In my opinion it is not perfect.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3kAobQ4LxM
I listen to it and it is not as perfect as other mosnter bass players..In my opinions on some verses it is very on top of the bit almost rushing. Don`t get mad I am a fan of Steve

If you're talking about the studio version (or any other version I've come across) then I'm not sure what you're going on about. Were he to make a timing error in recording, it would have been binned straight away...

The timing can be off even if Steve's playing were totally accurate. No, it can't throw the bass off the rest of the music, but it can fool you into thinking that's the case.
And let's not forget, for all their supposed virtuosity, sometimes these metal superstars are just wanking so hard and so fast that it's kind of a blur anyway.
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble now.

I always thought that he almost made it in West Ham, the team that he supports until present day, from London.
Steve sounds very good to me here, as usual.
On the subject, people who play dead on time are boring. Janick is always very sloppy, and he is my favorite Maiden guitar player. |

Tempo is everyone's responsibility, not just drums and bass.
Whatever, they can still rock. |

Its like half the band is trying to push it along and the other half are dragging. But then again just because Maiden play stadiums does not mean they are not immune to nerves if they played a small soundstage gig under glaring studio lights with a camera crew milling around.
Got to love Harris's tone on this though, its like Geezer Butler's Paranoid tone on steroids. Shove this in the face of anybody who says flats cannot rock.
