Best song he has ever played? That's a toughie... Rime Of The Ancent Mariner and Losfer Words are both good examples. I'm not a bassist, so the hardest one would be beyond me.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Phantom of the Opera
To Tame A Land

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

So i just got fear of the dark and it is awesome,Be quick or be dead is great, chains of misery, the apparition, and of course fear of the dark are all cool songs

Quickly, hide the bolded part of your post! Eep!

Do you not like that song?

Most people don't.

Oh I do, but the rest of them may not. :-/

*wakes up and comes straight to Maiden Thread*

:eek: Blasphemers...

morning all...the apparition is, without doubt, the worst song on fear of the dark.
i was bored last night when i got in from school, so i watched the enhanced videos on FOTD.

From here to Eternity is a great video...shame about the crap Eddie though...

yeh...well, i managed to have the 1st 14 threads in R&M with me as the last poster, but now i'm buggering off so see you all later.

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

: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.
