He's a very well rounded player.

I think you're underestimating my love for Steve Harris. Maiden is one of my favourite bands and I agree that Harris is a legendary bassist. His two finger triplet technique and stamina is amazing. As the primary songwriter for Maiden he does a brilliant job... his basslines are top quality, yet they don't intrude and dominate the songs too much. He knows when to play and when not to play.

But I still only just prefer Trujillo who is a more diverse bassist than Harris. They're both in my favourite bassists list and I've learned basslines by both.

I love this post a lot. A well thought out post.

Why is this thread not Metallica vs. Megadeth?

Maiden is not thrash metal.

Well, to be an exceedingly snappy asshole about it...

Maiden's peak was when they were just covering "Doctor Doctor" by UFO over and over again and changing the lyrics, so they don't have much going for them.

Megadeth should've disbanded in 1991 because they haven't released anything good since. And even in 1991, 50% of what they had released up to that point was shit.

Metallica released three really good albums, and then, as much as I hate saying it (about any band), they really did sell out. Completely. And Lars' paintings suck.

Fairly split but I went with Metallica because they have more songs that I enjoy. But Iron Maiden is most defintely a metal staple.

Iron Maiden suck,
Metallica is just a band full of wankers.
"Hey man, I'm feeling a tad poor"
"Wanna sue someone?"
"Sounds good"
