Billy Sheehan playing Bach piece Yamaha Clinic Chihuahua

[Blacksplayer]

" One of the greatest bass player "

We can read reallly funny things on youtube nowadays..

His solos are always shit. He has no theory and any jazz fusion could hear it,

sometimes it just so horrible..

[jeanlemarchais]

He has an incredible talent ; i never seen a bass player like him...

[dudufada]

scientology makes more sense than christianity so hes not that bad!

[TheSonsofHorusx]

why is he so wet jeez

[6672rock]

While I vehemently disagree with that scientology he's into, his talent on the bass can't be denied.  His technique is razor-sharp!

[rhbcweatherdude]

I have always wondered if I'm related to him....we have the same last name, and my family is all musicians. Hmmm....

[JonnoThomas]

Sooo bass clinic is where a bunch of amazing bassist just shred on stage and put you to shame and shatter all of your dreams? Where do I sign?????!!!!!!

[4JayeP]

Bill learned that entire piece by ear. Amazing player, amazing guy. As far as his personal beliefs go, I've never had a problem with Bill. He doesn't push his beliefs on other people.

[ralphM1114]

after 1 minute of destroying the dreams of all the bass players in the room... "now, the solo... IT'S THE HARD PART." WTF. billy sheehan is so epic.

[donovanhelsing]

Que pieza es?

[WhoArtThough]

I can't believe such a fine talent is a scientologist. So sad...

[itachi456789]

@WhoArtThough I can't believe someone so ignorant would try and make a stupid connection to two unrelated things.......oh wait

[WhoArtThough]

@itachi456789 do you honestly know what scientologists believe? OBVIOUSLY there is no connection between his amazing bass playing skills and the religion he chooses to practice, I just think that anyone who would buy into what is no more than another piece of science fiction by L. Ron Hubbard has a few screws loose. I invite you to do your own research on the church of scientology and then re-consider my statement. I doubt you'll disagree.

[itachi456789]

@WhoArtThough If there is no connection then there was no need to mention that. I honestly believe that the scientology is a cult mess is just another idiotic conspiracy theory, and the people who bash them are no better than the atheists who bash christians and vice versa. And I have done a bit of research.

[WhoArtThough]

@itachi456789 I'll have you know that I am one of those atheists who bash Christians. And clearly you have not done enough research. Are you aware of their creation story? Xenu? If you see no fault in that, then you yourself have a problem as well. Scientology is undeniably a cult, and if you can't see that I question you as a person. Scientology is through and through, without a doubt, SCIENCE FICTION and I therefore question anyone who subscribes to this system of belief, Mr Sheehan included.

[itachi456789]

@WhoArtThough That's the thing. In religion, you can believe in whatever you want to, without fear of persecution. Or, atleast in an ideal world. It's people like you that ruin that idea of that by forcing your opinion down everyone's throat instead of just accepting the fact that not everyone thinks like you do.

[WhoArtThough]

@itachi456789 ok, but when, in order to advance within the church, members are required to pay exorbitant amounts of to move from one OT level to the next -I'm taking over hundreds of thousands of dollars- it's hard to question the validity. Sure, Christianity has a similar practice with the Offering, but that's optional. Religion is not capitalism.I am begging you to go look at their creation story and tell me it's not a joke. Hell, watch the south park episode, it's not that far from the truth

[MrXorHomer]

@WhoArtThough It's a joke religion.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@MrXorHomer

you shouldn't say any religion is a joke. Calling one religion a joke is calling them all a "joke".

[MrXorHomer]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar That's like saying if I think Bring me the horizon suck all metalcore bands suck. It doesn't work that way

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@MrXorHomer

yes but ALL religion is based off of faith. If you don't have any faith in anything, how can you possibly have faith in one certain religion? You don't have the right to call any personal spiritual belief a "joke". For example Xenu is just as believable as Jesus, it just depends what you have faith in, which is why i chose not to be religious.

[MrXorHomer]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar Scientology is based on a book some guy wrote in the 20th century. Christianity is based on a book that is thousands of years old written by multiple scribes, you can't compare the two. Also theres actually proof of things in the bible actually happening. Has anything in scintology been been proven? No. Because it's just a religion based on a science fiction novel. Also how does that change anything? All music is based on a squence of notes, not all of it is good.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@MrXorHomer

I personally don't like Scientology in general, but everyone has a right to their own beliefs. And screamo sucks.

[MrXorHomer]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar Screamo is just metal with screaming vocals.

[DrumCoalitionWithWar]

@MrXorHomer

no its NOT. It's a different style altogether.

[six2112]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar All religion is a joke....everybody arguing about who has the best imaginary friend

[AlexArcher2012]

@six2112 LMAO that's the best description of the religion i've ever heard!!!! :)))

[fangtschui]

@WhoArtThough really really....sad

[wilky1189]

@WhoArtThough why is it sad that he's a scientologist? would it still be sad if he was muslim or jewish or buhddist or shinto?

[bluesruley2k]

@WhoArtThough Really? What a shame! He's lived a good life....he'll get a clue soon! And while Billy is one of my most respected bass players, he really should be playing guitar! IMO I think he discourages more would be bass players than he helps! LOL

[TheJezzka01]

@WhoArtThough who the hell cares if he is a scientologist????? you biggoted , strange person! i bet your a racist too! billy is a BASS PLAYER , who cares what he does in his spare time. !!!!!

[ww007ka]

@TheJezzka01 Can't agree more, people are so ignorant.

[TheJezzka01]

@WhoArtThough who gives a shite if he is a scientologist? he is a BASSPLAYER , one of the best ! c'mon ....... i wonder if your a racist too? just enjoy ya knucklehead

[eqsmooth]

@WhoArtThough Au Contraire. (That is French, dumbass). I'm no Dianetics guy at all but he is the only celebrity who gives Scientology a good name. Forget his politics and religion and appreciate that this genius is here to play music for you.

[TheLimelightTheRush]

@WhoArtThough Dude! Don't be so ignorant. I could care less what his religious beliefs are, that's a personal thing. All we care about is how f#cking incredible he is at bass guitar. Such a nice guy too.

[ijgenna]

watch this band - edge band talim - ( thats the keyword ) the guitarist was influenced by paul gilbert and the bassist a little of billy sheehan

[majed89]

this song wasn't made for bass

[NapoleanXV]

your face wasnt meant for bass :D

[jordankuprij]

@majed89 lol...so what??beethoven's symphony# 5 wasnt made for piano..NO piece by beethoven/bach/mozart was made for guitar.. :P

[phillipthewolf]

[lselvon]

That sounds awful!!

[plangentmusic]

That was Bach?

[blackfrancis55]

check out some bela fleck compared to these sonic farts.

[SevenCircles]

[Kubolski]

[lollo1986]

This is the bigger mad bass player in the world, great great great!

[poog83]
