About this image
took me a while before i thought, dang i do not like those posters & painting, why i never changed them sooner i dunno, duh... :D think to busy with other things. This is for myself ofcours, fan off Iron Maiden when i was 11 and still am. Bought the first album not about the music, i had no clue what kind of music it was. Bought it becuase the amazing painted cover. Love for heavy metal was born that day :D :D

The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why.
Strange World with old leadsinger Paul Di'Anno not to be forgotten who sang the two first albums Iron Maiden & Killers
Out of all the bands to emerge around that time (Saxon, Def Leppard, Quartz, Holocaust, Tyger Of Pan-Tang, Praying Mantis, Angelwitch, Avenger, etc) they were the ones with the most distinct, unique sound. That sound wasn't there anymore with Bruce Dickinson, although that was largely made good on by his voice.
Much later, I found an unnamed, untitled song on a stick with music my ex brother in law gave me. It was Bruce Dickinson singing but I didn't know the song. I have Iron Maiden's and Dickinson's solo complete discographies along with that of Samson (Bruce's first band) and I for the love of me couldn't find the song.
Then, finally, I had a listen to the Blaze recordings and there it was: Lord Of The flies. I listened to it (with Blaze) and didn't like the song at all, but with Dickinson on vocals it got a whole new dimension and even a better melody. That's when I said "damn, these guys should re-record those albums with Brucie"...
Most work is for Derek Riggs the one that did the real job. I only placed it on a nif
