YESSSS!!! These guys Rock so Hard!!! Also pretty sure Mr Sheehan would be surprised to hear he has passed! 👀🤘🔥💜

Married to an italian woman from Bari

[@mickray3202]

I think they meant that Mr. Pat Torpey (drums) has passed after a battle with Parkinson's. RIP Pat!

[@stamaalexgabriel2262]

Yes, Mr. Big is not just about acustic ballads, but tehnical hard rock!!!! Love it!!

[@shanetilley2591]

Pat Torpey was a heck of a drummer...RIP.

[@pattjor]

I love Mr. Big and I'm crazy in love for Eric Martin..the best vocalist in this world!! ❤❤❤

[@Scarecrow-qt1zn]

My friends, by now it is known the bass god Billy Sheehan is a 10 out of 10. along with Eric Martin - Vocalist, Paul Gilbert - Guitar god, aand Pat Torpey -Drums.. RIP Pat. I was HEAVY into all of their carrers. And honestly still am.

[@Mattd252]

Brilliant band, seen them live twice and met them afterwards on both occasions. Phenomenal musicians and nice guys. Billy Sheehan is pushing 70 these days and is still ripping the bass to pieces…

[@dEadERest]

it's weird that they are being discovered lately 😶

[@MkF3175]

Mr Big was a very talented band with many brilliant and good songs back in the 90's

[@scotttipler8797]

Saw these guys a few years back. Pat was there, but only played drums on a few songs. They had a sit in drummer who did a great job. Wasn't the 1st time I'd seen Billy or Paul. But you could tell this tour meant the most to them. RIP Pat Torpey. I had the chance to see you smile & that said it all. Never forgotten

[@prodigal71]

As a fan of Racer X & Talas from my early teen years, I was excited to see Sheehan/Gilbert together. Love seeing Sheehan play with such great guitarists over his career...

[@matthewpeters3642]

I grew up listening to these guys who eventually shaped my musical knowledge of all 3 instruments, and I can say imma proud bass player thanks to Billy’s encouragement over the years. They’re a 10/10 for me. 😊

[@mattblatchley2061]

very cool! Billy IS 🔥

[@kapwapoedolomitetalabritne8841]

Eric Martin is a Holy Grail vocalist

[@michelelaraia7358]

Love Best of what I got(Tango&Cash, 1988 OST) and COLORADO BULLDOG

[@michelelaraia7358]

Some early Motley reminds

[@michelelaraia7358]

Unmatchable Susie reaction

[@seanbarker4610]

Billy Sheehan is also in Winery Dogs and the Sons of Apollo!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

I saw Sons of Apollo here in my city in México....before the Pandemic....AWESOME! they play a lot of covers of Queen and Dream Theater!

[@j.juarez9526]

The most epic shred song in history. The love, soul, and joy apparent in this band is undeniable. Mr. Big lost their amazing friend and drummer Pat, but they move on and will be touring soon. Thank you for this reaction. It is awesome!

[@gingerty9628]

Eric Martin co wrote Europes song "All or Nothing" with Joey Tempest. You can definitely hear Mr. Big vibes in that song.

[@lichtregen777]

R.I.P Pat Torpey, Not Billy Sheehan!

[@Sir_Alex]

Fuck yeah ! Finally you watched the great Mr Big .... an absolutely amazing band ..... Billy played a lot with Steve Vai too .... Gilbert is from another world .... Pat Torpey was a wicked drummer ...

[@lizzyfletcher3175]

This has always been one of my fave bands and videos!! The shreds were 11!!

[@leroyd3480]

Saw them opening for Rush. That whole concert totally rocked.

[@pranaakbary9924]

I'm paul gilbert fan but in this song Pat Torpey is the man, Powerfull R.I.P Pat

[@Raunline]

Bass and guitar shred?!?!? 11!!!!!

[@billneville6171]

I saw them open for Rush amazing 10

[@mattblatchley2061]

Billy and Paul were both HUGE Van Halen fans, for real...and it shows!!! THIS, their first single, blew me away...10/10

[@mattblatchley2061]

I have no idea which is better...Billy with Paul or Billy with Steve Vai...awesome react

[@707Berto]

Don't forget Ritchie Kotzen... ​@@mattblatchley2061

[@andysalazar3169]

This level of talent is non existent today.

[@kwantoon]

Everything that Billy and Paul do is brilliant, so it's hard to rate them on a 1 to 10. Obviously those two guys are great at what they do, and Eric Martin has an incredible set of pipes on him as well, but. It's really important to point out Pat's contributions to the projects he's been involved with, Pat was an incredible drummer and percussionist and he was essential to the Mr Big sound. When Pat fell ill and was no longer able to play, his bandmates still kept him involved and took him on tour with them which I thought spoke volumes about their character, he was much more than just a drummer to them. RIP Pat, thanks for all the good music you gave us to enjoy

[@rene4144]

You should check out mr big doing this song live in Tokyo 1991... no studio magic just oer master class!!!

[@rossanomacchioni1495]

Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert played guitar and bass tapping together...

[@gregoryvlchek269]

IMO, Billy Sheehan was/is the best all-around Rock bass player EVER. He is so incredibly technically advanced, it's mind boggling. His execution of tapping, etc. normally done on guitar (and thinner strings) is awe-inspiring. Imagine how strong his fingers/hands are!

[@kwantoon]

I have absolutely always loved his tone. The first time I heard Billy was on Eat Em and Smile and I was hooked, I had never heard anyone quite like him. As far as I'm concerned, Billy can do no wrong.

[@richardwilde1334]

Awesome reaction guys. Mr Big's energy was off the charts

[@R.POWELL]

Hey girl, ive watched you 2 for a few years and your style never ceases to AMAZE me !! You are so created and i love it. You should be a professional makeup, ( hair etc) artist. Been wanting to say that for years.... keep up the great reactions 👍🏻👏🏼🌼💛🤗

[@kimchi2780]

Paul Gilbert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@philroach9402]

you're now ready for Daddy brother lover little boy

[@jasontrebilcock6496]

The Electric Drill Song. That'll melt their faces as well.

[@rickcastillo3573]

I was lucky enough to see these guys live in 89. I believe they opened for Ratt. Great band!!

[@michaelbeem1737]

Saw these guys in the early 90s... 10/10, these guys were not playing around

[@michelelaraia7358]

Sheehan is alive and kicking, got Fb/Meta friendship

[@MrJoseph6119]

I saw these guys 10 years ago and I'm still blown away! they are sick! I give them all a 11...

[@RockinRandall]

Yep

[@ajlangdon78]

After constantly hearing 'To Be With You' on the radio and getting sick of it, I never listened to any more of Mr. Big. I finally gave them a shot a few years ago and now I kicking myself for never listening to them earlier.

[@MrMetalWarlock]

Well, they’re super band

[@kushking420]

Billy Sheehan is an extraordinary, amazing bass player. I'd love to see him live some day

[@troymodin1682]

You have been introduced to one of the most underrated bands, from the singer- , Eric Martin one of the best bass players in Billy Sheehan (also in David Lee Roths solo band) and the mighty Paul Gilbert . First album lean into it must have..

[@syndicateathletics7072]

amazing band, great tunes and obviously the musicianship is ridiculous

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

I implore you to listen to Mr. Big's cover of Deep Purple's "Burn". No keyboard - and yet nothing's missing.

[@dewapd1169]

Billy Sheenan is in the Winery Dogs now...

[@Limbaboog]

Uhhh...20. These guys r awesome

[@johnmessina4798]

Paul Gilbert is the lead guitar in Racer X

[@anthonyrufrano7452]

Pat Torpey (drummer) passed...not Billy Sheehan. Billy plays with Mike Portnoy and Ritchie Kotzen in The Winery Dogs.

[@Limbaboog]

10. U should liaten to daddy brother lover little boy ( the drill song) yes they use drills on the bass and guitar

[@bluesmike1]

OMG!!! You're finally doing "Addicted to that Rush!!! Enjoy...

[@kohlenstoffeinheit5298]

10/10

[@ryant3600]

Mr. Paul Gilbert.. the Chuck Norris of guitar.. one of the greatest guitarists of all time.. and his band isn't so bad either. one of the most talented bands ever.

[@chrisstone5868]

Ok I know I’m a lil late but this is first time I’ve seen you react to “ Mr. Big”! Ok so out of 1-10 scale k. Vocals 25, guitar shredding 45, bass shredding 100!!! Saw these guys in Billings Montana in 89! Never heard of them before. And THEY BLEW THE ROOF OFF AN ENTIRE ARENA!!!!

[@lperr02000]

The mighty Billy Sheehan!

[@cynthiareimann9614]

Mr. Big kicks major A$$ have always been a fan.

[@jleote]

Never much liked the band. But Billy Sheehan on Bass and Paul GIlbert on Guitar are legends.

[@kapwapoedolomitetalabritne8841]

Never forget Pat Torpey on drums please

[@godreigns1753]

Me Big rocks but the duo guitar and bass shredding was first introduced 3 years prior on David Lee Roth’s first two solo albums Eat ‘Em And Smile and Skyscraper which consisted of Billy Sheehan on bass and Steve Vai on guitar and let’s not forget Gregg Bissonette on drums. Two awesome shredding albums from these musicians

[@dallasbrown9376]

Imagine trying to be a young guitarist and hearing this !! You should check out what Paul Gilbert is up to lately !

[@annemieverhoeven2566]

Billy Sheehan luckely still is with us. Awesome band👍👍👍and song

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Billy Sheehan is the STEVE VAI of the bass players.... The only time I saw Steve Vai LIVE...Billy Sheehan was his bass player

[@ThiagoRibeiro-rr4fr]

Please react Mr. Big - Daddy Brother Lover Little Boy - Live Tokyo 1991

[@billc.5861]

Billy is crazy good and is known to bend his strings **The only other bassist I’ve seen do the side buy side shred is Angeline Saris & Gretchen Menn from Zepparella with Steve Vie who look surprised when Angeline stepped over next to them and matched them.***. I think they were doing Whole Lotta Love. Anyway both are cool videos

[@csphoenix9]

Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert are top of the Mountain players both are 11

[@martinmarenov7460]

Billy Sheehan is alive. Pat Torpey passed away.

[@Tigerraj]

Do check out Mr.Big Burn, they did a concert and that was a encore instrumental. Ritchie Kotzen was the guitarist at the time. I’d have to rate all four of them 10/10 in my books. 😊

[@stevenhayes859]

I love to "click down there". wink !

[@Redundant_underscore]

Eric Martin is sooo underrated.

[@richardturk7162]

YT shorts are a waste of time I never click on them. Shawn Lane was incredible IMO. Must be 420 ing hard Suzi LOLOL. You might want to check out the band Hardline they rocked the 90s with Neil Schon on guitar.

[@dalejohnson2047]

I think they are about to hit the road again with the new drummer Rip pat torpey , billy is still alive and kicking he’s still playing with Mr big and another super group called the winery dogs with Richie kotzen and mike portnoy the original drummer from dream theater who also drums for Neal Morse and lastly billy played for David Lee Roth band

[@Scott-dz4cs]

Billy's not dead 😂

[@shygemini6893]

That whole album is 🔥! Chk out their power ballad - “Next To Be With You” 🙂

[@noelmanalang9945]

Billy!?It was Pat who passed away 😊

[@thunderspike1892]

Check out Shy Boy live. Incredible playing by Sheehan and Gilbert. Originally made by Sheehan's former band Talas. He also played it with David Lee Roth. Sadly you didn't choose the live version of Addicted To That Rush from Budokan, Japan 2009. Shy Boy live are also fantastic from Budokan. Sheehan and Gilbert really plays up to each other

[@michaelbrown2783]

You said Rest In Peace Billy. Pat the drummer is the one that passed away.

[@benkraze3103]

Next song from them, Take A Walk.

[@christopherhuff3123]

Thats at least a 15 on the 1 to 10

[@n8johnson67]

Billy Sheehan is still alive

[@6Bevilacqua]

Eric Martin Band 1983. Opened for them many times. Great Album you can find on Spotify, Bay Area favorites. Only one Album. Drummer went on to play with Tesla and guitar player is now with Y&T.

[@danielschartzer1396]

I believe Billy Sheehan is still living just saying I believe he's 69 years old

[@rhinno1969]

ahhh, Billy Sheehan ain't dead 🤔

[@redridernl]

I'm a bit late to this but this band is all heavy hitters. A bunch of bands from that time were trying to steal that singer and Paul Gilbert on guitar is top 5 maybe top 3 of all time.

[@xtop23]

Heh Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan...... yup Edit> 1-10? ...... ummmm, they're tough to beat unless you get to the true 1%'rs........... 9/10? For both?

[@joeyb.8613]

Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert obviously get a 10! Never a fan of Mr Big.... But loved Billy when he was with Talas and Paul with Racer X!

[@brianbuterbaugh8765]
