NME Video: WORLD EXCLUSIVE! Steve Harris speaks!

[CCMrJones]

if I see another comment after mine about fking linkin park im gonna slam my bass guitar into the next juston boober fan i see

[mateosivi]

lol count every time he says YOU KNOW ROFL

[R0bb89]

@mateosivi Blame the americans for that one :D

[rkrokberg]

Maybe God created the world, but Harris created Iron Maiden and that's why he is my true god!

[onthemoveagain]

Right to the point.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@onthemoveagain Glad you have a great like for "IRON MAIDEN"!!!!!!!

[onthemoveagain]

@MrMegaFredzeppelin

It's true I like alot of Bruce Dickinson era tracks like 'Run To The Hills' 'Fear Of The Dark' and probably my fav.'The Wicker Man' but it's all Steve Harris-Iron Maiden is his brainchild and he has the right musicians and singer to bring it to life.I'm hardly an expert on the band but I think I'm calling it right.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

@onthemoveagain You are calling it right. To me Iron Maiden no matter what the lineup through out the years has "ALWAYS HAD THAT SIGNATURE SOUND WHICH IS "IRON MAIDEN" "UP THE IRONS"!!!!!!!

[myrtia]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE HARRIS!!!!!

[MezzoForte08]

he talk as fast as he is playing.

[sweetgyy]

i met him , he's cool 

[skynyrdfan42]

i love linkin paek and all (older songs more than new) but shouldnt it be an iron maiden song playing when maidens bassist is being interviewed? lol

[Notrends]

best bass and has write almost all maiden songs

[Volvo745T]

I wonder why there aren't more quality interviews with Steve Harris - How much longer does he have to be writing/producing/playing music for people to realize his genius?

[haladisch]

HE is why I wanted to learn bass and finally I'm doing that... He's a living legendary legend!!!! :p

[junnybungle]

WTF is voldermort doin in the backround? LOL!

[christschinwon]

Heard Les Ferdinand on Talk Sport the other day and it had never occurred to me until now how similar his voice is to Mr Harris

[bachir1992]

HE'S MY HERO *__*

[75Maiden666]

He loves Killswitch Engage, must feel great for someone like Steve Harris to say he loves your Band =D

[ronconmp19]

Steve, what can I say, without you no Iron Maiden, I rather be dead. I got a 52 feet boat waiting for you in case you want to go fishing and relax in the caribean...Hey bring a girl or we get you a date!

[Skulatore7]

The Genius behind Maiden

[confederate880]

Along with Cliff Burton, this guy is my personal favourite Bassist of all time. :)

[8thtimeivedonethis]

all hail the beast steve harris 666!!! saw maiden 3 times in toronto. UP THE IRONS!

[duhdfgh]

I love his accent.

[MetalSwitch95]

Omg, lol. He's such an east end cockney. That was hilarious.

[MiseryMachine88]

Does someone know how much fingers he uses on his right hand???

[april24tex]

@MiseryMachine88 as hard as it is to believe, he only uses two fingers...he's just a beast

[april24tex]

@MiseryMachine88 as hard as it is to believe, he only uses two fingers to play. He's just a beast....UP THE IRONS

[MiseryMachine88]

@april24tex He realy is a beast :D

[vidman520]

@MiseryMachine88 only 2 he said so in the episode of abbey road, its an illusion that makes it look like 4

[tatsumasa75]

@MiseryMachine88 2

[Smore0]

Iron Maiden are the kings of power metal! And it's all because of this bad ass right here. If it weren't for him, there would be no Iron Maiden.

[madcow455]

@Smore0 correction, Iron Maiden is the kings of heavy metal :P

[Smore0]

@madcow455 Sorry buddy but I'd have to give that to Black Sabbath.

[madcow455]

@Smore0 what i meant, was that u called iron maiden power metal xD

[Smore0]

@madcow455 ...They are power metal lol. Just really early power metal.

[SierraKilo9]

Up the Irons

[BOOMER90100]

[zangazoo2007]

I hate the name of the festival now! Donington Festival will always be!

[Bassardo]

....smascella un po troppo pero',eh??

comunque....one of a great bassplayer of all time!!

[Ironjagg]

steve harris is the bass bass player in the hole art @@ he is the true metal godman

[grumpypant]

...Now, Bruce Dickenson is another tough dog from this band---but, that's another story!!!

[grumpypant]

I have to admit that throughout my rock -n- roll fan years, I have never heard one single bad criticism about this guy...from radio airwave, magazine articles, to any multi-media exposures; Steve Harris from Iron Maiden, in my opinion, is probably the best bassist ever walked this green earth!!!

[LabisLovesMetalRock]

@grumpypant exacltly mate...even tho i have to say geezer butler is equally good

[fueldragster]

Steve Harris' eyebrows can cure cancer

Too bad he never plucks them

[rocklover873]

[joshmiles09]

@Kvideo360 Thank you! i hate new linkin park!

[Aheadstix85]

@Kvideo360 Yeahm i'd like to see Linkin park write a new album, and not just fuck around with hybrid theory some more, meteora was gay, Jay-z is gayer, Linkin park dont know if they are Nu-metal or hip hop.

[Crazytomtom7]

@Kvideo360 why do you care so much of them? (LP)

[crabin53]

his sig P bass is my dream bass that thing is soooooooooo sweet

[chrishampton1981]

It certainly is. I bought one when I traded in my old bass this week and it is so much fun to play.

Tone is fantastic and you do feel like Steve when you strap in.

All the best and Up The Irons!

[DanBell47]

God of Bass Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AzBirdDog]

I remember seeing Steve back in the early 80s and I always wondered what he was like. It was always Bruce and Dave who did all the talking.

It's really great to see and hear the younger gens of today like Iron Maiden, instead of dissing them.

Thanks to Iron Maiden back then, They influenced me to pick up a guitar and learn to play. That guitar was my Anti-Drug. And for every druggie who tried to show me up on jamming, I had to make him look stupid.

UP THE IRONS!

(ouch, pulled a muscle)

[elteescat]

I had the privelege of meeting Steve on the X Factor tour and he was super nice!  He autographed my ENTIRE Maiden album collection and even a few things that had fallen out of the record sleeves down into my bag like order forms for Piece of Mind memorabelia and stuff. He must have signed his name 50 times for me!!!!!! He was awesome!!!!!!!

[MyCatIsItchy]

My uncle made the tank! I have a picture of me next to it half made :)

[lexith0123]

oh really where was this?

[rich2244345]

is that blackie singing in the background?

[Lengsel7]

Harris should be knighted.

[greeneye023]

Of course!

[GreenFob]

count the time he says "you know"

[BooVII]

10 times.

[uzielis]

Steve Harris knows music like Quentin knows movies. Truly two of the greatest artists of our time.

[clevandwits]

What amazes me most is hearing him say that he likes Evanescence... they're OK for me but the vocals and band are simply not tight together.

[HumanUnitNeverKilled]

I love how Harris is still into all these new bands. I was surprised to hear him say he's into Killswitch.

[KnighttMax]

ggtgfgfdg yes yes

[humildemarcelo]

i can't understand anything!!!!

damned british accent!!1

[GravenBG]

you are the one with the accent, not him

[Lele2007lele]

We are 2 into this. :P

[D4V35PR1NG]

FUCK OFF stop taking the mick u RETARD ur not even funny

[IronHarper]

Was there a tank?

[rabidfreak12]

yeah they had one I saw em' at irvine during this tour!

[cjwKILLEDcool]

leg end

[smffey]

UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pressingthru]

get bassist top 5 of all time!!!!!!!!!

[OrcSlayer74]

Why do so many people say "you know" after every sentence?

[MadForM9950Cal]

i duno, you know?

[jonybeam]

nervous disposition is the cause of that

[DLpro96]

of cource he speaks ?

[NeilThompson30]

Why is anyone (including myself!!!) watching this? The NME are a bunch of wankers - when Maiden's first album came out it was reviewed by this lot alongside Priest's British Steel (with pictures of Halford and Dianno looking very similar!) saying what a load of shite the two albums were!!

[shelley9000]

Really Neil! That's interesting to know. Two of the greatest albums of all time (my opinion) and the NME trashed them. Hmmm......

[MrJoller]

cliff burton comes allways first but steve harris if very good too

[XXXsecretmanXXX]

i would say that their like brothers and that cliff is a thrash god and that harris is a metal god!!

but when you see that harrishas done line 20 albums i dont know and cliff only 3, you would say that harris is better, but i dont know what could happen if cliif was still alive, of course metallica wold have li 3 more masters!! but y dont know

[WenchesandMead]

i like the sound of the band in the background at the end lol

[drumari0]

its linkin park no more sorrow

[ifjvassn]

You forget he's not just a great bass player but he writes the majority of Maiden's stuff. Which alreaedy says it for me.

[xXEdHuNtErXx]

haha steve harris is god, i dont know what you guys are on, its obvious :)

[shibby222222]

the linkin park in the backround ruins this video

[Trever99]

Steve was the reason I started playing Bass.... he use to destroy me. Him and Geddy Lee. Geddy on Moving Pictures is about as good as it gets.

I saw Maiden 6 times in their heyday. Always great.

[patsupfan]

dude... geddy and steve are the exact reason i started playing bass! your speaking my language!

[BOnEhEAdD]

... The language both of you are speaking in is pretty much international :D

[djfrank203]

XD linkin park in the back.... haha

[PEDROCLASSIC]

the excellence of execution...the master of his craft...he is, indeed, THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE.... ( You guys remember that one?)

[codynstuff]

Nope

[uzielis]

Brett Hart?

[metallica951753]

hes my hero!!!!

[ralphyetmore]

Steve Harris - the totally underrated father of modern and technical Metal. Hell, the father of any GOOD metal.

[dinoman2222]

the fucking shit band playing the background pissed me off!

then steve's voice soothed me...

[guitarcenter999]

When Steve speaks the only words that process into my brain are, GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD

[x360wizard]

guiatrcenter999 thats all i heard to had to watch it twice :)

[saguitarist]

He's not God. He's a famous human being.

[Tandy1001]

God of Bass guitar.

[DanBell47]

Dito!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[obliviongeek14]

Him and Geddy Lee are Bass gods

[Teddyhetto]

he is God, the messiah, and all the religous stories are based on him.... Enough said.

[lexith0123]

you dont have to believe me i dont even like iron maiden but im telling the truth

[asdfadfer]

prove it then.

[lexith0123]

ok have you got msn? il send ya a pic

[lexith0123]

thats my uncle ha

[DarkestFreedom01]

God is you're uncle, then,

[borh1]

to way mate the chance of meeting a realitive of the worlds 2nd best musisian is improbable

[purplemonkeyelephant]

His music tastes are fairly suprising! I dont know why I didnt think Steve would be a Killswitch or Evanescence fan.. Nice to see him not look grumpy though lol

[LondonCasual90]

Legend

[suprsonickath]

He likes saying 'you know' a lot here

[pullybrit]

Don't take my word for it, but I think it's called a "verbal disfluency", like you'll say something (like "you know") over and over again w/o even knowing it, particularly when you're in a pressure situation (i.e., giving a speech, an interview, grilled by the cops, etc).
