Billy Sheehan Clinic

He is the man! A rock bassist that have played with Alan Lee Roth, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and many more. Born early enough to see Jimi Hendrix play. Been together on stage with Rush, Van Halens and more! He is indeed a time machine. From where music is impossible in the states till billions of new bands appearing everywhere!

His clinic was much like i expected, comical and lots of stories. This guy is old enough as a grandpa but still touring around the world. What do you expect? Stories. Here's a few good ones that i remembered.

"i threw the banana off the stage and expect not to see it again. Right when we started singing, it flew right back and smashed on *****'s face right infront of my eyes!"

"extreme metal is interesting to me.. but we always call those vocalist Cookie Monsters! *he went on to imitate them* "

"oh you guy's definitely heard of the story when Paul got his hair stucked in the drill..."

"..the next moment, something hit right at my head! I kept playing and look to the crew at the side of the stage.
Billy: Am i bleeding??
Crew talking to each other: Should we tell him?!? "

".. well yeah i do know of a few great bassist that uses more then 4 strings..
Jaco Pas.. ops wrong..
Paul Mac.. ops wrong..
hmz..
Stanley Clar.. ops wrong again..
hmz.. i can't recall any suddenly!"

Well these are definitely the funnier stories i remember. There are also alot of technique talking, morale boosting and not forgetting playing it infront of us. Amazing. Now it's time to save up for a good old attitude bass! I don't like that new bb bass they are promoting for their 40yrs anni..

Thanks Billy, your clinic brightens my life quite a bit!
