When I was young (100's of years ago) I thought Steve Harris was the bass god (well...Geezer Butler was god, but Steve was close), but now I'm having second thoughts. I've picked up a couple of Maiden cd's since "Piece of Mind" and I hear the same thing over and over. Just a bunch of galloping E's, A's, G's, etc. He isn't really doing anything that spectacular. I know a lot of people still hold him up as a great bass player....but I've become bored with it.
Maybe the stuff I listen to now is just full of exceptional bass players (being a bass fan), but I'd like to hear why Steve is held in such high regard. I know this won't be a popular point of view, but it makes for good chit chat .
Remind me why I dug him so much...
