I never realized how good the bass line was on this song until I saw this cover.

Cheers ! I think Harris is much more creative when he's not the author of the song...

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

The bridge/solo section is so damn fine. That mix of nice little melodies, then fast forward and so on is just brilliant.

[@lgaf1819]

GREAT

[@raulalbanoquintana4786]

Yeah!!

[@gordonevans8632]

The beast is reborn. Once again thank you mister Gerome ( no idea how to get those things above the E and the O in you name, I apologize for that )however my poor grammar aside, your a great bassist, wish the albums had the bass so high in the mix.

Thank you ;) And you need to switch your keyboard to French or Canadian-French to get the accents. ^^ DG

[@Ericlk77]

Contrats for the wonderfull cover. And contrats for Steve the genius

Thanks ;)

[@mrdsrma]

wow!!!!!

[@CALIBRE88]

muy bueno joder

Gracias ;)

[@dasaten]

Dude, you even got the bass. Whoa.

Cheers ;)

[@danzemacabre8899]

It's tuned down a half step,no biggie, sounds great just threw me off when began playing along! It just kinda shocked me when I didn't notice right off the bat, I usually pick up on something like that quickly. I believe the cover that Testament did was tuned down also, but not sure, it's a great cover, by the way, they did it justice, and respectfully I might add

[@mattharris2398]

Nice playing

Cheers ;)

[@kobolwald]

Slave of the power of,,,,,,,,,,,,Didier, s cover

[@jeanaymart130]

WOUAHOU ! (comme d'hab', en fait...)

[@croreddwarf]

Ac/dc could make 15 albums out of this

Indeed !

[@croreddwarf]

@ i'm glad we share opinion.You are THE master.Cheers!

[@bruce_sat4n66]

Nah

[@serroche]

Perfect cover mate! I mostly play guitar but when I grab a bass is this one or The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. Great work!

Cheers ;)

[@chrisk920]

Watch him do mariner as well. That’s also on his KZbin channel. It is 100% flawless 👍 probably one of the most difficult bass songs in metal that you can play correctly

[@bobafatt2155]

Awesome shirt

Cheers ;)

[@franciscojavierruedapuerta4208]

Thanks!!

[@article1582]

I wish I was half this good.

[@chrisk920]

It’s that three finger gallop technique. I could never quite get it myself after years and years of practice. This guy pulled it off flawlessly. Bravo!

[@janrise3247]

I've heard most of your Maiden covers, and all of them are fantastic. I have also watched your instruction videos on how to play like Steve Harris, and was inspired right away. Now I am practising real hard on The Trooper, Aces High, and Phantom of the Opera. It's getting better every minute, but sometimes it is dufficult to keep the galloping going for a whole song. Especially when it comes to the Trooper. At the end of this one my fingers often get stiff, and I have to struggle to get through. Does that happen to you sometimes or have you found the teqnique which makes your fingers relax no matter what? And: which Maiden song, if any, do you find the most challenging to play? Thank you for your answer😊

Thanks a lot. I'm glad you like my covers. Galloping for a whole song is sometimes challenging, especially on stage when the drummer accelerates (drummers' habit lol). My technique is to stretch my arm as much as possible while playing. You so need to have your bass low enough to just have to lift your right shoulder to do so. It helps you finish the song. And between songs, Aïkido wrist stretching techniques are also very efficient. Remember the more your arm is bent the slower your playing, for you need all the energy straight to the fingers with your arm as straight as possible. To know if your bass is rightfully placed, you could play naked on stage without being arrested haha ;) Take care mate ;)

[@janrise3247]

Didier GÉRÔME Thanks a lot for your advice.

[@danielrivera9788]

Wow! I gotta find me a bass player like that

Cheers mate! Where do you live ?

[@danielrivera9788]

@ cheers mate! I live in Texas- where do you live?

[@Enriway]

Mortal como tocas y suena ese bajo

Merci ! Check my next videos, I'll talk about galloping. Hit the bell ;) Cheers mate !

[@Enriway]

[@MdHasan-rq9pu]

OMG sir you are twain brother of steap heris ..

[@fernandobustillo6836]

men u rock playing the bass\m/ , should try revelations song

Thanks, I play Revelations with my band but not in a cover yet. Maybe soon ;) Cheers for the compliment mate !

[@marlonlorencetti]

Great cover! What kind of equipment do you use to get the Steve Harris sound? Also, how do you set your EQ?

Márlon Allan Lorencetti HEY. thanks for the compliment. My sound is directly produced with my bass on logic pro x with plugins : Logic EQ & Waves C1 comp.. that's it ! But the sound is mainly obtained with his special finger touch that I learned ;)

[@marlonlorencetti]

STOUPY Didier-Gérôme thanks! Keep posting 😀

[@Neogeofanatic]

super toucher super son

Merci ;)

[@ricardocorrea984]

Talvez o lp o disco that I loved more ?

[@Clearico]

Tesa!

[@damowilliams204]

Tidy! Good cover. What tuning did you use for this?

Hey, 432 Hz

[@jimdena08]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@lanehodnett8222]

Is the song down half a step for this? It’s usually in A/E/B minor but it sounds like everything is tuned down 1/2 step or maybe even a whole step

Yes I know, I'm sorry for this... You can have the melodic part in tune here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qrlJiuZsZlrbc DG

[@orangutan1700]

@ Sounds very good tuned down like this, I will play it tuned down from now on. Wait a minute, is it also lower in tempo? The last slide down on guitars in the song makes me thing the tempo is also reduced. Can you clarify why this was done? It sounds very interesting and novel. The usual reason people loathe playing in Iron Maiden cover bands is because its fast and the vocals are high pitch. Both can be alleviated a little bit by just lowering tempo and key, and I could have an Iron Maiden cover band soon. What do you think?

[@JohnBradydoesstuff]

You may have already done this and if so I apologize for my ignorance, but it would be wonderful if you could do a video talking about your rig and bass setup. Your ability to get the Maiden tone is very impressive. When I get the treble correct, all the bass drops out. I would greatly appreciate a video on this. As always, much love and appreciation for your work.

Hello John. Thanks for your comment and request. I'll think about it. Meanwhile, you can visit my website where my gear is displayed and where you can purchase it by clicking on the links. www.didiergerome.com/my-gear

[@monstermashoffical6593]

Hey, do you play the maiden songs with two or three fingers?

Hi, I explain everything here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roK5enabnM-Yf6s

[@Airside98]

Hello Didier,super cover,c'est un choix de ta part de le jouer en bémol?Ce qui n'enleve rien à la super prestation

Hey Olivier, merci. Non c'est une erreur d'accord de Logic mais une fois qu'il était trop tard.

[@heavyribassmaiden4924]

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any 'easier' song for a begginer bass player???

Wasted Years

[@heavyribassmaiden4924]

@ Thanks brother!!!!

[@abuyindjadiribnomarkalidbe3618]

Balls to the wall was my first song, but Sweating Bullets is cool too

[@bmphil3400]

Running Free is not too bad.....just those few triplet and octave runs......

[@Valeron5]

Did Steve Harris have a black Fender P in the video Wrathchild?

Possible, he used many... even jazz basses in the early days...

[@Johnintveld]

Jou play it in A like the original but it comes out half a note lower. Why that?

Dunno. I stuck to the file I got and it might have been keyed down.

[@baranugur8617]

Man why did you play on G# instead of A? Could be the best steve cover ever, still you rock \m/

Thank you ! I know it's a shame the whole song is in G#... Because I sillily didn't pay attention to the actual frequency of the orignal file of the song i got from the Internet. I simply tuned my bass on it ! I know it's a bit awkward and I avoided the same mistake on my subsequent vids. Sorry about that... Thanks for the warmth of your words anyway. I hope you'll watch my other vids. Up the Iron mate !

[@geraldguiton2534]

Ancien bassiste, il me semble que ce morceau est relativement abordable, tout comme "wasted years" sur l' album Somewhere in Time.

Bonjour, sur le plan de l'endurance effectivement, après c'est une question de feeling. Bien à vous. DG

[@welshphantom8964]

Nice job ;)

[@waaaweee6934]

what bass is that ?

Steve Harris's signature model.

[@chrisk920]

You could make $100,000 a year just going to music stores and playing that quietly in the background. They will sell at least 10 of those bases a day, priced no option.🙂👍

[@metallourgos521]

Great thanx you Gerome, but why you are a half tone down ??

[@suicideistheanswer369]

i knew something was off

[@AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee]

Probably to avoid a copyright strike

[@chrisk920]

No, he’s not. He’s in perfect tune! What are you talking about?

[@AllbeeHivezChristianAllbee]

@@chrisk920 I believe he’s referring to the track as a whole.

[@videosdeecologia7468]

Bassgasm 🤣

Cheers ;)

[@Headbanger9000]

Sounds like youre in Eb here still awesome though

Cheers, yup I detuned the song, sorry.

[@patrikmicek3311]

@ because its slower. isnt it? the speed of song is slower than original

[@nakoete8521]

I think it sounds better in Eb, but if you prefer the E version and you're on desktop, using the custom speed setting 1.05x will make it close to E. Keep in mind that the pitch shift only works for .95 or 1.05 tho

[@justdelavega5103]

Me parece, que está medio tono abajorespecto al natural, si no me equivoco

Si ;)

[@justdelavega5103]

@ de todas maneras, gran cover

[@valterneto8814]

Hey, here is my 2015 cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaDZm5KGo7x-Z8k And a medley of various Iron Maiden tricky parts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qrlJiuZsZlrbc Take care. DG

[@rafalzubek2788]

@ awesome,mate...keep it up....up the irons

[@arthz9759]

Which is your favourite Maiden bass line??

Hey, I have several... My favourite to play are Invaders, 22 acacia ave, losfer words, moonchild..

[@chrisk920]

Mariner, it’s like marinara sauce. It’s got everything in it for a bass player.!!!!

[@alexpaurazas4083]

Why did you slow the original track just curious I’m not doubting your talent as a bassist

Hey, I didn't, I just detuned it. And why, damn, I just don't know ! DG

[@MadeOfHate18]

Your cover is like: rec the video, mute my bass and add a song. You play like Harris! :D
