    Biily Sheehan ..tribute to DLR

    Saw it on melodicrock.com:

    BILLY SHEEN CONTRIBUTES DLR LINER NOTES:
    Amid his busy recording and touring schedule, Billy Sheehan took out time this past fall to contribute the liner notes to just released Just Like Paradise A Millennium Tribute to Diamond David Lee Roth. Among other things, Sheehan praised Dave for "changing my whole point of view on communicating to the audience from stage, of balance between showmanship and musicianship, and of the importance of living life like you mean it." Sheehan is presently touring with Steve Vai in support of the bassist's recently released solo album, Cosmic Troubadour.



    Thats great.......

      Yes, thanks for the news, Driver. But is it that great to learn about? WTF do Vai and Sheehan play on stage? Wouldn't it be much greater if they were touring with Dave?

          My thoughts exactly. Knock off the redundant bass and guitar solo wanking that JOE SATRIANI & STU HAMM have already beaten to death, and get with DAVE to make real songs...

              I dont understand why he and billy dont just get together and just jam?

              If they have no hard feelings...why cant they unite for some songs?

              Weird...

                  When I went to the Eat'em and Smile show, Sheehan and Vai where Fucking Unreal. Too bad DLR didn't keep that band together.

                      Roth drove out Sheehan with the over-producing of Skyscraper, Billy thought the album was shit....

                          I've read Billy Sheehan saying that the demos for SkyScraper were much rawer and more hard rocking. David should have stayed with Ted Templeman but I still like the cd anyways because its still David Lee Roth and nothing beats that.
                          "Who can tell what's going to happen in the years to come? We take it day by day, here today, gone later today. You don't stop and worry. You don't stop, look in the rearview mirror and say "Did I do this right?" People who always look in the rearview mirror tend to swerve off the road. I'm sorry but the rearview mirror is like sitting up there for one reason... It's an object so that you can tilt the mirror, look at yourself and see how cool you are when you're getting somewhere.

                          That's pure Zen man..." - DLR, 1982

                                              Isn't the riff between Dave and Vai. They just don't work good together or some bullshit?

                                                  Kind of. They both come from a different school of approach. A lot of people seem to forget that "Skyscraper" was just as much Vai's baby as it was Dave's. Dave said that production-wise, Vai was the "co-pilot"._I think some of their collaborations paid off like "Damn Good," "Skyscraper" and what have you.

                                                  Vai's just more of a technical player IMO. Dave's more of a "feel" and "groove" singer. That's why Classic VH was so stellar. It was the ultimate melting pot.

                                                  I think "EEAS" sounded like it was being "forced" to sound like VH. Not a bad record by any means, just not my fave. I really did like the direction on "Skyscraper" and it's too bad that EEAS band didn't stay put for another couple of records. Sure, it would have been different but with those calibre of musicians along with Dave, anything could have been possible. Anyone who saw that lineup live in '86 would have to agree, no? They were awesome.
