Billy Sheehan is one of the best bass players ever, who has got one of the worst bass sounds ever. I've always wondered what is the cause of that, so I have checked it and found that he uses the worst of the worst: DiMarzio pickups, which are one of the most terrible thing that could ever happen to the world, as cold as ice, as static as a stone, no dynamics at all. And to make it even worse, guess what: they are ACTIVE too!!!
He really tries to sound like shit, despite being excellent. Mah...
muito, muito bom... *-* A música é perfeita... show de bola! I was a soldier with no regrets Walking on a fence Falling back on my feet again There was a vision decisions made To mold me out of clay Taking away my wings The man I'm supposed to be Now is the enemy I wonder who I am Will I be someone to remember After the glory ends Hiding in my disguise I'm a stranger, a stranger in my life (...)
@lucasfernandessi You know what this is about? Him seeing a soldier in an airport who was sitting by himself almost as if he was invisible to everyone around him, Eric approached him, gave him a slight wave, and said, "Thank you for what you do." No idea if the soldier knew who he was, but I could only hope he at some point knows that he inspired this song. Eric was thinking, how someone could be a hero to one country, & the enemy to another... very thought provoking. Eric is a genius.
@Suzisueful I met Eric Martin in Kansas city...he told me his dad was stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. I was in the Army at the time. His dad was pretty high rank, I dont remember if he said he was an officer or maybe a Sgt. Maj? But everytime I think of military anything, I think of me and Eric's conversation that day. (circa 1993)
@TheCaskOf43 First, I want to say thanks to YOU for your service to our country. I know the sacrifice is unimaginable to someone like me. Second, very cool you met Eric, I saw him w/Mr. Big this August in Foxboro, MA, could have met him after the show, & wish I'd had- unfortunately been suffering w/medical issues that bring a lot of pain, & by the shows end, I had to go. I hope someday I will meet him though. He is amazing.
Roll on Download. These guys do not make a great album... but they are ELECTRIC live. Um.... this IS a great album. I might explode with excitement between now and June!!! And I'm a sensible and responsible adult... but this was SOOO worth deferring an exam for :) :)
