    Talk about short barreled rifles.

    First, shame on you for daring to belittle Maiden. Second, they don’t know guns, or at least the graphic designer doesn’t. Bruce Dickinson is actually a military history buff and I think he collects tanks. That doesn’t mean he knows guns, of course, but I’ll bet he knows that graphic don’t hunt.

    It needs more cowbell

    An anti-bullpup.

    I know, that’s always irritated me about those icons, although you can tell that it was done for stylistic purposes; the guns would be a jumbled mess if the magazines were where they’re supposed to be. I guess they could just have chosen a better gun for the image.

    Great album, though.

    Is that the forward grip for a pump-action?

    They’re British, they can’t know guns.(Humming Run to the hills as I type………….)

    Steve Harris plays bass better than anyone who reads this blog…

    …unless Geddy Lee reads it.

    They need to watch the “You suck at photoshop” series on Youtube.

    What the hell is that?! Iron Maiden used to have album covers that were works of art you could appreciate even if you had shitty taste in music and didn’t like Iron Maiden. Those covers made awesome posters which you’d want to frame, and they were the ones you kept when you grew out of having posters on your wall. This one isn’t even good enough to be a bumper sticker.

    It’d have been easier to simply cross them further up the rifle, at about the front end of the hand guard, rather than down at the action.

    Spare mag carrier?

    I don’t know squat about dinosaurs either, but when I wanted to use a dino in a print ad, I got the graphic artist several professional renditions of one, so she could study them. When we wanted to use some moonscape shots in an ad, we went right to NASA photos. When Disney was making Bambi word is he brought in a live fawn for the artists. It ain’t hard to do a minute or two of research, but unfortunately this sort of oversight is common.

    It would have been better leave the magazines off rather than put them in the wrong spot.

  14. Breda Says:

    It totally needs a shoulder thing that goes up.

  15. Tam Says:

    I thought maybe that was the shoulder thing that goes up. I’d always wondered what one looks like.

  16. B Smith Says:

    ‘Shoulder thing that goes up’= shrug, as you say,”What the hell is that?”

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
