Steve Harris è notoriamente un appassionato di prog; lo testimonia lo stile che ha impresso agli Iron Maiden mescolando a piene mani frammenti di prog nella loro musica Heavy Metal.
E ora trovo questo come conferma

In an interview with Loudwire back in 2020, Steve Harris said he was really shy when he met Genesis ex-singer Peter Gabriel. The two played tennis together and Harris had to hold himself back from being too “fanboy”.
“I ended up playing tennis with Peter Gabriel once. Just because he was on the court in the same hotel as me. I don’t know if he even knew who I was, but I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to get tongue-tied. I didn’t want to act like a fanboy, even though I felt like one. When you’re into bands that much, you don’t really think about working with them,” Harris further explained. “You never really have a chance. You tend to put them on a pedestal.”
