Plus whats called Maiden's trademark gallop rhythm is all in the bass. Also Steve's got the click sound, which i still havent figured out how he does, and that gives him a very distinct sound.[/QUOTE]

I think it has something to do with the flatwound strings he uses. Also, he probably boosts his mids a lot.

yeah, you can hear the bass in EVERY Maiden song, and the bassline is always awesome. Steve knows when to play rhythm, when to stray from the guitar, when to do whatever.

I get that sound Every time i play an fender P-Bass of some reason... I love it though, so now im gonna buy an Fender P :D

And i think much of that clacking sound has to do with that steve always have used Much treble and little bass on his Amp to cut through the guitars...

(thanks for giving me a reason to bump this :p :thumb: )

well.. i didnt read much. all i wanna say is iron maiden brought me into metal. n inspired me 2 pick up electric guitar? haha

haha...0_o

I seen a Cd when I was up north and it was a copy of PowerSlave, but instead of the Egyptan front cover, it had their guy (sorry dont know his name) in a mounties outfit. Anyone know wat it is all about?

steve's eyes look wicked in that pic

Has anyone heard 'Losfer words' off Powerslave. It's on of the best instrumentals i've ever heard and one of Steve Harris' best bass lines.

yeah, its a good song, not steves best bass line IMO, that have to be somthing from Iron Maiden/Killers..... or Rime of the ancient mariner...

Losfer woods is good, but i prefer the instrumental off the Killers album....cant remember what its called off the top of my head

there are two... ides of march and genghis khan.. i think you mean genghis kahn its awsome...


BTW: My avatar have to be the most Kicka$$ Steve Picture ever! :D

ghenghis khan and losfer words are the best of the maiden instrumentals, no question

Eddie is his name.. its where i got my nick from :p any way, its probbaly a fake CD.. Mounties? on Powerslave Eddie is in an Mumie(dont know how to spell it..) could be the cover to 2 minutes to midnight tough...

in the album sleve, it has a christmas card with eddie as a mountie

[QUOTE=GurS]ghenghis khan and losfer words are the best of the maiden instrumentals, no question[/QUOTE]

very true, the "ides of march" and "transylvania" also are worth a mention..."losfer words" is easily my favourite.

transylvania is really just an intro for strange world... and you could consider ides of march to be an intro for wrathchild aswell.

strange world owns :D

[QUOTE=GurS]in the album sleve, it has a christmas card with eddie as a mountie[/QUOTE]

Isnt that in the Somewhere in time booklet? he stands with an axe and an sword and some dead animals in the background(i belive it is dinosaurs..) that is, if i have understand what an mountie outfit is...

im sick of these thread sayin theyre official.. does iron maiden even know about this thread.. its not official

[QUOTE=Tiefes_blau]im sick of these thread sayin theyre official.. does iron maiden even know about this thread.. its not official[/QUOTE]

On this board it is, n00b!
its been around much longer than u.. :p

nah, i'm 90% sure it's powerslave... in the middle pages, top right corner (i think), eddie in a mounties outfit leading a reindeer...

definatly not somewhere in time, as that is one of the 4 maiden studio albums i don't have

well, somwhere in time is where i find him with an reindeer, dressed like santa..

thats not a mountie suit.
I can guarentee 100% its not on powerslave though I looked through the book and its not there. So I still don't know why it had a different cover
