Yes, for sure, they are still huge all over Europe as they've always been. They are definitely a way bigger and more known than Rush.

Between these 3 metal classics from 1988 which one is your favorite?

Really? Are they popular there as much as e.g. Deep Purple? I doubt it.

Yes, pretty much this you said. With Black Album Metallica has broken into an American mainstream, Maiden has never done it. In America if you're not commercial and in the mainstream you don't have a mass popularity. In Europe and the rest of the world the mainstream works differently than in...

When it comes to Europe Rush could be called a POPULAR band only in Britain, there they are well known and have a very solid fanbase. They didn't crack most of Europe, but they cracked Britain due to their frequent touring in the 70s and 80's, while they've toured very little outside of Britain...

Deep Purple has always been a way bigger band in Europe than America.

I can't agree. How then when it comes to classic rock, in the US non-American bands as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, AC/DC and Pink Floyd are bigger than any their, domestic rock band?

Which Maiden tune do you prefer and why?

Maiden never hit the American mainstream as Metallica did.

Only the Good Die Young is very underrated.

The Trooper easily IMO.

Metallica is more popular than Maiden among masses, but Maiden is more revered and beloved band among rock and metal fans and IM has a much more of devoted fans than Metallica. Maiden fans are similar to Rush fans, most of them are very devoted to their bands. And it would be interestng to...

Album Number of the Beast is considered the biggest Maiden classic and according to RIAA that album is certified only one Platinum in the USA, but a certification date is October 2, 1986(3 decades ago). And I personally believe that NOTB has sold at least 2.5 million copies in the USA to this day.

You judge the popularity of both bands in America only by concert attendances in the last couple of years? In the USA Judas Priest during the 80's were much more closer to mainstream than Maiden. I could bet that British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance are much more popular albums than any...

Judas Priest is obviously more popular than Maiden in America.

In your opinion is an album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" metal? From album tracks I only consider a title track and Killing Yourself to Live metal, others are not.

While none of post-No Prayer for the Dying Maiden albums went even Gold in the States, nearly all of them consistently went Gold in the UK. I got a feeling that Maiden are fairly a bigger metal band than Metallica there and I doubt are Metallica even more popular than Saxon or Motorhead. Saxon...
