Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What pub is Eddie standing outside of on the cover of "Killers"?

Answer: Ruskin Arms

Eddie, holding a bloody axe in his hand, has just dispatched an unfortunate victim who came his way. In the background of the picture, we see people peeking through their curtains at the crime. Also, we see the Ruskin Arms pub, a venue where Iron Maiden played many of their earlier shows in the late 1970s.

2. What time does the digital clock read on the "Somewhere In Time" album?

Answer: 23:58

A reference to "Powerslave's" single, "Two Minutes to Midnight," 23:58 is military jargon for 11:58. This album cover featured a futuristic city, with Eddie depicted as a cyborg. Many references are made to past Iron Maiden singles. Take a look at the album and see how many you can find.

3. How many chains are holding Eddie on the "Piece of Mind" cover?

Answer: 3

This is the first album that features Eddie after his lobotomy surgery. He is shown in a torn straitjacket, chained to a padded room.

4. From "Live after Death," what is Eddie's middle initial?

Answer: T

His last name is obscured by a clump of sod from his grave, but the visible portion of the headstone reads "Edward T." The way I understand it, the band nicknamed him "Ed the Head," so the "T" stands for "the." Thanks to Funtrivia member nosferatu666 for this information.

5. What is the main color of the apple in Eddie's chest on the "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" album?

Answer: Green

Why it is green, I do not know. The cover features the upper body of Eddie as a cyborg, holding a disembodied womb in his outstretched hand. A map of Europe is faintly visible beneath the sea of ice that also shows phantom images of past album covers.

6. Which Egyptian god stand over the sarcophagus on the BACK of the "Powerslave" album?

Answer: Anubis

Anubis, the jackal-headed god, ushered dead souls into the underworld.

7. Another "Somewhere in Time" question. What street is Eddie standing on?

Answer: Acacia Avenue

The name of the street is barely visible in the upper right hand corner of the picture.

8. Until the "Fear of the Dark" album in the early 1990s, who did the artwork for Iron Maiden's album covers?

Answer: Derek Riggs

Riggs has illustrated more for Iron Maiden than any other artist. Melvyn Grant drew the artwork for "Fear of the Dark." Riggs came back to drawing for the band for their "A Real Live One" album.

9. Which cover features Eddie wielding a large samurai sword? "Maiden _________"?

Answer: Japan

Actually an EP release, the cover shows Eddie emerging from a rising sun, holding a large samurai sword. This EP contains live concert recordings from the Japanese leg of 1981's "Killers" tour.

10. What city is depicted on the cover of "Brave New World"?

Answer: London

The cover shows a futuristic interpretation of the city of London.
