IRON MAIDEN's STEVE HARRIS: 'We’ve Always Done What We Wanted To Do Right From The First Album'

Patrick Prince of Goldmine magazine recently conducted an interview with IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris. An excerpt from the chat follows below.

Goldmine: Why did the band return to the recording studio in Paris [for "The Book Of Souls"]? Were you trying to recapture the same vibe as "Brave New World"?

Steve Harris: No, not at all. Basically, we knew it was a good studio. We felt comfortable there before. We knew the engineer there. We really like the sound in the room. And Bruce [Dickinson, vocals] wanted to be someone that was close to the U.K. and that was the obvious choice. It had nothing to do with the vibe of an album. When we make a new album, it doesn’t matter where it is. Even if we recorded somewhere before, it makes no difference to a new album, really.

Goldmine: You’ve claimed that the songwriting process was refreshing for this new album. Why is that?

Steve Harris: Normally, we would go into rehearsal where we would write and rehearse it and then we’d go and record afterward somewhere else. But this time we did it all in one place, so it was good because we’d write and rehearse a song and then put it straight down. Which makes a lot more sense, really, in a lot of ways. I mean, we actually really enjoyed it like that. But I think most people know that studios are so ridiculously expensive that most bands would rehearse in a rehearsal room first and that was normal. This time around we decided to go straight in there, and partly because there was going to be another band rehearsing (in the rehearsal room). We thought, we can’t be somewhere where we’d write a new album and have someone else listening to what we were doing next door, you know. [Laughs] So we decided to go straight into the studio, which is more private. It worked great. I think when we do another album, we’ll do the same thing again.

Goldmine: The opening track, "If Eternity Should Fail", reminds the listener of the influence that classic prog rock has had on your songwriting. In later years, do you think MAIDEN pushes itself creatively like those progressive bands did in the past — no-holds-barred, expansive and open?

Steve Harris: Well, that’s always been the case, really. We’ve always done what we wanted to do right from the first album, so there’s no difference there. It’s just that we do have difficulty writing short songs these days. I don’t know why that is. It’s just the way it evolved. There’s no real reason besides the fact that we do have all kinds of influences. Some of them being prog kind of stuff. But we’re not trying specifically to be like anything other than just writing what the songs we feel are right at the time. You know, we never really know what we’re going to write next. Which is part of the excitement when we go in and do a new album. No battle plan, we just go in and do it and what comes out, comes out. It’s only afterward, when we do interviews, when we try to analyze it. We don’t analyze what we do. We just do it.

Не могу понять, группа уровня Мэйденов не имеет своей собственной репбазы?

До 92 года, то-что надо, далее не воспринимаю всерьёз.

А смысл им иметь собственную реп-базу? Они альбомы-то клепают раз в 4-5 лет.

92 вершина? Это там где песни стали намного проще, а альбом состоит из сплошь и рядом не сочетающихся композиций? Ооок.

Ed Hunter

Такая вершина, что до сих пор держит первенство по количеству песен, не исполняемых на концертах

По мне мэйдены одна из тех немногих групп, где нельзя выделять вершину, потому что все альбомы вершины, каждая по-своему

И для чего интересно эта репбаза им сдалась? Вы в курсе, что участники коллектива живут в разных странах? У них нет необходимости постоянно репетировать весь год напролет. Они делают это или перед записью альбома, или готовясь к туру, или в промежутках между частями тура. То есть эта репбаза простаивала бы большую часть года, ноль рентабельности.
