Happy 70th birthday to Steve Harris, born March 12, 1956. As the driving force behind Iron Maiden since forming the band in 1975, Harris remains its only constant member and, along with guitarist Dave Murray, the only musician to appear on every Iron Maiden album.
Through Harris’ vision and leadership, Iron Maiden has grown into one of the most enduring and powerful acts in heavy metal, still commanding massive audiences decades into their career. His distinctive galloping bass style is legendary, providing the thunderous propulsion that defines the band’s sound. Watch Iron Maiden live at the Rainbow in 1980
