I think they deserve better reviews and more than few questions about thier latest albums!!

I'm not at all familiar with Sheehan but I get the idea that, as a forefront bass player, he's kind've an outsider. He doesn't receive the same journalistic attention as other players given similar roles in music. However--I have no idea what his music is like, I've only heard a couple of tracks. I liked them a lot but he was not doing anything flashy.

Just my 2 cents on Sheehan.

Neat stuff--not necessarily what I want to listen to all the time but Sheehan has a very well-crafted technique.

Billy Sheehan has been on the cover more than almost anyone. He was even on the cover of the first issue, which I have autographed and framed.

I saw Billy with Steve Vai in 2005, what a great show, and it's cool that Billy can lay down a solid groove (and sing!) but turn it on and tear it up when the time is right.

Would you sell it smile
i wasn't asking for cover feature his album should be reviewed properly not the same way like an emo band bassist.
