Eddie Appears in the Last ABBA Video at Eurosong

Posted by The Saint on May 13, 2004 @ 07:24

Swedish superband ABBA were being reunited for a last time at yesterday's famous Eurovision Song Context (called 'Eurosong').

It has been 30 years since the group won the event with their world-reknowned 'Waterloo' and they've decided to make cameos in a one-off video to tell the world that they won't reunite.

Four puppets appeared in this 'Last Video Ever' as caricatures of the singers and performed some of the band's hits to a record company executive.

Watching from the balcony of that office were numerous guest stars, including members of ABBA, Cher and ... Eddie of Iron Maiden ! Dressed in a black shirt with the famous Iron Maiden logo, he seemed to enjoy the show as everybody else !

For an interesting insight on how the idea for this video (and its cameos) emerged, read this Abbasite.com article

Note that you can stream the video from a dutch website: Songfestival (choose either 'smalband' or 'breedband' then press play).

And all the Maiden community was tuned on the Eurosong... Can you believe it ! That must be the greatest marketing ploy to make us see that pop thing

Did you try the link that I have put in my news post ? It's a stream and the demand is heavy, so it won't always run. Try again. That's the only known link on the net for the moment.

I'm trying to work something with some ABBA fans to get at least one picture of Eddie in the video. Will post it here asap.

Cheers
