You've Got Another Thing Comin' (Judas Priest) vs. The Trooper (Iron Maiden)

[Solomon]

Classic metal matchup.

 

[todd richman]

"Scream for me Long Beach!!!"

 

[Solomon]

Not that it has anything to do with the poll but I am listening to Piece of Mind right now and Nico McBain played some killer drums on that album.

Trooper. I love Priest, but that song isn't very representative of most of their stuff.

 

[Polynitro]

The Trooper! Galloping thunder riffs FTW!!!

 

[torgeot]

The Trooper - that Priest song just got way too much airplay.

 

[Bankston]

Anothing Thing Coming is the first song I ever learned to play.

But I can't choose between the two. I love Maiden and Priest.

 

[JDW3]

I love JP more than Maiden. But that song was never heavy for me. In fact I used to make fun of it when it came out.

So yes, Trooper all the way!

 

[Alvis]

There's better priest than that
TROOPER ,the galloping horses.....word

 

[Brion]

Oh we had another thing comin', we just didn't know it yet. Once Halford 'came out' it changed a lot of the meanings to those songs and it made me feel kinda dirty.

 

[Release]

The Trooper by farrrrrrr.

I'm a HUGE Priest fan..... and had been for years before this song came out but, man, I think this is an awful song. Maybe it was just played too much on MTV and the radio when it came out but it's......by far..... the weakest song on the Screaming for Vengeance album IMO. And sadly, the success they received from this song alone changed the way they wrote from there on out.

The Trooper is the only right answer. I love Judas Priest, but You Got Another Thing Coming isn't even close to their best work. If you put that song up against one of the best Metal songs ever written, it just can't win.

 

[svenhoek]

It should have been The Trooper vs Stairway To Heaven. One monster classic versus another...

 

[hawkeye17]

I always liked Maiden much more tha Priest(who I just never really got into).

 

[ESPLTD200FM]

Trooper....Iron Maiden is way better......

 

[Dave Orban]

The Priest, for sure!

 

[Phil M]

I don't love either band but come on. Maiden!

 

[Josh O]

I'll take The Trooper for $1000 Alex.

+1

Where Eagles Dare is just bad ass no matter how you look at it.

 

[BIGGERSTAFF]

The Priest, for sure!

Dave, you'll have to make a roadtrip down here for a whiskey tasting/jamming out to some Priest. :AOK
