    3/29/12 Billy Sheehan Int - Pro Shot EEAS Footage, Remastered Sonrisa Salvaje in EUR

    http://www.bravewords.com/news/180809

    I just stuck with the shit that dealt with David...

    BraveWords.com: Years ago Talas opened up for Van Halen. You wrote the song ‘Shy Boy’ with Talas and it ended up being recorded by David Lee Roth and you joined his band. Have you followed Van Halen’s current tour and new album and do you still speak to David?

    Sheehan: “I haven’t spoken to him in a while, but we’re certainly on friendly excellent terms. I’m glad for him that he’s in Van Halen. I wish it were the original line-up. I miss not seeing Michael Anthony, but good for Eddie; he’s got his son in there and that’s cool. I’m a fan and it really would have been great to... Everybody is in good health and it would have been great. There’s no excuse... Mr. Big ended on a negative. We pulled it all together and are having a great time. I just wish other people could do the same, but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way. I wish them well just the same, but I haven’t followed. I saw a snippet of ‘Tattoo’. They looked good and seemed happy. So, I’m glad for them. I love all those guys. Their music and that band is a great part of my life in a lot of ways, so I hope they do great.”

    BraveWords.com: Eat ‘Em And Smile was one of the best albums of 1986. The song ‘Yankee Rose’ sounds as fresh today (in 2012) as it did in 1986...

    Sheehan: “That’s very kind of you to say. If it does sound ‘fresh, it’s because it really was ‘fresh’. When we went in and made that record it was real. We wrote together it a room. We hung out together. We recorded it together live in a room. It was all the real thing. That’s how real records were made back in the day. That’s why I think it lives to this day. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t get an email or comment about Eat ‘Em And Smile. Whether it’s Indonesia, Peru or wherever I travel, people have that record...”

    BraveWords.com: Would you like to be given the chance to play those songs live again with that band?

    Sheehan: “ABSOLUTELY! I’d love to.”

    BraveWords.com: Were you involved in the Spanish version of that album (Sonrisa Salvaje)?

    Sheehan: “Yeah - that was me and Dave. We sang the whole thing. It was my idea, but later on it turned into his manager’s idea because they thought it was a good idea.”

    BraveWords.com: Well, he gets paid to come up with the ideas...

    Sheehan: “No kidding, but I remember coming home on a flight from New York City after we were done doing the recording for Eat ‘Em And Smile. There was this article about what huge percentage eighteen year olds (the perfect age for rock fans) made up in Latin/South America. I knew David spoke a little Spanish and I thought ‘we should do the album in Spanish’. It would be great. So, we did. At the time, MISSING PERSONS were in the studio at night and we went in during the day. I was using Dale Bozzio’s mic and there was always her lipstick and perfume smell on the windscreen. Terry’s crazy electronic drums were set up. David coached me phonetically... When we played ‘Shy Boy’ this year in South America, we threw in a few ‘Tímido, Tímidos’.”

    BraveWords.com: I listen to that album every so often and musically it’s fantastic, but as an Anglophone it’s a kicker to hear ‘Loco Del Calor’ instead of ‘Goin’ Crazy’

    Sheehan: (Laughs) “I love it. I don’t know how well the album did because it’s hard to track things like that, but I must have signed hundreds of them in South America.”

    BraveWords.com: In case you weren’t aware, Sonrisa Salvaje is scheduled to be remastered and re-released in Europe this year.

    Sheehan: “I did not know that.”

    BraveWords.com: I’d really like a remastered version of the English Eat ‘Em And Smile...

    Sheehan: “You know, there’s a couple of bonus tracks they could put on Eat ‘Em And Smile and the original tour was shot professionally. There’s video and I’ve got it!”

    BraveWords.com: One more question about Sonrisa Salvaje. Did you simply sing over the existing tapes or did you also re-record the music?

    Sheehan: “We just re-did the vocals.”

    No doubt - that would be pretty sweet. Love to see a complete pro-shot vid of that tour get released. As for bonus tracks, I always thought the tune 'Bad Habits' from the 'Diamond Dave' album sounded like an EE&S leftover, but apparently that was cut a full decade later. His voice sounds great on that tune, very EE&S-ish. Kind of surprised there ARE any extra tracks from that session. From Dave's account in his book, they didn't have much time to come up with what they did.

    In a previous interview, Sheehan claimed to have the original master tape for SkyCrapper, before it became the keyboard drenched over-produced mess that caused him to leave the band. Can't believe he hasn't leaked that thing to the torrent sites yet.

    You and me both. As you know by now (thanks to our discussions on the subject over the years), words can not describe how badly I'd love to hear this thing.

    Take him to the prepared foods section and get him to try the killer mac and cheese. (Seriously.)

    I don't know if I would buy this remaster or not unless it did have some type of bonus materal.

    I agree. It's not like after listening to this album for the past quarter of a century or so that you're going to suddenly hear a triangle you've never heard before on "Ladies Night In Buffalo."

    I've been listening to the entire solo catalog lately, and EEAS and Skyscraper are definitely a step down sonically from everything else and the VH remasters. It could certainly use a remaster.

    I wonder if one of the 'bonus tracks' Billy is referring to is their version of this....


    I remember reading at the time that they were in the studio working on it....

    He was too busy going to the other keyboard drenched, powerballad shithole called Mr. Big....

    It would be a nice remastered package - CD (with bonus songs) + DVD.

    It's awesome that Sheehan realized they were really doing something special and kept all that stuff.

    Maybe the CD will just be EEAS and the EEAS demos which I've heard. What unreleased songs are from EEAS?

    hope springs eternal and after the last year all bets are off when it comes what we might get off these guys... all the impossible stuff we said would never happens seems to be a possibility ....
    The thought of a pro shot dvd of that line up would be amazing

    Yeah, funny how that worked out. First Sheehan quits for Mr. Big, then Vai leaves to join Covercheeseball's shiity hair band.

    Roth pulled out all the stops on that one. I loved the stage and lighting rig. It was about as full in your face rock and roll as you could get before people became conformists and such things upset people.

    After seeing van hagar 3 months previous, I knew what the real deal was when Uncle Dave hit town. His tour was what the next Van Halen tour should have been.

    WTF... still to this day - makes not a lick of sense, other than a gi-normous paycheck. Love Jason Becker, love ALAE, but also wonder what a third, proper rock album with Vai might have been like. I know there's some folks here that despise the guy as a 6-string wanker, but he filled some pretty big shoes at the time.

    From everything I've read, Vai just wasn't into the stuff Dave was doing by the time Skyscaper rolled around, which makes the switch the Whitesnake inexplicable except as a paycheck, agreed...because that Slip Of The Tongue album was fucking dreadful.

    I kinda like A Little Ain't Enough overall a bit more than Skyscaper, truth be told.

    Speaking of Vai, anybody remember when we had his journal from the EEAS tour up on the site? Or was that DDLR.com?

    Definitely remember Vai's journal - a must read for all Diamond Dave fans. Don't remember where I saw that first - but it was really the tour to end all tours from his perspective - like Dave never missed a beat, didn't pause at all from the VH days to his first solo tour.. total decadence and rock and roll extreme...

    From where I sit, ALAE is a way better album than Skyscaper. Pure rock. Sure, Dave's voice sounds better on Skyscraper, but the uber-over-the-top mixing of that album dates it beyond belief.. at least to my dumb ass ears.

    Just for the sheer impact alone EEAS has to be Dave's best solo record, in my drunken opinion. Damn, I remember waiting for that record and when I pressed play on the tape player - holy muther fucker!!!
