Ahhh have you ever gotten an Iron Maiden book and found the same stories and pictures that can be seen on the internet, magazines and papers? Well let me tell you EDDIE MADE ME DO IT (THE BEAST ARISES 1973-1983) isn't that kind of book...
See pictures of Steve before he even dreamt of being in Maiden, along with pictures of Smiler, Early Maiden, and even a naughty Steve getting ready to give the opening act a good pieing...

Wel, here's something different.... This one appears in the current edition of Rock Hard (Germany). Here's the translation I made: EDDIE MADE ME DO IT (THE BEAST ARISES 1973-1983) by Luis Mariano Rodríguez
The number of official book publications by Iron Maiden is relatively limited, which perhaps is quite good. Because of that, a number of independent authors and fans have stepped into the breach to fill the gaps with their knowledge, some of them with highly specialised works. One of them is Luis Mariano Rodríguez, whose hardcover book "Eddie Made Me Do It (The Beast Arises 1973-1983)", with 336 large-format glossy pages, concentrates solely on the early days of the East End Boys. He has undoubtedly done his homework and knows much of the secondary literature that has appeared, from which he sometimes quotes. The core of the fluently readable text, however, is formed by self-performed interviews from former and current band members (including Thunderstick, Dennis Wilcock, Paul Di Anno, Dennis Stratton, Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson) as well as other contemporary witnesses (such as roadie Steve "Loopy" Newhouse, cult DJ Neal Kay or illustrator Derek Riggs, who even has his say very often). Rodríguez goes into the content with almost manic meticulousness, for example, there is a short interview with Leona and lan Morton, the ballet-dancers from 'The Number Of The Beast' video. Also really enlightening are the articles, live reviews and interviews in the section "Iron Maiden In The Press", which is added to the respective chapters, and range from "Sounds" and "Kerrang" to the "Winnipeg Free Press". Particularly noteworthy here is a cover story from NME from 1982, in which author Paul Morley conducts a very critical, often over the pain threshold ("Steve, would you say you're a racist?"<) conversation with Dickinson and Steve Harris. Many partly unpublished photos round off the book. Only the somewhat simple layout and the unnecessarily repeated quotations in the chapter summaries (including a meticulous list of all tour dates) are worthy of criticism. Nevertheless, there is no way around "Eddie Made Me Do It" is a MUST for Maiden fans and researchers. A sequel is already being planned.

Nice review, congratulations!
Does the book feature the full NME piece from 1982? Rod has managed to successfully brush that under the carpet (I wonder why
) and it is rarely discussed in Maiden-related literature.

Yes it does feature the whole thing! As the review says, is kind of an historic review so I just couldn't let it out

Aww I don't have fb. What about Instagram?
Came back home yesterday had a deep sleep and all the morning I was reading your book up to late afternoon. I was so immersed that I hardly caught the day light for a walk with my better half.
Such a great experience being back home, reading on the bed, your book and my lady next to me being lazy for hours. Been ages I wasn't immersed that deeply for other reads than work. Thanks for that.
Sad news is that I'm at the end of Number of the Beast now...
Hope the second is coming soon haha!

I really love knowing you (and everyone else who has the book) have been enjoying it and learning new stuff from it as it was a huge labour of love and dedication, as well as a very honest effort to tell the "true" story of the band.
The Instagram account is maidenstory666 but I must be honest that even though I post regurarly there, the real interesting stuff I usually share in the FB which also gives entry to the private YouTube channel.
As for the second one, is still in the works and I hope that in a couple of months it sees the light of the day, however, some of the VERY interesting interviewees take their time to answer, so it doesn't completely depend on me but I know people are gonna love it already 'cause some of the material within, once again, has NEVER been revealed by the people who were actually there
Once again thank you so, so much for your nice words mate. Really appreaciate it.

Yeah is one of those things I really like to do as an extra for people who trust in my work. In the FB group I post the scans of my almost infinite collection of scans of magazines/newspapers related to Maiden, ranging from the very first one in 1976 to 1987 (the years that I intended to cover in the first book) once the second book is out it will cover the 1976-1993 years.
I have also uploaded to the YouTube channel some interviews and the plan is to eventually upload the audio interviews I have conducted plus really old ones (ranging from 1980 to 1999). Is a huge project but all for a good cause.
