Met Niko McBrain outside his restaurant a few years ago. He stopped and talked to me for a hour. Thanked me for being a fan several times. He was humble and down to earth and a cool guy.

Met Steve Harris when I was 13, waiting outside the stage door, he endured my stupid questions with a calm and warm smile, asked me what my favourite song was and really gave me his full attention for a couple of minutes out there in the freezing cold snow and wind. Made my life. The memory always gladdens my heart as well as being an excellent lesson in true humility. Up the Irons!

Interviewed Steve when I worked at a radio station. Everyone had 15 minutes. We ended up talking to him for and hour and a half. He kept thanking us and we were in awe because he's Steve Harris. He said I been doing interviews all day and you guys were the only ones that were real Maiden fans asking questions that no one was asking and that's why I stayed so long, was refreshing instead of talking to people who had the same questions written down. We were blown away how humble he was. Still have that interview and listen to it every few years. Great memory. Up the Irons

Maiden is the best live band, ever. Easily.

[drewjohnson]

I have to question the integrity of anyone who doesn't like Maiden.

[sweetrobertos]

I started with Maiden & Priest in 1980. Then went to Metallica and Thrash. Then went to Death Metal. But "early" Maiden will always hold a special place in my heart. It reminds me of my teenage years.

First met Steve on the Killers tour.

The Trouble guys and I drove quite a distance to see them at a large club in Illinois. ( or was it Indiana? )
Anyway, we hung out with them for about an hour before they played. Salt of the earth. And yes, they were awesome.

Metal Mania Forever, Forever Metal Mania!

Would love to see Maiden and Metallica co-headline a stadium tour together.

Metallica are massively influenced by Iron Maiden so it is incredible how Metallica have always continued to acknowledge Iron Maiden as not only absolute pillars of the heavy metal realm but also as incredibly wonderful people even after accomplishing mindblowing success and superstardom. Vice versa as well.
Both Metallica and Iron Maiden are the two biggest heavy metal bands in the world but they both acknowledge each other's accomplishments and have a mutual respect between them.

[BeshTacona]

Love both bands. Maiden got a bit of a head start and so will always be the band I go to when I need it. I don't see them as a rivalry as they both offer different things and they're both the best in their respective styles. Apples and Oranges. I think if people saw bands this way, we'd have fewer arguments :p Peace in Metal, blood brothers!

I was watching Mercyful Fate play at Copenhell last summer. And guess who we spotted watching from backstage. Lars and James. Thankfully some men never stop being fanboys!

[aboutthemetal]

Anyone who is lucky enough to meet Nicko when he's not particularly busy will have a long chat of over half an hour and when the chats over the only thing they will say is " what a lovely guy, I couldn't get a word in " .
I love how Nicko is a social butterfly .

[marcelboogaard]

I used to play football (soccer) against Steve’s Maidonian team. Absolute gentleman on and off the pitch.

[Magneticlaw]

Along with everything that makes a great band successful, both bands have cultivated that rarest of attributes, known as longevity. 🤘

[biorythmicshifter]

Steve Harris is the epitome of humble…

[mooreoutdoor]

Steve Harris is the reason I started playing bass. My style turned out to be nothing like his but he is still my favorite bass player of all time.

[trevorbender]

I remember back when Garage Days first came out...Jason had just joined filling in the hole left by Uncle Cliffy and while listening to GD album at the end Lars did a parody take of "Run to the Hills" intro and I was like "Wtf"!!!
Long story short...I was pissed at the time because Maiden is my all-time favorite band.🤘😄 This story here is awesome and I tank you for posting. Metallica/Maiden are true pioneers of their genre.
🤘😎
UP THE IRONS!!🤘☢️🤘

[jonny_apocalypseii]

i met steve in dublin. james is spot on about him, super down to earth friendly gracious and hospitable.

[dwaynejessome]

That's part of the reason why Maiden are the greatest

[ipreferfreedom]

Really cool interview. The two best bands in the world in my humble opinion
