Because he's trying to write all the possible combinations using C-D and E

Maybe it's easier to remember his new lines
OK just joking. Being a die-hard maiden and especially Harris fan, I'd say he does play this way now, because he wants to play this way. Can you say they are bad bass lines? Can you say those are bad songs? Me I admire them all, both old and new ones. Sorry, I can't be objective when the subject is Maiden. And can you say that this is a wrong way they've done? Yes the first two albums are great but if they've continued the sound of their first albums, we wouldn't have such legendary (at least for me) albums like Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son. So their music changed along the way as Steve's playing and choices of bass lines.
AFAIK Steve is a nice person but when the subject is his music, he wouldn't accept anything about Maiden as long as he doesn't want to do it. Of course those are just opinions. And I believe nobody will ever know what really happened when Blaze has left (or kicked) and Bruce and H returned to Maiden. They don't talk much about it and all the other thing you hear are not facts but some tales. I wouldn't believe a word which is not coming from the boys and Rod Smallwood.
So thats never going to happen again?Its sad to hear...But you can't make a choice between Bruce and the sound can you,he's special for sure.
These lines I'm talking about are not only in the first two albums,in every album until Brave New World and thats when Arry's tone definately changed.
