So the big question is who can even be a decent match=up for Iron Maiden? I remember back in the '80's when metal magazines would occasionaly bring up the Maiden vs. Priest question. Maybe around 84-85 that would have been a fair match-up, but Priest have dropped greatly since then. Another one that pops upis Black Sabbath vs. Iron Maiden. Not bad, but you get inot the very different line-ups and sounds of Sabbath that kind of make it hard to judge. No, I think the best match-up is....


Iron Maiden

Two bands who played classic style metal, but perhaps neither ever got the recognition that they deserved.

Megadeth vs. Metallica

Remember the slight few "feud" between these two bands many years ago? The metal mags of the day were all too happy to print anything they thought might sell copies. Mustaine's time in Metallica has always connected these two acts despits the fact that hist ime in Metallica was relatively brief and a long time ago. Still today's battle is...



Megadeth

vs.



Metallica

Both have had ups and downs. They both contributed greatly to the early thrash scene, but both acts went for sounds that were much lighter by the 1990's. Megadeth have gone through numerous line-up changes and Metallica have gone through several changes in musical direction.
