So, Eddie and Vic Rattlehead are two of the most well-known band mascots ever. Of the two, which do you prefer? Please, no band bias, just who you like better only based on the artwork.

I like Eddie better (sounds like Eddie Vedder...), personally, since I think that the versatility he has is amazing. The fact that he has also become a huge component of Iron Maiden is big, too.

I'm going with Vic because I've been him (see my profile pic).

Going beyond my own shallow reason, I do like Vic better in general. I like his artwork better for the most part, though Eddie's awesome as well. For me, Eddie's incarnations have really been hit ad miss for me. He's had some truly awesome appearances (like pharaoh Eddie) but he's also had ones I find mediocre (like cyborg Eddie). Vic's just remained consistently awesome, even his new incarnation (though it's nowhere near as good as the classic, in my opinion).

I like Eddie better myself, but Vic is also pretty badass.

I love Megadeth but Iron Maiden has the best album artwork I've ever seen nothing can beat the number of the beast cover. The 2 computer generated artworks are pretty bad but almost all the others are amazing. Vic is cool but he doesn't have that same WOW I get when I look at the Maiden covers.

Ah.

Never bought any Megadeath. That would explain my ignorance - but I have seen him on the covers.

So, who can tell me what's the only Iron Maiden video not to feature Eddie?

I don't know, I usually don't watch many Maiden videos. >_> Rainmaker?

Anyways, Eddie.

"Two Minutes to Midnight" would be the one you're looking for.
