pamparius Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 both considered the big boys of metal although obviously AC/DC are nothing to do with metal at all the two bands most rock kids grew up on. but who are the guvnors ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurreyAV Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Wow, this is a hard call. Angus and the lads just did so much and groove is definitely the best word out there for them. But Maiden are just too epic to be beaten. Their latter day stuff is not quite there for me, but I just don't think there's a better stage set or gig than Live After Death. I weep as I vote for these are two of my fave bands, but smiley Dave Murray pushes me into the Maiden camp. Just. :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted May 20, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ah, this is a bit like the Rush/BOC poll, where I don't really give a stuff about either band. But of the two, I'd have to go with AC/DC. As long as it's the lineup WITHOUT the singer who sounded like his bollocks were caught in a mangle. I don't know whether that was Bon Scott or the bloke form Geordie. Brian summat? Maiden were just a joke. Next poll, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B31villa Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It's difficult but I've gone with AC/DC. "You Shook Me All Night Long" what a record!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flec Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 ACDC just edged it, and SurreyAV: saw satch week ago on monday at birmingham symphony hall. Truely epic, far better than Vai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morduejamie Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Maiden were just a joke. how so? I choose Maiden. Infact, I'm going to see them in July at Twickenham. Should be amazing. Never gotten into AC/DC. Obviously I know the classic tracks - but everything else just seems kind of boring, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, how can you comment on Maiden looking stupid when DC have Angus Young, rolling around on the floor, in a school uniform?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy178 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 AC/DC. If only for the genius of Hells Bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'll just say I own every album with Bon Scott on vocals, and a few, maybe 3 or 4 with Brian, and I only have 2 maiden albums in total. AC/DC for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted May 20, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2008 AC/DC purely for Back in Black. Maiden are a typical example of why Metal gets such bad press. Spinal Tap anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikantcpell Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I like them both alot but i think ill have to go with AC/DC..had some really wild partys to thier music..Whole Lotta rosie is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecraft Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Went for AC/DC - for Maiden I liked Piece of Mind when it came out, and some of Number of the Beast, but that's about it. Live and on the later stuff Bruce's waily vocals tend to do my head in. I like most of the Bon Scott stuff, plus Back in Black and For those About to Rock, so I have a winner! There's something more wholesome about a band that are often mistaken for their roadcrew over a band that look like they are dressed out of a barbie catalogue too.
