[Wag2112]

Thanks for posting !!!! Great capture - to who ever filmed it !!

[TheCoreyMilne]

Have I just witnessed Billy Sheehan finger his wife? 

[guillotinedeath]

this guy is a beast!

[jeevesthepunk]

two words describe Billy Sheehan. The second is "Shit". The first is "The"

[PAsdOUm]

I don't know how people can compare Cliff and Billy. They don't play at all in the same way.

[MattBodossian]

@PAsdOUm because they both are from simular era and played the bass damn simular to a guitar

[PAsdOUm]

@MattBodossian Yeah but there are many different ways to play guitar! And Metallica and Talas don't play the same music at all! But it is true, they've played on simular era.

[MattBodossian]

@PAsdOUm i know there are different ways to play the guitar but cliff and sheehan both play the bass like how guitarists play solos and sheehans style is allloooooooooottttt more technical then cliffs but there definetely are simularities. plus there realy the only 2 from that era who played bass in that guitar like way

billy sheean is bad ass...

[lyrrad999]

i thought cliff burton was the fastest bass shredder until i see this video

[Kimberly14787]

This brings back memories to the Caboose in Fredonia!!

[TheHiwattScott]

@reality717 Thats what I said. Billy came WAY before Cliff

[vermere]

This still sounds groundbreaking and amazing after all this time. And to watch him get that sound out of a Fender Precision Bass just adds to the awe and wonder of it. He is one of the greatest players ever.

[godofthunder59]

The "wife" is retired but as far as I know he still has her.

[godofthunder59]

I used to go watch Talas and Billy at the Penny Arcade in Rochester NY I think the first time I saw them was around '76-'77 Billy is way before Cliff. His P bass I believe is a '73 with a Telecaster bass neck.As I recall he put the Tele neck on because thats what Tim Bogart did. The bass has two inputs one for the stock Precision pick up and one for the Gibson mudbucker at the bass of the neck Ma I for got how good he is. Way ahead of his time.

[DLI848]

What kind of bass is that? Looks like a Fender Precision, but he uses Yamaha.

[MrRocknRollJoe]

@DLI848 His first bass which he customized himself. He calls it the wife.

[rallyivan1234]

@AMIRAALIBEER In the same year had replaced Pete Way UFO

[justcaptjack]

[Transamstance]

[Archive625]

[borcemiovski]

what are you talking about,billy plays since mid 70's,cliff was 10,12 years old when sheehan played

[ekalb2185]

he's really good but Cliff Burton came first then Billy Sheehan, but then again Bill can shred and I like his bass shred style

[jjthepuffplane2005]

@ekalb2185 billy def came before cliff...

[godofthunder59]

@ekalb2185 No way Cliff came before Billy Talas was formed in '72

[Reality717]

@godofthunder59 Cliff born in 1962 he was just 21-22 years old when Billy was playing in this style for many years :)

[Zaper692]
