Killers--Iron Maiden
Meet Eddie: punk-born, axe-wielding, and metal to the bone. On Iron Maiden’s Killers, the band’s infamous mascot came into his own—bloody, maniacal, and unforgettable. But Eddie didn’t start on a cover—he started as a joke… and a mask… and maybe propaganda? From papier-mâché pub gigs to pesticide-soaked North London flats, the birth of Eddie is as outrageous as the art itself. This week, we dig into the mayhem, the making, and the metaphors behind Killers—the album where Eddie got his groove (and his weapon). Grab a copy and listen along with us.
