AudioMover has shared a new video featuring a deep dive into the friendly fan-fuelled rivalry between Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in the early ’80s:
“Who really ruled heavy metal in 1985—Judas Priest or Iron Maiden? In this episode, Robert John Hadfield dives into a fascinating vintage Hit Parader magazine that attempted to settle one of metal’s greatest debates. Using interviews with Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, K.K. Downing, and Glenn Tipton, the article explores the similarities, differences, and friendly rivalry between two of the most influential bands in heavy metal history.
Along the way, Robert examines the contrasting images of the two bands, their different approaches to success in America and the UK, their views on MTV and music videos, and the albums that defined the genre in the mid-1980s. The discussion also highlights classics like Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders Of The Faith, The Number Of The Beast, and Powerslave, while asking whether fans ever truly had to choose between these legendary groups.
The episode also includes a Rock Trivia Challenge focused on drummer lineup changes in both bands, Nicko McBrain’s pre-Maiden career, Dave Holland’s connection to Trapeze, and a look at which drummer was the elder statesman in 1985. As always, Robert shares personal memories from the era and invites viewers to weigh in on one of heavy metal’s most enduring arguments.”
