Metallica have the better sound. For my tastes anyway. I love the way Kirk plays his guitar. Intro's to songs like Shortest Straw and instrumentals to songs like One, I find much more appealing then the sound of Maiden. Maiden may be more raw, but to me Metallica have the better progression and craftsmanship. And as much as I hate Hetfield, the band was quite simply sh
itkicking. My favourite cd is ...And Justice For All. Far more entertaining then Black in my opinion.
The one song I truely like by Maiden is Wicker Man. Trooper is good too, but I won't say I'm a Maiden fan by any stretch, stupid whiny Hill song
