Danny SapkoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't know why, but that's Jeff Berlin.
Danny SapkoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then Billy Sheehan weighed in, which really opened up the debate.
Danny SapkoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And there was still a lot of people on there defending Marcelo, by the way.
CarlHOST
That's a big deal right there.
CarlHOST
Billy Sheehan's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
CarlHOST
It's about time someone fucking exposed this guy.
CarlHOST
Holy shit.
Brad TolinskiGUEST
when ed didn't think that he was following the one or al was he would literally stomp on mike's foot while mike's playing it as to where that where the groove was you know
TorHOST
right well you know thank goodness for mike and his meat and potatoes approach because had it been someone like Billy Sheehan or someone like that, a virtuoso, if you will, bassist, you'd have more of a King Crimson situation.
TorHOST
You'd have more of a prog-rocky sound.
TorHOST
Mike really kind of kept them grounded as the rock band that they should be, you know?
Chris GillGUEST
Well, Mike knew his role.
Chris GillGUEST
I think that's the important part because he could...
Chris GillGUEST
Shred like Billy Sheehan.
Chris GillGUEST
And you can hear that.
David J. CriblezHOST
Just a fun fact.
David J. CriblezHOST
Also, if Alex ever does make a record of new material with assorted musicians, what do you think of the title Brothers and Others for it? Finally, do you think Sammy ever dreams of getting Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan and Greg Bissonette jamming together with him because he's such an egomaniac? And he wants to piss off Dave.
David J. CriblezHOST
Thanks, Dave Moses IV Dave.
David J. CriblezHOST
Well, lots to dig into there.
David J. CriblezHOST
the intense hate that it got because it was trying to be sold as a Van Halen album it's just tricky tricky business I don't know what he's gonna call it brothers and some others or whatever you want to call it that's cool too I do think he should tie it to the brothers book I mean that would make sense you know and apparently he's doing like a movie based on that book I don't even think he's doing like a Van Halen biopic as much as he's doing a Eddie and Alex, their journey type movie or something.
David J. CriblezHOST
I'm not sure.
David J. CriblezHOST
I don't think Sam has any plans to play with Steve Vai, Greg Bissonette, and Billy Sheehan.
David J. CriblezHOST
That would never happen, nor would those guys do that.
Chris O'BrienHOST
Yeah.
Chris O'BrienHOST
Billy Sheehan on bass, who I never really liked on bass because I shouldn't say I never really liked.
Chris O'BrienHOST
His bass playing style is very thin.
Chris O'BrienHOST
Yeah.

DougHOST
When you play like that without a pick, why would you? Right.
Chris O'BrienHOST
Let me just get to a little Richie Cotsen action.
Chris O'BrienHOST
There's a little Billy Sheehan action.
Chris O'BrienHOST
I actually think it works for this band because they're only a trio.
Michael BerryHOST
That band was solid.
Michael BerryHOST
Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, Greg Bissonnette, David Lee Roth.
Michael BerryHOST
Steve, as you said, is one of the best and wildest guitar players I've ever seen.
Michael BerryHOST
He played it with his teeth behind his back and literally crawled on the floor and played the guitar.
Brian MaleyHOST
Yes, from their debut album.
Brian MaleyHOST
I can remember in 1989 going out and buying the vinyl of Mr. Big's self-titled debut album and the component parts of Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan, Paul Gilbert and the sadly departed Pat Torpey.
Brian MaleyHOST
I thought this was going to be a spectacle.
Brian MaleyHOST
speed metal virtuoso thing.
Brian MaleyHOST
And it was far from it, Matt.
Brian MaleyHOST
It was melodic songwriting, harmony, vocals.
Brian MaleyHOST
Don't get me wrong, Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan shred through the album, but absolutely brilliant album.
Brian MaleyHOST
And then they followed it up with Lean Into It, which has The Big single on it as well, too.
Eric DahlHOST
gosh, Johnny.
Johnny HilandGUEST
So, dude, and I had Bill Holland and Danny Gatton's band leader out there on the record, Billy Sheehan on bass, and Pat Torpey from Mr.
Johnny HilandGUEST
Big.
Eric DahlHOST
That's like a dream band.
