Both are great covers, but I like Aces High better even if I'm not crazy about the camo logo. I love how they always had Eddie in different times and places. It kinda made him, like the band, transcend his own time and place.
This is a tough one for me. Two minutes to midnight was the first Maiden button I ever owned and stared it for a long time in classess in ninth grade. I prefer Eddie on Aces High, but I prefer the background and band logo on Two minutes to midnight. If forced to choose I'll take Aces High.
Aces High by a landslide. I've always liked that picture of Eddie shooting fools down in the skies over England:P

ReplyDelete2 minutes.
ReplyDelete2 Minutes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because I live in Japan...but I don't like that mushroom cloud on the "2 Minutes To Midnight" cover.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, Eddie looks meaner on the "Aces High" cover.
Totally Aces High. I still have the poster in a trade from you, Mark.
ReplyDelete"Aces High" and not just because it has "high" in the title.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed a similarity in the riff of "2 Minutes" with Venom's "Welcome To Hell?"
