Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)

the way he plays just leaves you open mouthed... watch his right hand and you'll be shocked. But it's not just that... he's the mind, soul heart and beat of one of the
the best heavy metal bands ever, if not THE BEST. And in my opinion is one of the best composers of light music ever.

Watch Maiden videos. watch Steve play.

Harris is just the greatest bassist of all time! He is the ultimate Heavy metal bassist. Just look at how fast he play the trooper. He is WAY better than flea. GO STEVE!!

bass really is so much funnier than guitar!

has to be the best bass player in the world, u'll argree once u see him!

Yeah one of the best bassist of all times. I go crazy when i hear his stuff.. superhuman

no one in the world has a more unique ,more powerfull, or all around kickass sound than steve harris

steve harris is the boss he has that look on this his face and he puts up a great show.

yeah,check out "run to the hills" and feel the burn

this guy is the best and most experienced of all bassists! for cryin out loud you hear his bass more that the three other guitars in İron Miaden

WHAT!!!!! Only number 12, you must be joking, steve harris has at least got to be in the top ten basssits ever, how many bassists have you seen that can play bass that fast,unlike most metal bassists that use picks, he plays lightning fast figer bass. and not to metion, how many bassists have you heard that sound like harris, his classic machine gun rattle sound, that no other bassist can do, i think that what makes harris at least in the top ten, not to metion the best.

are you kidding me! Steve Harris is a beat on bass, not to be ranked above 5th best...

steve harris is one of the best bass players in the world. HANDS DOWN!! i dont know how he is only number 10 hes got to be at least number 2 if you think about it. man you guys are STUPID!!!

Steve Harris is the most unique bassist i have ever heard. How can you consider paul mcartney above him, and john entwistle. Sure the who were awesome, but the bass was the one thing that wasnt amazing. he should be right up there with flea, cliff, and geddy lee.

Strip away everything else and just listen to his bass. technical, imaginative...it's even exhausting playing "air bass" to him--but yet never "showy", it fits within the context of the song. and it's not just a riff here or there, it's on every song! As possibly the best ever, he's a must for the top 5, minimum

i dont even know where to start, the technique, the speed, the fact that a bass guitarist is the frontman of the greatest band in history just makes me wonder wy not everyone is voting for this man of british steel. i think cliff burton gets many sympathy votes due to his early passing, but he was NOT a better bassplayer, he was not a better songwriter (harris has written and co-written over 90(!!!)% of maidens songs)and no one has ever had a stronger passion than steve. i hope people read this comment and consider voting and listening to one of the great men of metal.

Terrible American bias on this list. Steve Harris should be number one without question.

Awesome bassist, founder and long time member of Iron Maiden

Steve should be higher than number 7! He is one of the greatest bassists of all time, he should definatly be in the top 3.

there is no better bass player the bass line in there music is much harder than the other six above him on your list so change it! p. s the other six above him wish they could get lessons from him but he his to busy teaching little kids to play better then them!

Iron Maiden, my favourite band ever. the rhythms he uses are genius and he is a rock god

He must be number one why the hell is flea ahead of him.

I Think he has a great galloping technique and if you haven't seen him play the watch a video of him.

Finally a list where the godly legacy is at least almost where it deserves to be. listen to the heartfelt powerful lyrics of any of their albums. thats all steve harris right there. he and bruce dickenson are the heart of iron maiden. listen too the galloping bass lines in the trooper and wrathchild. he was there through all of iron maidens ups and downs until, god forbid, he is unable to play or iron maiden collapses under its own greatness. STEVE HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT!
