I know they are always labelled as such but Def Leper vehemently Deny ANY involvement with the Heavy metal scene at every given opportunity.
Even Viv Campbell (Ex- DIO!!!) Claims he always hated Heavy Metal

It seems you got some quite constructive answers which you dissmissed.
The internet is a big place and if you bothered yourself you would have
found the information yourself :|
All we have given you is opinions and you chose to be rude about them.
Sometimes you can't help some people :|

But To Add........
And if you can be bothered to read it It mentions other bands apart
from Maiden :shock: :shock: :shock:
I know you may not have asked about these bands, but they are there
as a comparison :|
Basically, Maiden are Heavy Metal and Hard Rock... whatever you want LOL
No definitive answer anyway and that was my opinion anyway so if you
choose to disagree then that is up to you

The predominant instruments in hard rock are the electric guitar, bass
guitar, and drums. The role of the guitarist is very prevalent in hard rock.
Most hard rock bands comprise of two different types of guitarist: lead
guitarist and rhythm guitarist. The lead guitarist plays the solos, riffs and
fills. Speed-enhancing techniques such as alternate picking, sweep picking
and tapping, are used by hard rock lead guitarists to maximize the speed
of their solos and riffs. The role of the rhythm guitarist is to compliment
the lead guitarist and provide rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment to
the other instruments in the band. The bass guitarist and drummer's role
are important to the structure of hard rock music; the bassline outlines the
harmony of the music whilst the drums sustain the rhythm of the music.
During the 1970s, hard rock inspired a new genre of music known
as "heavy metal." The emergence of this genre has led to confusion
between hard rock and heavy metal bands, as the distinctions between the
two are usually subtle, and the distinction often comes down to a band's
image, rather than its songs. The two genres have some crossovers, for
example; heavy metal pioneers, such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and
Deep Purple, are often considered both heavy metal and hard rock,
whereas, bands such as AC/DC, Aerosmith, Nazareth, Status Quo, Van
Halen and Kiss, are normally referred to as hard rock.
To further the confusion, the most popular heavy metal subgenre of the
1980s, glam metal, was known to take influence from both the pioneering
heavy metal acts and other hard rock groups, such as Alice Cooper, KISS
and Aerosmith, etc. Both KISS and Aerosmith subsequently went on to
experiment with glam metal.
From a musical point of view, heavy metal tends to interpret the basic
syncopated jazz rhythm of an eight and two sixteenth carried on a ride
cymbal with a swing feel down to the bass line with a literal "straight up"
feel. Thus the "dum da da dum da da dum" bass line is a standard basis
for the heavy metal sound (as heard, for example, in Black Sabbath's
song Heaven and Hell during the verses, or in Iron Maiden's song The
Flight of Icarus. Another good example is to listen to the difference
between how the song Helter Skelter is played by the original writers, The
Beatles and the interpretation as played by Mötley Crüe.
The primary difference between glam metal and heavy metal is in the
lyrics. Heavy metal lyrical content extends from "reality lament" tone of
blues, discussing serious, provocative or philosophical ideas. Glam metal,
on the other hand, extends from its more "fantasy escapist" tones of pop
music, and tends to focus more on parties, having a good time,
relationships.
