...& is he not a better guitarist than Iommi?
Congratulations, you have officially created a controversy where there was none. No one is bashing Steve or saying Adrian is to be credited for all good things Maiden. That's absurd, and I challenge you to find a single serious post on this thread [EDIT: hell, on this entire forum] that bashes Harris' contributions to Maiden. (His solo album is another matter, of course, but I didn't love Adrian's side project either.) Your last two posts might be the silliest posts I have seen in this forum in a long, long while.For some of you (and that's an old debate), Adrian is to be credited for all the good things in Maiden, and Steve has to be blamed for the rest. Are you serious ? I'm always surprised when I read some comments about "the most creative member", the "only perfectionnist", and all that stuff. I think he is GIVEN more space, but he is rightly kept under control. Has he invented Metal or what ? Is he the new Tony Iommi ? I mean, he is not even the best guitar player in Maiden, and he is certainly not the best songwriter : how could a man who has penned 3 songs on his own (yes, three !) be awarded that title. I understand unconditionnal admiration, but I cannot understand why any discussion on Maiden's music ends with a Steve bashing by some of you. Yoiu will rightly say that I myself am bashing Adrian. Yes, but Maiden is Steve's band, and that makes a huge difference.
You're giving harrisdevot's deranged rantings WAY too much credit.Adrian deserves all the praise given him. He is Adrian Smith, after all.
But I think it's fair to say this forum sometimes creates the perception we take Steve for granted.
There should be no doubt he is the heart of our favourite band.
Now I certainly don't want to do that. ;-)You're giving harrisdevot's deranged rantings WAY too much credit.
Sure.Don't get me started. Picard can't hold Kirk's jock. <<Ducks.>>
If the nation you are talking about is Canada.I must confess, I don't get the joke with the misspellings. And I never watch Star Trek. But Shatner is a national treasure:

Because you are a fanboy of Adrian Smith.Now I certainly don't want to do that. ;-)
But I, for one, have rarely posted praise for Steve. I just take it for granted that I dont need to.
I mean, why would I frequent an Iron Maiden site if I didn't think he was pure awesomeness?
Indeed. Anymore.anymore.
