[@jandvadams]

The 80's metal bands were a dime a dozen when metal went mainstream. You had all sorts off mashups. Hell even Bad Company pulled in a new lead singer and had a few hits. But man oh man. Do I remember Mr. Big. When their debut album came out and I heard Addicted To That Rush, I was hooked. The whole album is fire. I love their version of 30 Days In The Hole. And the album Lean Into It is pure gold. Hell I proposed to my wife while listening to, To Be With You. It's our song. This band was a true Supergroup. Love them. And RIP to the one and only Pat Torpey.

[@AkSamurai69]

Dude, I flew from Alaska to orange California for a guitar lesson with Paul Gilbert. Walked 5 miles hauling my guitar. Had a copy of Lean into it with me, had him sign for my girlfriend "hold on little girl". We've broken up since but she still has it. She has another copy, the first cd she ever owned given to her by her father. Coincidently enough when i started playing guitar my father showed me that album and told me he wanted me to play those songs for his birthday. My father also revealed why, we used to sing "to be with you" at the kitchen table when i was a toddler. I have a vague memory of it, but it all came flooding back. These guys are a huge part of my life. And yes, RIP Pat Torpey

[@jandvadams]

At the time i was soft spoken, and wasn't thinking about his hearing loss. I started asking him a question and instead of asking me to speak up, he leanded in and cupped his ear. I was shocked. A rock god, my favorite of all time, is accommodating ME. And no, he wasn't being facetious

[@jandvadams]

@@AkSamurai69 I had the opportunity to see them here in Baltimore back when Lean Into It came out. Hands down one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Never had the chance to meet Paul. But I hear he's a real humble guy and loves to talk to his fans. That's so cool you got to meet him.

Either that or you get the "X bassist from my favorite 70s band didn't need all that flashy nonsense" comments.

@@2Plus2isChicken2013, Sheehan is one of my favorite musicians and I find his playing impressive. I just don't understand why nutty fanboys can't read damn words exactly as they're written. His soloing here is great, fun and enjoyable but one doesn't need a lot of music theory to come up with this stuff. It's rock'n'roll, it should be fun, thinking is widely considered to not be fun. Had Billy improvised over 'Giant Steps' that night, thousands of SF yongsters woudn't have been so happy. Do you catch my drift or am I badmouthing him again and you are triggered every time somebody doesn't comment like 'Billy's the best bassist EVAH'?
