Hello, Boys and Girls... sorry, Girls and Gals, and all you other hairy creatures who like to boast about going Balls to the Wall. To liven things up, annoy some of you, and give others some twiddling to do, I propose yet another highly important and spear-breaking poll.

Let the majority of worried citizens decide which of the presented bands was the best live band in the whole Solar System IN THEIR HEYDAY. I urge you all: try to be objective - which is impossible - and give your vote regardless of your personal preferences (or mine, for that matter).

We all dwell here on the Iron Maiden forum; we are fans of Pretty Maids - sorry, Iron Maiden - so the result may seem obvious. But for the sake of the greater good, I am addressing you all: don't be a vessel for evil, which, as we all know, is a deed done by men. Vote for which band was the best live band in their heyday.

Everything matters: the music, the visual aspect of the concert, the attitude, attendance, and how well the music from recorded LPs, tapes, CDs, etc. translates into a live setting.

In the comment section, ass-whooping and nut-kicking are allowed and welcomed. Let the majority decide.

As it already decided that Eric Adams is the ultimate voice of metal. Relax, I'm just being crazy. The highly respected and competent voting commission decided - as expected - that Bruce Dickinson has the best voice among the candidates presented in the previous poll. All hail Bruce, the Mighty Seer, The Revelationeer, The Power of the Mortal Slaves, and the creator and visionary behind the astonishing The Chemical Wedding lodge.

So, now it's time to choose the ultimate live band(s). Let's proceed at our own risk here. Good luck!

You can choose up to 3 bands as your picks for the best live band.
 
I picked Maiden, Metallica, and KISS. To me, the early days of those New Yorkers are very mysterious and attractive. My fourth band would be AC/DC - not that I like them very much or listen to them extensively, but in my mind, trying to be objective, those Australians ruled stadiums for the better part of their career.
 
@MindRuler, if it's not a secret, I would like to know which band you would choose as the best live band in their heyday, since you chose the "Other" option.
Queensrÿche? Accept? W.A.S.P.? Slayer? Megadeth? Dire Straits? Michael Jackson? Some other diamond in the rough? I am very curious.
I included mostly the biggest bands in this poll.
 
I went with Rush, Maiden and AC/DC. I’ve seen all three live, but as much as I enjoy Brian Johnson I would have LOVED to have seen Bon Scott.

It’s funny I saw three of these bands in one day during the Van Halen Monsters of Rock tour. Metallica rocked but the Scorpions stole the show. Van Halen by this point was meh and we joined the throngs of people who left before they finished up.
