In the battle of Maiden vs Priest riffs, we all win!

0:12 2 Minutes to Midnight - 1984 0:43 Firepower - 2018 1:26 Number of the Beast - 1982 2:29 Painkiller - 1990 2:39 The Trooper - 1982 3:15 Breaking the Law - 1980 3:50 Aces High - 1984 4:38 Electric Eye - 1982 5:04 Fear of the Dark - 1992 5:57 Victim of Changes - 1975 6:25 Wasted Years - 1986 7:15 Halls of Valhalla - 2014 Metal Rules.

Judas = more furious, Iron Maiden more melodic

Do I really have to choose? All right, I choose British metal

There is only one winner: Heavy Metal.

And the winner is: Music as a whole. Two epic bands. Don't compare them, just enjoy.

Wasted Years is one of my favorite all time riffs and solos. Adrian Smith deserves a medal for that song.

Judas Priest: plays painkiller Me: its over Iron maiden: plays the trooper Me: shit

IRON PRIEST

I admire Iron Maiden, but Priest is more powerful, monolithic. For me, this realization came a few years ago during their 30th anniversary tour for British Steel. The last minute and a half of Steeler, their delivery of that instrumental portion was the fiercest, most brutal attack I’ve ever heard at a live concert. The timing, the precision, the volume, the speed, simply amazing.

Two legendary bands, not competing but transmitting the same language to the world

Hopefully Judas Priest and Iron Maiden will tour together in 2021 or 2022 I know Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson have been talkin about doing a stadium tour together in the next couple years

How could you pick a winner between these two epic godfathers of Metal, both RULE ! Dude, where was the ripper!!!!!!

IMO, Painkiller is the definition of metal.

Judas Priest will forever be my favorite. I can listen to Sad Wings of Destiny from beginning to end any time 🤘🏼

Iron Maiden for life 🤘🏻🤘🏻 I love maidens stories and harmonized melodic riffs. Both are legend though.. no real winner here

I'll always like Iron Maiden more,but priests are legends too

I love these battles because no one can lose! Win-Win.

IRON MAIDEN Team.....

Maiden for ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘!

Thank u for playing Victim of changes!

Iron Maiden is my most favourite metal band because maiden was my door to enter the metal world when I was 11 years. Now I am 22. I am following Judas Priest since I was 13. Got to admit both bands kick asses🤘🤘🤘!!! I will choose maiden forever but priest are also legends! I am proud to be a metalhead 🤘🤘🤘 Bruce Dikinson and Rob Halford are gods of metal🤘🤘🤘

Hard to compare Priest and Maiden becuase Maiden went more Melodic with their Guitar Playing after Piece of Mind where Priest stayed more in the straight Metal until Painkiller. I hate how these to bands get lumped together as the same type of music just becuase Halford and Dickinson have Great Vocal range. I'd be hard pressed to say which is my more Favorite band because I Really LOVE both Priest and Maiden. You could add Saxon to that Great Guitar Metal List too. and the First two Leppard Lp's were damn sweet also!

Breakin' the law, breakin' the law !

Iron priest vs judas maiden 🤘😂🤘

Judas priest army gather around

Honestly, Judas Priest. If you listen to painkiller you can see the immense skill that the whole band has

The Priest 's riffs are more evil 😁😁😁

Okay made my decision.....I pick .....IRON PRIEST!....

Maiden's is more playful It's Because os Steve Harris Bassplaying And he composes riffs Priest is more stronger riffs But two farly strong british Metal genius

Both are legend in their own unique way of playing 🤘🤘🤘

Team IRON MAIDEN

JUDAS PRIEST!!!!!

Maiden makes me happy , Judas priest gives you that riff right in the feel , Judas priest my favourite

My two favourite bands

I love both, they are my favourite bands, but Maiden has a place in my heart

*"IN THE NEXT VIDEO: BLACK SABBATH VS LED ZEPPELIN"*

That's very cool. Two of my favorite bands. And it made me see it in a different perspective. Maiden has a more melodic riffs and JP has more raw and attack on their riffs. They are both great but different and I love them both. IT'S A DRAW. We are all winners. 😃

That was freakin' awesome! Thank you for this!

This man deserves SO MANY more subs. .. Loved it tanks

Love that you brought the Firepower riff! Such a great comeback album, I couldn’t believe it when I went through the album the first time. Had they become 50 years younger? Or did they suddenly remember how to make the best metal in the world again? I mean seriously - Firepower, Lightning Strike, Necromancer, Rising from Ruins. Traitors Gate and especially Flamethrower would have been given classics if they were produced in the 80s.

I prefer iron maiden but the priest riffs won

I loved this!! Love the comparisons and the humorous way it's put across! Really talented guitar player too! 👌👌💯💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘

You didn't include the Sentinel here :(

up the irons!

Heavy Metal is the winner

Straight up, my two favorite bands ever. I tend to enjoy Judas Priest a bit more and I do think they have the more technically skilled members, (although I do believe Harris wins over Hill) but Iron Maiden is much more theatrical and has better lyrics. In recent years, I think Iron Maiden have been putting on the better live shows, but Judas Priest is also older, so it's not really a fair competition in that sense. Judas Priest is the band that first got me into music, but Iron Maiden is the band I kept mimicking when I first started playing guitar. My first major project was learning all the songs on Powerslave. Regardless, they're both absolutely phenomenal and I'm glad to see both sides are receiving so much love in the comments section. Edit: Forgot to mention, not only is Priest older, but there is also the absolutely heart breaking situation with Glenn and his battle with Parkinson's. Glad Dickinson beat out cancer. Long live Metal!

Maiden has Steve Harris to go with the Guitars making the sound more powerful.

Dos grandísimos grupos a los que llegué a ver en directo en los años 80. Buenos toques de guitarra, saludos.

The Maiden Guy seemed to be very impressed! Personally i am a bit more of a Priest Fan, even though i really honour Maiden!

Difícil essa batalha, são duas grandes bandas. Eu diria que temos o privilégio de poder ouvi-los. Parabéns pelo vídeo.

KILLER JOB BRO ALWAYS LOVE YOUR BAND RIFF BATTLES

Nos gustan muchos tus videos....esperamos mas como este!!

I am a big fan of both, but I prefer Judas Priest.

if this was a logo contest it would be much harder to pick

I loved the part where judas priest starts glowing, but iron maiden cuts him off with a face melting riff, so JP throws up the bird 😂 Its the little things I guess.

Team IRON MAIDEN :)

Iron Maiden... for the Win..!! there songs are stuck.. in my head!! since i was a teenager...

These are some of the DOPEST f$%king licks YET! Love this channel and wish that I would have found you SOONER! 🤘 🤘

Nightcrawler by Judas Priest should've been here it's one of their best riffs

Definitely one of my favourite riffs Judas had created is "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll". That riff is killer! Love the video man!

Both are legends, but i stay with the priest, more powerfull and heavy riffs no doubt!

It was really entertaining to watch, well done :)

let's have people like you to upload music worth seeing , all the videos are amazing, I watch them because they are perfect. thanks for the videos, Riffs Battle is amazing let's have more people like as Miguel Sequeira.

Love all Maiden, but just something about Priest !! The heavyness!!! They are second in seniority only to Sabbath!! All Metal Royalty today for certain!!!

GRANDÍSIMO MIGUEL. Me encantou ver seus caras quando o "outro" fez os solos do grupo rival

🤘gran trabajo Miguel🤘 ambos son los ganadores🤘

I'm pretty much fan of Maiden but, im pretty much more fan of Judas, also Judas has 2 monsters in guitar, Glenn and K,K they both play at dual guitar perfectly, i like it a lot

Iron Priest ? Judas Maiden ? Miguel Sequeira is "breaking the law"... "somewhere in time" ;-)

There simply isn't any competition between the two. Both are KILLER BANDS !!!

I love finding these so cool and kinda funny in a good sportsman kind of way

I think both are great.

that was seriously cool, i really had a good time listening to this, clearly a win-win, what about a merciful fate follow up? they were some real riff masters

YOU ARE THE BIG HIT, BRO - I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON THIS VIDEO...simply amazing...i´m a big fan of both bands...keep on making such groovy stuff...greets peter

Great!😉 You even made me laugh! 😁 Congratulations! Keep on rocking! Yeaaaaaah!!! 💪

Judas Priest team! P.s. Both are legend, but honestly, painkiller defeat all iron maiden riffs;)

My god don't make me choose. Love them both.

Esse é o vídeo que mais gosto do canal 🤘

You have to give us two bands we can actually compare against each other. It's too hard to choose when both bands are that damn great and you can't actually say one or the other is better. It's totally unfair when we can't make a logical choice.

Love Judas Priest 🎶🎸😎

Priest wins for me. Both of them excellent ones but Maidens riffs are composed by Harris so maje them more one-chord style. Priest instead is heavier and last album Firepower oh my god they are more powerful than ever.

Thank you very much. It was great!!!

Maiden all the way’🔥🇬🇧

Metal gods I worship them both

Iron Maiden may be more popular and have sold more records, but Judas Priest ist the most influential heavy metal band ever. They released two epic LPs (Old Testament - British Steel and New Testament - Painkiller), that showed the direction music is going up tp now. Btw they started playing thrash metal even before somebody knew what the hell it is - Sin after Sin - 1977 (Grammy-award-winning Dissident Aggressor)

Judas Priest: Plays Painkiller Me: BATTLE IS OVER

Very good! Keep it up 🤟🏻

Iron Maiden, king of music.

A new band ..."iron priest".

OK you driving me nutz i wanna get on your vid with my bass guitar.......snippets of sound and im all jacked up!!

Nice hay brother great job on the video and playing

Started listening to Priest about 78 and started on Maiden about 80 or 81. Though there were imitators, no other bands at the time blended the heavy guitar sound with such a wide and powerful range in the vocals. Their harmonys are still inspiring new musicians to this day. These bands are the epitome of heavy metal.

When it comes to Priest and Maiden, its very hard to pick sides.

Yes! I'm going to see both of them in concert in October

i really really like maiden but with judas priest i can't get bored after a while
