Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 And the parallels between these bands are always more than I previously thought. Both bands released their first major live album after their 5th studio album, in either case capping off the most critically acclaimed chapter of their career. Which do you prefer? (of course one is a double...so that may sway the votes)
alpha p Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Maybe for nostalgia/moment in time reasons, but I would go with Live After Death. Still recall buying the album on a lunchtime from college and being in awe when I got home, gatefold sleeve plus a colour book, and that was before putting it on the turntable......"we shall go on to the end........we shall never surrender" First Maiden tour we got to was Powerslave in Newcastle 84 Edited April 13, 2020 by alpha p 2
Rod in Toronto Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 There's no way in hell that Judas Priest is better than Maiden in any criteria whatsoever. 3
Segue Myles Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 There's no way in hell that Judas Priest is better than Maiden in any criteria whatsoever. Oh gosh ... Really? I mean... I love both, probably Maiden the most, but Priest get so much right so often lol 1
edhunter Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Maiden every day of the week. Superior band in every single aspect. 1
Nova Carmina Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Live After Death. And not because there's more of it; the diversity of stuff (lyrically, sonically) is better. Live After Death was an important album to me in my mid-teens; I still remember taking that cassette on a family vacation, setting a small boom box on the floor on my side of the bed in the hotel room (my brother wasn't a fan) and listening to it at night when I fell asleep. 2
chemistry1973 Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Wasn't Unleashed in the East recorded in the studio? Isn't it a completely fake live album? Like, even more fake than Exit Stage Left? 2
bluefox4000 Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Live after death. love maiden just a wee bit more. Mick 1
Texas King Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 I prefer Maiden over Priest, but in my book Live After Death is not better than Unleashed in the East.
Blue J Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Live after death. love maiden just a wee bit more. Mick This. ^ I love both bands. But Maiden has the edge here. 1
grep Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Unleashed In The Studio for me. Only because it was the second live album I bought with my own money (the first being ESL). Live After Death is however, amazing.
grep Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 There's no way in hell that Judas Priest is better than Maiden in any criteria whatsoever. I feel that way now. In the 80's not so much. Always thought that Glenn and KK were better guitar players than Dave and Adrian. Halfor as a singer had the edge for me. After 2000, when both bands were 'revived', and with hindsight, It's Maiden all the way for me. Pseudo-prog, and just all around goodness. Though one can't deny that Priest is still a force.
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Iron Maiden wants you for dead!!! Up The Irons!AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1
bathory Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 bruce isnt at the top of his game on live after death and if you see either band nowadays, rob still sounds better
bathory Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 maiden are more consistent overall though but unleashed is probably the best priest album period and better than the majority of maiden's discography
grep Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Iron Maiden wants you for dead!!! Up The Irons!AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREAM FOR ME RUSHFORUM!!!! SCREAM FOR ME RUSHFORUM!!! 4
J2112YYZ Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 Just broke the tie baby! It's tied again. You better create an alternate screen name or two so you can break it again.
Rick N. Backer Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 As for the OP's question, this poll is not fair. "Priest Live" as well as the bonus disc with the Turbo deluxe edition would be a more fair match up, since they allow Priest to access their best albums (British Steel - Turbo).
