[dasheet111]

[thedrummerboy224]

@dasheet111 Steve Harris IS a SICK bassist!!!



[careypricefan11]

@dasheet111 He still plays this song perfectly in 2011...amazing cover dude rock on \m/

[MrBassmasta123]

where's the slide down? that's the coolest part!!!!!

[WiiGamerof1995]

how did you not get tendonitice i tried to play it and pulled a muscle in my index finger

[Fran666]

@WiiGamerof1995

Practice the song at a slower speed and the go increasing it day by day.

It may take weeks, and even months to get a good speed with good timing

[metalfool4295]

up the irons man!

[Milanman1096]

song in the background is from Live After Death album from 1985

[Ratdogcat1]

How long did you play before you could play ''gallopin''?

[Fran666]

I'm not sure about that... I started playing bass about 2 years before being interested in galloping. Maybe it was 2 years more of practicing to be able to play this song...

[KilledCZ]

Heeeey you are goood :)

[Egrockar]

On my youtube page :D

[Egrockar]

Hi, is it ok if i download this good cover?

Plz, thats so cool so i want to load up it on my page...

[Bodomterror696969]

[bluekid53]

[Fran666]

I'm playing the live version from "Live after death".

Yes, the speed is different from the album version...faster, and funnier... :)

[Egrockar]

and i love extream sports:P

[Egrockar]

[Fran666]

:D great!

Say hello to your brother and thanks!

You two are nice guys! ;)

[jake92195]

sounds awesome man... and i LOVE your P-Bass. Keep rockin.

[Fran666]

Thanks friend!! :)

I'm very happy with the bass, looks great and souns even better!!

[Egrockar]

nice man!!! i play crazy train at guitar but i stuck at first ref, thats a fast solo in the centre of ref. :/

[Fran666]

Keep on practicing and you'll get it soon, sure! :D

[sinctyle1]

nice job, im starting putting vids up on youtube now .. check my bass cover out if you want... tell me what u think, if its good ill put more up ... :) lol

[n00bzZy]

Yeah this isn't a solo, just an awesome bass line.

[operaphantom8]

exactly

[operaphantom8]

veery goood work! this is my option and its clear for me, steve harris have ever NOT a bass solo in his songs , bass intros, bass riffs, yeah but bass solos....? NO its my option, so i hate when peapoles calls it a bass solo.... XD my option. again, MY OPTiON , great cover again!

[Fran666]

That's right!

And that's why I quoted "bass solo"... :D

UP THE IRONS!!

[Christinakayrob]

You are doing great here! Steve Harris and his two fingers too have that plucking sound. Great Job!

Rob

[Fran666]

Gracias!

It's been done what it's been possible to do...

And always trying to improve too...

up the irons!!

[IronBassMaiden]

Some of the notes on the bass solo are wrong, or maybe thats how Steve plays it live. Plus You can use different fingerings for the part during the guitar solo. Use the D string instead of the A string for the first three notes.

[Egrockar]

i dont like maiden soo mutch bur you ar soo fucking sick!!!!!! thets the best cover att maidens run to the hills on cover ever!!!!

[Fran666]

xDDDDDD

So that sounds like an objective comment!

Thank you very much!!

I am flattered by your comment... :)

[PKMLshow]

i love that precision

[Fran666]

Thanks... i was not sure about the color, but it's more beautiful when you've got it in your hands than in the catalogue...

UP THE IRONS!!

[r0m3r12]

nice one dude in this song theres not bass solo :P is just the bassline

[Fran666]

that's why I quoted it...

There are many references in internet to that part as "bass solo"... i just named it the same way :)

Any way... Thanks for your comment!! :D

[r0m3r12]

yeah thats truth! nicee fucking cover!

[revan210]

I used to be only able to play with a pick but now Im pretty good so anyone who thinks they cant use their fingers, just keep practising and you should adapt :)

[guitarplayer630]

weird my sister wants to selll her bass and its a fender precission and its green

[dadikiuz]

Hmm... what is the fun thing with bass? :)

[ATY9Productions]

I have to get used to using my fingers while playing bass... I am just starting and I can almost do triplets like this song... nice job man

[metalwasp]

awesome dude:D especially 0:51 and forward im a bassist to but i could never play that fast with fingers i use a pick but awesome

[Fran666]

It's ok if you play with a pick and you enjoy it... that's the most important thing!!

Anyway, if you keep on trying and practicing and improving, you'll be able to do that!! I'm sure! :D

[fanofthemusic1090]

Very nice Steve Harris style playing: you're playing with your wrist against the body and your thumb above the strings. I could never quite master Mr. Harris's right hand technique. Keep doing what you're doing. You kick ass.

[Fran666]

Thanks for apreciating that, my friend. And never stop trying. it's just a matter of practice...

Thanks again!! :D

[Heliodromus19]

Daaamn, I want a fender precison too, so I could make that sqeeky sound (or whatever u call it, I'm not English)

[Fran666]

Hi! you don't need a Fender precission to do that, it depends more on the way you play, not the instrument ;)

[00ELIut00]

ne pos tokapdre y pos nececita aprender mas

ejejej

x)

[Heliodromus19]

Yeah, now my fingers are stronger and I hit the strings harder, so the string hits the frets...but still, I can't compare the Stagg sound to the sweet sound of Fender....

[KronicDemon442]

Wow this is remarkable. How long have u been playing becuase that is very good

[rmonfardini]

Dont you her four notes at the intro ??? The bass play with the drums !!! Think about it !!!

Good job !!!

See my video Run to the hills !!!

I Like you playing with only 2 fingers !!!

Up the Irons !!!!

[SumRock27]

you are awesome. i just can't get over how fast your fingers are going. thats crazy!

[Fran666]

xDDD

Thanks! But there are faster songs from maiden that I still can't play correctly... still trying to get'em!

[metal666valley]

very good job man 5 stars

[ralfisloved]

i have a question. When i play RTTH in the galloping part (55555555555) my strings sort of touch the frets and you can hear the strings bouncing off of them. Is that sopposed to by like that?

[Fran666]

Well... it depends of your playing style, the height of your strings and if you like how it sounds.

I play like that... hitting hard the strings so they "clanck" with the frets... That's how steve harris plays and so many other bass players. I like how it sounds, so I don't put the strings higher or hit them softer... that depends of you ^_^

[ralfisloved]

okay because i don't really mind that but i just wanted to know if it is normal. thanks again

[ibanez33150]

wow very good bassist! very clean!

[Special0Kay]

Dude very nice was pritty epic =D

though i kinda found you were coming in to early at the start =/ sept from that amzing due =]

[operaphantom8]

nice galopping!! im only 13 but.. i next to lear galopping ! i can many songs to do it but.. not all! have it good!

[bassownz]

wow, this is the live version and its faster.

STILL using only 2 fingers? wonder if ill ever be able to do that.

[RandhyRoads]

groso:)

[spartan051b]

that realy seemd like a sped up verison.

[lastwords1992]

Nice, how long have you been playing?

[Fran666]

Thanks! By that time...5 or 6 years...

[julidrox85]

tio sunea y tocas de la encabronada madre,pero dale mas fiiling y movimiento a la cancion, en pocas palabras muevete o has algo ps no estes estatico, yo tra vez tocas de la PTM....

[teebban]

nice but need more feeling

[basssockpuppet872]

you know wear i can get some desent tabs?

[ReaperOfMen]

just because your wearing a maiden shirt gives you a 5 star (but your playing was good too :)

[Fran666]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Thanks a lot! that was fun... xDDDDDDD

[cyrax1337]

is that a squier modified jazz bass?

[Fran666]

Nope. It's an original Fender Precission american model. ;)

[mexicansaw]

Se ve que se te dificulta esta cancion para mi opinion personal te sale bastante bien (aparte de que te tengo envidia por poder tocar con dedos ya que yo no puedo hacerlo muy bien) y en general tus covers son muy buenos!!!

Saludos desde mexico!!

[Fran666]

Si que me resulta dificil, si... mantener esa velocidad cuesta bastante. Gracias por el comentario. Vi alguno de tus videos, estan muy bien!! SI te decides a tocar con los dedos ya sabes...practicar practicar i practicar!! :D que la mano izquierda ya la tienes bien suelta. :)

[vipfan]

bass is really gay

[Avon07734]

I enjoy this video =) it makes me really horny!! O

[meta1dude]

now i feel bad

just play with more feeling man

good luck

[meta1dude]

go fuck yourself i just watched it again

and it still sucks

dont kill yourself

cut your fingers off you fuck

gimmie your bass

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[meta1dude]

more feeling

o btw

kill yourself

[xmod85]

bit fast but good

[jatedhews]

dude you suck so bad you need to learn to keep some rythm fucking loser

[114356345]

dude thats pretty tight. is it hard?

[ttttttt]

bass is gay

[VHOBSESSED78]

Says the person with the flamboyant pink YouTube channel who watches anime and listens to Dir En Gray.

[mexicansaw]

what do you have against dir en grey and anime? ¬¬

[114356345]

why? just curious.

[BNDXKing]

it sounds like the strings are hitting the pickups

[EndosV2]

i cant play this with 2 fingers =x too fast for me

[T3hFly1ngCh1mpmunk]

thats amazing dude, you rock

[nick34090]

i couldn't hear the music in the background. nice job tho

[funkinthechili]

Yeah, I should have given you more props for pulling this of with 2 fingers. Good job. And props for taking criticism well. Keep practicing and get that third finger in there. If you can do this with 2, imagine what you can do with 3! And, maybe...4!! It's rare, but it can be done.

[grenade310tri]

awesome 2 fingers work

[funkinthechili]

Overall, you did a good job, but the guys on here have a point. You are rushing the beginning just a touch. But, you are also rushing some of the other parts of the song (the interlude, in particular), as well. Take it down a notch, and it would be great. I heard a couple of mistakes otherwise, but I don't know if they were slip-ups that everyone makes, or if you were just playing wrong. Still, pretty good performance, bro.

[Fran666]

nice comment my friend, i'll take note of it.

[GMessiah777]

nice playing. bad name

[CountingMagpies]

I know lol

[CountingMagpies]

Maiden plays faster live.

[SkeetMX]

Insane. nice work, and done properly with 2 fingers!

[Fran666]

Thanks my friend, i did it the best i could... :D

[gott654]

nice

[nickman708]

hes right ur way to rushing the beginning

[Spamallica13]

No it is the live version

[sakucherrry]

nice..i play bass too:)well, learning how.:)

i have the same tshirtXD

good playing..really good!:):)

[Fortress51]

Good job, but to me it just doesn't really sound the same with 2 fingers, I prefer 3. So, you just keep doing it however you like.

UP THE IRONS

[Prematory1]

Nice work

Nice bass

[JurcExpLoD]

nice P bass :D

[Darrylpowis]

fuck boy... with two fingers...

thats insane.. i never even considered it really, the triplets are so much easier with 3..

well done.

[styleaddixx]

fast fingers dude!!!

[samara842]

muy bueno!!!

[imaguerrero]

[ProGuitarist1951]

[blesito9]

lograste tocar eso con solo dos dedos

aunque siendo dios no he revisado nada

en el dvd en camara lenta por si tocase con

3 dedos

lo hare en todo caso eres genial

[Fran666]

gracias hombre!

Revisa el DVD todas las veces que puedas y quieras, y comprueba que harris toca con dos dedos. Cuando lo tengas comprobado, podras exclamar a los cuatro vientos que si, que Harris siempre toca con dos dedos.

[elmejordetexas]

vos revisa el dvd q viene con el ultimo disco.

fijate un claro gesto de harris simulando tocar el bajo con 3 dedos.

y espero q aparte de q termine esta discusion aprendas a ser mas prolijo con tu cabalgata de 2 dedos :S

[VentiMaiden]

muy bien tio!

somos muchos los alumnos de Harris que cada dia intentamos imitarle.. aunque este hombre es inalcanzable, bueno, es Dios

UP THE IRONS!!

[Fran666]

Amen hermano, amen!!

[Manrod1277]

Muy bien hecho. Felicitaciones. Por mas que no lo haya hecho con tres dedos, como steve harris, sono muy bien.

FELICITACIONES!!!

[elmejordetexas]

desprolija tu mano derecha make with 3 fingers

[Fran666]

ke le haga lo ké a mi mano derecha?!!?

tres dedos para ké? Para ke suene como Dios manda (Steve Harris) hay que tocarlo con DOS deditos.

[elmejordetexas]

es desprolijo con 2 dedos escuchate bien :S

harris usa 3 dedos men no pases verguenza diciendo eso...

no es para q suene como dios manda.. para q suene parejo y todos iguales. la tecnina de 3 dedos es mas prolija.byeee

[Slayerized02]

Acabo de revisar un dvd en camara lenta... Es verdad, Harris usa 3 dedos.

[fmir86]

Joder tio!... que manera de tocar el bajo cabron!... excelente la parte de la "cabalgata"

UP THE IRONS!!

[Fran666]

gracias resalao!!!

ke viva la cabalgata de los reyes magos! (Steve Harris y sus pelotas son los reyes magos... xD )

[MatTheBassist]

[euroboy49]

awsome man...UP THE IRONS

[samwellll3]

all of u base geeks shutit coz i play it on the f+b string i dnt complain

[Fran666]

mmmm... could anyone translate this to standard english, please?

Hablenme en cristiano, hombres de Dios...ke no me entero de ná!

[suzukirider33]

nice! you have the excact same style i do!

[TrOoPeR2012]

what the fuk every one plays the begining on the D and G string

[professornutbutter10]

because THAT's the way it's SUPPOSED to be played, dumbass

[TrOoPeR2012]

fuk you i play it on the E and A string

[TrOoPeR2012]

sounds exactly the same on E and A

[speedstream88]

Not quite, the E and A have a different timbre.

[TrOoPeR2012]

so fucking what

[Fran666]

you are playing an octave lower, same notes, but lower. Not like steve harris.

[hampusvh1]

fuck you, you suck! you ruined the song, dude! i play better than you if i were to fart on those strings!!

[Presoner]

Okay master of the strings, let us see than! Besides, have you ever played a bass?...

[hampusvh1]

wtf? yes i have, like i said, i fart on the strings to make the sound better. check out my profile, its worth more than you are

[Presoner]

I think you should fart to your mouth either, and I didn't see any bass plays on your profile, just piano (what I must admit are really good)But you don't need to say somebody that, "he sucks" or somethin', if you cannot prove that, you are better with the same musical instrument! That's all, I don't have to complain with you.

[hampusvh1]

well, this guy is better than me on base, but still, he could do it a lot better..

[Krust217]

nice job

[cherryheadguitarchic]

my bass looks like that exept mines epiphone and is oler then me (13)

[xxvm1]

only thing missing is long hair! superb playing

[edwinbrooks]

5* :)

[paulocampos5]

nice

[mr2866]

nice work on the chours!!

[wiking3435]

buen cover, pero un poco rapido

[skateungen]

yeah man! it is really cool with bass!

[finkster]

wow you look like you're really bored, like you're just trying to get it over with. you have no soul.

[Opticon87]

hey

suena chido

buen trabajo con los dedos \m/

te salio con madre el cover

[julianramone19]

great cover

[DeathBivouac]

nice job man. you actually have better technique than most vids i've seen... everyone pusses out and goes for the 3-finger-gallop, versus the two-finger that steve actually uses.

[claud122003]

looks like your finger s are scared of the guitar! cool shirt though

[aneurist]

you SUCK !!!! i'm better that

[ele1122]

Hey, I was wondering, do you run a line into your computer and record like that, or does your camera record the sound?

[S3RGINHO]

No entiendo como haces para tocar toda la cancion con dos dedos!!

[tyreon]

How do you do that with only 2 fingers??

Great job! You are good!

[sicmick112]

wow very nice man, that P bass is awesome! Natural/black pickgaurd/maple neck... one of my favourite combos. I really like your vids man... UP THE IRONS \m/! Check out my Iron Maiden powerslave vid.

[Chainedorlo]

Natural + Black Pickguard + Maple Neck own! Best combination in my opinion.

[ikercl]

Pusiste la mano derecha en agua y sal después?

[Fran666]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD... ke bueno...

no, para esta no lo necesité..tal vez para el killers...buen comentario, amigo... xD

[ele1122]

Nice job man. This video helped me learn the song better. I'll probably have a video up sometime (By sometime, I mean in at least 2 weeks :P), so, yeah.

[juankavamo89]

Grat job man. Hey all your speed is in your 2 fingers, I mean, Do you use always 2 fingers (Picking hand)?

[Fran666]

Yes, always 2 fingers ;) !!

[virtualrockband2]

Awesome! Can you please post an mp3 of your bass cover at virtualrockband[dot]com so that other members can cyberjam to it? Thanks!

[cptbierbuik]

man wsih i could gallop like tht where did you learn it ?

[Fran666]

well...It's been years of practicing...Just time, and the will to do it. And I still think I don't do it correctly, so...

[JonasBye123]

Just cause he doesn't play the trooper here it doesn't mean that he don't know how to play it.

[Fran666]

Amen, brother...

[ironmaidenman5]

dude you should learn the trooper me and my band played it at a concert

[MyChemLover41]

Sorry that comment below this is still the same person, my other name

So who agrees with me?

[HellRaiserA7X]

First of all Im a girl, but w/e

dude forget the stupid rap crap and hip hop and shit cause this right heres real music, anybody know that sont WrathChild? Dude Paul Dianno kicks ass but even with Bruce Dickenson still kicks ass too!

Fucking yeah Up the Fucking Irons!!!!

But who agree with me that they're new stuff isn't as good as their old stuff? Like Powerslave or Peace of Mind......

[DMilla0098]

how can u say u like iron maiden, if u have avenged sevenfold and goos charlotte on ur favorites¿?!!....

I'm just confused about that...

[Panda10119]

lol how can you not like Iron Maden, as the guy said before there lyrics are so advanced.

[MyChemLover41]

How the hell cant you like Iron Maiden,

There lyrics are all so advanced! Probably to hard for you to understand dont worry you hav my sympathy

Well screw all people who dont like Iron Maiden

Up the Irons baby!!!!!!
