...just about any "epic" song that was written completely or mostly by Harris will include some tough bass lines.[/QUOTE]

yeah, if you want a real challenge follow them live... to me "heaven can wait" have a thougher bassline, especially during the solos....

[QUOTE=ashman]:lol: You crazy spam whore...[/QUOTE]
:lol: most of it was spam, i kept it as relevant as possible to each thread. and i have screenshots :)

school is so boring! nothing to do at the moment, don't leave for another 45 minutes, won't get home until about 4.15, 1 hour 35 mins away!

I don't think Rime is that hard. Long, but not really difficult.

The Trooper with 2 fingers though. That's different.

u know whats even more boring? doing nothing...:p atlest i can wait for money to roll into my acount and see the money for an fender p-bass is raising every 2. week :P its pretty exciting...:p

steve harris uses a fender p-bass doesn't he? (with custom strings)
the government pay me £20 a week to go to school, because my parents don't earn much :lol:

That was off-topic.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]That was off-topic.[/QUOTE]

it was not, cause Steve Harris plays a Fender precision, and im gonna use this one for an Iron Maiden Tribute band.

and yes, steve Have sig strings, but the only difference from the original strings is the colour on the end of them..:p

ah ok. i'm hoping to get an ESP Ltd. B-50 bass by the end of this summer :)

Actually, Harris' sig. strings are made mostly of nickel instead of chrome, making the tone closer to his. I've seen them sold near where I am, but they are twice as expensive as normal strings.

Harris strings is exactly like The original Rotosound flatwounds... and they cost exactly the same as Rotosounds other Flatwounds, Most people use 45 - 105 bass strings, steve harris have 50 - 110... even though thats still regular strings, but that and the colour is the only difference...

and they are Monel strings....

Rotosound RS77LE Jazz Bass and Rotosound SH 77 Steve Harris Signature Set are EXACTLY the same stings.

After some brief research, you are correct. I did read an article in Bass Guitar saying what I said though.

they are wrong... i have played both strings, so i know!

I don't have a subscription anymore because they suck.

i think bass player would be a safer bet...

I don't like that one. It's too dry for my taste.

Cool, so you're finally getting an instrument...

im seeing maiden in august in dublin, wondering if any of you are goin? :)

[QUOTE=Janick-MurraySmith]im seeing maiden in august in dublin, wondering if any of you are goin? :)[/QUOTE]

I thinks Icebase is going...and how come you didn't vote Murray?

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how "The Clansmen" and "Infinite Dreams" intros sound alike?

'Tis true, they do recycle a lot of riffs...the good ones thoug :D

if you play bass, play the "Number of the beast" intro riff backwards and see if you can recognize...;)

Clairvoyant?

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]indeed[/QUOTE]

Huzzah...

I noticed that the other day :p

Something I noticed about DT's cover of the NOTB album, on NOTB (song) LaBrie's scream sounds almost exactly like Bruce's on the album version.

Yeah, I noticed that...reaks of mimage.

[QUOTE=ashman]Cool, so you're finally getting an instrument...[/QUOTE]
yeh finally lol...will be much better than playing air guitar :lol: hopefully i will be able to afford one...

Eddie, how did you find out that NOTB bassline from the intro backwards is the Clairvoyant intro?

[QUOTE=sack-man]Eddie, how did you find out that NOTB bassline from the intro backwards is the Clairvoyant intro?[/QUOTE]

can't you tell? or do you need to play bass to get it?

i thought it was pretty obvious

someone told me along time a go.. so i tried, and yeah, it was corect :p

[QUOTE=YDload]can't you tell? or do you need to play bass to get it?

i never really thought about it, but now i've listened to the songs again it does seem pretty obvious.

When is the next part of the history coming out, most likely after the tour. Speeking of the tour, do you think they will bring out a live album of the early days. Would be great if they did.

Possibly, it would be cool.

I doubt it. I mean, think about it - BNW tour, live album. DOD tour, live dvd. I really doubt they are gonna make release live fodder from three tours in a row. That would be stupid, and I doubt Maiden would do that unless there is a huge want from the fans for such a thing to be done - I can only see two reasons to do it, you see. A) For the fans, and B) for the money. Seeing as they are not likely to do it for the money, if the fans don't want it it ain't gonna happen. If it DOES happen and the fans don't want it, I'll lose a lot of my respect for Maiden.

I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player

[QUOTE=Janick-MurraySmith]I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player[/QUOTE]
I don't. Prefer Murray myself.

[QUOTE=Janick-MurraySmith]I love murrays playing and i perfer listening to maiden then clapton but i do think clapton technically is the better player[/QUOTE]

i agree with that. clapton i think is a lot better than murray, but i'm starting to like listening to murray more

Clapton is a very emotional player, but he doesn't really try new things anymore...But Murray is a very experimental guitarists, he tries a lot of new styles .etc but he does only use the same key over and over and over over again...
