‘The bass player’ is the mighty Steve Harris, he’s the founder of Iron Maiden.
And in my opinion the greatest bass player of all time!
And in my opinion the greatest bass player of all time!
@@aktionp20He's not Les Claypool or Bill Dickens, but he's absolutely one of my top 4 influences as a bassist.
@@wonderputz put his bass playing aside. He has still written some insanely good songs. He (in my opinion) is the greatest bassist of all time, not only for his bass playing, but for the songs he's written.
@@aktionp20 Put his bass playing aside? The man is amazing. Yes, I said top 4 because of playing ability, but he and Cliff Burton are my 1 and 2, in some order.
The bass player, Steve Harris, is the reason I picked up and started playing bass. The drive and tone he has is iconic. Absolutely love it when he does his signature triplet gallop like in The Trooper. He HAS to be one of the most influential bassist/songwriter of all time.
Eyyy Harris is also the reason I picked up the bass when I was 14, back in 2004. Huge influence \m/
Same for me. Been playing bass for over 17 years now and also started playing the drums because of Clive Burr.
Same here, Dude! I remember my best friend hangin' out with me in my bedroom and he really enjoyed (and is still blown away to this day!) watching and listening to my playing along with the "Piece of Mind" album from top to bottom. I can't do it anymore but it sure was a lot of fun back then - lol
Adrian Smith, legendary guitarist, does backing vocals. His fellow guitarists are Dave Murray and Janick Gers (who joined the band in the 90s). Each brings their own style and strengths to the band.🤘
Janick certainly brings his own style
In 1986,i went to my first Iron Maiden Show ever, in Stuttgart Germany.Now,37 years (and 179 Shows in 30 countries seeing them) later,as a fan since 1983 (i'm 52 now) i'm so happy, that the band is still around!!! "Wasted Years" is my favorite Maiden Song ever and since i heard the Song for the first time back in '86,i'm trying to live my life as it says in the lyrics of Wasted Years: "Don't waste your Time always searching for those wasted Years"!!! Up the Irons forever!!! Thanks for the video and Greetings from Germany!!!
I was 5 when this song came out, thankfully I had parents who listened to it!
That album "Somewhere in Time" is being featured in their 2024 tour, for those interested!
Cover something off their new disc too! "Senjutsu".
I want to go so badly, but the closest show is in Pittsburgh.
in 1986 i was a senior in high school and went to this concert at the fabulous forum in Los Angeles California, it was so epic we went back the next night and bought scalper tickets to which I still have today , UP THE IRONS !!!
I was too young for concerts at that time, but LOVED this cassette when I first got it. Only aged better over time.
They're on tour in the US this year, featuring Somewhere in Time and Senjutsu, so relive it!
I last seen them back in sep 22 at the pond, in Anaheim California, the legacy of the beast tour, tickets were $200.back then, I could imagine how much they will be now, hey brother, thanks for the response, UP THE IRONS ! @@falloutfan2502
They came to my town but I was broke. One of the few bands I didn't get to see. The 80s had some great concerts.
Peter, the 80's did have some great concerts my brother, I started my concert going with Motley Crue at the Santa Monica civic auditorium, and it was new year's eve going into 1983 and the concert was called " New Years Evil, and I was 15,and the next one was 1983 US Festival and it continues till this day, and I'm 55 the last one was Maiden in 22 at the pond in Anaheim, you can't kill Rock & Roll I'm here to stay ...@@peterhineinlegen4672
First cassette tape I ever bought with my own money at age 14. This song was the reason I bought it and then discovered all the other great songs on it. It was the beginning of it all for me
So glad you reacted to this one Geebz! Of all of Maiden's most popular songs this one is my favourite. The whole tone and mixing of that album is sublime.
Yeah it's a great track - surprisingly simple song really, but everything is just right. One of my favourites of Adrian's solo's too. Not too complex, but just hits the right tone and vibe.
great choice, I've been a Maiden fan since I was very young, I've seen them many times. I think this one is part of the essential maiden catalogue. These two albums, 7th son and Somewhere in Time, go great together
An Iconic track from an Iconic band! UP THE IRONS!🤘🤘
Didn't see that one coming !! Ace! ✌️ Up the irons!
Adrian Smith (Guitarist) is an awesome singer. He does a lot of harmonies in Maiden. Check out his album with Richie Kotzen called Smith/Kotzen that they released during Covid. He does a bunch of lead vocals and is incredible..
Steve Harris is easily one of my all time favorite bass guitarists. His playing never gets drowned out, and he has such a fun stage presence any time I've been able to see maiden live in Toronto. When the crew comes out on stage and starts chanting with him during Heaven Can Wait is always so awesome.
yeahhh man! Always happy to see you post, on this channel and the other. You nailed this analysis. Thanks so much!
Hey man, love ya! The warmth and the youful excitement, along the knowledge and experience. You always makes me feel good, thanks!
This was my jam growing up :)
Ah my brother you really took me back with this one.
I was 15 and just ran away, halfway across the country.
This whole album was my soundtrack to that mis-adventure.
Such bittersweet memories 😂
Awwwright!!🤙
They're touring it again in 2024!
@@falloutfan2502 Wow , been a long time since I’ve seen them.
Not since No Prayer for the Dying w/ Anthrax 🤘
One of the best songs ever, one that you can't help but feel closer to every time you hear it, whether you last heard it yesterday, a month or 1 year ago.
Sir Steve Harris with his galloping bass is the man when it comes to heavy metal bass player.
I wasn't aware that Steve had been knighted
One of my favourite songs of all times. Always lifts me up in uncertain times
True
Actually at that concert because I seen them in Phoenix Arizona somewhere in time tour, with Vinny Vincent band who opened for iron maiden.
Adrian Smith is one of the guitarists in the band. He played the main solo. He also wrote alot of the band's music with Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson.
Wasted Years is also the first song that Adrian wrote by himself for the band
Nice break down. This is the song that baptized me into metal, in fact that signature riff is why I started playing guitar... And ofcourse often times in Life I've realized these lyrics hold gravity.
Man youre in your 60's? Wow! You're wearing well. I would have guessed early 50's at the absolute most!
Been a while since I dropped by, but loving the haircut Geebz, love the explanation as always pal
In my 1987 senior year book this was listed as my favorite song. Still is.
They are touring the US this year. I'm going to see them in Oct in Sacramento at the "Aftershock Festival " first time was in Long Beach Arena during the "Powerslave" tour. It will be my 8 time. IRONS UP!!!!
Saw them in concert last year , still amazing ❤
Iron Maiden is still touring. I have tickets to see them later this year. You really should go and see one of their shows. You will be impressed!!!
Awesome reaction Geebz!! Adrian Smith is the lead guitar player in this classic Maiden track. Such expressive and memorable solos, as is always the case with both Adrian Smith and Dave Murray (the other equally impressive guitarist).🤘
Adrian also wrote this one
Steve Harris, the bassist, never disappoints.
You wanna hear an even better performance of his? Check out "To Tame a land" 2015 remastered version. I have no clue how the guy's finger didn't catch on fire on that.
I was 15 😮 on my 18th birthday my little brother gave me the Killers album, on cassette 😏 and it is one of my top of all time albums, specifically Murderers in the Rue Morgue, I have always gravitated to music that was "older" than me. Especially all those "metal" bass lines, ❤❤❤
Iron Maiden has influenced and impacted so many lives.
Very nostalgic for me. I was 19 on my 1st national tour. Sitting in the lounge area of our MC5 Greyhound listening to this song on the old stereo system. Lol. I can still smell the diesel fuel burning.
They had a SOLID decade of putting out really good albums, great singles and amazing merch, One of few metal bands that Transcended into the mainstream by quality of product alone.
Absolutely love this song
That is exactly right. We are living in our golden years. Dont search for what you alredy have.
Somewhere in time was the first ever "Compact Disc" that I listened to.
Nice to see you coming back to Maiden!!!🤘
One of my favorite Iron Maiden tracks!
I was 7or 8 whenthis album came out, but I had an older brother and sister so was exposed to alot of music at that age. I always loved Iron Maiden, the bass sound is epic, especially back then when the equipment often couldnt express the bass sound to its fullest. So this band was really a big standout for me bass wise (and yeah at 7 or 8 I was able to appreciate these things, my family has always been musical with learning different instruments/singin encouraged 😊)
When my dad died of lung cancer, I was reciting Wasted Years lyrics in my mind...Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind. Can't ease this pain so easily...Feeling sorry for not spending more time with him.
For the NWOBHM genre look to Diamond Head’s Am I Evil? Such a classic!
Thank you ! Cool video as always
Geeb you are so excellent! Lovely human beign.
I was 18 years old, kissin high school goodbye. Peace.
Greetings from Los Angeles! If you’re open to doing more classic Iron Maiden, I would highly recommend “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son”, the title track from their epic 1988 album.
1987 Lakeland, Florida...Yngwie Malmsteen opened. Killer show. Up the Irons!
Amazing song 🤌🏼🤟🏼
The Bass is fantastic !
I absolutely love Iron Maiden!!! This song is one of my many, many favorites.❤ Up the Irons! 🎸🎵🤘
There is a band called Dead Meadow which has been putting out great music for more than the last 20 years. Their sound is Doom Metal/ Stoner Rock. I'd start with their first two videos from 2004/ 2005 "What Needs Must Be" and ""At Her Open Door".
9:24
"So, If You Were Born Before 1986"
When this Iron Maiden album came out, I was about 14 or 15 years old in 1986
“Caught Somewhere In Time” is another epic track from this album.
It was Adrian on the Stranger in a Strange Land video that made me pick up a guitar. It was THAT momment in 1987. That was it.
oooh bot! this one hits you right in the feels! in 86 I was only 11 years old and was already mesmerized by the amazing album cover and this song! my friend had this on tape! so it always brings me back there! the bass is Epic, the song is a Iconic Classic! for some 90's nostalgia and some crazy singing from Bruce, I suggest: Wasting Love from Fear Of The Dark! great video as always!
Recommendation for early Prong. Three piece power. 👍
My favorite Iron Maiden song
@4:20 the bass fills start here at the beginning of each phrase, each one a bit more interesting than the last. The second one @4:31 - that little ditty could be a kids cereal commercial.
Now you're getting into the greatness of metal. Iconic and legendary. The mighty Iron Maiden, the fine wine of metal.
‘86 I was a junior in high school and was a huge metalhead but at the time not a Maiden fan. Have since, clearly, changed my view of them 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯
Great reaction!
Thank you Geebz
The video was a retrospective of their career to that moment (1986). Now realize that career has continued for nearly 40 years beyond that.
In 1986, I was an impressionable 12 year old, and went with my Mom to the Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time concert tour in St. Louis, MO.
I can't pretend I remember this specific song being played, though I know it was one of the more popular singles.
Fun fact...it was the only track on this album NOT to feature synth parts.
Great song, great reaction!
Beautifully written song..the older I get,the more I appreciate it. Up the Irons!
Adrian - lead guitarist on this one -was playing this in the studio and Steve -bassist/leader - said I like that what is it? Something I have been working on but think it is too commercial. Steve said no we'll will use that and the rest is history
Please, react to Kittie's new song "Eyes Wide Open". They are an all-female heavy metal band that released their first album "Spit" 25 years ago when they were only 14-15 years old. They haven't released anything since 2011.
In High School in the 80's it was Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth, and Metallica. All day every day...
1975 band, still going and still absolutely ripping
King’s X!!!
In 1986 I was still several years away from being anything more than a few cells in my father's, erm, y'know... Love this song, and the whole album. Up the irons!
Love this album - saw the tour in 87
UP THE IRONS🤘🤘
A lot of Iron Maiden Songs Sound also good acoustic !
Steve Harris is the reason i've played bass for 24 years.
Could not agree more with your take on the impact of the bass.
One of my favorite Maiden Songs to play on bass. This and The Prisoner were songs I always tried to get on my cover band song lists. Notice the clicks in the tone, the slam on the pickup click. You have to be smacking those strings to get that high end. Steve Harris is the reason I learned not to teach my bass like a toy. It's made for work. Treat it like a machine and pound that fucker.
bellissima canzone
If you haven't checked it out yet, Caught Somewhere in Time is an amazing track, totally should give it a listen.
Classic Maiden 🤘
wooo! maiden ruulessss
Maiden really surprised the metal fan base with their use of synth on parts of Somewhere in Time. But it really worked, wasn’t over produced and consistent with the futuristic theme of the album. Remains in my top 3 of their albums. UP THE IRONS!
Without a doubt the greatest music came from UK 💯
Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner if you want a great story and a great song. Based on the classic poem..
If you do the live version, Live After Death is best but the studio version is the highest quality playing (because it's done in the studio where you can play it till it's perfect).
Born in 1972 and I appreciate the meaning of this song more and more by the passing year
I was 10, but did get Piece of Mind when I was in my teens. (I think it was on that one)
Great selection.
Piece of mind was good, this song was on Stranger In A Strange Land that came out later.
@mathias6423 Thanks! Hard to remember!
Great, great song. I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan, but there are songs that (created in their own style) tug at your heartstrings... For example, "Alexander the Great" Is that from "Somewhere in Time"? If not, don't be offended, I don't remember... I was 9 🤣🤣🤣
btw. question: ?
Reply: more Opeth, Nevermore (Sanctuary-"Future Tense", "White Rabbit"-Jefferson AP cover!), Sepultura (only old stuff - Arise, Beneath TR), and many many more...
helloween - the departed (sun is going Down)
Absolut classic
I miss the kind of bass sound that cut through like an actual instrument instead of being more of a low-heavy "bass presence" for the overall sound, as became the norm after this era. If you switch from e.g. The Book of Souls (2015) to an 80s Maiden album, the latter sounds almost tinny for a moment until you adjust again. But the point was to emphasize the individual bass notes.
Do you like Tolkien's Middle-earth?
Do you like bands that define a genre and other similar kind of bands are compared to?
Music that paints a story?
I think it is time to show you band called SUMMONING.
I'd recommend starting with a song called "Farewell" or "Old Mornings Dawn".
Up the Irons!!!!!!!
Always preferred bassists who played without a pick.
Yes... The song is about the present time being the "golden years" & not wasting time trying to repeat the past. The chorus actually says that, but most of the time you were talking over it and probably didn't hear it. 😉
Awesome to see someone reacting to the original video!!
You should really check out Stuart Clifford's version of this. Maybe it's cos I'm getting older now but seeing and hearing him sing it gives the song a whole new perspective. His vocals aren't perfect, his guitar playing not flawless but the heartfelt passion is everything.

Dude. I can't believe you're in your 60s! I'm 46 and just kind of assumed you were 5-10 years older, maybe my older brother's age (57) at most. Mf horns up for us that stay looking young (no one ever believes I'm older than 35)!
Anyway, what a fantastic track. Can you believe these guys were quite viciously attacked during the whole "satanic panic" era? I was absolutely forbidden to listen to them back in the day. So when I was in 10th grade, this kid in my writing class let me have his Live After Death video tape. I had to sneak watch it when no one was around. To my surprise, it was some of the least "evil" music I'd ever come across. I had tapes by christian metal bands that were 100x more "satanic" than Maiden. I ended up making my mom watch it and was like "yo, what are you guys on about?" And while it was still a little too "heavy" for her tastes, she ended up enjoying the video and Maiden got the pass after that 😆
Geebz starting to look like Mark Twain
and the wait continues...WHO will be the first RUclips music theory master to tackle Wall of Eyes...smart money's on Ixi, but Beato's gotta be close...though someone else COULD beat them to the punch?
It's not "the bass player", it's Steve Harris!
