  • i love how he flys on bass like its a guitar because im a guitar player and i like flying with distortion and this guy makes it sound sick on clean

  • there are 135 guitar players over here...

  • mind BLOWN!

  • He is shredding on the bass! without a damn pick! Way to go Metal Soldier! hahaha, take that robert trujillo and cliff burton!!! Neither of those idiots could sweep on bass to save their life. Long live Billy Sheehan!

  • 135 people dont know how good bass are.

  • Comment removed

  • fuck. i quit bass

  • @disturbedbass49 the same here.

  • How do people think dis is shit,lets be honest,not alot of bass players can pull dis off,its ridiculously hard to do bein a bass player myself iv tried,but fuk me man its hard

  • holy crap...i won't play the bass anymore...

  • Awesome :-O

    Un verdadero Dios del bajo :D

  • 135 people are guitarists

  • @billkolias Hahah snobby guitarists! lol

  • the main reason why bass cannot "shred" like guitar is because our strings are like 5 times thicker than yours. to pull this off, he must have had fingers that were incredibly strong and well trained. must have taken him months to perfect this solo

  • @T16Akatsuki this is an improvised solo

  • mother fucker

  • Omfg

    

  • Sheehan is amazing.

  • playn' bass with pick is for pussyes

  • @ewmehmo Playing bass makes art. Art can be made many ways. Don't be narrow minded and "dislike" pick users.

  • Mr Sheehan gets my vote! Never ever has anything I have ever heard or seen compares with this!!!!!!!!!

    Why can't our politicians get their work done with this incredible skill and speed? 

  • He fingered a girl once... She died.

  • @Vegemighty she died in his arms alright

  • Billy Sheehan! ----->EPIC

  • tremendo los chicos estos ja ja !!

  • billy sheens bass makes all of the preceding rows of girls pregnant

  • ON UMIE CHWYTY NA BASIE O.o

  • o.O

    

  • When the aliens come to earth and they find this ..

    They will freakout .!

  • @scarter180 Ok I saw this again and I just had to answer this, how can Steve play random shit when the guy is a Berklee graduate.... that like saying John Petrucci isn't technical or that Billy Sheehan doesn't know what he's playing here. Steve Vai is not overrated he has earned all of the craze he gotten during his career the guy isn't just some push over like Slash.

  • Can somebody please tell me how the hell he did that pinch harmonic on bass?

  • Comment removed

  • @ShoctopusOfficial

    Even though your comment was removed...for stupid reasons I guess. Can you tell me what kind of effects he uses?

  • @Jamora

    Hey sorry that was me. I accidentily commented on my bands page instead of my own. Here's a link to a handy source of all of his equipment.(I took out the 3 w's and dot com because utube doesn't let you post links. Just add them back in to get to the page)

    uberproaudio/who-plays-what/12­2-billy-sheehans-bass-gear-rig­-and-equipment

  • @Jamora it isn't a pinch harmonic, but its a tap harmonic. If you hit a note, and go twelve frets above it, its octave, and tap the string, you will get a tap harmonic. He isn't using a pick so its hard to get a pinch harmonic, but I wouldnt put anyhting past Sheehan.

  • This just proves that not only a bass can do what ever a guitar does, but A LOT more!

  • A friend told me that Sheehan sucked, and Christopher Wolstenholme was much better. The judge said i was right to kill him.

  • kind a cool jerk

  • Metal.

  • This is cool and stuff. But blowing your wad Like Yngwie all the time gets old.

    Where's the feeling?

  • fuck men! awesome !

  • im just gonna act like im not jealous.

  • JODER ESO ES MUY TITANICO NO USA EFECTO NO HAY DUDA ESTE ESTA ENTRE LOS 3 MEJORES BAJISTA DEL MUNDO

    .. JODER, GRACIAS X EL VIDEO DESDE VENEZUELA

  • I'm sorry to say this, but

    I thought Geddy Lee was good...

  • @theoxiiii he's good. Billy Sheehan is just a monster (or a god, not sure yet)

  • I'd like to inform all those bassists who have been trying to do this kind of tricks with almost no results that you don't need also a lot of technical skills, but also active pickups, a thing neck (Sheehan's is even scalopped), and a lot of pedals, such as compressor and overdrive or some things like those, which help you very very much.

  • 132 people disliked this video when the sound wasn't available, lol.

  • Billy is an awesome bassist but i just dont know how he did not get carpel tunnel syndrome, hes really fucking up his fingers.......... I think its better off if i played some Red Hot Chili Peppers!

  • I'd like to say that drummer is kick-ass too, as probably most people wouldn't notice him!

  • Really great!!! I saw him with Talas and with David Lee Roth. I know he's a rock guy and people always dog him for the the same stuff - that he's not a theory monster. Well 1) he's had a nice long career doing just this kind of stuff and 2) he hung with Vai who is a theory monster. I think he's doing all right. I saw him do a clinic too and he seems like a pretty down to earth guy.

  • 2:11 O.o

    it was scratch or i am deaf? :O

  • @1DennisRock I've never even noticed that... thanks, lol.

  • Yet another sign of the pointlessness of our era! There are so many skills involved here and so much knowledge of scales and music, however, it's not clear to do what. The great Paganini in the past could make even more skillful and astonishingly fast exercieses with a violin, but his skills were funcional to his type of music, this guy is worshipped not for cerating good music but for the speed of his fingers and the computer alike agility in which his brain memorises and elaborates scales.

  • @beltrando1 Lol this guy knows only one scale and thats pentatonic (im quoting him: "i may happen to play other scales sometimes, but i dont know their names"). And people are worshipping him because he can make a fkin crapload of noise the coolest way possible and basically go berserk so that audience has fun ^^

    Oh yea and he made me play the way i play today. If theres any1 else who plays bass because of Billy Sheehan, please give thumbs down to beltrando1; thanks :)

  • @BOnEhEAdD Thanks for your comment. However, I don't think this can be considered as music.

  • @beltrando1 Neither do I and neither does he. U didnt actually think this was his actual music, did ya? Yes he does like to shred and he does it in public, but that was 8min solo out of lets say 3hour gig, so thats less than 5%. And his songs - To be with you, Seesaw, Wild World, Caroline - yea right all of these are just bunch of scales with no songwriting whatsoever lol. If u dont know these, look them up - thats what we have YouTube for, not flaming :B

  • @beltrando1 Why not?

  • It's a matter of taste of course, but it's not music to me. It's just a beeeeeeeeee-noise, 100000000 notes/minute, or rather sport, contest who can beat a bass strings faster. Shame on Billy for inspiring so many bass-players to become the bees.

  • i didnt even know you could get that sound out of bass...

  • i saw him @ the House Of Guitars & holy fuck it was awesome

    i got to talk to him & he signed my old basses pick guard

  • How the furrrick do you do those harmonics from 1:31 to 1:37

    they look like pinch harmonics but hes not picking im super jealous of this beastly bassist

    someone try and tab this out X)

  • DIOS, JODER O.O ESE BILLY ES DE LOS MEJORES , TODO LO HACE SIN EFECTO, NADA DE EFECTO TODO CON EL BAJO, NO USA PEDAL... VENEZUELA...
