The man is a musical genius. The way he arranges songs is insane.

How refreshing to just listen to a man with level of talent and accomplishment and not hear a single hint of conceited ness.

One of my goals in life is to buy Steve Harris a pint, shake his hand and say thanks.

Steve is for me the living incarnation of integrity.
And his faith in music is...incredible. 45 years to carry IM and still passionate. A lesson for anybody 👊 so much respect...

I'm sure he knows he's the best. But his delivery is so humble and down to earth. He's such an authentic human being

Steve Harris and Cliff Burton are the 2 people that inspired me to pick up my first bass 4 months ago. 2 hours of practice a day and learning unique tricks are making this very fun. As a maiden fan, thank you Steve for being so strong and consistent through the years with your melodic and unique bass lines.
