Talk:Steve Harris (musician)

message: Reverted to the previous version, as I don't consider Steve the one and only who holds Iron Maiden together; The reason Bruce left in the early 1990s was because of several arguments with Steve.
True, but doesn't that tend to support the point rather than disprove it? I have no axe to grind, I'm just passing through, but Bruce did leave in 1993 and Iron Maiden did stay together. IF Maiden had split up then, the point would have been made, but they didn't ... they were still there when Bruce got back in 1999 :-)
Not true. Bruce left because he wanted to go in a different direction musically. His musical ideas were being rejected by Maiden.
The arguments are just a side note.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by WayneS1324 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

: "which he plays with only two fingers." - I think that's the scaring part...
Use of colloquial expressions and non standard grammar in this page, could really do with being altered to standard English. 82.42.159.167 00:22, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

But I'm not 100% when he was really born.

replies: text: The Maiden biography I've got, and a few websites, say 1956. I wish people would stop changing it. --Mark (Talk | Contribs | Email) 17:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I was there, Steve let everyone know he was 50. But still, the biography I've got isn't official, but it is quite reputable. Also, the general consensus seems to lead to 1956. --Mark (Talk | Contribs | Email) 16:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Steve Harris has been Iron Maiden's principal keyboardist (other than at live shows and on a few songs where the work has been done by Michael Kenny) since keyboards were first used by the band on the album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
---This is not true. Somewhere in time was the first maiden album where they used Michael Kenny with keyboards and he uses three fingers as if he was using two, the index and the other two moving at the same time
Juan
Somewhere in Time had synths not keys

message: I have changed "exceptional" to "talented". 'Exceptional' in a pro football context would mean that he ought to be playing for England now ... (which would be bad for us Maiden followers!). Please refer the following interview:
Shockwaves: Weren't you actually going into professional soccer at one point, before forming Iron Maiden?
Steve: Yeah, I had trials but I didn't quite make the grade.

message: This article is POV, "talented football player" "Harris's songwriting has been noted for, a galloping bass pattern (see below)and long, epic songs that feature many tempo changes" "Steve Harris is often considered among the best and most influential heavy metal bassists. "While he has proven skill with keyboards and at producing a synthesised sound," blah blah - All these claims have no references, tag's staying on until this kind of crap is removed.

message: The article currently says: Since the 1980s, Harris has owned a Grade II listed building in Sheering Essex, in the grounds of which he built his own recording and editing studio, "Barnyard". In November 2012, the nine-acre property was put on sale.
It's officially called "Sheering Hall", and in 2015 he marked the price down to just under 5M GBP.
