Replay X 3 is killer.
