 Hello
my dear friends... here I am again, your's Sir Edward the Great. But
don't worry, you may still call my simply Eddy... I mean we
do know each other now for quite a few decades, at least the elder
generation of us, and we are like a big family ain't we?! Well Time goes
by too fast, I presume....I mean, just imagine, in four years,we war
already celebrating our 40th anniversary... Halleluja, that's all I can
say.. But stop, please don't ask me about my individual age. This ain't
polite, and I wouldn't do so the same, as my behaviour is british posh
living like a Gentleman, who enjoys himself but doesn't talk about
things, if you know what I mean.
Alright, I just hear, that there are still people outside there, not
knowing who I am... We gotta change this immidiately. So, it's me Eddy,
the seventh bandmember of Iron Maiden, and the most important one..I've
told you in the past (here)
without me nothing works up there on stage. I'm their deadringer, nurse
and guardian angel. And I'm definately taking part at every single live
show, though it's only for a few minutes. But thanks to my slim line and
my - always again and again - up to date fashion style, I still get the
most attention of all of themin the end.....
Because of
our current trip throughout Germany, I had already the idea to
participate at Germany's Next Top Model. But unfortunately they won't
take any male's. Though I'd have decent chances, you have to give me
that much, don't you?! For quite a while I'm an active member of the
Weightwatchers now, and I think you can spot that. For our Catwalk 2011
I have decided for a green tinted shade. Now I only have to get my boys
to make themselves up a bit as well. I mean, we all have to propose a
certain image. And I don't agree, that it's only me showing
responsibility for everything. Let's take our front pilot Brucey,
who owns a body condition such as a 25 year old olympic athletics. Of
course he's got that from me. Only this funny hat is not my thing at
all. We are not here at the Scorpions, who are trying to hide all male
lacks. My little boy here doesn't need that indeed, because his personal
haircut is still voluminous and here. (find the prove during performing
The Trooper). On the other hand, look at me. I'm a sexy gal, even
without any hair and at least sexy as Yul Brunner or Kojak were back
then. And with the right hairspray everything stays in place. No infact
I believe because of this hat Bruceys haircut gets damaged in the end.
Well, unfortunately he won't listen to me...
And at least on this haute couture hat my picture is shown, and it stays
on his hat even during the hightest jumps. Well, I'm telling you... it's
the right hairspray... pardon, sorry, we are not doing any ads here...
But I had to say that....
Well, let's see, what
else is moving around on this gourmet plate. On the very right hand side,
from your point of view, we've got Jannick, who is as fit as Brucey. But
instead of high jumps and marathon sprints, he rather concentrates on: -
let's twist again.
Hey, be carefull you scatterbrain, otherwise you get lost within this
cabel salad because of all this circle training.Only a hula hope is
missing to make this ballett dance complete. Yeah well, he's copied that
from me as well... Apart from that, he should really think about a new
anti aging program. Because the current one he's using, seems to lose
it's power. I for my part rather prefer Johnson Baby oil, to spoil my
peach soft skin. But well and howsoever... In my opinion the eye eats as
well, and so a youthful fresh aura and not not only physical fitness
can't be wrong....

Best example
is our Stevie Boy, who with an age of 50+ (sorry usually we don't talk
about age matters) still seems like 25, - well at least from a certain
distance. Him and me have actually founded this party combo back in
1975. And both of us have kept ourselves very well in shape, you have to
give us that....
With his forward going strategy in his performance up there he seems
pretty equal to the two other's, who I've described before. Though his
aura goes more for a Shake, Rattle and Roll effect. On the left we got
Adi and Davey, both the towers on the shore, as I call 'em. In their
cases the tooth of time has taken it's toll a little bit as well, most
of all what's up to Daves silhouette. But apart from that those two
buddies can also still step on the international Cat walk of Heavy
Metal. We are a cult band. And cult figures own a certain privilege and
stand above all conventions. They give everything on their 6 six
strings as always and give their last Maiden shirt for a decent solo on
the dance floor. Last but not least to make the introduction of my
family complete, I have to mention Michael-Henry, who rather listens to
the short name Nicko. But our Mr. rent a mouth is less to spot than
rather to hear, as he is buried underneath his snares and bass drums.
But we can hear him clearly - no doubt about that. So you see, we are a
perfect team, where literatually nothing can go wrong anymore.
Well let me have a quick word to our musical flower bunch, which is
focused on the current bible 'The Final Frontier' (who is of course me -
who else?) I insisted on that, because good promotion is the A and O -
whether it's the 10 prayers on this goodie, or it's the fact, that our
next vacation on Hawaii is secured. You have to know, that some of us
own a nice little mansion there. And after such an exhausting tour, of
course we wanna enjoy a neat Mai Tai again on a beach with Hula music
and south pacific sunshine.Exspecially me, who needs a healthy sun
teint now and then.
But I've been told tonight, that some of our many thousands admirers are
not quite as happy with our musical concept. Those would have rather
prefered all the very old stuff all over again and again to bang
their heads off. Don't worry my friends, you get your
2 Minutes To Midnight’ and your ‚Trooper’
– (without hat), the ‚Wickerman’ and ‚Fear Of The Dark’. –

 And
during our name hymn I've got my very moments up there. And I do enjoy
those very much indeed. Look at me, am I not at least as attractive as
Rudolf Chametowitch Nurejew, who I call short just Nuri. I am a big fan
of him and his legendary swan ballet dance. Unfortunately he's passed
away quite a while ago. But it was his own fault. Why did he put up
rather with pretty boys then with beautiful brides. Because in that case,
we could still celebrate Nutcracker suite together. Sorry, my dear
readers, I'm driving away again from the actuall subject.
By the way, what's up to Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll. My boys here
meanwhile only go for the Rock'n'Roll and maybe late night for a nice
cold beer on the hotel bar. Oh how boring, some of your might think now.
But in the end the most important aspect is still the imaginary bonfire
on stage. Then we talk again. And after such a show, we all do need some
relaxing for regeneration at our age classes... Well of course you all
get a little extra goodie here in our favourite town.And that one
includes me personal ode of joy - 'The Number Of The Beast'. Well, this
is sooooo nice, most of all when I watch you 12.000 freakies out there
at your choreography of the african rain sombrero. No 'Run To The Hills'
this time, but for the very last amen we do 'Running Free'. And that's
what my boys do now straight away towards the waiting limousines behind
the curtain, carrying you away faster then the first fan in the audiance
has left the building here.
In the end there is only one bad point left to mention. And that's the
iron law, our manager has put up. That one says, that all our trained
Apollo bodies may only be shown in those yellow press reports, which are
shown in the contracts. And that means in our case here: Metal Hammer
Magazine and Classic Rock magazine - both german editions. So you've
gotta be patient a little while until those get published. I for my part
say good bye now and look for my private separee' to catch up with my
beauty sleep for the next tete'a'tete... Therefore a big Aloha my dear
friends and 'till next time.... And don't forget.... Always Look On The
Bride Side Of Life'...
