My vote, UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!

MAIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maiden, definitely.

I thought this was going to be more modern like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIpEoVsxN5w

Most certainly Iron Maiden. I was thinking like xantoftheskyx though. I was getting ready to give props to Senses Fail and A Day to Remember.

"You can say what you want about Maiden, but when it comes to making videos, they don't screw around."
"Yeah, even if Maiden did unplug, they'd say 'Don't turn off the explosion machine, dudes. That's how we got here.'"

Maiden wins.

I totally give props to Krysta of iwrestledabearonce and Angela of Arch Enemy. Two fierce women that can contend with any of their male counterparts.

My vote is for Iron Maiden. Singing in three part harmony, using augmented chord structures on "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner", Eddie the mascot and an awesome lighting show give these pioneers of New Wave British Heavy Metal my thumbs up.

Wasn't ever 100% this counted as metal. I guess it does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_B8ITIhiBk

but this sure did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJPzFwLkqmw



but yeah, I would agree Iron Maiden was better than Judas Priest.

^ Yeah, as a mix of doom metal, ambient and post-metal.

The metal community is larger than you think.

My current fav: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2EbqLtaB6Q

^brutal.

Love me some Angela. I'm a huge Arch Enemy fan. :cool:

Halford is the best. The Preist wins.

Iron Maiden. I grew up listening to both but Iron Maiden, IMO, is the best of the 2.
