Is it just me or is Billy Sheehan becoming a better bass player with age?

[@ITTAPUPU12]

that just happens naturally

[@qdaveq6597]

@@ITTAPUPU12 No, it happens through hard work.

[@ITTAPUPU12]

qdaveq are you braindead? BOTH HAPPENS

[@shannonfisher2011]

If you keep studying, practicing and playing... you will improve.

Sons of Apollo is the definition of a super group

Understatement!!! Supergroup of the Supergroups !! Ron and Billy !!! ... and Mike and Derek ... SAF !!!!

Bumblefoot always has something hilarious up his sleeve. "Jupiter is nice."

Billy Sheehan - One of the best bassist of all time Bumblefoot - One of the best guitarists of all time Can it get any more awesome?

[@mamaicymouse]

Yep you can... Put them in a band with the rest of the talent that makes up Sons of Apollo...

[@robmlisanti]

@@mamaicymouse amen just saw them in NJ

[@bobbyfikesmusicfun]

I played bass for Bumblefoot once and got to hang out with Billy Sheehan talking about bass for a long time and he is cool as hell. Bumblefoot is a great dude too.

[@robmlisanti]

@@bobbyfikesmusicfun Yeah Billy posted one of my shots i took from a show they did in NYC 2 years ago and responds back on FB all the time! \m/

Two amazing talents right there, folks!!! Billy is a monster! Met Bumblefoot, a super nice guy.

[@mikedrop4421]

Love how bassists are all like the ultimate wingman, they hear anyone playing anything and immediately jump in to provide a line for them.

And it's one hell of a lot of fun doing it, too!!!! That's the role.

I think it's awesome that great guitarists always credit ACE Frehley for them picking up the guitars. Ace off Alive 1 blew our minds back in the day and it still holds solid ground even today.

[@ikestoddard2458]

Thank you Loudwire! I love to watch these guys! Billy is the real deal too.

that Ace Frehley solo during She was one of the most inspirational moments for me too

[@69kevroletfastback33]

Wow, crazy good / max tallent. Interesting to note, the Kiss Alive album inspired a wide range of great guitar players because of Ace's unique sound / style and a pile of great songs.

@@Esse9. he can play both harmony parts to "I'm A Viking" simultaneously, for instance. ON ACOUSTIC.

[@mikefrank6319]

Billy is such a badass. Aside from his trademark hammering technique, he doesn't really have a style because he adapts and adds flavor to any type of song or arrangement. He has been influenced by almost everyone who has jammed on the four string instrument. In turn, he has become "the" most admired bassist of the last few decades.I love McCartney ,Geddy Lee, Jack Bruce,Steve Harris, James Jamerson, and Chris Squire among others. These guys are all distinctly identifiable in their playing.Billy, on the other hand, has filled his toolbox with borrowed tools from the greats and blended them into a fantastic non-style.

[@mikekiss648]

Insanely skilled and Versatile

[@KingGrio]

I think Ron's musical ideas are so creative a miniature black hole has started forming above his head. Somebody stop this man ! He will kill us all !

[@speedpants8915]

Bumblefoot is my favorite guitarist of all time and Billy Sheenan is an mastermind when it comes to bass, glad you got them on gear factor so they could play some badass riffs together, while shouting out Sons of Apollo (who came out with a fantastic album earlier this year.) great job loudwire!

[@drhamstersquare771]

I always admired Paul Samuel Smith of the Yardbirds as a wonderful bassist of the 60's. Until today, no one talked about him because of his short career as a bassist. Thanks to Billy who brought up Paul Samuel Smith here.

[@justken1900]

A record store employee turned me on to Talas in 1983 in Independence, MO. He knew I played bass and put on Billy's bass solo track from "Sink Your Teeth Into That". I bought the album and have been a fan ever since. Would have loved to see what Vai could done with Billy on "High Speed on Ice".

[@shannonfisher2011]

Stepanek I grew up same town as Billy he was more than an legend. To watch him play live b a ck in the 70s amazing. I was lucky enough to warm up for "Talas" a few times, Billy was such a loner he even practiced during breaks, how dedicated was that!!!!! My favorite song from Talas was "Thickhead and Sea Saw"
