Helloween smokes them both.

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?

I suppose that you're right about the Priest influence.  I just happen to be one of those guys that associate Helloween with The Keeper of the Seven Keys albums and I consider those to be Maidenesque.  The only influence I hear from the Scorpions is the accents.  :p

About Derisoween>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kiskeoween I don't agree, but that doesn't mean that you don't know anything.  It just means that we have a different opinion and those are allowed.
