Answer:

Iron maiden is, and always truly will be, the best band in existence. the Irons even influenced Metallica. Iron maiden songs combine history and literature with face-melting riffs, and have the best instrumentals I've ever heard. There really is no question here; Metallica is only more popular because they appear in the media. I dunno why some dumb kids vote metallica over iron maiden when they've not heard of the Irons and barely even gotten into metallica, but chavs like that exist, I suppose.

If you still think Metallica is better than Maiden, listen to about any song from the Powerslave album, preferably the title track, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, or two minutes to midnight. If you still aren't impressed, look at Hallowed be thy Name, Transylvania, even Run to the Hills, or Loneliness of the long distance runner.

Iron Maiden, even before Metallica has sold out, wins.

Metallica is a great band before the Black Album, they have great riffs, which, the best are, made by DAVE MUSTAINE.

Iron Maiden, first of all, has one of the greatest vocalists in history. Bruce Dickinson has a great voice, etc, that makes him one of the greatest metal vocalist in history.

Iron Maiden has a complex and great guitar layering made by the 3 guitarists, who are all highly skilled, and the drummer is also highly skilled. Steve Harris is a great musician and a bassist, and is far better than Metallica.

Overall, Iron Maiden > Metallica.

All metallica's best riffs were from mustaine and maiden is an incredible band im tired of so many metallica fan boys. Iron Maiden are technically more gifted in the sense that each of their guitarists have amazing abilities and are incredibly synchronised. They also have a technically better vocalist in Bruce Dickinson compared to Hetfield.

________________________________________________________________

Metallica have sold more albums than Iron Maiden and Hetfield has a better metal voice than Bruce Dickinson because Bruce uses high voices where as James uses more a roar Dave Mustaine was thrown out of the band before kill 'em all was released and james is a talented guitarist and kirk composes his solos better

Cliff Burton is a lot better than Iron Maidens bassist he was the best bassist in metal

Overall Metallica>Iron Maiden

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iron Maiden beat Metallica in every category. Vocals, guitar skills, bass, drums, also a much more consistent band, having released 9 albums in a row that were all awesome in their own unique way (Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind, Powerslave, Live After Death, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, No Prayer For The Dying, Fear Of The Dark, and a Real Live Dead One). Maiden perform so much better live, having picked up a Brit award for their live shows recently. Metallica are only more popular because they were way more mainstream than Maiden.

Songs like The Journeyman and Blood Brothers beat songs like Fade To Black and Nothing Else Matters.

Paschendale, Dance of Death and No More Lies beat The Unforgiven II, The Memory Remains and King Nothing.

Not to mention Maiden's unbelievable classic catalog, consisting of classics like Wrathchild, Iron Maiden, Sanctuary, Number Of The Beast, Run To The Hills, Children Of The Damned, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Trooper, Where Eagles Dare, Revelations, Flight Of Icarus, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, Powerslave, Aces High, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Wasted Years, Heaven Can Wait, Caught Somewhere In Time, Alexander The Great, Loneliness of the Long Distant Runner, Moonchild, The Clairvoyant, The Evil That Men Do, Infinite Dreams, Can I Play With Madness, Only The Good Die Young, Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, Tail Gunner, Fear Of The Dark, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Be Quick Or Be Dead, From Here To Eternity... etc etc.

IRON MAIDEN'S 'GREATEST HITS' IS BIGGER THAN MOST BANDS' ENTIRE CATALOG.

^^ This about sums it all up.

Maiden>Metallica end of discussion.

Determining a vinyl record's value has many parts:

• condition of the record (scratches, etc)
• who or what group is recorded on the platter
• what year the recording was made
• which company made the recording (DGG, RCA, etc)

Each vinyl platter would have to be evaluated by one who is well versed in such things.

Given Blondie/Deborah Harry vinyl prices as an example:

an early 1976 12" album is worth $10;

a late 1998 (the year they switched to CD) vinyl album is also worth $10;

an early 1976 7" single is worth $20;

a late 1998 7" single is worth $5.00.

"Spiral Scratch", (1990/before CDs) the definite UK price guide to vinyl gives the following values:

a 12" album is worth $3-$8 or 2-5 GBP and a 7" single is worth $3-$10 or 2-6 GBP .

Benjamin Breeg is the name of a fictional character crated by the band Iron Maiden, His character traits are made up of those taken from past and present Band members (Iron Maiden).
Benjamin Breeg took part in a marketing plan, were Iron Maiden got a marketing website
to set up a web page of a guy claiming to be Mr. A Breeg.
The website further describes this Benjamin Breeg character and Mr. A breeg 's(fictional also)
ongoing search for Benjamin (his cousin).

Pictures of Benjamin Breeg seem to suggest that he is Eddie the Head under a different name- Probably what Eddie the Head was called when he was first alive.

I call it marketing because I have traced the website back to its creator, a web hosting company specializing in this form of marketing. I then traced five IP addresses back to five different official Iron Maiden web sites. e.g. ironmaiden.com, eddies mega store...
