Van Halen was just that...But this band has fans from all instruments. Van Halen was all guitar...this is guitar and bass with good rhythm backing it.

ARGH Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ive never fully understood why some people are so anti-Sheehan (bar the scientology...which is understandable) and despise Mr Big. Taste is one thing,thats fine,but why waste a comment on it,just let it pass...... This threads going to be negative,I can see it on the horizon.

Dread Bass Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Im not anti Sheehan and i don't despise Mr big I just didn't like it. no offense meant I was just passing comment that i didn't personally like it.

Sorry continue with your discussion.[/quote] You didnt come across as such,it might be a generational thing...grunge killed alot of this type of rock music off,and Im pleased to see it back,at last the solo will return and techniques and afterward boundaries will be pushed...... Grunge,bar Jeff Ament,didnt throw up many Bass heros,and most of the laughably bad musicians did the decent thing and dont seem to be in music any more (Cobain did the right thing IMHO)...... Can I just add,and Ive seen it on other threads the dislike of anything called 'Progressive'...May I say to the anti-'capable' musicians here you have the same problem too...its just called 'Post.....'

Image shows big cans! [/quote] HEY, I see my fat head in the background! Paul is the most amazing musician I have ever had the pleasure of sharing a stage with. He plays drums really good too!

7string Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) There's a Mr.Big album "Live at Budokan" and on the last live track (Bowie's "Suffragette City") the band all swap instruments. Singer to guitar, bass to vocals, drummer to bass and guitarist to drums. Sounds great and PG's drumming is pretty darn good Edited May 8, 2009 by 7string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the "elitist" musicians here should stop whining that their apparently-not-so-valuable instrumental skills aren't as appreciated in the way they'd like them to be, stop blaming other people for it, grow a pair of balls and get on with making music like everybody else is doing.
