J'ai voté autres pour le trooper que je trouve génial.
Sinon j'aime beaucoup le Powerslave aussi, enfin pas le Eddie mais la pochette en général, un travail de composition assez énorme avec pleins de détails cachés assez sympa

Un ancien ingé lumières de MAIDEN, Dave Beazley, raconte comment est né le concept d'Eddie. A lire pour les amateurs d'anecdotes
Get Ready To Roll!: What creative juices led to the concept of Eddie, and how much input did you have into the way he developed? And have you come to look on Eddie as one of your family?
Dave: Eddie The 'Ed was a joke that was going around at the time, i.e. a couple had a child, but when the child was born it was only a head — no arms, legs or anything else. The couple were devastated but the doctor said, "Don't give up hope. When the head's grown to its full size, which will be when the boy is about 14 years old, we'll fix him up with a body." So the couple put Eddie on the mantle-piece and looked after him for the next fourteen years. On his fourteenth birthday they said to him, "Eddie, we have a very special present for you," and Eddie replied, "Not another fuckin hat!" So yes, the idea for Eddie grew out of that joke! In the song "Iron Maiden", the lyric goes, "See the blood begin to flow," etc. So, on the backdrop that we used for the pub gigs, with the help of a friend from art college I rigged up a mask that was made from a mould of my own face which coughed up blood in time to those lyrics. The Eddie that was used as the band became more famous was designed from artwork by Derek Riggs, but the original idea started with that joke, and that first mask. As to whether I see him as family, yes, in a way I suppose I do!
Get Ready To Roll!: Tell us about your design for the "Piece Of Mind" set etc.
Dave: By the time IRON MAIDEN were promoting the "Piece Of Mind" album, the tours were running into months rather than weeks. We'd previously hired all the lighting equipment, but with a 10-12 month tour coming up it was obvious that it would be easier to design and build a set that we could take with us on the road. Not only would this be cheaper in the long run than hiring, but it also meant that everywhere we went, the fans could see the same show. In the late '80s the USA venues were generally able to offer more scope for a lighting system than UK and European venues could offer, and we felt that everyone should be able to see the same quality of show — so I designed a ground-support system with a moving lighting rig which could be taken into every venue we'd be playing at.

Colors bleed but never fade
Celles-là sont cools aussi, ne serait-ce que pour la provocation gratuite . A ce niveau-là, le metal est devenu assez largement consensuel de nos jours (hormis les rigolos du black metal)
Somewhere in Time : la pochette est tellement remplie de réfèrences , c'est un plaisir à chaque fois de la parcourir.
De plus on retrouve Eddie "l'assassin" un peu mis de côté depuis Number of the Beast.
Quand on voit ce qu'on voit et qu'on entend ce qu'on entend , on a pas tort de penser ce qu'on pense !
