    This song and Orion from Metallica got me into the bass at age 14. I am now 45 and still playing. It's too bad Cliff is not with us him and Steve would be jamming together as titans of heavy metal bass.

    This is part of the why Steve Harris is the greatest metal bass player of all times! His sound is unmistakeable, his playing is exciting and his creativity both playing and as a writer have no match. PS: your videos are a treat to watch!

    It's funny how the the sound of fingers sliding over the strings ends up being such a big part of expressing the creaking of the boards of the ship.
    I never took it anywhere really, but Steve Harris inspired me to play bass. Thumbs up for showing the world!

    So good. Damn if that ain't as close to the recording as possible. Must be the greatest relief ever when the slow part comes along. I wish I learned with my fingers instead of a pick (started on pop punk), I don't think I'll ever get my dexterity to this degree.

  • @harvestblades

    My favorite Maiden song, & likely my favorite song in general! As a kid when the album was new loved listening to this from Piwerslave or Live after Death driving around in the back of my step-dad's Camaro with a sound system (for the day). Maiden really fueled, my live for history, poetry, & even science fiction as I always researched their lyrics this was well before Google.

  • @CYBERJASE
    @CYBERJASE 6 лет назад +6

    Perfect bass cover, as all the others you have uploaded until now! Extra credit for this one, because it is extra long song, and the bass line is very difficult to play all-in-one-time. I mean, 14 minutes of continuous finger galloping is not so easy when you try it...! Congratulations Didier..!

    When I was younger I tried to play songs like this on the bass, but wasn't able to do so! Today I'm happy to see videos like this one, playing so perfectly! I guess someone must have a kind of "superpower" to play like Steve Harris!

    • @chrisk920
      @chrisk920 8 месяцев назад

      No, you’re wrong Gerome. It’s tech make I could never use that third finger while playing the bass with my fingers, to do that gala that Harris does. Is that what you’re doing you’re using three fingers? You pulled this off flawlessly. I’ve never seen anyone, but Harris do it as well. 👍

    Excellent theme musical, this song talk about the story of a ancient mariner that in the night him enter in trance and the bass electric was mention at the agony that him supported over night; sometimes I thought that is a story similar at the of the holandez flew.
    Should to have been terrible navigator only in the sea for the night and it's incredible that music has a sound special with very feeling by whichever that is hearing.
    Thanks for upload and share for all, that electric bass sound to glory man.

I just can’t do it. I don’t know how Harris does it at his age while running across a 90 foot stage, well don maestro. Mad respect on my end!👍😎

    is it normal to feel like crying with such a great song? I must have a great connection with the song, because it touches my heart directly, and many songs do that to me, mainly from Iron Maiden.

    •  3 года назад +1

      Hey Nathan, sure it is. They get involved very deep in their lyrics and put their hearts in them. So maybe you're empathic enough to vibe with them. Or perhaps you were a mariner in a former life and you killed the bird of good omen. haha.

    Man, you did it great. As a former guitarrist, (who used to try and fingerpick bass lines on an acoustic guitar) I see two major difficulties to play the bass lines of this song. The first one is to keep the gallop going well during the whole track. The second is to keep the slow part of the track on the beat (those #5 chords). You showed true endurance to sustain the alternate fingerpicking on your right hand and yet making the bass line sounding great. Steve Harris was a fucking animal on his bass, and yet sounded so melodical. Thumbs up, man! Cheers, from Goiânia-GO/Brazil.
