About this deal
Senjutsu, also created by Mark Wilkinson, depicts Eddie as a samurai from feudal Japan based on an idea from Steve Harris. [100] Samurai Eddie made his first appearance in the animated video for the first single from the album, " The Writing on the Wall", released four days prior to the announcement of Senjutsu on 15 July 2021. Well … OK, I’m gonna’ give it away now, because nobody got it. Here goes: it’s supposed to be Winnie the Pooh. A robotic Winnie the Pooh, because someone made fun of Xi Jinping, saying he looked like Winnie the Pooh, so he banned Winnie the Pooh. Stagno, Mike (13 September 2006).

This was the ‘Great Inflatable’ tour. Dave Lights was still doing our lighting stuff and he was well into inflatables,” Bruce remembers. “He had a bit of an inflatable megalomania, in fact. He built inflatables that were so big they wouldn’t actually fit inside the sodding buildings! We had two big hydraulic hands, which would raise up – not Spinal Tap at all! – with big Eddie claw hands that would inflate…” One wonders if Somewhere In Time had put Derek close to a nervous breakdown. "I don't have nervous breakdowns," counters Derek. "Despite what some people might think, I'm quite stable (laughs). No, but that wore me out quite severely. I was living in London at the time, and working on that for two months, and it took three months in all. I just had to stop, because I had had enough. It got into my head and I just couldn't see anything else. I couldn't think about anything else. It did my head in, because there're all these little details. I started hallucinating, and in the end I was just sitting there and daydreaming about what each character was doing. All these little people, where were they were going? What did they do with their lives? I just had enough of it and stopped for two weeks in the middle. But I don't have nightmares and then paint them. It starts and stops on the canvas — usually. But that one was very intense, when you're working at that rate for that long with that much detail... pretty intense bloody work getting that done."Running Free". Derek Riggs.
