the_skezz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think I've found a new deity to worship. That video is my bible, and that man is my God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amj Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Love it! Such a great advert for the classic P bass, and I'm a J bass owner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I loved that video. Thought it was awesome. The song changes were all just seamless how he did them, not to mention the playing. It also just goes to show how much talent steve harris has not only as a bass player but as a songwriter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I love they way this guy seems to be full of joy whilst playing his hero's basslines. Cut-off denims rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTee Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I bought my first Maiden album (well, a compilation - Somewhere Back in Time) this week at the age of 34! Bloody good it is too - can't stop playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleblob Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Absolutely brilliant ! Totally agree with the previous comments - this guy played really well, the choices in the medley merged seemlessly and what an advert for Steve Harris's brilliance as a bassist and songwriter. Thanks for sharing - top notch. [i]"we're blood brother's, we're blood brotherrrrrrrs"[/i] Sorry, couldn't help myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chest Rockwell Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 just reminding me why I love old skool Iron Maiden so much (up to 7th Son anyways). I only know like, one of those basslines! what am I thinking?!?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have recently rediscovered Maiden after a 20 year break. Good to see that they are getting a lot of love at the moment. Steve Harris was my inspiration for picking up a bass, but strangely I don't know any Maiden basslines either. This video will change all of that. Thanks for posting.

purpleblob Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wouldn't go so far as to say I started playing bass due to Steve Harris (I started on bass in a hope to pick up girls, how wrong was I!) but Running Free was one of the first bass lines I learned to play, the guy is one of the few who plays catchy or just plain interesting bass lines in this genre of music. Funnily enough I lost some of the love for Maiden after the number of the beast, although I still went and bought all their albums as they were still better than most metal out there. I was a bit of a die hard Di'Anno fan so that may also have had something to do with it, but must admit the last three studio albums have been absolutely fantastic and long may Maiden continue producing such music.

davidmpires Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Maiden are the nuts, saw them in Portugal in 98 and again in Twickenham in 2008 and they still rock my socks off. Good old metal as it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='936198' date='Aug 25 2010, 05:55 PM']I loved that video. Thought it was awesome. The song changes were all just seamless how he did them,[/quote] That'll be because they are all at the same tempo and in the same key.... Harris was one of the reasons I was alble to put down the pick at age 17. 'If he can do it....' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just fabulous, that's the best bass vid ever, love it. I'm selling everything and getting a Precision . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megallica Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sounded great - I've had a bash at a few Maiden tracks, number of the beast/trooper/aces high/clairvoyant and each time I've struggled through each one I've had more respect for Steve Harris. Loved the sound of the accoustic on Blood on the worlds hands at the end of that vid. Watching Live after death and Cliff 'em all knda ingnited my love for bass playing back in the day.
