message: Okay, 1st of all, there's no citation for the story of Eddie's body told by whoever-it-is.  Also, it's just unnessecary. It tells the same story as the above one, and with all the "umm"s in it, it's really hard to read. So I'm deleting it. Thhhh (talk) 22:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: we all know about the song "the reincarnation of benjamin breeg" on the new album, right?  And harris refuses to say who breeg is.  well a friend of mine told me about breeg, he was an occult obsessed painter/writer who vanished in the late 70's  His cousin runs a website www.benjaminbreeg.co.uk trying to track breeg down.
Anyway he took a photo of one of breeg's paintings, an eerie face in an abstract painting.  It was done in 1977.  It looks like eddie.
although eddie's look didn't solidify until a few albums in, he looks more and more like breeg's painting with each release.  could there be a connection?
There'll be some connection, we just don't know what. IMO Eddie IS Breeg but we'll have to wait and see. (The Elfoid 11:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, the evolution bit looks horridly speculative. How about just a simple chronology of Eddie's change in appearance. -TheHande 16:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Eddie also makes a brief literary appearance in Bruce Dickenson's first novel "The Adventures Of Lord Iffy Boatrace".  Not sure if he appears in the sequel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.128.193 (talk) 04:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello all, I would like to point out a repeated error here that I have just corrected. Eddie's name, when discussing his full name, needs to follow naming capitalization rules. Inotherwords, "The" is his middle name - which is also clearly indicated in the article:
:"Eddie's full name is Edward The Head (Edward T.H–– the remainder of his surname is hidden by a clump of soil on the Live After Death cover.)" 
Note, it's Edward T. H(ead), which establishes T(he) as his middle name, and thus not used/capitalized as it's normal adjective form. Odd, huh? But, if a word is used as a name, it gets capitalized as a name - just as is done for other people, towns, cities, etc. Best, ROBERTMFROMLI | TK/CN 18:12, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I take it that the lead picture represents a body painted man. Does anyone know who he really is? JIP | Talk 20:29, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's one of the roadies in a suit. The man is believed to be Ashley Groom, who works as a set carpenter- this is only known to Maiden fans who have circulated his identity on the online forums. Unfortunately, as this isn't documented by any "reliable" sources, this information cannot be included in the article, although bass technician and keyboard player Michael Kenney does hint at it in this interview- http://www.darrellmillar.com/rclmichaelkenney.htm --Nerdtrap (talk) 22:31, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Who is the guy in the picture?

message: The somethere in Time picture isn't representativ, becasuse he only appears in one album that way. It would be better to use a more "typical" picture of eddie. Important features, seen in most pictures are :
* long, white hair
** (in some post piece of mind pictures) bald or short hair and scar on the forehead
* tall and skinny appearance
* wrinkled and grey skin
* sunken, white glowing eyes
* lined face
* evil smile
* rotted white t-shirt
* jeans

message: The first version of the mask (that spat fake blood during the song Iron Maiden) is not associated with the fact that it replaced the stunt performed earlier by the former singer, Dennis Wilcock, who used blood capsules and a sword. 2001:B07:646D:7095:A18E:37D7:5DD1:722B (talk) 18:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
