Bassist Billy Sheehan
The U.S. & Eh?! Political Talk Show with @MikeNordstrom3 & @Mr_Pinko – CALL in # (323) 870-3371
8:00pm – 10:00pm EST
Tonight’s Show includes * Special Guest * Billy Sheehan from Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, Niacin, Talas, UFO, The Winery Dogs
Billy Sheehan has played bass on dozens of records and toured all over the world for many decades. His unique and original style of playing has been celebrated and documented everywhere. His playing, singing, songwriting, and contributions to his many recordings have resulted in millions of records sold, Platinum and Gold status worldwide, Reader’s Poll Awards too many to list, Number #1 hits, Number #1 Video’s, sold-out shows, and most importantly the mutual love, friendship and respect between himself and many millions of fans around the globe.
Most recently Billy joined Mike Portnoy and Richie Kotzen to form “:The Winery Dogs”. Their first release in July of 2013 entered the BillBoard Top 200 Albums at #27…and has been received everywhere with spectacular reviews and sold-out shows.Starting in his hometown of Buffalo, NY in the early ’70’s with the now legendary hard rock trio Talas, he went on to join David Lee Roth in the summer of ’85 when Dave quit Van Halen to go out on his own. Along with Steve Vai & Gregg Bissonette, the legendary Eat ‘Em and Smile record and tour went on to platinum status and sold out shows everywhere. Leaving in 1987 to start his own new band, he founded Mr. Big, who went on to achieve a number one hit in fourteen countries, staying number 1 in the USA BillBoard charts for 3 solid weeks. Along with Mr Big members Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert and Pat Torpey, they recorded and toured the world for a decade more, till disbanding in 2002. During that time he found time to start “Niacin” a fusion/blues trio based around the Hammond B3 sound that featured drummer Dennis Chambers. He rejoined his old bandmate Steve Vai for several tours as well as Steve’s “Real Illusions” record and tour. After he released several solo records and much more, Mr Big reunited in 2009 and performed a sold-out world tour, and then recorded “What If…” in 2011…to rave reviews and another sold-out world tour.
With his history of live performances and/or recordings with Talas, UFO, David Lee Roth, Mr. Big, Niacin, Steve Vai and now The Winery Dogs, he has had ahuge and undeniable influence on modern bass playing that has spread all over the globe, and will continue for many years to come.
I remember all the controversy back when David Lee Roth went his own way. He did a great job at getting the best talent around him and made a success out of it despite all his detractors. In some ways made Eddie seem like a cry baby at the time. Sammy Hagar was okay with Van Halen, but DLR I think did better at the time.
I know there are so many stories on the music scene, probably thousands that have to due with dissatisfaction, romance, breakups, boozin’ & druggin’, early deaths and so on that it’s no wonder there is constantly new material! Long live rock!
There is no other industry more f’ed up than that industry because it has the most artists collaborating without a single point of direction and authority.
Looking forward to hearing from Premier bassist, Mr. Sheehan!
Hey Mr. P, I’m getting a consistent 404 error on the link.
Question for you guys: I know you talked last week about wanting a show on SiriusXM Radio.
What can we do to get them interested? I have to renew next month and I want to add a note about your show. I will tell them to check out your old shows (I’ll give them the websites for them).
What contact email should I give them should they want to talk to you?
Abigail, I’m listening here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/usandeh/2018/08/21/us-eh-talk-show-w-mikenordstrom3-mrpinko-august-20th-2018
Mr. Pinko
Warning track power.
Potential has a shelf life.
Mike; awwwwwww, BLUSH!
Yup, I can go direct to BTR, but the link from here wasn’t working.
Is the whole show tonight about music? Just wondering…
Does Mike N’s mic blowing out the base on anyone else’s system, or is it just me?
WRT what ChristianPDX is saying about conservative blacks being targeted. It’s not about skin color for the Left. I’m not sure it ever was (sorta sure it never was). It’s about using whatever is handy to press their postmodern crap. Now that blacks are leaving the Left in droves, it is the illegal alien — primarily Mexican and So. American. This also explains how women haven’t been the hot topic (except by radical women) on the Left for quite a while.
Billy Sheehan re-scheduled for next Monday’s show. He sends his apologies.
I’m sorry I couldn’t attend either.
I will reschedule… 🙂
Loco, please, stop with the hookers! LOL
OKAY. I’M CALLING IN MONDAY NIGHT!
