    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

    • @belasgirl6
      @belasgirl6 Рік тому +12

      That's a wonderful memory! I was 13 when I got Live After Death on cassette tape. I wore it out on a Sony Walkman. We had one rock station, every night about 12am, they would play 2 Minutes to Midnight, I would wait every night for them to play, I was 13. I did not get to see them live until I was 19. Good times

      Part of his very cool sound is his right plucking hand has a very light, agile touch.
      I was reading a discussion about this. Also, for many years he’s been playing flat wound bass strings to tear up his fingers less than round wound. To keep the sound brighter, he puts on a brand new set of strings every show!
      He’s uncopyable since he’s self-taught.
