derek riggs punya Hallowed Be Thy Name Live dan the single itself

Aku rasa ada dari korang suka benda2 gini, so aku share kat sini. Tu hari pasal Aces High, ni lak aku ambik dari buku dia pasal artwork Hallowed Be Thy Name Live yang released 1993 dulu untuk jadi single dari album A Real Dead One.

Below are his words on the idea for the artwork,



but the best are the words ' some might argue that this particular Eddie looks a bit like Nicko, but... '
I never realise this until I read the book and previously never notice the similarity between Nicko and Eddie for this single.



Moving on to the single itself.
This is the most traumatic era for me as a Maiden fan. You cant bear to listen to this single and the accompanying album without realising that Bruce will never sing for Maiden again.
What a relief that he returned with Adrian in 1999 huhu.



CD Single tu beli kat Dada Records masa released. Tu jam harga $12 je kot.
Sapa sangka sekarang cd single ni ngan cd single Fear Of The Dark dah berpuluh2 kat ebay, tahu aku dulu gi Dada Records beli semua cd singles Maiden yang ada haha.

Wasted Years telah dijanickgerskan dan aku tak suka, TETAPI Wrathchild tu sesuai betul ler lepas dijanickgerkan.




Yang 7 inci Poster Bag edition tu, huhu...baru jugak..haha...aku make a bad choice dulu in deciding nak kumpul at least satu version 7 inches Maiden from any pressing per release as priority sebelum moving on to picture disk/cut-shaped disk etc, pasal rupanya 7 inch ni susah betul nak completekan...
Aku tak tahu cammana nak dapatkan Purgatory 7 inci. Siot betul.
Twilight Zone transparent 7 inci pun aku dah surrender hahaha.
Tapi you never know...huhu.
Sanctuary aku ada, tapi.. aku nye censored version. Apa boleh buat.

Pemerhatian aku, even photos kat sini tunjukkan conflict between Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris is really bad at that time.
As seen from the photos both of them were never side by side, and it was unsual to have neither as the one at the center.
Both are also reluctant to smile, in fact the photos really show the unhappiness well. That adds to the stress and sadness to me as a Maiden fan.

If you guys can get the bootleg of the TV broadcast of the 1993 Milan show in Italy ( I think there should be footages of it on youtube ), check it out.
It really shows the unhappiness on stage with Steve , Dave and Janick really doing their best and Bruce...well Bruce just seems to be out of place.
Luckily I got and watch the bootleg after the reunion or it will give me trauma seeing my favourite band disintegrate on stage huhu.


the other side

Sekarang nengok balik gambo2 gini, rasa lega sey haha.

ooo yang tshirt Bruce tu Catherine Wheel tu adik dia nye band tak salah aku
