Best/Favorite Iron Maiden Cover???

Subject: Best/Favorite Iron Maiden Cover??? Sun Dec 21, 2008 9:04 pm

Tough one, eh??

Beside The X Factor and the hideous Dance Of Death covers, they're all GREAT at some level...but if forced to decide I'd say

Powerslave - due to the Egyptian theme

Somewhere In Time - A CLOSE second due to the incredible detail and little things here and there in the picture.

I thought this was gonna be about Iron Maiden covering other bands. I was racking my brain thinking of some of their covers.

Anyway, as far as album covers go, I've always been partial to Live After Death. I drew a pic of that in a copy book back in high school for the kid next to me in study hall. I like Piece of Mind too.

Live after Death has always been my fave.

I always liked the Piece of Mind cover, though I also think Fear of the Dark, with Eddie coming out of the tree is kinda cool too. I also like the Best of the Beast with "the many faces of Eddie" on the front.

A note about Dance of Death - Yes the cover sucks, but the inside pix of the guys with the blurry half-naked chicks are pretty cool! greedy

Killers
Piece of Mind
The Trooper (single)
some of their Single and EP covers were as good as their album covers.

Somewhere in Time
Aces High
Maiden Japan
Powerslave

Maiden has always had really good covers, even for their singles. The only exception is the Hugh Syme cover for The X Factor. Really didn't like the whole nine inch nails thing,.

My favorite Maiden album cover is Somewhere In Time. It's a tough choice - I like all of the Derek Riggs cover art.

Best/Favorite Iron Maiden Cover??? Iron-Maiden-Iron-Maiden---Yel-421463

The original version of the debut album. Anybody know why this artwork has been changed in recent years? I'm assuming it's some kind of licensing argument.
