    I'm 25 and I can't say I've ever seen anyone put down Jaco, stop blaming the youth you old fogey! :P

    Maybe the shredder phase has passed but Billys playing with Winery Dogs is immense, nothing cheesy or 80's about it.
    Like LewisK said, he serves the songs incredibly well whilst still having his flash moments.

    Boring! That's another reason no one's copied him. And as for NV10538... what a racket!?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater... I've encountered him at trade shows too and found him to be very personable. Also I have the Niacin album and like it a lot!! Including his take on 'Birdland'. I'm just trying to answer the OP question.

    There are no Billy Sheehan clones because Billy's playing is boring. Thanks for your definitive answer.

    Now see I like 'Portrait of Tracy'. It's got form and great harmony. Billy tends to just go for it and doesn't really carry the harmony in his 'lead' playing.

    I like his jazzier stuff when he stretches out though... Niacin we've mentioned but what about this: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFIGPMdf5nc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=sFIGPMdf5nc[/url]

    Gotta say I totally agree with visog here (maybe cos we are both in the North west). When i was a teen learning how to play i was into all technical stuff like Vai, Dream Theater, and jazzier stuff, weather report, coliseum etc and i just found him boring. Is show off bits were great but when he was doing is 95% of the time stuff (as it has been put) i just thought it was dull. lacked balls n groove. To be fair it was just DLR n Mr Big that i listen too. But I much prefered Stu Hamm. Thought he did all that technique stuff but played more interesting normal stuff!

    His "Eruption" is a solo called NV43345 - The title is Sheehan upside down and backwards. Every bass player should have heard this.

    Listen mate, kids take enough off you! Freedom, sleep, fun, the number of times you can get wrecked, lie ins, money etc etc.

    Don't let the little bastards take your basses too!

    Also, having a family means you have to attend the evil that are other kids birthday parties. It's an outrage! So definitely don't let them take the your real true love!

    This should be entitled "People still discussing relic'd/Road worn instruments - really?"

    Some people like relics, some don't, it makes life interesting when we don't all like the same things.............next subject.

    Yes, definitely. And I like the fact you can sometimes just pluck something out of the air and there it is, a brilliant musical idea. :)

    That is great when that happens!

    Can any of you get fulfilled just by listening to music, experiencing it?

    I gig a lot at different levels, pub, musical theater tours, originals etc. I compose. However, I can just put on a great piece of music (musically interesting not just a pop song) i.e Rite of Spring, Kuru/Speak like a child etc and just listen and enjoy it's complexity and beauty and realise how great music is. How its just a natural occuring phenomenon that we manipulate and do amazing things with and that fulfills me!

    I think of it like the Force in Star Wars!

    Man! I need to stop smoking so much weed!
