Billy Sheehan talks about VH tour

[binnie]

An interesting read.

He speaks sense about the Wolfie situation too...

Sheehan's right for staying out of it...one Eddie Van Halen in the band is enough...

One last question, we have read a lot of stories on the internet that you were asked to be the bas player for the Van Halen reunion tour. Can you comment on that?

I did get a call, we didn’t get into any formal negotiations or anything, but I did a couple of calls, but it never got to a point where I could say yes or no, but I’m kind of glad it never got there because it just kinda looks like a mess, and I feel bad for those guys. I mean, I love Van Halen, but it’s just a mess and I think it’s a mistake to be taking 15-year old kid out in that kind of environment. (Referring to Eddie’ son, Wolfgang). If I was his mom I would say, “Absolutely not.”

But, I wish them well. I love Ed. I love Dave. I love Alex and Mike too, and that’s how it should be. I did get a couple calls initially regarding it, it never turned into anything, but over the years, every couple of months a call comes through and various things are entertained, I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but as far as I know now, it’s been postponed. I don’t know anything about it other than that.

lol if he was the new bassist, it would have raised some interesting questions.

1) Whodathunk that the Eat 'em and Smile lineup would one day be half of a Van Halen reunion!
2) Kinda gives new meaning to the words 'The Other Half'
3) I don't know which would be worth more, a bootlegged copy of the new album OR a bootlegged copy of a team meeting over the setlist!

Billy Sheehan is the most straight cut the crap I am a rock star out there with someone of his talent.I think the guy is amazingly humble and he really lets the people that don't have a clue how the music business works explains things.He is a class act.I can see how Eddie would like a guy on the team since he doesn't play head games.

Is there a Billy Sheehan Project album that took the world by fire and influenced an entire generation? As far as bass goes, Ox had it right when he said, "I'm not quiet, everybody else is just too loud."
