See those are the sort of bands i consider punk. I would not class Greenday, etc as punk, as they are nothing liek them. Punk has changed so much from the original

Believe it or not, all music changes. But Greenday, etc are generally not Punk, or really the evolution of it.

no mate, just no. that original head was a mould of someone's face, not a corpse. it bears no resemblance to eddie as we know and love him today. they just picked out the artwork, which was coincidentally what they were looking for. derek riggs doesnt normally do metal artwork. he did it by accident. i find it hard to believe that if you met steve harris you'd ask him to settle a debate that had yet to occur. exactly how did you phrase the question, may i ask? 'hey steve, love the band. listen, tell me, was the original album cover specifically designed on the spec of the band, or was it a random cover you picked out?'

I am afraid you are all wrong.
Having been a fan of Iron Maiden ever since I got to see them in Chippenham just after Bruce had joined the band. And after following them to gigs all over the UK in the early years (a long time ago now...) I can catagorically state that Eddie's image was actually copied from the face of my wife
