Steve Harris doesn’t get the credit he deserves for his innovation and unique sound … Up the Irons!!!
say what? He's incredibly famous for both
@@RaceDayReplay Still not enough credit. Every capitol city on the planet should have a shrine to Steve Harris.
Steve Harris is one of the most known, universally praised and appreciated bassists. I'd say he's probably one of very few bassists who actually gets at least close to the credit he deserves.
Steve harris, Geezer Butler and Cliff Burton are the metal bass god fathers
LEMMY
@@ericjewell4451emmy is not a bass player though. He’s just a guitar player on a baritone guitar essentially
Motorhead isn't metal. I would say Frank Bello
@@fingersmcoy Lemmy might slap you from beyond the grave for saying Motorhead isn't metal.
Dont forget alex webster!
Thank you for doing this. Steve should always be a part of the bass conversation.
Great point.
Loved this. Thank you. Steve is the reason I picked up the bass, and I actually got to tour with him in support of his other band British Lion. Such a lovely guy, incredible player, and a living legend. A few points you made were a little off, but there is no point in mentioning them when this video was a sheer joy to watch. You two are phenomenal. Thank you for cheering up my Saturday even more. Much love and respect to you both ☺️🙏🏻
Im kinda jealous you got to tour with him! Great Job as well dude!
Met him and the rest of the guys in 1992, courtesy of Janick (fellow Hartlepudlian, whose parents lived next door to my friend's parents). My first thought was 'fuck, Bruce is so short' lol
How cool - but would love to know what was off?? when you have info direct from the "horses mouth" that is so valuable! Please share !! ❤
Phantom of the Opera is one of my all time favorite bass lines!!! I use it to warm up or to get my chops up if I haven't played in a while. Even after learning it 33 years ago, it's still a challenging song to play.
Absolutely!
She said it was made in 1998 nope it was the late 70s
I love the 1-3-5 break of that song in the middle. Yeah, I just recently learned to play this one as well.
Steve does not use a pick. He is using his first two fingers along with the floating thumb technique. He plays with an incredibly light plucking attack in which he kind of bounces off the strings on fast parts. This way he doesn't burn out his forearm.
Yup, I was lucky to see British Lion in a tiny club a few months ago and watch his technique from 6ft away. Very light attack and really low action.
@@samba1412 The low action gives him the clicking sound as well. Clairvoyant is the best example for that.
Yup, and he also uses a good amount of compression on his sound as well, which I guess is part of the reason why he's able to keep his sound/tone so even, even though he plucks the strings very lightly.
Bounces off the flat wounds
What year did he quit using RoundWounds, was it about 1990-1995 he went to Flats?
I think he was saving his hands. Man got skills. 👌
"2 MInutes to Midnight" is on my practice playlist and it is a blast to play. I call it "the pentatonic playground" and the "onslaught of 1/8 notes."
It's a pretty straightforward song but it has enough variation in the fills (and an excellent bass-driven outro) to make it an excellent song for early intermediate bass players to learn different ways to do fills over the same chord.
I love Ian and Sharon's chemistry. Such a good video, and I've only seen Sharon twice, but she should be a regular. Ian is simply the best. Such a knowledgeable and fantastic player, a good teacher, and a seemingly better person. Scott is no slouch either. Keep up the great work!
Awesome dude! Thanks so much for checking out the video & supporting SBL 🧡
The Clairvoyant is another killer Maiden bass part. Steve was a huge influence on me as a young player (and still to this day). Thanks for featuring him in this video.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Unreal! Somehow after 40-odd years the man is still underrated - rapt to see Steve Harris get some kudos from the channel. Personally, my favourite Harris bass playing is during the instrumental section of Powerslave - delightful interplay between the entire band. Thanks for a grouse episode \m/
Steve Harris underrated? i think not.
I agree, mate;-)
How good is Powerslave, as a whole from start to finish?;-P
Up the mighty Irons!!!!
50 years more like, Maiden got big in the 80s but they've been around since the 70s at least. Harris is a beast even as he's getting older.
Everyone misses Sea of Madness. That bass line is amazing! The clank fits so well.
How can you play bass without knowing Steve Harris? I'm glad you both got a little deeper in the catalogue and developed some appreciation for the legend. Maiden are unto themselves. Unlike anyone else, and Harris, despite not writing Wasted Years, has probably written 80% of their music. It is incredible what a strong creative influence he is on one of the most unique and iconic bands of the last 40 years.
Also, Wrathchild and Phantom off the Paul D'Anno era catalogue. Those songs are way more raw then the Dickinson era, but exceptional in their own right. Always glad to see them get some love.
Well its about damn time! Thanks for this, Steve Harris is probably the most underrated Bass Player in the business. He's a bloody nice bloke too.
You killed it! That ending with the Trooper was so dope. Hallowed be thy name is also such a classic gallop tune.
Watching Ian during the Phantom of the Opera intro made my entire day.
🙀😂
That was the PERFECT ending to an awesome video! I started playing bass after seeing the "Maiden England" VHS tape around 1989 at the age of 15. Of course practically every band has a bass player, but with Iron Maiden, you really hear and see the bass player. Such an inspiration, and I still love listening to Maiden.
Same here !! Maiden England VHS is responsible for me playing the bass ans music too ! I sooooo relate to you man !
Loving this.... I grew up listening to Maiden and he was my first bass influence. My first bass was a 1977 P bass which I soon painted metallic blue in tribute to his.
The final 1 minute and 2 seconds of Seventh Son is probably my favorite piece of music EVER - across any band and any genre of music. The way everything just kicks in at the end of the song is sheer genius. Nicko's triplets, the guitars harmonizing, Steve's tight simple upper register fills and the tensions created by the synths. It's perfection.
After playing music over and over and over again, music ends up being an exercise in technique, yet this outro elicits an emotional response from me every time, whether it's listening to it or playing it. I play it when I need to pump myself up for a heavy lift in the gym. It is a masterpiece in my eyes.
All of Nicko's outro's are just amazing! The "Thin Line between Love and Hate" is my favorite Nicko Coda. You can hear him in the background say "Ah, I fuckin missed it", but you can't hear him make a single mistake!
His mistakes are masterpieces!
"... We're such Troopers, man!" You forever gained my respect with that line! LOL, that was an awesome video, thank you for sharing!
An absolute must for my list would have been Powerslave. In addition to killer riffs, the middle section under the guitar solos is just lovely.
Thank you, great video. Steve Harris was one of the reasons i picked up the bass. He is the goat of metal for me.
Part 2 when? Here are 7 more:
powerslave, losfer words, fear of the dark, death of the celts, running free, the rime of the ancient mariner, the flight of Icarus.
Steve Harris made me realize you could play heavy music with flatwound strings. I was already doing it, and it sounded good to me. But everyone was saying "You have to use roundwounds." The truth is you can still get a clanky or growly tone with the right amp settings, pedals, and hand technique.
BTW, I wonder if "Blood Brother" was inspired by "Orion" by Metallica? It definitely has a similar feel to the famous middle section of that song.
Steve wrote this song for his father who past away same time they was putting that album out. That was first album then Bruce made hes comeback. Been Maiden fan since 82. So i am not very shore about Orion influence… but who knows.
I feel like Sharon so much in this!! I knew a few maiden songs but didn't do a deep dive until some guys invited me to play with them and they LOVE maiden. Very pleased to have done so.
You're welcome: czcams.com/video/G3Jghjh_SC4/video.html
Been following y’all for 3 years and have been waiting for the day Steve Harris is the focus. Hands down the reason why I noticed the bass as a kid. Absolute legend 🙌🏽🤘🏽
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I wish I could like this video multiple times. Good picks on the songs and so enjoyable chemistry between the two of you. Sharon is so charismatic and funny. As a Steve Harris disciple and a fan of Iron Maiden, I loved this a few things I wish you talked about are Steves use of power chords and double stops. It is often a thing that goes unnoticed. Also very important to mention, the Rotosounds flats he uses are very bright, quite heavy (50-110 gauge) and Super high tension. This actually allows for super low action which provided with a relatively light touch is easy to get the CLANK! Also, Iron Maiden has been around for 45 years! No wonder there was so much contradicting information. Over the years things have developed, evolved and changed. Interestingly, when it comes to sound I see a weird parallel/common thread between Iron Maiden and Rush, especially in terms of sound engineering/production. It is no secret Steve Harris is a big Rush Fan and that both Bands have worked in extensively with producer Kevin Shirley
Glad you liked it dude! 🤘🏻
Steve and Geezer are the reasons i picked up the bass. The tones that they were able to make absolutely blow me away.
THE video that almost all SBL subscribers have been waited for!
THANK YOU! A huge thank you from the younger part of me, the 18yrs old me, who started playing with the intention to play "The Number of the Beast" entirely.
Thanks for joining us for the video dude! 🤘🏻
@@devinebass thanks to you for all the gorgeous stuff you gave us among all these years and also all that you're still doing and will do.
Well done! That was a fun ride. Harris is legend. I can only do the 3 finger gallop.
Thanks for making this video folks. You've made a great job! I think that many YT bass channels work on the assumption that everyone with a bass is mainly interested in learning about soul and funk. As a bass teacher for 20+ years, I can honestly say that I've never found this to be true. Steve Harris is one of the "elephants in the room" as far as YT bass channels go, and is a source of much inspiration to millions of bassists.
Steve Harris is the reason I picked up the bass guitar in the first place! That galloping triple is ironic!
Loved this!! As always, you guys are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN!! I was smiling all the way through!!
I don't play bass, but you both made this so fun to watch. Love the duel at the end.
TONE, aggressive approach and technique, and the bulk of the songwriting. All points of underrating Steve Harris. Plus, by all accounts, a really classy, nice guy.
Steve Harris is the man who, when i was 14, made me want to be a bassplayer. Trough the years i've heard and enjoy playing diferent stiles of music but, as far as i concern, at the top of my 52 years old now, he is, by far, one of the most influential bassplayers of my life!!!! CARRY ON STEVE!!!
This series has been amazing, but this has to be the high point. Sharon choosing Blood Brothers brought a tear to my eye. The interplay between Ian and Sharon is both informative and entertaining (as always). Having notation to relearn songs I learned by ear from a CD that did not have fast forward or rewind (just skip ahead, or skip back) is priceless. Thank you all so much for this amazing video!!!
Thank you so much!! 😭 This video was GENUINELY life changing to make. From not really knowing Maiden to wholeheartedly enjoying them musically and as people (based on their Flight 666 Doc). It's been SUCH a satisfying deep-dive! So glad you enjoyed!!
Iron Maiden was my first live concert. I couldn't hear anything for four days. It was awesome.
Four days? Worth it, so worth it.
Saw Maiden a few years ago, and they haven’t lost a step. Incredible show and huge energy. Huge sets!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That's exacty the face I make playing Phantom of the Opera too... it's so relentless but such fun.
This is a fantastic breakdown and love letter to the greatest bassist in metal. Steve Harris is Iron Maiden, he's responsible for soo much of their repertoire and does openly admit that he is not educated formally in music theory. Steve never needed to be, his natural intuition out shines anything he could've been taught in a classroom. The Steve Harris Gallop will forever be one of the greatest bass techniques ever!
Good video. We Maidenphiles would agree that the bass lines through the Run to the Hills and Number of the Beast guitar solos are epic…and you left them out of the discussion. I would guess most bassists cannot play these lines with the same ferocity for 2 hours a night. There’s only one Steve Harris. He’s a bass athlete. What are Scott’s picks?
That Trooper jam in the end alone was worth seeing the entire rest of the video
This video is simply awesome, and the end of it put a huge smile on my face!!
There is nothing light about Steve's right hand touch. He hammers his strings.
I gotta say that as a fan of Iron Maiden going back to Killers, it is so great to see them getting the respect they deserve as *musicians* 30-40 years later. Everyone knew they could melt faces, but their skills as musicians, and songwriters always seemed to under-appreciated for the longest time. And I love seeing an Iron Maiden poster on Sharon's wall! Thanks for this!
I could watch Sharon all day. More videos with Sharon, please. Ian and Scott are excellent but Sharon is just too damn good. Love watching Sharon and Ian riff off each other too.
Agreed - more Sharon!!
Thank you for doing this video!! Phantom of the Opera was the first song I learned from Maiden.
I have been trying to learn how to play bass guitar and in my journey I have found a respect for Iron Maiden that I did not have growing up. Now I can't get enough of the way Steve Harris plays the bass.
I learned my bass chops playing Iron Maiden covers. I could never nail the sound until I found out he used flats, and I believe that the tone control on his bass isn't even wired up, it's fully bypassed.
I could watch Ian all day, and occasionally I have lol. His lessons on SBL where he talks about his session work are utterly amazing.
You're right about the tone control. If I remember correctly, he mentioned in an interview with one of the guitar or bass magazines that he had it disconnected, because when the would hold his bass out over the crowd, in some smaller venues they had played in, excited fans would of course, want to reach out and touch it. Someone would always turn the volume and tone knobs, and he kept wondering where his top-end frequencies had gone. He eventually figured it out! haha
Steve Harris and Cliff Burton are the main reason for me to picked up the bass. I´ve really enjoyed the video, Ian and Sharon are an explosive duet, you are always contagious!!
Yes dude! Steve & Cliff = 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Steve Harris and Geddy Lee are why I'm a bass player.
What did I just saw…? Well, at the end, I just saw joy, the joy that Steve brings to his playing and that every bassist feels when playing his music, me included of course. Speaking of technique, the gallop obviously, yes he plays starting with the index, so he’s always doing the 1, 1 2 1, 1 2 1 thing, while personally I developed my gallop speed with the alternates version, the one that Sharon uses in the video. And yes, leave the click off and know the song by heart, it’s the only way… 😂 Speaking of songs, two of my all time favourite to play are Hallowed be thy Name and Infinite Dreams, the one that I found top speed with the gallop is Caught Somewhere in Time, which I can play no more with only two fingers and another one difficult to play with no gallop for me is Where Eagles Dare, try them. Cheers to everyone at SBL academy and up the Irons!!!
That bass riffs during the solos of number of the beast followed up with the bass solo itself. Pure bliss to learn how to play them
Love the interaction between the two of you guys. Great job
Thanks for checking out the video!
This was a very fun video to watch, keep up the good work, guys!
I've been playing drums for 40 years and Iron Maiden has always been one of my favorite bands. I just starred playing Bass not long ago and Steve Harris has always been an inspiration along with Billy Sheehan. I've really enjoyed your page helping me teach myself how to play because I have always just picked it up at the band room room and tried doing things by ear that was no where near what was actually played.
Great video and playing and I’m not sure if anyone else said this because I didn’t scroll through all the comments but Phantom Of The Opera was on the first Iron Maiden album which was released in 1980.
My all time favorite Maiden song is “seventh son of a seventh son” just soo cool! The breakdown gets me every time, that Album and I’ll get crap for this I know but “X Factor” are my two favorite albums, Blaze Bailey was a sik singer and Steve’s lyrics are so deep on that album, and he will go from acoustic bass to electric bass all in one song! “Blood Brothers” is my favorite song from Brave new world for sure!! “blood on the worlds hands” from X Factor is such a killer song!! That bass solo in the intro is so bad ass!!! Steve’s thumb is behind his index and his fingers are always straight out, probably because of how low he plays, it’s definitely not a pick
I'm not a fan of Blaze's voice, but the music and lyrics on that album are nothing to sneeze at. Seventh Son is an incredible song and album!
@@adameden8722 I can respect that, I really enjoy what he did while Bruce was gone, maybe they could have got a singer to hit notes like Bruce, but I’m really happy the way the two albums came out that he did, they were there for me as a teen, 7th son is a sik song and album!
I was 15 when I got in to maiden and seventh son was the track that did it , I’m still a big fan 34 years later
The final 1 minute and 2 seconds of Seventh Son is probably my favorite piece of music EVER - across any band and any genre of music. The way everything just kicks in at the end of the song is sheer genius. Nicko's triplets, the guitars harmonizing, Steve's tight simple upper register fills and the tensions created by the synths. It's perfection.
After playing music over and over and over again, music ends up being an exercise in technique, yet this outro elicits an emotional response from me every time, whether it's listening to it or playing it. I play it when I need to pump myself up for a heavy lift in the gym. It is a masterpiece in my eyes.
@@habsfan7521 perfectly said brother!!
Brilliant video, it's great how many styles you guys research and have a common respect for. Great Channel
When you guys are discussing the gallop...as a 17-year old kid, my favorite bass players were Steve, Geddy and Cliff Burton. All finger-style players. And later, Billy Sheehan. We did "The Trooper" in my first band (17-years old, Gibson SG bass). My right hand got so strong playing that song because I was using my index, middle and ring fingers to do the triplets. If you were ever a nervous kid, you would do that kind of thing on a desk until someone slapped you. Turns out, getting that rhythm down as an anxious kid help me to master that galloping.
Great take on The Trooper at the end. I loved it. That was A-MAZING !
I learned to play bass by learning "The Number of The Beast" album , front to back. I still get hand cramps thinking about "22 Acacia Ave" !! From there , I overlapped learning anything I could by Rush....
Dang. You were intent 😂 👍🏽
Loved Sharon's version of Phantom of the Opera so much 😊
Thank youu 🥰🥰🥰
Same
I play drums and guitar and this channel really makes me wanna learn to play bass. This was soooo much fun! My head was full of my favorite Maiden tunes! Moonchild, Aces High, Flight of Icarus, Aisle of Avalon, Wicker Man, Somewhere in Time, Invader...HOLY SHIT!
Thanks to both of you!
That is..... really.... a great video ! Thanks you! Steve Harris is the one who taught me (even though he doesn't know about it) to play bass. On the day I purchased my 1st bass, on my way back home, I purchased a book with scores of 5 Iron Maiden songs (without tabs). I didn't know about music theory. These songs included notably Running free and Phantom of the opera. I started to learn about reading music by comparing the scores to what I heard with the shitty tape player I had at that time. I had no money for an amp, so I played unplugged for two years with my low price electric bass, learning to play through Iron Maiden songs. Looking back to that time, it was quite epic. Even if I am listening less to their music now, 30 years later, Iron Maiden and in particular Steve will always mean a lot to me.
there is a Dorian lick in Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" elongated solo part
Great video.
Steve Harris is awesome!
Looks like you guys had a blast recording this.
Wasted Years is the first bass line I set out to learn when I started playing in the 90’s. I love the way it moves against the guitars
As an originator of this request my heartfelt thanks. As opposed to anchoring the thumb he anchors the wrist on the body. This is facilitated by his wearing his bass low.
I'm not even a bass player but this is a great video
That was so much fun to watch you guys are my new bass channel :)
Way to close out a show! That Trooper duet was EPIC!!!!
Brilliant, you two are just great at this stuff, thanks for doing Maiden, I grew up with this lot
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I’m not a huge Iron Maiden fan, I love me some old school metal but Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are more to my liking. That being said, I think Maiden has some great songs and Steve Harris is a monster on the bass!!
This video was a ton of fun and I’d love to see more like this. If you’re looking for suggestions please check out Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper Group. The albums Love It To Death, Killer, Billion Dollar Babies, and School’s Out are classics. Dennis’ playing is outstanding and unique (at least at the time of these recordings). Another bassist to highlight would be Graham Maby, check out his work on Joe Jackson’s Look Sharp album. He’s phenomenal!!!
Awesome video. You two are so much fun to watch. I, like many here I presume, started playing bass because of Steve. Yo guys did a great job of showcasing some of his style. I think the fact that you were not huge Maiden fans originally is part of the reason why the video is so much fun... we can see you being so intrigued. I love the 666 hot take lol. They just like telling ghost stories XD. The ending was SUCH a treat!
Yeeees, I started with bass in 1992 because of mr. Harris!
FINALLY! The best Bass channel talking about the best bass player! The reason Steve Harris sounds like he is playing so aggressively is because his action is really low, so all he has to do is tickle the strings to get that metallic clack, and he uses really thick Rotosound flats.
I'm not a bass player but a Steve Harris admirer. Had so much fun watching this!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
30 minutes of pure enjoyment, loved this video. How about some Cannibal Corpse next time with Alex Webster bass lines
More videos with Sharon! She's awesome!
My first Iron Maiden concert was in 1988 For The Poweslave Tour.
In the track Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the downtempo part when you hear spoken words, the 1-2-3 beats are the best soul turning sound ever…
Someone else pointed out that Steve Harris Doesn't clip down his index and middle fingernails. That's why it has the sound of a pick. If I get tired for a bit, I will use my index finger as a pick.
Waisted Years is my fav too
Great video guys! I’d love to see more metal/hard rock lessons on the SBL site….please! Oh, and Up the Irons!!
You two need to do a part 2 to this video. You guys have great chemistry together. There are so many more great bass lines from Steve Harris. Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Seventh Son of the Seventh Son, Killers, The Clansman, and Tailgunner are just to name a few. Great video.
The Rime is so much fun to play but definitely playing along with a live video makes it moe better.
Yes dude! Thanks for letting us know your suggestions, definitely feels like a part 2 might be necessary!
That's right. I have met quite a few few snobbish bass players that underestimate Steve Harris, but then proceed to realize that fingerpicking 8th notes, triplets and 16th notes for 6 minutes at high tempos needs quite a bit of stamina to achieve. Iron Maiden was the first band I ever played songs when learning the bass (and yes, I played the F# on the Waster Years chorus) and there are several lessons to be had from the way Steve Harris builds his lines. Other than that Adrian Smith's solos are almost always amazing. He's like a cross between a melodic classical player and a bluesman, and it just fits.
It doesn't get a lot of credit, but two minutes to midnight has an incredible bassline.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! You and Sharon should do the same video of GEDDY LEE that would be awesome 👌
I am regressing to my teenage years in the 90s trying to figure these lines on my own and having no one to talk about how awesome this all is. This content is gold.
I’ve been a fan for 40 years.
It’s always a good day when someone new is introduced to Maiden. 😊
Up the Irons!!!
So when is part 2 ;) my favourite is The Clairvoyant. 7th Son is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Look, steve Harris is a bass guitar God He has one of the fastest right hands on the planet.
When I heard Phantom of the Opera from 1998 I was like hold your horses, that's first album material, and then I realized she was talking about the recording she learned it from. That is a fantastic bass line. Charlotte the Harlot from that album also has a great bass line.
>>so, Right. Iron Maiden LP #1 - 1980. Nice video as well.
Yall really had me thinking The Trooper wouldn’t be in this video. Glad I watched till the end
We couldn't miss it! 🤘🏻
I'd love to see you guys do this for John Myung of Dream Theatre. Guy has some legendary lines
I would love to see a video about Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne)
If they only had youtube when i was a kid learning to play! Playing an LP over and over and over...thinking "I wish I could see how he is doing that" and looking for chart books in the music stores were never for Maiden. Nice video btw 🤘
This was honestly just fun to watch. Great work...love it.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have been a Harrisman since about 1988. Loved this video! Btw, Ghost has done a fantastic cover of Phantom of the Opera…check it out 😮👍🏼
I still have to find a cooler heavy metal bass intro than the one from "Phantom of the opera"
Brilliant video. spent 7 weeks supporting them on the X-Factour around Europe. Great band and crew as well. Lots of chats with Mike Kenney his tech (at the time), saw his rig, flat wound basses etc. Just seen them in my home city of Leeds UK too - the magic never dies.
This video captures so much of why I love playing Iron Maiden on my bass. It's just so much fun to play those bass lines, with all the galloping around; it's a viscerally pleasurable thing to play most of their songs, even if I can't come close to Steve's ability
