----------------------------------------
here now comes the rest of the MUSIC-
SCENE chapter so play with ya stick!!!
----------------------------------------
ok, on with this chapter...
hhhmmm! the review, first i have to say
that i was too lame to review the album
from mr.big myself spo i just copied it
from the BASS PLAYER number 4, volume 2,
july/august 1991. i hope you don't mind!
the album was already released in the
beginning of 1991 (feb/may).
i have to tell you that this magazine is
a magazine for bass players so the
review will be (most) about mr.big's
bass player billy sheehan.
well, let me start...
MR.BIG - LEAN INTO IT (atlantic)
---------------------
in interviews, billy sheehan always
points out that first and foremost he's
a BASS player, not a soloist. his work
on the latest mr.big disc confirms that;
more than ever, billy's commitment to
supporting the song comes through.
LEAN INTO IT is slicker and more
commercial than the band's debut, 1989's
MR.BIG, but the new album also sports
cleaner production and a more
interesting mix of styles. one thing
that hasn't changed is sheehan's famous
"CHAINSAW THROUGH CHOCOLATE PUDDING"
sound, a rich timbre with a smooth edge
of distortion - and it commands LEAN
INTO IT from the first measure. crank up
the opener, "daddy, brother, lover,
little boy", a rocket ride propelled by
billy's eighth-note pedaling and furious
fills. the tune features a crazy
cordless-drill duet - a high light of
mr.big's recent live shows - performed b
y billy and guitarist paul gilbert.
in the catchy "green - tinted sixties
mind", sheehan anchors the verses with
simple but effective chords, then
switches to a driving single-note line
for the chorus."just take my heart" is a
radio-ready power ballad opened by
billy's soulfull, high-register bends;
he takes brief, low-key leads after the
choruses, decorating the piece with
melodic descending apreggios.
another tune with hit potential is
"alive and kickin'", in which billy
pedals the root again, punctuating his
line with occasional tasty fills.
sheehan's tone is clearest in the song's
quiet interlude, in which he spins a
subdued solo, heavy on the chorus and
full of cross-string leaps, sustained
notes, and long rests; when the vocals
return he's pedaling again.
LEAN INTO IT may be a dissapointment to
those looking for extended talas-like
bass solos, but check it out if ou want
to hear billy sheehan do what he does
best: PLAY BASS.
well, this was the review of mr.big's
second album/disc. the review was
originaly meant for bass-players to read
but i gave you this one too. if you
listen to the album then please check
this review again and then you
understand why people like the bass so
much.
some facts about billy sheehan:
over the past 20 years billy has shared
the stage with everything from dog acts
to david lee roth. he also writes for
the bass player and to show you that he
is a funny guy i'll print a letter which
was sent in to him and the answer billy
gave on it.
- i've heard you have a knack for
finding the g-spot. whenever i'm
playing my bass and a girl walks into
the room, i try playing every g-spot
on the neck but nothing happens.
please help - i'm confused!
m.h. fenton
el cajon, ca
billy's answer:
aha, fenton! i knew you'd track me down
and try to response on this highly
sensitive and controversial issue.
maybe i do have a "knack", but if you
don't put your bass down for a while,
you'll never find it.(hint: it's not on
the neck, nut it's close to the g-string
)keep practising.
that was billy's answer...
i'll give you a hint too, say these four
lines are the strings of a bass-guitar:
----------------- e-string
----------------- a-string
----------------- d-string
----------------- g-string
as you see the g-string is the lowest.
this string is closest to your p***s!
so i guesse you now know what he means
by the g-spot.
okay enough craptalk about billy sheehan
and his band mr.big

you now.
