[RickyMcFate]

Davvero non capisco quegli imbecilli che si divertono a cliccare sul pollice verso... Sono solo degli stupidi invidiosi

[jericho667]

@RickyMcFate bah, facciano pure, non me ne frega niente ;)

[spc1989]

666 likes...its too great¡¡¡

[PrimalQyon]

Shit man! Great work!

[yrayyy83]

il pick guard a specchio è veramente spettacolare, si vedono le foto appese in casa riflesse..per il resto niente da dire, gran tocco..;)

[jericho667]

@yrayyy83 haha, sono le foto dello studio - sto aprendo un'attività come fotografo - però alcune sono effettivamente mie :)

grazie del commento! XD

[Styxblaze]

Greatly played!

I'm thinking of taking up the bass myself and would like some advice.Is it so hard to play with 3 fingers ?

[jericho667]

@Styxblaze well, yes. the progression is pick<thumb<2 fingers<3 fingers (...<4 fingers, if you like victor wooten ^^). it's fun anyway :D

thanks for watching!

[Styxblaze]

@jericho667 I see.How long have you been playing ?

[jericho667]

@Styxblaze with commitment, since 2005 - before 2005 I played a little, just to impress a girl, but I never went past greenday. until I met Maiden :)

[Styxblaze]

@jericho667 Hahaha :).Thing is,i'm torn between learning more on the guitar(i can play a thing or two) and taking up the bass.

[HnorHell]

@Styxblaze I started off with two fingers. It's not that hard.

[NovaVim]

Steve Hariss < Mic Todd.

Nuff said.

[blenfor]

i wish to play like you! great video!!!! :)

[roykato86]

@jericho667 grandioso, sembra che sfiori soltanto le corde ma esce ugualmente un suono super! ...o è una mia impressione?

[jericho667]

@roykato86 che il suono sia super o che io sfiori appena le corde? :p

[roykato86]

@jericho667 ovviamente la seconda! il suono è super pure per i sordi!

[jericho667]

@roykato86 haha, sì in effetti qui ci andavo delicato - son due suoni differenti, se senti l'ultimo video che ho fatto quello suona molto più alla harris, questo gli sogmigliava solo :)

[roykato86]

@jericho667 visto e riconfermo ciò che pensavo. sei una bestia! complimenti! ;)

[jericho667]

@roykato86 grazie! a breve pubblicheremo qualcosa di più moderno e difficile, ne riparleremo XD

[riff88m]

sei grande, se ti vede Steve Harris . . applaudirebbe di sicuro !

[daffri1]

Dude you are awesome , do you use 2 or 3 fingers?

[jericho667]

@daffri1 I don't remember, for maiden usually 2 ^^

[MrHorrorble]

GREAT! My all time favorite Maiden tune & the one that inspired me to pick up bass at 13/14 yrs old. Remember "Live + One" ? That did it for me. You did a fantastic job & light years better than me. We didn't have the tab back in 1981/82. I thought I was getting all the notes, but after watching/hearing your cover.......lol!! Let's just say you're awesome & leave it at that.

[jericho667]

@MrHorrorble thanks man! yeah, I know the record, great live! btw, I don't use tabs ^_^

[1965Richie]

@Jericho667 I guess you're using heavy guage flats. How hard are they to fret compared to to say medium guage rounds?

[jericho667]

@1965Richie they're very tough and dull, I don't like them particularly, I only use them fot covering maiden (and only on this bass, my white one has DR strings high beams, realy more effective stuff!)

[TheDjbixo]

I need THE LYRICS NOW!and another thing....This The Best shit What i listen in all the day nice job dude

[henriqueferreira2009]

Is a illusion of mine or did u use three finger sometimes?

[jericho667]

@henriqueferreira2009 could be, I don't remember... ^^

[henriqueferreira2009]

@jericho667 But, u try to play as Harris? Because i think he only use 2 fingers, though looks like 3 sometimes too...

[jericho667]

@henriqueferreira2009 usually I don't mind, as well as I can "sound" similar to him I don't care if I don't "look" similar :)

[henriqueferreira2009]

@jericho667 You're right, and probably when i buy my bass i will come to your channel for help haha

[jericho667]

@henriqueferreira2009 let me know what you're going to buy :)

[henriqueferreira2009]

@jericho667 sure, as it became possibly for me rrsrsrs

[hanzoraqib]

omg that's darn good... do you have tabs for this?

[jericho667]

@hanzoraqib yes, but only in my head, nothing written :)

[hanzoraqib]

@jericho667 oh damn... could you do me a favour by typing it down ?? other bass tabs website r kinda irrelevant, especially this song lol

[jvllds]

well man,i always had listened this song, and i think ii had never seen a cover like yours, CONGRATULATIONs!!

[edoele69]

ci sono 11 persone che non ci sentono!!!

[jericho667]

@edoele69 eee, amplifon costa ;)

[Theshiggityshwa]

Watching your videos make me want to relearn my finger picking.

[jericho667]

@Theshiggityshwa then you made my day :)

[guibillgreat]

Are you italian? Nice cover, really. One of the best i've ever heard.Steve Harris would be seriously proud to hear you play ;)

[floydrazor]

[eddy1154]

[Spacedraptor]

[5298lx]

Forget ac/dc.....is so comercial & repetitive !

[5298lx]

What is that in your wrist, pulse ??!!

[jericho667]

@5298lx no, AC/DC :)

[5298lx]

A real Maiden fan ! NO DOUBT !

[zly81]

As me and my mate have no bassist we gladly use your covers for bassline, hope you dont mind ;] Sound is absolutely outstanding

[jericho667]

@zly81 it's a pleasure to hear that! thank you both of you :)

[RockerTappy]

If steve harris is a god, you're a messiah my friend ;)

[angelsbass]

why your bass sounds almost sooo perfect????

[jericho667]

@angelsbass probably luck ;)

[angelsbass]

@jericho667 no bassist too!!

[angelsbass]

@angelsbass but of course my cheap yamaha rbx-170 cant play this song so well!!!:-)

[KowiKk25]

YEAH! Live after Death!

[Sziferuczek]

Uou! You're pretty good :) This movie is good, couse I can see all bass on it. If someone want to learn that song, he can learn it from that film :) I thinks I will try to learn that on bass. I already know how to play it on guitar. I think it will be easy :) Very good cover, thumb up, and dont stop making new films :)

[jericho667]

@Sziferuczek thanks dude! I won't :)

[xIGabrieLIx]

fucking great !

[daffri1]

Congrats dude! One of the best bassists on youtube :D

[midnightoilers]

youre soo good!!!

[mcduds1]

3:32 that's the part that separates steve from real humans

[metalplague89]

finally! a good sounding bass cover!

[Rxking3210]

great cover man... u r the 2nd guy that can play this song as close as steve. both in the technique n the sound...the other guy wouldbe the japanese guy hyotto something i can;t remember... hopefully u can cover more songs from maiden. new songs perhaps. simple songs like coming home or maybe alchemist. i would love to see u do stranger in a strange land by the way... up the irons from south east asia..

[jericho667]

@Rxking3210 I'd like to try some of those as well, maybe one day :)

[losshack]

Sweet!

[KISSvevo2]

ohhhhh men teach me!!

[jericho667]

@KISSvevo2 you're not close enough, I cannot teach via web ^^

[KISSvevo2]

@jericho667 i know it men but good luck :D

[orison17]

even though i am a guitar player and i actually whatched this to show it to a friend od mine who plays the bass i really loved it. grats man keep rockin!

[jersonthrash]

Where do you get the tabs for this song?¿

[jericho667]

@jersonthrash I don't use tabs

[LuigiMansilla]

Love your bass!

[SpearShark]

can you play bass as fast as Billy Sheehan?

[jericho667]

@SpearShark not yet ;)

[mDevasto]

sei italiano?

[jericho667]

@mDevasto sono scozzese, ma vivo in italia :)

[mDevasto]

@jericho667 Wow, thanks for reply ^^ 

[Zip2461996]

99% Steve Harris. The 1% is out because you're not called like that.

[malleficus11]

i watch this video still again and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again..... fuckin' awesome.. you're my god

[jericho667]

@malleficus11 aha XD up the irons my friend!

[baldokin]

the best ..... muito bom mesmo o cara é FODA

[AlexNexT94]

your fingers.... burn!!!! man nice..

[Sanson101]

very nice job..thanks for uploading...it is known that Harris favors a very low action on his basses...is it true with you... ??

[jericho667]

@Sanson101 yeah, true, even though not too much, because the hazard is that you will lose all the nice low end and punch if the strings have not enough space to freely vibrate.

[darius9000]

i like it. good job!

[yowie1991]

8 people just listening Biber and just have no balls!

[jericho667]

@yowie1991 haha XD

[cascantediego]

@yowie1991 8 people were killed by The Iron Maiden !

[MauTrece]

Amazing Man!

[malleficus11]

a w e s o m e

[Grahamf52]

How do you achieve steve's sound????? I MUST KNOW :P

[SlyzCooper]

@Grahamf52 Well, it helps a bit when you are using an exact replica of one of his basses ;)

[Grahamf52]

@SlyzCooper Yes but i want to know exactly how to make that sound, it is foolish to think that its just the guitar what about amp settings, technique, etc???

[SlyzCooper]

@Grahamf52 Yeah I know haha I was joking. My bass already gets something similar, so I just turned down my precision knob a lil and put up my jazz knob some. Also, its not quite right, but if you clip your fingernails on the string at the end of each note it sounds a bit closer. Hope I could help :)

[jericho667]

@Grahamf52 just playing harder on the strings :)

[BrendanandAlexshow]

@Grahamf52 Also notice how close he is playing to the bridge. the closer to the bridger the more treble sounding and the closer to the finger board you get a deeper/bassier sound. next time you pull up your bass and try playing in both spots. its much much harder to play this fast while closer to the bridge.

By the way, great cover jericho.

[daffri1]

Your  sound rules dude!

[FrozenSparky]

FUCKING AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[SteveIronmaiden]

you...made my desk shake... damn bro, good job.

[MrGuitarist32]

i have same t-shirt that you have :) and amazing playing :)

[IronskullTube]

Live after Death version

[danceofelecktro]

amazing



[jeresbasso]

do you use steve harris fender p-bass = ? is that good , very good or amazing ?

[jericho667]

@jeresbasso it depends. the look of it is amazing, the sound is very good, the comfort is unsatisfying though – it's my second bass indeed, as a main instrument it's better to have a real usa fender

[filmfinn]

8 guys are tone deaf

[MyFoxstar]

why are you wearing acdc when playing iron maiden? haha

[jericho667]

@MyFoxstar because it's the only one I have :p

[MultiNatester]

Do you have a band?

[jericho667]

@MultiNatester many! see facebook . com / rapidfireitaly

[MultiNatester]

@jericho667 Nice!

[geezereadgbe]

if you can play t phantom of the opera you can play almost anything

[yamkovoy1987]

@jericho667 i have one question, does that bass have a good slapping tone?

[jericho667]

@yamkovoy1987 if you change strings and use standard rounds, it's not bad – but I'll never get tired of saying: for the same price you can get the american standard, so...

[vetty97]

AC/DC wristband FTW!!!!!

[jojollamaluva]

<3 Wheres the LOVE Button!?

[jericho667]

@jojollamaluva we'll have to make it ourselves :)

[852087]

[666999dani]

afination?? .-.

[IWAN3259]

Hey I wanna ask. When you first started playing bass, do you get blisters on your right hand fingers ?

[jericho667]

@IWAN3259 never

[pauua]

@IWAN3259 it depends on softness of your skin,but it is normal when you start.I had blisters on both fingers (I used 3,when I started,then changed my mind,because of the gallop and rhythm).When you get them,you just have to wait for them to get thick,so you don't feel the pain when you play.I accidentaly cut them,so it was painful and I had to wait for about 2 weeks.

[tokorev747777]

@IWAN3259 I have no idea how he did not get blisters. But i did when i started, You just have to work up to get calluses. Give it a month or so and it won't hurt as bad :D

[saosinfan29]

@IWAN3259 yeah i did

[TereAllu98]

loneliness of the long distance runner can you do it

[hecto95]

u suck............beacause you cant do it wrong

great work :D

[rusito1414]

Very nice!!!

UP THE IRONS!

[mellino19]

this is why I'm mad that I don't play the way I used to 3 years ago

[Sk8Byron]

plays only the good die young or rime of the ancient mariner

[jericho667]

@Thrashersxx depends on the song

[xand134]

you play the intro where i used to till i worked out i can play it starting at 9th fret on the A its abit easier with the frets being closer

[jericho667]

@xand134 I used to myself, but this is how steve plays it :)

[xand134]

@jericho667 fair enough mate. it sounds the same ;)

[metalpumpollo]

excelent video buen sonido de ese bajo electrico yeah!! iron maiden! viva el metal

[MsGabrielhm]

what song is the hardest for you?

[jericho667]

@MsGabrielhm I've never thought of that...

[illyas1]

@jericho667 nows a good time lol

[Starcraft2Rogue]

@jericho667 OMG nice cover and nice bass! \m/

[FilipUNIBO]

@jericho667 Caught Somewhere In Time? :P

P.S. Sarebbe un gran GRAN piacere sentire sta cover fatta da te... :)

[jericho667]

@FilipUNIBO già, mi piacerebbe! prima o poi la farò, ma in sto periodo sono preso dal tour :p

[tioJoshi]

esta poderoso felicidades!!!!!

[Alwayshappy74]

Hi, how do you play that fast with your right hand? I place it on the element and I can reach the right speed at the E string. Can you maybe make a tut to show how to play as awesome as you with your right hand? thanks a lot and keep on rocking

[jericho667]

@Alwayshappy74 there is only a way of doing it: doing it - if I made a tut it would be just the same as this: me doing it :)

[lucasthematador2801]

i have the 4 band equalizer, bass, mid low, mid high and treble, how can i set up the eq to sound like this?

[jericho667]

@lucasthematador2801 I should hear how it sounds flat to tell you

[ExtraBassist]

@lucasthematador2801

you probably want: (scale of 1-10, 10 being max, 5 being flat, 1 being nothing)

bass: 6-7

mid-bass: 2

mid-high:4-6

treble: 8-10

hope that helps

[Milos666DECREPANCY]

How much cost that BASS ?????

[jericho667]

@Milos666DECREPANCY too much

[MaidenMax1995]

friend string gauge do you use?

[jericho667]

@MaidenMax1995 45-105 or 50-110
