My favourite Billy Sheehan moment was when an interviewer asked him about his age, jokingly, and said "Is it true you're so old you invented the wheel?" and Sheehan said "Hah, but I had to discover fire first so I could see what I was doing."

[@SEGBASS]

Only billy sheehan could make that bass riff sound like a pro whitout slapping it! Cause the original bass riff was a slap groove

[@salamwati9281]

Sheehan can go toe to toe with Vai and that is like a big statement of intent..bassist matter just let them shine too. Class.

[@EpictheEpicest]

it's nice to see both sheehan and vai getting air time, too many times they never film the bassist

[@DigBipper188]

With Billy Sheehan it's hard *not* to pan the camera over at least a few times... Dude's got some SERIOUS chops on bass!

[@00sven00sven00]

Love watching Bily get into it! Happy musicians make me hapy!

[@matiaudia]

Accidentally listened to this overlapped with "Lambada" by Kaoma and it was just great.

[@janahenychova]
