IRON MAIDEN - Wrath Child (Bass Line)

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

When I was 12 years old listening to this album in 1983, I never imagined I would be 54 listening to this young girl playing the hell out of this, but you know what life is good!❤

[@3rdstone1]

Totally agree. I'm 58 with the same experience from -81.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@3rdstone1 in some ways a damn fine year and great memories!

[@3rdstone1]

@@jerrydonquixote5927 Couldn't be better! One could argue that Bruce is the better singer which I can understand, but Clive Burr's drumming on Killers is totally unreplacable. Among other things lol. And little Ellen totally gets it in this awesome video.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@3rdstone1 it's all good mostly I'm familiar with Bruce Dickens but Iron Maiden is Iron Maiden! Honestly in the early eighties this was the first sound that I'm aware of like this. Brings back some good and not so good memories.

[@leegmc1985]

Ditto. I am 58. In today's world it's more than amazing that there are kids playing 70s and 80s songs. Let alone listening to them. There is hope Left. ❤

[@PitfallHarry72]

Flawless. Ten years old and she plays like an old pro. Truly amazing.

[@terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725]

actually 12 years old now but yes Ellen is an amazing talent and dedicated to learning and getting even better

[@bradwest4821]

This brings us older folks joy. God bless this girl . Awesome! Follow those dreams!

[@smithc327]

As a 50 year old aspiring amateur musician dad to a talented musician daughter, these videos make my heart happy! Keep up the great work.

[@hubertwalters6345]

Come on Dad, don't cut the video until after that smile she does when she finishes. It show how much she enjoys playing.

[@fclefjefff4041]

They must be so tired of getting comments like this all day, every day. You wouldn't have said the same thing if she was a boy. Just shut up and appreciate her skills.

[@hubertwalters6345]

Seeing the joy that little girl shows when she gets a rift down brightens my day.

[@neoatorre]

Agreed

[@jugglerj0e]

I know that beaming smile 😁 is like a Sun 🌞

[@ItsTheGofa]

Totally amazed by you Ellen. You hear a bass line, you learn the bass line, you play the bass line, you own that bass line, every, single, time !!! WOW !

[@HarborSite-7]

This brings back some great memories. I remember learning this bass line as a 13 year old aspiring bass player in 1984. Those were the days! Maiden has always been one of my personal favorites, especially as a bass player following Steve Harris. This young lady makes it look so easy and is certainly way ahead of where I was at her age. Bravo Ellen!

[@3rdstone1]

Hearing bass lines like this on the Killers album back in early 80s made me realise that bass could be a cool instrument. Til this day I hold Killers as my favourite Maiden record, and still sometimes play this riff on my bass. 40+ years later, it's crazy how it holds on. And thanks to super amazing little Ellen for keeping this and other cool bass lines relevant in her incredible uplifting videos.

[@HarborSite-7]

@@3rdstone1 Right on my friend, you have good taste in music. It's nice to hear from a fellow bass guy who appreciates the chops of a great player like Harris. And yes what an excellent album _Killers_ was. Its U.S. release of May 11 fell exactly on my 10th birthday. 🤟

[@3rdstone1]

@@HarborSite-7 One could argue that Bruce was the better singer which I can understand (but not so important to me), but this album with the one and only Clive Burr on drums (more important) is totally amazing. The inspirations from 70s prog rock are also obvious here, even though Maiden did their own thing with this new modern heavy metal genre. Like I said, I'd never heard bass being played like this before. And damn, Murray's and Smith's awesome guitar work also made a huge impression. Such a perfect and classic album.

[@leokimvideo]

The prime era of Iron Maiden, this was done perfectly

[@3rdstone1]

Killers will always be my favourite album.

[@ruycarlosgerondejuniorgeronde]

Meu primeiro vinil da banda em 1981

[@bartbluemusic]

Iron Maiden is my all-time most favorite band ... and you nailed it! Great job! :)

[@robinblackmoor8732]

Did everybody notice how she had to look at her fingers? If you are wondering why, it is because Steve Harris basslines are not easy to play. She is doing it with tiny hands too. When she gets bigger and older, she is really going to be something extra special, if she is this good at this age.

[@jlobiafra]

Not to diminsh Steve harris but she plays way harder bass line than this.

[@robinblackmoor8732]

@jlobiafra She sure does, and she plays them well.

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

@@jlobiafraas can Steve

[@jlobiafra]

@Arthur-ke9vz ive never seen Steve play slap funk bass

[@robinblackmoor8732]

@@jlobiafra I never saw it either, but that does not mean he can't. The bass player from Haim did not play slap until she did. I think Ellen is trying to master many styles of bass. She is good enough to do that I think. Harris has mastered Iron Maiden bass lines.

[@jamesegan1661]

Steve Harris is the reason I play bass , I turn 60 this year , love your videos young lady , you rock

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Truly a formative Baseline for so many of my generation who were learning to play along with these albums in real time. And when I say albums I mean literally picking up the needle and moving it back across vinyl to play a part over and over again. It's great to see that these songs and the lessons inside the song craft still endure

[@kenwheeler3637]

Flawlessly done, Ellen. Steven Harris was a huge influence for me when I took up the bass back then. I think that he would be pleased to hear you playing this. Be sure to check out some more Iron Maiden songs. They've made some really amazing music throughout the years.

[@RickINFJ]

Ellen Maiden! 🤘 Crushed it per usual. 😀

[@peterkensing565]

Iron Maiden in den 80ern! Genau meine Musik!

[@maxpuppy96]

Excellent right hand technique as a bass player myself it is what I look for in a bass player, good timing. Excellent.

[@Thegrandpi]

Ellen, let's give your father a lot of credit here. This is one of the best sounding recordings on youtube. The actual soumd is 100 percent crystal clear. The drums fit perfectly with your bass playing. U didn't miss one note or hesitate for a second! A perfect.performance for a perfect recording. Also, thanku! It was more than the new standard of 15 seconds! I love it!! Thanks again for having the zoom meets. As I said before, Tina Guo also has them on Patreon. I wish Sierra Eagleson did the same, but she hasn't posted a thing since April. I think I'm going to ask my friends in my musical family if they even know about patreon. If they know how easy it us to use and communicate with fans. I think everyone is waiting for zoom to find a way to allow live performances. As you amd your father discovered, it's not easy to produce live music from your own studio or home. I think we will still be in limbo on this topic for at least another decade. The good news is that another amazing piece of tech awaits us all! I'm aureus this new tech will be amazing. It will be magical and just like Harry Potter giving us a tour of Howgarts. Best wishes always, Robert zeligson

[@johnglover4453]

Wow!! She just keeps getting better! That's a really deceptively tricky bassline, and she plays it so clean, so solidly!! Bravo, little one :)

[@christophercowan1645]

when she hit that first note I immediately was back in high school. Awesome!

[@victorchance1510]

Nice job Ellen Sounded flawless. 👍💓☮️🇨🇦☕🦫

[@3rdstone1]

Listening to this album as a 15yo shortly after it came out, I suddenly realised that bass can be an awesome instrument thanks to Steve Harris. I'm mostly a guitarist, but love playing bass as well (this riff is often played, it's just that catchy and brlliant lol). Til this day I hold the Killers album as my favourite Maiden album. Their prog rock inspirations would never be as obvious as on this record. And Clive Burr's (RIP) drumming is amazing. After that I discovered lots of other fantastic music during the decades. And regarding amazing Ellen: God bless her little heart for making us old folks prolong our lives at least one week every time we watch her uplifting videos. Also seeing young girls seriously aspiring on instruments, instead of hoping to be a star singer these days always gives me hope for the future.

[@jonizefox]

My fav intro of all Maiden songs.

[@effess8698]

Really well played. Great tone too. And what a great bassline it is... it shows that even from the early days Steve Harris was going to be one of the greatest. Up the Irons!! 🤘

[@TheBent139]

I had not seen Ellen play in some time. I guess she fell out of my algorithm. My goodness, what is she going to become if she continues with the bass? She could revolutionize the instrument. She plays these masters at such a young age. Great things to come for her. There is just no doubt.

[@paulorodrigues3288]

Não é a primeira vez que a vejo tocar; o que me chama atenção, é a menina tocar músicas até da década de 70. Não sei se gosta dessas músicas, ou se as toca por serem músicas bem compostas. Parabéns! Muito bom trabalho.

Ellen, the level of your talent is exponentially increasing. I know what you do takes a lot of work. I applaud you for your dedication to music and bass playing. Your dad is a great teacher. I love when both of you play. That beautiful smile of yours and that cute laugh when you know you slayed a song makes me smile as well. I can’t see it, but I know your dad is doing the same. BTW, I was really knocked out by your performance of Hysteria by Muse. Incredible dexterity.

[@Dahc99]

What do you call someone who sits on stage and watches musicians play instruments? A drummer. I'm 53 and I've been a drumner since I was a kid, and to this day I will never understand how someone learns how to play a guitar. People are jealous of my drumming, but I say Man I just hit things with sticks in rhythm. The talent it takes to play guitar I think far outweighs the talent required to play the drums. Good stuff young lady. Keep jamming. 🤘🤘 PS. Before somone inevitably comments that she's playing a bass not a guitar, I know. 🤣
