amazing bass player from steve vai's band

[RottingHands]

Paul Gilbert just got his ass kicked.

[tomas1176]

but billy is the bassist for vais band and mr. big sucks big c#@!.

[membersnaklo]

FUCK YOU WMG ! RETARDED U ARE!

[rk6314]

[CJbass420]

@ETizzleful He is playing an electric.

[bobvinson2002]

too bad its paul gilbert not steve vai!

[facisthunter]

this is not steve vai , this groupe is "MR: big" with paul gibert in the guitar!

[Timmychanga93]

Whats the point of censoring it? It's live. This is just bullshit.

[ezequieldavid]

Fuck WMG

[HugelyBig]

You might want to take this down and re-upload.

What's the point in watching a muted video that's about music?

[sixstringpsyco]

Cult bassist is cult member

[timi0000]

Steve Vai is an enigma to me. He has some really good stuff ( i.e."Fire Garden Suite") that when you hear it you say "this guy is a prodigy". On the other hand he has stupid,cheesy run-of-the-mill songs that are played really fast and sound like they should be the theme to "Beverly Hills 90210"

[crimsonblad5]

Impressed because he has speed and i wish i could play that fast.

but i'm unimpressed because i really didn't see skill /:

[CRVZS]

hey man! He is billy sheehan years ago.. believe me... he has got skill :)

[accurist94]

this is billy sheehan and the guitarist is paul gilbert and the guy below me is right, thats Mr Big

[chiefofmetal]

ppl have probably pointed this out already, but thats paul gilbert, and the bands mr.big i think

[bassman4570]

True But Billy Sheehan also played with Steve Vai in David Lee Roths Band after he left Van Halen

[ackbass]

lol, you didn't know Billy Sheehan?

[drcpilotflyer]

ok eddie did this stuff in the 70s,move on

[hmcrage]

hmm I think it's not the first time he plays the bass

hahaha

this was great (love battles)

[pcorbs88]

thats billy sheehan dumbass and paul gilbert

[accurist94]

thats paul gilberts band

[Thisisthe30thtime]

Better watch "the clap" by Steve Howe: that's magic.

This sucks!

[chetanpurplehaze]

man dont u even recognize billy?????shit dts pathetic....

[LynchDaPimp]

thats a bass?

sounds like a ufo

[plasticathexis]

these guys suck, sound like shit, and look like trannies. And they think they're awesome which is the best part. I can tap scales up and down a fret board just as well. And minus the shitty look and cocky attitude. That's why its called cock-rock.

[steve01evil]

this is mr big and thats addicted to the rush

the guitrist is paul gilbert.

[26316645]

The guitar player is Richie koczen !!!!!!!!

[spencer5078]

i think the singers is the guy from tesla

[fleabane]

YEAH! Good shout, I was struggling to think where I'd heard him from, 10 points!

[DolphinProductions1]

sheehan plays with vai now.. i think thats what karmaagain means... but i heard sheehan is an asshole

[menegakis]

his name is billy sheehan dude!

[indydrt]

steve either sat in or david lee roth got the boot which ever it is steve and billy on this stage so WTF big deal..

[GDT1124]

too bad its Billy Sheehan with Mr. Big and Paul Gilbert is the guitarist. dumb.

[sillybears]

Ick, too bad the ceiling didn't collapse.

[Drumboy27]

!!MR. BIG!! Billy Sheenan used to live next to my dad as a kid, not kidding.

[ibanez1200DK]

cool

[primusguy12121]

haha sheehan is the man

[vitalrybas1]

Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan. Can't figure out where the fuck Steve is?

[thur666]

LOL, e eu tocando brasileirinha. ;X

[sabnmgn77]

yah, mr. big yah!!!!!

[Gorgalisin]

well, actually KarmaAgain isn't totally wrong, because billy really is Steve's bass player but this one is a video taken from a mr.big's gig =)

[manolelo]

that is paul gilberto´s band

[karateguitarkid]

lol steve vai was funny but nice bass :P

[nickbrdr12]

steve vai? what are you thinking?

[Tuuktalus]

Not Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, just look at him. F'n awesome stuff!

[jeffey217]

meh

[liauno]

wtf!

billy sheehan and paul gilbert

MR.BIG addicted to that rush!!!

steve vai :( loooool

[SatanxFace]

I was not amused.

[georgriffer]

Fu... , wrong, Addicted to that rush, as can be read from the vid... *sorry*

[georgriffer]

It´s Mr. Big playing Shyboy, a Billy Sheehan Song from Talas(?). Vai played that one too, right.

[0tt0kruegar]

i got that bass and i sound like him...but i'm not gay!

[damienrouse]

UH yeah hes awesome its Billy Sheehan

[zooropah82]

he is fast but i don't like his style, he plays the bass much like a guitar. ALthough he is with no doubt very talented.

[ZDRskateallday]

LOL jecht its billy sheeHAN not sheenan u idiot

[Jecht301010]

man wtf are you doing postin videos of the amazing billy sheenan not knowing his name and saying he is from a band he isnt in the video

[cereal49]

lol...i do that when im bored...its not at all hard to do

[mikelcpt]

Not Steve Vai. Not Steve Vai's band. Not the amazing bass player from steve vai's band. That Band is called Mr. Big, and that is not steve vai, but paul gilbert, and the bass player from mr. big is called billy sheehan.

[bucknasty1148]

he has played with vai in multiple bands as well

[fodera6]

Because fastest is bestest!

[sthwatkins]

billy sheehan fucking rocks!

Mr. BIG!

[Marlowann]

Billy Sheehan's bass sounds like a growling wolf, so badass.

[jwec2004]

how is that FLEA?! its clearly billy sheehan!

[anfotsu]

its paul gilbert's band not vai's

[oimagnostic]

Not Vai

[KrisBass182]

he must really good at jacking off

[gothicrain888]

you people need to realize their putting on a show, their having fun on stage. when you get to that point in YOUR career when you can do what they did, then come back hear and say something.

[shanaenaecolleen]

FuNckn Flea from the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS is one of the greatest yo. Those funky-ass basslines don't grow on trees. This guy is playing his bass like he's playing guitar for DragonForce. Bass isn't boring, you just have to listen to good bass players.

[Marlowann]

DragonForce has nothing on this.

[lolsebasstian]

flea... good but definitely not the best. listen to some better non-rock bassists like marcus miller, victor wooten, etc. if you want creative funky basslines then listen to larry graham and brothers johnson and other stuff

[pandaeater123]

thats gilbert

[mollinrc]

everyone needs to address the fact that these electric bass guitarists are not bass players. they are playing guitaristically more than bassistically( is that a friggin word). big deal , lot's of hammer ons and flashy tricks with no melody. not one phrase that is remotely singable. Borrrrrrrrring!! stop masturbating on your instruments guys. use a towel.

[GaryNull]

LOL . . at last someone who knows what their talking about. People get impressed over the lamest stuff. Most people don't know shit about music.

[Tompdeez]

That definitely is Paul Gilbert, not Steve Vai. Just name it Mr. Big

[MONSIE13]

i wonder what hes like on guitar

[zhuhaozheng]

Y don't you call this just Mr. Big....

[T0MRE]

Steve's guitar looks cheap. Sure he's good, but he goes over the same stuff and this is mr big's only good song... Billy sheehan was pretty cool to watch though

[deathmetaliscool]

FUCKIN BILLYY

[CCM104]

No musicality whatsover just high speed noise.

[samthekatalyst]

are you actually dissing billy sheehan and paul gilbert shitbag139? haha are you serious?

[shockmeista360]

where does he say that THIS is steve vai's band? jeez, everyone makes mistakes. lighten up people.

[franvans01]

sorry...yes,, that is paul gilbert buuuuut billy sheehan plays actually with steve vai, idiots, have you ever seen G3 in tokio 2005?

[quaheedus]

Right...Sheehan and Vai also played with Roth when he went solo.

[shockmeista360]

nice. tapping is pretty hard to do on a bass... that good, anyway

[shitbag139]

they both suck anyways,all of you,lol ohhh they played some scales....what a bunch of hard ons

[DriedUpSquid]

Well Billy has played with Steve Vai so he's half right. Lighten up people.

[666metal4life666]

aha u fuck-tard, how could u get Mr. Big mixed up with steve Vai :s u need to do your homework on bands.......dumbasss,....(no offence)

hahahaha :X

[BassBottom0850]

Do your homework.............

[shutkorea41]

that is paul gilbert man... not steve vai ... ¬¬ duh..

[meineteilsushi]

you so fucking tard!

is BILLY SHEEHAN, BASS-GOD

AND THE BAND IS MR. BIG

WITH PAUL GILBERT

ASSHOLE!!

¬¬

[gypsy1324]

its ok i guess

[nikkisevenn]

its nt really tht hard to do wat hes playing and it sounds dredful n e way so who wud want to!

[DARKHAWKSENEMY]

what band is this?

[xdivinexbladex]

i think its mr big seeing how both paul gilbert and billy sheehan are there

[Presoner]

It's definitely Mr.Big and Steve Vai has nothin' to do with it...Billy Sheehan is the bass player

[thestix15]

ok im going to somewhat agree and some what disagree Billy Sheehan is a fucking BRUTAL bass player its like the man eats them from breakfast and yes he shreds bass so wat thats his style i love it i cant play it if i could i probably wouldnt but its what he does and its rad! Victor wooten is also RIDICULOUS but still a thousand notes a second kind of man

[daveweckl1]

this solo seriuosuly sucks! if this is musical to people then i feel sorry for the music theyve listend too ! i would also think this is great if i hadennt hurd other good bass players like tom kennedy victor wooten john patitucci just to name a phew !

god this guys rubbish in comparison and he has a horrible tone

[blackrpg]

lmfao, good stuff lol

[Bassistdan1]

Hey Man,

I totally agree with ya on that one. I mean, I don't want to be TOO harsh on Billy because he does have some serious chops and can certainly lay down somewhat of a groove when needed. But for the most part, this particular solo is pretty bad in the sense that it's "feel-less". It's true that if most people heard the likes of John Patitucci, Jaco, Jeff Berlin, Mark King, Victor Bailey and Wooten, Jimmy Johnson, Percy Jones, they would certainly wonder what THIS is! (g)

[v300v3]

billy sheehan, paul gilbert, pat torpey and eric martin!! excelent musicians!!! for the love of god i love Mr.Big and that song addicted to that ruch live in san francisco in 1992 makes me wanna cry!!! yeahhhh i just fucking love that!!!

[newsiemen4u]

Ha ha need to do your research, this is billy sheehan and mr big not steve vai

[SPAZ111]

billy sheehan is the best thing since rock n' roll

[mrseanzee]

no shit idiot. i know its fucking talent and i know what a fucking bass solo is. i said it was still pretty cool so settle down. go back to your mothers gaping vagina. fag

[haus05]

thats billy fucking sheehan

noobs

[Diuretic88]

yea seriousely this video is posted everywhere if u dont know who billy is epic failure

[mrseanzee]

i personally don't like that. cause a bass is supposed to sound like a bass..not a guitar. still pretty cool though

[metalmaster760]

wow you're a douchebag... making your bass sound like a guitar is a talent idiot... its called a bass solo

[mart3442]

If you think that Bass sounds like a Guitar, you need you ears cleaning out.

Totally different in tone and range.

[gblueslover1]

It gets to the point the playing is SO fast, it becomes non-descript, as in " what was that " ? But if one likes constant lighting fast playing, then so be it. YAWN

[PutItAway101]

It's Paul Gilbert numbnuts.

[flimflam0069]

yeah thats paul gilbert not vai

[vineyardedge]

my hair is almost like Billy's YAY!

[MebassicA]

You can tell it's paul, by his chin...

[catdude57]

Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai both played with David Lee Roth prior to Billy playing in Mr. Big

[ZOMGItsRobot]

i didn't know it was paul gilbert, didn't recognize him, but i knew instantly it wasnt steve lol

[rogerestunchien]

Yeah that's Paul Gilbert's band..

[whathaveweherepeople]

thats paul gilbert

[seadas]

It's Mr Big not Steve Vai wiseguy !!!! ;-)

[orlandofriend]

stupid.

[sukkamaballs]

isn't that Paul Gilbert not Steve Vai

[HugeNorwegianACDCfan]

I loved it ^^

[arozak]

fucken gay

[shawtunez]

Check out Billy's other band called "Niacin".

[johndeere456578]

that may be fast but it sounds like shit!

[DareDevl21124]

your a dick your just pissed cause you can't do anythign like this.

[martinmedeski]

this is sacrilege to the bass guitar...

[childofbass]

martinmedeski (1 month ago)

this is sacrilege to the bass guitar...

You have to be kidding me! No-one can play like sheehan, just because you can't play as fast as him doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

[martinmedeski]

i don't really want to get into an argument with someone who thinks you have to play fast to be a good musician. this music has no groove whatsoever, it has a certain amount of talent, but on musicianship whatsoever. bass needs groove and style to be played well.

[albass69]

this is the solo i think you havent seen billys groove

[konichiwa321]

yo man look at flea hes fukin amazing and hes jumpin around while he does it

[soccershu6]

yeah thats paul gilbert

billy would end up playing for steve vai after this

[Tonybasskicker2]

Billy sheehan rocks as always! And by the way, the name of this band is Mr. Big!

[rugdoctor]

its depressing how gay billy sheehan is

[pavlas]

shy boy right ?

[BassPlayerFTW]

billy sheehan FTW!!!

[adisharr]

That footage is from 'Mr. BIG' - that's Sheehan playing with Paul Gilbert. They both sound a bit off in this version though.

[3264fdhgd]

how do i upload videos?

[3264fdhgd]

holy crap!

[minicooper88]

awesoome! :D

[KarmaAgain]

I said sheehan is from steve vai's band not the clip lol!

[orlyvai7]

First of all, that is not Steve Vai. I'm pretty sure that is Paul Gilbert. I think the band is Mr. BIG. As for the bass player that is Billy Sheehan. He kicks ass! He is in Steve's band called "Steve Vai and The Breed". Pretty cool footage though. I miss the eighties.
