awkward eye Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I read somewhere that the original painting for this cover wasn't much larger than a cassette case.That's amazing considering how much detail is in this cover, needless to say this my favorite Iron Maiden cover...Props to Derek Riggs for this shit.

decibelrebel Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Di'Anno over Dickenson for me. Bruce IS the human air raid siren but the older Maiden has a better feeling (soundhouse tapes, demos, s/t are hard to beat!) Riggs was definitely better before he started using photoshop, my bedroom walls were a shrine to him in the 80ies...would still be if my wife didn't call the shots. Best covers are (in no particular order): •Live After Death •Somewhere in Time •Piece of Mind •Number of the Beast •Seventh Son of a Seventh Son •Running Free EP (first press, not the live '85 version) •Stranger in a Strange Land •The Trooper (maxi single) •Aces High (maxi single) a wild looking triptych are the maxi singles for: •Evil That Men Do •The Clairvoiant •Can I Play With Madness a special mention also for the Destiny-Atomic Winter cover which is not bad work either. ...and since we're talking Maiden, get this, I sold a 12" single of Wasted Years last week on Jewbay for $160AUD, in a DJ Sleeve too mind you not even in the P/S. Maiden diehards are among the biggest vinyl maniacs on the planet!!! (just search youtube for the band 'NIFELHEIM' and check out Tyrant & Hellbutchers insane Maiden collection!!!) - SUPPORT THE VINYL SOLUTION - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 WTF is this doing in this thread? Theo, can't you go into one thread without gaying it up with pics of homo black men with bling playing with chemicals to see which one has the effect of loosening their arses for the impending reaming? And my vote goes to Killers.:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
