Broskirose Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Punk rock is pretty shit for the most part imo. But weren't Maiden a little Punk themselves before Bruce? Not musically, but the first singer (whatever his name is) had the look, voice and attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Fucked up the title to the thread. I think it's supposed to say: "Iron Maiden". Sorry bout that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not musically, but the first singer (whatever his name is) had the look, voice and attitude.yeah the first 2 albums pre bruce had a punk influence that was common in the NWOBHM movement. adding the punk influences to metal in the very early 80s is what saved metal from being just a fad and dying off. paul di'anno ( the singer on the first 2 maiden albums) very much had a punk influence in look and his voice. maiden was offered a record contract in 1976 or 1977 if they wanted to play punk which maiden turned down.this is really on par what dickinson has said in the past. he went to see maiden in the early days and basically said di'anno was shit and that he should be singing for them. by 1982 the slight punk influence in maiden was gone. this really just stems from that time. it is where the punk vs metal rivalry comes from, and the bands/fans that were there at the time still kind of hold that rivalry.

RandallFlagg Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Read this on ultimate-guitar earlier on, bit silly sweeping every single band in a genre to one side. I like Maiden a lot though, I remember Axl saying 'I certainly hope not' when asked if GNR had anything in common with them lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I can respect Iron Maiden as a band, but Bruce always manages to come off as a total dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The punk vs metal thing is probably the gayest "rivalry" in all of music, when you combine elements of both genres I think it's easily the most exciting style in all of guitar/drum/bass based music. Like anything else, anybody who leans too far to either side is a total chode, in this case; Bruce Dickinson, and he's had more than enough time to open his mind, which makes him a super-chode.

MEXzilla Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This guy sucks and so does his band, and I don't even like punk(heck I don't even know what punk is). Seriously what bands qualify as punk bands? Are The Stooges punk? If so then I dig punk but if it's all The Clash and The Ramones then fuck Punk.

Guest Len B'stard Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Is this the guy who turned to Islam and then back again? My mate Leon knows him, drank in the same pub, apparently he was a massive cock that everyones just took the piss out of.EDIT: sorry, i read the word Dianno up there and thought the vid was his.Sounds like some boring old fart from a redundant genre whining about another old and redundant genre.

To be a metaller you have to fulfill certain tick box requirements, i.e.:You have to smell slightly of stale cigarettesYour parents have to be on the doleYou have to drink Special BrewYou have to be called Nigel or else have a mate called NigelYou have to be thickYou have to have a bad complexionYou have to be slightly afraid of foreignersYou have to be unemployableThere's a few others but I'm sure you all know em The punk vs metal thing is probably the gayest "rivalry" in all of music, when you combine elements of both genres I think it's easily the most exciting style in all of guitar/drum/bass based music.

There will always be shitty uninspired bands and boring uninteresting metal heads/punks to make fun of, the guys who are super hardline one way or the other are the worst though. It's just too dumb for words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, its only a bit of a giggle, little bit of healthy aggression never hurt no one at least you have seen a metaller, punkers have been on the endangered species list since 1980. you know your genre is fucked when its big "comeback" consisted of blink 182 and avril lavigne in all seriousness though it is fun to bust each others balls about this stuff. to me though the best i have heard it put was on a site some time ago. it is a sibling type of rivalry just mention pop music and both will be distracted by equal amounts of disgust plus metal vs punk isnt really a rivalry, you cant have a rivalry between a hammer and a nail Edited June 24, 2014 by bran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 East Bay Ray can fucking play. Just saying.Anyone who says punk musicians can't play should listen to The Clash and Dead Kennedys. I am sure someone can help me out and name more bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
