So,
Bruce, the pilot. Adrian the fisherman. Janick, the sociologist. Nicko, the restaurant owner. And Steve... the interior designer?!?!

What about Dave then? The last time he was asked what he was doing for a living, he smiled and answered "Yes", which was not very helpful...

This interview is just great. The lady is really spontaneous and she has managed to get Steve's interest and got some long and nice answers.

 

[The_7th_one]

That's because she doesn't ask him the same bloody questions that every journalists have been ask him trough all this 40 years of career.
I suppose that she couldn't ask him about the new Maiden studio album. But she made a good point respect him because he's doing promotion with other band and it's different stuff you know.

 

[Brigantium]

New album is due this week.

 

[harrisdevot]

Got my CD today. I went to my record seller asking if I would get my CD on friday, and he told me he had just received it, and accepted to sell it to me . Great packaging, great booklet, great sound, great songs. And the singer is perfect, really. I love the whole thing and I'm damn happy .

 

[Brigantium]

Splendid! I look forward to getting mine tomorrow or Friday, then.

There is a music video for the song The Burning.

 

[TheTalisman]

New British Lion album out now on digital platforms

Streaming the album on Spotify.

I will propably get the cd later.

There is a music video for the song The Burning.

The scenery looks like that of the "Be Quick or Be Dead" video, but I'm not enough of an expert in industrial design to suggest it is the exact same location.

Steve Harris: British Lion Band Keeps Me From Writing Long Songs

If you're wondering why there's no massive prog songs from British Lion, here's why.

In a recent interview, he named his 6 favorite Maiden's bass lines:
1.Phantom Of The Opera
2.Innocent Exile
3.Run To The Hills
4.Where Eagles Dare
5.To Tame A Land
6.The Red And The Black

Edit: It surprised me that Steve doesn't mention ''The Clairvoyant'' as a favorite bass line.

The most iconic bass riffs in the metal giants' catalogue, according to the man himself

Funny how Steve mentions Spanish influence for TRATB but doesn't mention it for To Tame a Land, whose middle section is clearly based on Isaac Albéniz's Asturias.

I looked that up, there's a hint of it of Mother Russia as well

Yep. The middle section of To Tame a Land is almost a direct rip-off though.

Giving the album a spin now. First track in and the production is great, definitely the best Steve has done.

Vocals are a lot higher in the mix than the first album, I realised he sings a lot like Bono. The bass is also mixed at the level of a normal Harris sound not dominating like the last album

 

[srfc]

There's an almost Bill Gould bassline in the middle of Father Lucifer!

Steve: British Lion band keeps me from writing long songs...

Let's hire them for Maiden too. "Steve: You can have only three songs longer than five minutes on each album, and only one of those can be longer than 8 minutes." Please Dear God let that happen. I know, I know, people like the "epics," but a guideline like that would make the albums SOOO much stronger.

 

[Maturin]

Album's GREAT. Not sure about the chorus of "The Burning" though. Maybe should have been half- or full-step down? He's really reaching and unlike Bruce doesn't sound while doing it. Could easily have been smoothed out with some backing vocals I guess, but other than that a solid performance throughout the album.

 

[Brigantium]

, I realised he sings a lot like Bono. The bass is also mixed at the level of a normal Harris sound not dominating like the last album

Funny, I heard U2 in Lightning, and not just because of the vocals. It reminds me of the Unforgettable Fire era.
