Is Eddie the Head a robot?Įddie the Head was a Bladerunner inspired cyborg robot on the sleeve for Iron Maiden’s 1986 album ‘Somewhere in Time’.
Eddie’s first official appearance was on February 1980 single ‘Running Free’, however it was in silhouette form as Iron Maiden didn’t want to reveal Eddie’s identity yet. Iron Maiden’s long-term manager Rod Smallwood then recruited artist Derek Riggs to bring Eddie the Head to life on Iron Maiden’s self-titled debut album ‘Iron Maiden’ in 1980. Eddie soon evolved into a larger fibreglass head equipped with laser eyes and breathing dry ice through his mouth. The first incarnation of Eddie the Head was a papier-mâché mask created by Iron Maiden’s early lighting and pyro man Dave "Lights" Beazley.
