How do you perceive it? Do you see something extraordinary in your playing? I sure that you realize that for bass players around the world you are as if Eddie Van Halen for guitarists. In every biography of yours we can read that 'Billy Sheehan changed the way of playing bass guitar'. I give away all my playing techniques and try to encourage everyone to have a great success as a musician. >I tell them what I wish I would have known when I started. What do you try to say to younger players? I know that you play many clinics and seminars. Have you ever thought of recording album with famous bass players? Which could do it for example with Stu Hamm, Randy Coven, Jeff Pilson, Barry Sparks. What about Talas DVD? When it's going to be released nad what do you intend to include on it? > It's an experimental Bass & Drum record. Could you please tell something more about this project? I know that you plan to record album with Terry Bozzio who contributed to 'Compression'. Joe is still one of my very best friends in the world and he's very happy for me. >Wow! Did that ever get misinterpreted! Joe was my HERO! I was NEVER JEALOUS of Joe. I suppose that you reached the same point many years ago? :-) Does this guy know now who you are? You was reportedly jealous because he had best girls, best cars, besr hair.

You decided to play bass guitar for the sake of a guy called Joe, who lived in your neighbourhood. It's not intended to record anyone but me. My home studio is my private instrument for me only. And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part. Have you ever thought of doing the same? Isn't your own recording studio the first step for you towards becoming musician-businessman? Steve Vai set up his own record company which released your album 'Compression'. > Voodoo Child (Hendrix), Little Wing (Hendrix again), LaGrange (ZZ Top), and Goin' Down (Jeff Beck). Steve called me, and I had nothing planned for the summer-so we toured! It was one of the besat things I've ever been involved in.Įvery concert on G-3 tour ends jam of all musicians. It went great! Playing with Steve was a blast and I'll be joining him for his European headline tour. How is the G-3 tour going? And how does it feel to be on the same stage with Steve Vai again? And how did it happen that you participate in it? I wrote everything specifically for this record-no 'reject Mr Big songs'! Ha! It was an amazing adventure! I wrote all the material for 'Compression' starting abou4 to 6 months prior to recording. I spent a lot of time and a lot of money to make it right. Big, Niacin, Talas and DLRĭid have to set up your own studio in order to record your album? When did you actually write material for 'Compression'?
