A Tribute to Iron Maiden’s Eddie

By Ben Sumner (@benjaminsumner) on August 16th, 2010

Credit a chap named Derek Riggs for coming up with the best band mascot of all time — Eddie the Head, from the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Eddie is whatever he needs to be — zombie, pharaoh, robot, even William Wallace. He’s a staple at Iron Maiden shows, usually making an appearance and stomping around on stage during the song “Iron Maiden.” With the band’s 15th studio album coming out, The Final Frontier, let’s pay tribute to the mascot who’s given one of the best metal bands in the world an unforgettable image.

Don’t forget to join the Facebook page of Ed the Head.

Let’s get this started by showing Eddie on stage during the Final Frontier Tour in 2010.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Muppets, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I take out my frustrations on people on the hockey rink using traditional Korean martial arts. I'm prejudiced against hipsters.
