ClarkW Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 From YouTube, a very enlightening and, in my opinion, humble interview from Billy Sheehan on the subject of knowing theory. And it casts a little light on ZZ Thorn's report that Billy was there to see Jeff Berlin as well. EDIT: Here's another part of the interview (the 1st part is mostly about the nuts and bolts of his bass) where he talks about how he does a lot of "boring, horrible-sounding, ugly" exercises to fix "the stuff I suck at." I think that kind of dedication shows why he can share the stage with many of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZ Thorn Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Very cool video. He is flying on that fretboard! He seems like a very down-to-earth, decent guy. I just checked, and he's 53! 53 and still rocking! He doesn't look 53 either - rock and roll keeps you young, they say. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That vidio really makes me feel better, I almost know as much about music theory as Billy Sheehan. I feel better now. Rocky "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb, voting on what to eat for lunch.

Fred TBP Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Originally posted by ZZ Thorn: He seems like a very down-to-earth, decent guy. On my copy of his latest CD he wrote "I'm still learning, too!" (he's everything you said, ZZ) I'll be buying another CD at the next tour in Sept-Oct (fingers crossed). (Better not miss that one, me buckaroos, because seeing three monster bassists for the price of one is the deal of the year, if not the decade.) BTW, I'll be 53 in July. Didn't think he was older than me, but he does take care of himself better than I have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
