Iron Maiden Picture Game

[Diesel 11]

So does this mean that the significant details of "what the character is" comprise something other than "an oil rig"?

Anthropomorphic personification?

Is it The Tower off Chemical Wedding?

Clutching at straws now

To both - nope!

 

[Navigators Ghost]

You said it was a soly song from one of the guys right?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

So no-one has correctly identified the relevant detail in the picture? But there is a clue in someone's solo work?

Or else we've all misunderstood completely

Spoiler

"Misunderstood" = ASAP reference

Di'anno - Dont let me be misunderstood? :/

Diesel must have forgotten what song he had in mind by now...

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Can someone direct me to where I can find the current clue?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Which one? The actual picture is on page 178 but we've had a few more "clues" since then (and they've got less helpful as they've gone on ...)

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

The character doesn't matter, but what the character is does.

He's made of metal, but that's a Judas Priest song.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

He's also got silly goggly eyes and a dodgy 'tach ...

Maybe the "solo work" clue is from Bruce's Samson days

In that case the answer is The Ides of March.

Diesel never forgets.

So true!

The picture links up with a certain Maiden member's solo work, which links back to an actual Maiden song. So far the closest guess has been:

Maybe the "solo work" clue is from Bruce's Samson days

...but even this one is off. Keep at it!

Is it close because of chronology (i.e. another band member's work outside of Maiden at that time) or close because it relates to Bruce?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

That wasn't actually a serious suggestion, it was just a joke about Bruce's dodgy moustaches in days gone by, eg:

Spoiler: bad taste alert ...

But Samson would qualify as a solo work for this purpose? I would have excluded Samson, White Spirit, Gillan, Urchin, Wolfsbane and Psycho Motel as these are actual bands the members were previously/subsequently involved with rather than solo or side projects. The only true "solo albums/projects" would be the five by Bruce, ASAP and some (but not all) of Blaze's post-Maiden work. And maybe Primal Rock Rebellion. Even British Lion is borderline, as this is an attempt by Steve to be in another band ...

 

[Perun]

Paul Di'anno claimed to have worked on a North Sea oil rig. Which means the clue could be anywhere in his vast solo discography.

Whilst claiming benefits?

Oh pup, I'd forgotten about Di'anno - if we have to trawl through all his sprawling post-Maiden output we'll be here forever ...

@Diesel 11 right now, I presume.
