Bruce>Rob

Maiden>Priest

although i like both Halford and Priest

Ok, for the record: Bruce=Dio=Gillian>Rob>Ozzy.

Lord Abortion completely sums up my argument for Maiden vs Preist. Some of Preist's music is increadable, but I cannot listen to anything from British Steel without cringing in pain. I mean its like... Spinal Tap or something.

[QUOTE=-The Frank]Dios a fag. Ozzy is the man :thumb:[/QUOTE]
Ozzy can't sing for s[size=2]hit[/size] any more, he was never awesome to start with, Dio's voice is much stronger and he's still great. i want to see him next time he tours.

hmm, i'm not a massive Gillian fan, although he isn't bad. but Dio is definitely as good as Bruce, bar 2 facts: he's not in Maiden. and he can't fly planes.

Haha, right, Josh.

I really like [I]British steel[/I]...but stuff like [I]Defenders of the faith[/I] is just mediocre.

yeah i agree sabbath was better with dio and ill even admit too that dio is better than bruce, dio is like the voice of metal man.

Rob Halford has a way better range than Bruce Dickinson. He has his low range, mid range (which is totally unique, no other singer even comes close), and his all out scream, like Ressurection off his solo album with the same name. Rob Halford is the undisputed king of metal screams, and if you deny that your ****ing stupid.

I actuallly think that halford and dickinson are extremely similar, they both can get low growls and can both get high notes too

Im a huge Maiden fan, and Im also a huge priest fan. Maiden does better guitar work. Priest has better vocals. In my books, they're even. But ive seen both priest and Maiden live and Halford sounds way better.

Yeah but Priest doesn't have Nikko McBrain (better drummer), or steve harris (best bassist ever)

Priest has a better live show, Janick Gers prances around like a fag. Amazing guitarist, though.

I disagree all of iron maiden "prance around" but not like fags. I liked Maiden better when i saw them in concert and it was only a month after i saw priest so its not like i forgot what they were like live

I didn't really like Bruce's low growls a lá NPFTD and FotD albums. They don't suit his voice IMO.

That said, I love what he does with the deep voice on FotD (song) at RiR, and on the start of HBTN.

Bruce definately has the range, but he's far from the best growler and he's not the best screamer I've heard either.

Bloody good singer though. I'm not a fan of growling or screaming.

Bruce sound the best on Powerslave.

[QUOTE=Joey_]Bruce sound the best on Powerslave.[/QUOTE]

123

I also thought he sounded good on Somewhere In Time, but live from that tour...not so good.

Rob could pull of things that Bruce certainly can't. Not a knock on Brucey, just a compliment for Rob. He's so much more versitile, just listen to Painkiller and then Electric Eye or something. Bruce sings mostly in the same style.

Brucey & Rob > 99.9% of all other singers

Halford = Better Scream and growls

Bruce Bruce = Better 'normal' singer

That's what the conclusion was last time we had this.

Now, onto other Maiden related things...

I'm at that stage where I know every maiden song in known 'verse, I need the new album and I need it know!

Last time I was in this thread I got recommended the Piece Of Mind album, so I actually bought it and do not regret it at all it is such an awesome album, so thanks. Also how often to Maiden go to Australia for their tours? Im a relatively new fan and would like to see them live, so is it possible for the next album?

Yeah, they'll tour there.
Halford has a better scream, but Bruce is better at everything else.

They will? Awesome, are they working on a new album atm?

i believe it should be ready and released by the summer, at least that was the news posted on maidenfans.com last year. then hopefully a tour starting in the Autumn.

the album's meant to be a concept along the lines of 7th son of the 7th son, which, incidentally, i've been listening to a fair bit lately. i love Only the good die young, especially the bass solo after the first guitar solo. well, more like a really cool independent bassline.

in the event that they don't you could always make your own

I really can't wait for, Seventh Son is an awesome album. Seeing them will be one of the highs of the year.

seen them twice already :p. my 11 year old brother wants to see them next time, he'll be 12 by then, and if it's at Newcastle the pit won't be too bad, i'll just have to try and keep him near me so i don't lose him.
