Very good dexterity, but so much wasted talent. Where's the groove, the melody? No sir, thats a great guitarist on a bass.
If I want gymnastics on bass I'll listen to Jaco. He could out play Billy any day, and it still sounded like a bass. That's because he understood the bass' place in the music and excelled at stretching those bounds, not destroying them.
Listen, learn, this is how its done............."Slang"
"Hear that O.F.? If old school Army gals with solid track records of contribution choose to bless us with their tits, ass, vagina, or just sexy eye shots, leave them be (at least until I've had a chance to rub one out)..."
That is all.
Icon.

That was a complete waste of time. diamondjimi is exactly right, Sheehan is a frustrated guitarist. I'd rather listen to 10 consecutive Michael Anthony bass solos than listen to that horse shit wankoff again.
If you got into bass to melt steel, you got into the wrong instrument. I've said it before and I'll say it again, John Alderete is the PREMIERE bassist to back a guitarist for any kind of bass theatrics, simply because he can outshred the best of them BUT manages to do it with class, style, tact and more than a slight tip of the hat to Jaco Pastorius. Alderete essentially IS a metal Pastorius, perfected.
Sheehan may as well be playing guitar, honestly. At the very least, he'd sound like any other jackoff in the bar on Friday night.
I'm more impressed with somebody who actually knows what the bass is FOR and brings it forth with precission and technical expertise while being interesting. "Yngwie on Bass" does nothing for me either for entertainment or education.
I think the bass should add some excitement to a song. I always liked players like John Paul Jones, Jack Bruce, Chris Squire, Jack Casady, and Geddy Lee.
You hear the bass and it's being played up front as an instrument and not just keeping rythum with the drummer. Great tones. But it's all incorporated into a song. That's how you do it.
Heck. I even liked John Taylor of Duran Duran. His bass lines on Rio still hold up and he had some great tone going.
