Wrathchild (Iron Maiden) vs. Ace of Spades (Motorhead)

[Solomon]

Heavy metal matchup.

 

[Anthony M]

it's a tie

 

[airwarrior]

I've never thought of Motorhead as heavy metal. I don't even think they think of themselves as metal.

That said, Ace of Spades FTW.

 

[geetarboy]

I dig both songs, but Wrathchild wins by the hair on Lemmy's mole.

 

[Polynitro]

wrathchild! The opening bassline, dave murrays blues fills, the bridge, this song RULES!

 

[?&!]

That's like asking me to choose between one of my nuts. I couldn't imagine being without either one.

 

[deluxemeat]

depends- is it the re-recorded version w/ bruce bruce singin' over the bed tracks from the killers version?

cos that one is awesome!

 

[shane8]

ur comparing iron maiden to motorhead? omg

 

[jaycee]

Up the irons!!!

 

[BMF Effects]

Apples and oranges.

 

[Release]

I gotta go with Maiden here.... but winning by jussssst a hair.

How about a choice between Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name" and Priest's "Beyond The Realms of Death"? That would be much closer in styles.

Sorry fellas, true metal head here with no love for Iron Maiden, can't get into the music or the vocals: although I will give them the credit for triplet playing/galloping in metal.

Motorhead all the way, I like my classic metal'n'roll, their crusty style is still unique in the realm of all things heavy.

Another awesome Lemmy fronted track is Shake Your Blood by Dave Grohls' Probot - give it a listen if you've got the time.

What is Motorhead? Basic RnR? Punk Rock with balls? Mosh?

I like my metal, but I had to vote for AoS. Lemmy rules.

 

[Bankston]

Since when is Motorhead NOT considered a metal band?

This is a fair comparison, since both songs blend metal with some punk influence. I'll take Wrathchild just because I'm a huge Maiden fan, but Ace of Spades is a frakking good song.

A true metal head and you DON'T like Maiden?

To each his own and you like what you like, but I don't get that one.

I agree about that track Lemmy did with Grohl; it's awesome. Reminder to self: go buy the Probot CD.

Or not...I hate when Bruce does Dianno songs. The first 2 albums are Maidens best. Bruce is good but Paul Dianno FTW.

 

[Brooks]

can't choose one over the other, both are some of my fave metal tunes.

big +1, i prefer the sound of dianno's voice. and lemmy's!

as for probot, the lemmy track was the only one worth a crap IMFO, don't buy the cd, just download "shake your blood".

Thank you.
Maiden died after 'Killers'.

That said, I can't vote on this one....my two favorite Punk/Metal songs? That's like choosing between twins.

 

[Ides of March]

Wrathchild, first because it comes after the brilliant instrumental used as my username.

Second because Paul DiAnno ****ing rules and so does that lineup of Iron Maiden. Can't beat Killers.

 

[roomservice]
