Up The Irons. Iron Maiden is in the Region of U2, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones and Metallica in terms of Concerts and the ability to pull crowds. A Matter of Life and Death is one of the best albums of this Decade. Bruce Dickensons voice holds people captured in the palm of his hand. Bon Jovi is nowhere near that level that Iron Maiden is at in terms of Ability for pulling in crowds for concerts. I cannot count the number of great Iron Maiden songs because there are Too Many. From "Prowler" to "Killers" to "The Number of the Beast" to "Flight of Icarus" to "Aces High" to "Stranger in a Strange Land" to "Moonchild" to "Holy Smoke" to "Fear of the Dark" to "Sign of the Cross" to "Futureal" to "The Wicker Man" to "Paschendale" to "Brighter than a Thousand Suns". that is one Song from each album that you should go out and Listen to.

I can't believe Bon Jovi, the wussiest band in the history of rock, is going over metal legends like Iron Maiden. This is a travesty! Iron Maiden was one of the bands that brought Metal to the mainstream in the 70's and 80's. Bruce Dickenson is one of the best frontmen of all time. Bon Jovi is just weak compared to the monster that is Iron Maiden. If you have a soul, and enjoy good old 80's metal, PLEASE vote for Iron Maiden!

Long Live Bon Jovi!!! I hope they win the 80's!!!

Seriously, I live Iron Maiden, but Bon Jovi transcended SO many lines, and they are still putting out fantastic albums today. Iron Maiden is a great band, and of the "big three" in metal (Priest and Sabbath the other two) Maiden is easily my favorite. But Bon Jovi are rock gods. Richie Sambora is a fantastic guitarist, and I don't see the blues rock stylings of Bon Jovi bowing out any time soon.

Come on Bon Jovi You can do it.
Bon Jovi all the way Bon Jovi with no disrespect to iron maiden is on of the best singer's today, His music is catchy and as Irish said They are still pumping out great song's to this day. Living on a prayer, love a bad name, are some of the song's that Will go down in history a hundreed year's down the track they will still be as popular. Bon Jovi FTW.
So people make it a slaughter vote Bon Jovi.

When I heard that Brain Johnson's ACDC had already been beaten, I rushed to see whom they had fallen too. Little to surprise to see that Bon Jovi was the winner of that match. I like ACDC more than Bon Jovi and, had I been aware of that match, I would have said something.

But now we have Bon Jovi vs Iron Maiden, and despite my love for Maiden, I will admit that I will admit that I do enjoy Bon Jovi better. Living on a Prayer, is till one of my favorite songs as of today. I think that Bon Jovi deserves to go far in this tournament, and at least over Maiden, however I can say that Bon Jovi may have a hard time keeping themselves in this thing, especially if they run into a match with Metallica, Sting, or Queen
