00:03In that period, the Iron Maiden logo,
00:07Eddie stood out way beyond any other band that was out there.
00:13I mean, it was this really dynamic logo.
00:17It's hard for me to think of a more recognizable mascot
00:21or imagery associated with a hard rock band than Eddie and Iron Maiden.
00:27You know, it was just such an incredible creation.
00:31Eddie had a huge thing to do with the success of Iron Maiden
00:35because here's an image of this character, creature, whatever it is,
00:40that people could somehow kind of relate to.
00:42The thing about Eddie is he transcends generations.
00:46So you always could lure a young head in with a character.
00:51Eddie is a monument.
00:52I give credit to Maiden. They understood the flag-bearing thing.
00:56It connects with the fans, the nationhood of it.
01:01Eddie just progressed every year.
01:03Came up with the grand support system, the moving rig that no one else had.
01:08So every year, I actually better what I'd done the year before.
01:12We created the monster, basically.
01:15He...
01:15So...
01:16He killed the 55 people...
01:17That's what he did.
01:17For now?
01:17Yes.
01:17I hate him 50.
