Calling Maiden "Hair Metal" is asinine.
IMO, the best example of Melodic Death is Dark Tranquillity. Anything with the Gothenburg sound.

I'd say Amon Amarth is a great example of the genre.

Its neither speed nor hair metal.
Its english heavy metal, no more no less.

if that song "The Trooper" is Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" then it doesn't belong on the Melodic DEATH Metal page. That song is just speed/hair metal, which isn't bad, it's just not Melodic DEATH metal.
