I loved pre-bruce Maiden. I even have an Eddie Tattoo from around 1981. I’d have to say “Running Free” is my favorite song, with the runner up being “To Tame A Land” I have the 5 Lp vinyl box set of Best Of The Beast, with the hardback book that came with it. I think about ebbay-ing it every now and then, but I can never bring myself to do it. Jon ---

It’s eddie riding a motorcycle holding the union jack, though I changed the union jack. Also if you do ever think of selling off your LP Best of the Beast let me know I’ll take it. ---

(Bruce had quit the band two years ago.) > [@](#): > > \*\*\ Who else has done covers of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath that I could find, (cough cough) somewhere? I have the original, Maiden, and Anthrax. For some reason, I love hearing different versions of that tune. \ \*\* You mean you haven’t heard the [the Cardigans](http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1139107&cart=157178185&style=music) version? ---

> [@](#): > > Crossed eyed Mary I was freaking out just a few days ago when I found that they covered Cross-Eyed Mary (I’m a huge Jethro Tull fan) …very odd. I don’t know enough of their stuff to say if I like them or not. If anyone has recommendations I’ll take 'em 🙂 What’s with all the Eddie tats?? Raise your hand if you don’t have an Eddie tattoo…Hehe! I dated a guy for years who had a huge on his upper left arm… but then, [he](http://gallery.opalcat.com/image%2dcache/People/Gallery%20of%20Old%20Boyfriends/tom%2dand%2drob%5fdisp512.jpg) had a lot of tattoos. ---
