A very late night recording this one, plus whatever other excuse you feel like putting in for this one being a bit sloppy in places :P

I used just the P pickup for this one, in true Steve Harris style :)

Pretty decent fella :) . I actually play and sing this in Delirium, and I have to concentrate on getting the notes so my version is probably a lot more sloppy!

God! Singing and playing at the same time is something I can only dream of doing at this stage! The odd backing vox (ie shouting) are about all I can manage :lol:

Thankyou buddy :)

I get the sound from my pedalboard + Zoom B3, and the video from a 12 megapixel pocket camera. The picture quality would actually be loads better, but I have to compress the hell out of it because my laptop is 12 years old and super slow :lol:

Yeah I saw those! Apparently they're very similar to the Quarter Pounder I have on this bass, but with better midrange response. They'll definitely be good if you want high output.

Great skills mate. We're thinking of covering this in my new band so will have to brush up.

Just out of interest - have you always played with 3 fingers? I grew up playing Maiden but have always used 2 - tried to covert to 3 a few years back but I'm too set in my ways!

Thanks man :) It's a really fun song to play once you nail 'the gallop'!

I'm not sure when I started playing with 3 fingers, it was probably after about 3-4 years. I still use 2 for quite a lot of playing though as it feels more natural. Interestingly enough, Steve Harris actually uses 2!
