I like Helloween a lot, but let's just say that they are strongly influenced by Iron Maiden. |
Eh, I don't know... maybe during the Walls of Jericho/Keepers era that everyone seems to like best, but I really think their strongest influence is Priest (with some Scorpions thrown in). That may amount to six of one, half a dozen of the other, but Priest is what Kai Hansen cites as his influence and that's what they'd have grown up listening to. Maiden dropped their first album only three or four years before Walls came out.
Then again, I think Derisoween >>>>>>>>>>> Kiskeoween, so what do I know?
