A few months ago Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill said he would love to record with Iron Maiden, then Rob Halford said that he even had the idea for a British Big 4. And now Maiden bassist and leader Steve Harris has said he wants a joint tour of the bands.
Now Harris has responded, during an episode of Eddie Trunk’s Trunk Nation show on Sirius XM
During Eddie Trunk’s Nation Show, Steve Harris said:
“”It’s funny because I saw [Halford’s comments in the media] myself. And also, apparently someone today said that [Judas Priest bassist] Ian Hill said something about it as well. I suppose the management has gotta get their heads together and [make] something like that [happen].”But, yeah, why not? I suppose the fans can push for it to happen. But we’ll see.”
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden & British Lion dropped by TRUNK NATION on Tuesday to hang with Eddie Trunk … catch the whole shebang again anytime you want, via SiriusXM on-demand!

Harris also recalled when in 1981, Iron Maiden was the opening band of Judas Priest in the Point of Entry tour.
Steve Harris said:
“[I have] lots of good memories,” he said. “And I really love that album, ‘Point Of Entry’. Some people don’t think it’s their favorite Priest album. But I suppose ’cause we were on tour [with Priest when they were supporting] it, I really liked it.”
