It isn't important to me. I've no idea who made which cover.
I might start a petition to end petitions.
I can imagine that Riggs isn't a option anymore if the parties don't get together and talk things over. Still it is possible, and a comeback is not entirely unrealistic before Maiden calls it quits.
What is more realistic? Get rid of the incompetent fools who did the artworks of the albums since Dance of Death.
Fear of the Dark, The X-Factor, even Virtual XI. Much better. Get rid of the amateurs, bring (back) the real artists.
Still don't know what to feel about the TFF Eddie..I think I liked him more when he was done in that cartoon style as on the Final Frontier artwork and El Dorado. On the original album he was neither cool nor menacing, but kudos to Grant for trying to re-imagine Eddie again (best Eddie that Melvyn has done is Fear of The Dark IMO)
I still don't dig the Final Frontier album art. Eddie just looks gawky goofy, sorta like the hairy monster (except without the hair) from Big Trouble in Little China. I thought the single, pulpy comic cover art they used for TFF single would've been a fantastic album cover instead. Very unique in the Maiden catalogue, and would've stood out brilliantly as an album cover.
I think the real life Edie on TXF cover was not only an awful idea, but poorly executed too. Somehow, though, it works for that album. But I hope they never do it again.
