Could you do other Isolation Bass: Painkiller Ian Hill and Rat Pat blue by Roger Clover???🙏🙏🙏

Wow man you got that sound and style down! Very nice!!

Just proves that he's human even if he is incredibly skilled.

Exactly!!!

Those imperfections aren't actually imperfections, they are part of Steve's playing style which of course is made to sound messy in order to be heard along with everything else. Up The Irons!!!(this is coming from a bass player)

It's fascinating to listen to the genuine article that I grew up with.

Imperfections? Damn, this means I truly am a musicals handicap, to me it sounds amazing and perfect!

Самоучка? 😂😂😂 он закончил музыкальное училище по бас гитаре

hey Robbie! around the same time for me, drums. I started w/ WHO tunes around '80' some pop rock (the Knack, Foreigner cheap trick early on in late '70's). but once I discovered Maiden, well, you know. you start a Maiden tribute band call me, haha.

@@dgodrummer8110 It lead me to make my family the Band. My Brother and my Nephews. We are Half Dead. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbaleNCYkrfFZWQ.html

Yes because these are probably generally recorded in just one go and so those little mistakes can be heard, and because they're so small they actually become the spice that makes it sound alive. Now imagine a "modern" studio tech "fixing" all the notes in pro tools to hit at the same time and cut away all the dynamics as they do today, and you'll lose all the live feel from it and could just as easily have built the song from a bunch of boring samples. No human players needed, if you mix them, move them and tune them into a "modern" blob of sound.

The bass is too physical to get it perfect on a precision with heavy gauge strings. Unless maybe you are some guy like Marcus Miller. But Jazz Bass is definitely easier.

@@Inductus Probably not at one go, but they spent quite a little time in the studio, the album is usually recorded in around six weeks.

@@emankcin1701 'one go' meaning that the track is recorded live straight thru as a single take. Not necessarily the 1st take.

@@EugeneMarshall Nicko said that Steve , since he produce, sometime asked them to do some little overdubs.

agreed! I'd love to hear a Maiden tune after having each track digitally quantized. Compare the feel difference. That would be telling. Now take RUSH, I'd bet those tracks aren't quite as "sloppy" as a Maiden track. Does it make it better? not to me, just different. Very different. I love both feels/sounds/bands. and the many feels/sounds/bands that are in between or just as varied. I went thru metal, into fusion/funk, jazz/latin, studied drumming hard during the whole Dave Weckl era in late '80's early '90's. I studied Dave Garibaldi's TOP grooves. But also got way into Bill Berg's drumming with Flim and the BB's. Raw, recorded mistakes, driving. I once blew a new drum teacher's mind when I told him Bill Berg was a big influence of mine. He had grown up seeing Bill play live in the Lawrence KS area. Flim wasn't a big name band, and most folks never heard of Bill Berg. Years later when playing instrument al funk/jazz with younger players that grew up with Nirvana and the grunge sound, go figure, they told my feel was too tight and accurate. They wanted me to "sloppy up" my feel. This was when Medeski, Martin & Wood was on the scene. I listened to that drumming style and it made me ill at first. Then later I became accustomed to hearing the sloppy drumming sound. Most poignant thing I learned in music school is "no technique is better or worse, techniques are simply applied to create a different sound on one's instrument."

This is how real people actually play. Kudos for then not over cleaning this.

Try play it on a Fender Precision with Heavy Flats, I can confirm it's difficult to even reach such precision and that little mistakes.

in those days, they didnt have computers like today, and it was mainly up to the sound engineer to mix everything, mistakes were made, nothing you can fix in the mix.

@@johnsams1388 playing in a band fixes it, you can't hear that with the whole band.

Amazing how little respect you people have for Steve Harris’s abilities to think this mess is actually him.

Indeed Susanne!

I actually think hes better than Cliff Burton, Burton will always be in the top 10 best bassists to ever lived, but he is so overrated in my opinion.

@@DannyBoi2112 the thing is that Harris is a beast at leading the music with the bass. He really drives it. In Metallica it's more James Hetfield the engine.

@@DannyBoi2112 I disagree , try playing Fight Fire with Fire on bass and suffer hell..

@@DannyBoi2112 I’m on the “disagree” side as well. Aside from the innovative stuff he was pioneering with the use of effects, and soloing, A whole lot of what he was actually doing can’t really be heard on the studio albums. When you start diving into listening to isolated bass tracks is when you really start going “WOW!”

Agree. Also Chris Squire.

That part's a motherfucker!!!

i think the same men, best bassline of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree with you ! even there are other great Steve Harris bass lines like Powerslave, To Tame a Land, Deja Vu, Seventh son ...

Probably the most difficult of his basslines, I agree... But, as a fan of Steve since I was a teen (now almost 51 🙄), I really cannot choose a favorite bassline! There are so many... And all of them are in the 80's albums (albums that are all masterpieces, from the self titled first album to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 😄), because later he changed his style partially and he has become more simple. With all due respect, I much prefer his old style, with all those little solos in the end of 2 Minutes to Midnight, or in Another Life, or in Prodigal Son and in Strange World, or in the slow part of Stranger in a Strange Land. And the bass intros like in Wrathchild, Innocent Exile, Killers, The Clairvoyant... The bassline in Powerslave, especially when the song slows down... Charlotte The Harlot... Invaders... I must stop now 😆 or I will name a lot more titles! Of course, he is still good... But I appreciate much more his work on those old albums. Greetings from Italy!

Up the irons!

i started playing bass with iron maiden :D i eventually got good after years but it's so hard to keep up songs after songs replicating a concert

Absolutely. It's sloppy and awkward as hell 😅 But when you mix it up with the rest of the band it sounds perfect!

That's true. You really can feel the drums. Weird that. I don't get that from many isolated bass recordings. Shows how well they coordinated, even at this early stage.

Steve is the name of the greatest but not Harris.

@@nigeobm4595 who

@@joesmith4045 Steve Di Giorgio

100% true!

@@nigeobm4595 not really

Thats his original bass tracks my friend, fuking enjoy 😉❤️

@@ChauzyGuitarMX I'd love to hear the isolated bass for wrathchild maybe they never released it

@@JJ_5289 they probably lost the master tracks because Wratchild is on some guitar hero, but it's a cover, not the original.

part of his distinct sound is = Treble set mid to high ... middle eq's set high , and bass set to high. Compression lot and lots of compression. the compression reduces the shrill-ness of the fret clanking (that is shit is real shrill with out it). that said he also uses high gain pick -up in his bass seymor duncan Sp-3's and 4's are suitable pick ups for getting this sound they also make signature pick ups for him that are outfited on his signature fender basses. if you got a cheap squire bass sure go ahead and throw some on it , if you got a 500-1500 dollar fender bass though DON'T it will greatly devalue you bass to change any hardware on it. something to consider for if you ever plan on passing your bass on as a valued colectible or plan on resaling it when it hits vintage age of 25 years . If you don't care go for broke on it though US fenders come with pretty damn good pickups already. if you do change hardware on your bass , make sure to keep the original hardware cared for not just tossed to the side or out as you can keep the value up if you also have the original hardware to hand over with the bass as well. one exception , Leo Quan Bridges will up the value of the bass as those bridges are not manufactured any more are are geting rarer and rarer all the time. I put a Leo Quan Bad Ass III bridge on my 1995 us fender (had to be a BAIII and not II , because the 3 has string through body like the 1995 us fenders had)

@@DenverStarkey or be like me , use seymour duncan SPB-1 and keep the original ones in a box for when you wanna sell it someday , or never..

the mistakes are good because i can play like him lol

You enjoyed?

this can be interpreted in 2 different ways

@@josephkony3993 That's the intent.

what were the points you were missing?

Gracias a ti amigo! Un abrazo.

same for me, I train playing albums from start to finish

I just realized last night there is a Stats menu for Rocksmith 2014....most played song: Aces High. Most played band: Iron Maiden. Up the irons!

Yes, I totally agree with you! It has been the same for me since I started with bass, 35 years ago. There are albums that I learned from start to finish and I enjoy to play those songs still to this day. Mostly old albums! Steve's basslines, as Geddy's and Geezer's... I will never be tired of them! 😆 Greetings from Italy!

Only Steve can play them like Steve!

There is no effect tool to extract bass unfortunately. The tracks comes from various guitar video games. They got the master tracks to do this games.

Never invented it but he is certainly most famous for it.

And no, I couldn't play Piece of Mind with a single bass pedal, needed two, I'm not that good.

Too bad that there are no isolated tracks from their second album, Killers. Steve's bass tone on that album is one of my favorites; it really stands out in the intros of some songs and the basslines too are great. He really was busy in songs like Prodigal Son and Another Life. Greetings from Italy

@@sergiodambrosio363 go listen to the bootleg of england tames 1982 .. you can definitively copy the songs , also the maiden england (1988) bass + vocals only , the "killers" version is out of this world
