It’s not wise to copy Iron Maiden’s style. They’re not exactly under the radar, so trying to pass off their stuff as your own isn’t a smart move. Take rapper OsamaSon, for instance. He’s in hot water for basically copying Eddie from Iron Maiden’s Powerslave days and using it for his FLXTRA album cover. I mean, he just tweaked a few things on Eddie’s face and called it his own. What did he think would happen?
Now, I’m not against mixing metal vibes into other genres. But straight-up copying someone else’s work? That’s a no-go. Just look at this comparison by Kurrco; it’s clear what happened. At least this is a step above Teddy.YG’s blatant ripoff of Cattle Decapitation’s artwork.
On a brighter note, it seems like OsamaSon appreciates metal, judging by his wardrobe in the “X & Sex” music video. He’s rocking a Facelift Deformation longsleeve, as pointed out by Loudwire.
