Metallica vs Iron Maiden

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, you are entitled to your opinion.
To me it is all very male, intimidatory and shouty.
No melody, just bang bang noise.

[Margaret Pilkington]

If you listen carefully to the artists I have mentioned you will see(or hear perhaps is a better word) where your fave band got some of their musical background from.
Musicians are influenced by the music they have listened to in the past......and all music evolves.
When I was young(which is a long time ago) I listened to Jimmi Hendrix....and Kiss...not so much Led Zeppelin......but I can't say I really ever liked it that much. I listened to it because it was around. I still listen to all kinds of music...but I have to agree with one thing you said...much of the modern stuff is rubbish.

Wait for it.......






.....UGH. and a great big collective one at that.



Maiden- They haven't put out a decent album since 1992 which is one year more than Metallica who's "best"(but not best) release was in 1991 and the previous to that 'and justice for all' was a crapfest with a couple of good songs, at that point they had not fully recovered from the tragic loss of Cliff Burton and well, never did.

Not really a valid battle if you can actually hear the melodies of the male, noisy, intimidatory and shouty fellas. I used to like them both, until the introduction to Nirvana that took over my teenage years... 20 years later. I no longer listen to either. But I still like to listen to Nirvana and sometimes Megadeth too. Megadeth was ALWAYS the better band over Metallica.


Personally I never liked them(RHCP) Actually- I think they are overrated. Also, when I was 15/16 Nirvana played pier 48 for the "MTV live and loud" series... In-between each couple of songs the adverts came on and these two (fake bearded) bearded idiots were chatting rubbish on a boat in the middle of a river and I found them to be quite irritating. VERY IRRITATING. I vowed to actively hate them forever. Oh to look back and sift through the wreckage of youth....

Those two guys turned out to be the singer and the bass player of RHCP. So my opinion of them being crap, is it biased? bleh, they do have a great bass player..... I have a bootleg of nirvana somewhere, where he plays a trumpet solo on smells like teen spirit.....

Please. Please. PLEASE. Before you decided to post a thread entitled "Who is better- Kirk Hammett or Marty Friedman" Don't! or I might start to actively hate you :P (as we all know Dave Mustaine is better than them both)

To be honest Nirvana are slightly overrated, how long did the Grunge movement last 2 years. If Kurt did not die they still gonna split.

[accytom101]

RHCP are not overrated by any means they hung out and toured with Nirvana and Pearl Jam as I like to call them the big three. Chili Peppers love their fans and the fans love them. Every album is different than the other, they are also starting preparation on their new album excited....you bet.

They aren't overrated they are just crap.

[accytom101]

So your basically saying that Miley Cyrus, One Direction are better than RHCP. Yeah a great statement sayin Chili's are crap.....maybe you should have thought about you just said.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Where was it that Rob mentioned Miley Cyrus or One Direction?
I must have missed that somewhere along the way.
Those two acts are the kind of thing that 12 year old girls follow...not people of Robs reputation and standing.

We all know what we like, and it changes over the years.
I have listened to some of the music that you favour and it does nothing at all for me....so you can have my share of it.

I did think about it and the following result from yourself was as expected....
