Why would you even be on a metal site and say something like that.
Good luck in your boy band sites you Fag!
karljturner - 5/21/2007 12:31:45 PM I wonder if Mr Riggs ever saw Kurt Cobain's Eddie drawing from the Journals book. Obviously it was a copy off of the NUmber of the Beast cover, but still!
cannibal4life - 5/21/2007 10:37:04 AM so i was like second in line for the signings right? this guy in front of me hands him the single for the reincarnation of benjamin breeg. he handed it back and politely said, that's not my drawing!!! very nice cat. and those iron maidens. WOW!!! hot, and they kick ass? can't ask for too much more then that.
BigHairEighties - 5/21/2007 7:26:05 AM Eddie is an awesome mascot, the killers album is one of my all time favorite covers ever.
bobbyl766 - 5/20/2007 4:04:20 AM maiden sucks,they need good art to attract ppl to these albums cos their music sucks more cock than goin blind in the barracks.....
oatmeal_poet - 5/18/2007 12:11:11 PM uhhh, how about Vic Rattlehead?
Mummyman - 5/18/2007 6:22:26 AM Derek Riggs and Joe Petagno have always been my two favorites when it comes to cover art. It doesn't get much better than Eddie & Snaggletooth as far as mascots are concerned
DickFitzwell - 5/17/2007 2:32:41 PM yep, i can imagine
knaclistener - 5/17/2007 12:48:20 PM Can you imagine the elation those album buyer's would have because of the artwork when they did hear the music?
I drove out today blaring the album that the mentioned "Aces High" is on, and I noticed a cop following me for a few blocks. Tell me why I had to be a powerslave. UP THE FUCKING IRONS!!
cannibal4life - 5/17/2007 10:59:27 AM i remember seeing one of their shirts, killers i believe, when i was young, wondering wow, what kinda of music do they play??? good thing i further investigated it... up the fuckin irons.
DickFitzwell - 5/17/2007 10:05:03 AM imagine how many people bought Maiden albums, without ever hearing thier music, just because of the cover art... Riggs is great
