I met Billy several times in my teens/early 20's and being a stupid kid I tried to get him to badmouth other players or bands and he would never say a bad thing about anyone. Such a classy guy!
When he said "yes" to pineapple on pizza, I was about to throw away all my Talas, Winery Dogs, Mr Big, DLR CD's... and then he said "Jimi Hendrix"... OK he saved himself LOL In all seriousness, I got to meet Billy Sheehan a few years ago and he truly is one of THE MOST down to earth, humble musician I ever met. Just an all around great man.
Billy is a really nice approachable guy. I talked to him for a while after a Mr. Big concert here in Nashville 3 years ago. Very nice and talked to just a nobody like me. He said he was thinking of moving to Nashville, and he did.
Billy is such a great musician and even better person… he is probably the greatest bassist of all time, but he is still down to earth. He’s not cocky like a Lot of celebrities, he have a big heart and he really Love His fans… and i’m know what i am talkin bout… thank you Billy!
Always a class act. Billy Sheehan is an absolutely iconic musician who is on another level. One of my favorite musicians period. A good Question would have been Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert?
Saw Billy on the eat em n smile tour at providence civic center RI. Master talent! Now I want to shoot a few racks n try some apple porkchops! Love ya billy
I remember then when I personally saw Billy Sheehan came here in the Philippines. Very down to earth and cool person! God bless Billy, the great bass player of all time!
Remember seeing Billy Sheehan with Talas in 1977. They were playing at Delaware park in Bflo. Before they went onstage, Billy was combing his hair with the largest comb I have ever seen ! L.O.L.
Pat Torpey forever... It's so nice interviews like that... Billy Sheehan the GOAT... What about Eric Martin next time?? And Paul Gilbert as well?? #MrBig #EricMartin #BillySheehan #PaulGilbert #PatTorpey
I saw this video upon the release. And held back on this comment. But, here it goes. Who would Billy want to bring back to life? The great Pat Torpey. I expected that and was not surprized at all. But damn...I was teary eyed. Watching this again, I wish Pat was still around.
Right handed rock players often are hard of hearing in the left ear because that's the ear pointed towards the amps. You can tell he's got those battle scars.
I agree with most of what he said. The only thing i would have changed from this is have the camera on a tri pod, that guy holding the cam kept moving.
I'd choose Billy to be with on that desert island. I've met him once and he was really easy to hang out with. With his can-do attitude we wouldn't be on that island for very long
Amen to music being free in schools!! I'm in the UK and when I was in primary school (late 70s, early 80s) music tuition was free. Not only that, but school instruments were lent out for free as well. Now music lessons are so expensive that only the well off can afford them. Music is truly a life skill; once you've learnt, it'll always be with you, even if you change instruments.
That's not what he said, it's was about the music industry as a whole should invest time and money in music at a school level (because it's in the best interest for them) much like Intel or Apple do in education. Industry supporting industry and not government handouts (like the UK). So don't twist peoples words for your political agenda.
@@kalidesu This was my experience not a political agenda. 🤣😂 Music in schools is so exciting expensive now that only few can afford it. Yeah, it needs to be financed somehow and private investment would be one way.
Almost cried when he said he'd bring back Pat.
me too
yes, big feels on that one
Totally ...
Wasn't that an absolutely fantastic & beautiful answer to that question?! We would bring Pat back too! 💞
So did I
Billy is the most humble and simple rockstar ever!!

that guy holding the cam kept moving.

THERE'S NO KETCHUP ON HOT DOGS!
That was Fun!!
"Beatles... No doubt." Oh no, Billy chose No Doubt over The Beatles!
He looks good !!
