When I was 13 I didn't have the money to go see Maiden live, so my friends and I went to a fortress wall outside the venue to watch them play. The only sound I could hear clearly was the monstrous clang of Steve's bass rig. A fond memory to this day

[yax]

I love how Steve is all "Yeah, I bought this in the beginning of time, and I'm going to use it until the end of time".

[faequeentitania]

I love that Steve is such a creature of habit; he knows what he likes, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it! 😄 Thank you for this very neat video!

[JackDanaher]

Apparently, Michael Kenney who was Steve's bass tech and the band's keyboardist for 34 years retired after last year's tour. I'm glad I was able to hear him live before he called it a career.

[Skrerrt]

MASSSIVE respect for you man. Playing 10 songs with the band while also being Steve’s tech 🔥

[MatthewGClarke]

Awesome work Brent: Balancing all of that must be fun but demanding! Steve made me want to play bass - watching "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from "Live After Death" when I was 12 years old 🙌

[rchilton]

So humble "oh, and I also play kb on almost every song" 😂

[Stephen_Lafferty]

Amazing to see that much of the rig has been toured for decades! Also amazing that Brent plays keyboards from his tech station. That's a lot of work before, during, and after the show!

Remember Steve is the founder of the band since 1975
48 fucking years of Heavy Metal with the best musicians/singer of the Earth🤘💪🌟⚡️🔥

Proper band. Proper musicans. Proper sounds.
No playbacks and mimics😉

Nice. My favorite bass part from Steve is the intro to Blood on the World's Hands.

[noriyukitakashima]

I watched it with great interest. It's great that Mr. Harris has been using the equipment for so long. thank you.

[Cultifact]

I'm extremally happy to see such a an oldschool rig. This is the tone that got me into the metal music 28years ago and it's still unchanged.

[OliverTobyn]

Steve's bass tone and rig is like the secret recipe of a well known brand. It works, and has always been successful, why ever change it?

[andrewpappas]

I’ve been waiting to see a video on Steve’s rig, even though it’s fairly minimalistic you can’t go wrong with the classic setup

[sciencemadeusrobots]

Love how attainable the fallback gear is, and still sounds great!

[PhantonHenderson]

Meu deus!! Um vídeo sobre o equipamento do Mestre Steve Harris!! Como baixista assisti o vídeo inteiro com olhos brilhando vendo como funciona o motor do som do baixista que é meu ídolo e minha maior influência!!

Obrigado, Mr. Brent Diamond, por fazer o som do Master Harris soar tão incrível para nós!! UP The irons!! 🤘😁

[MIDI]

Great video! I love these behind the scenes look at musician's gear. Tech guys...the unsung heroes of every great rock band!

[Vincent-]

You are a very busy man behind the scenes. Thanks for your efforts.

Steve Harris = the greatest metal bassist of all-time!! Maiden = the greatest band of all-time!! Steve paved the way for all future metal bands from back then and still to this day. Love his lyrics, songwriting, and charisma on stage. Steve is life, and Maiden is life! UP THE IRONS!!! 🤘🤘🤘

P.S. Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far... !
