🎼19 March 1953. Happy Birthday 🥳🍾to Mr. Billy Sheehan, born William Roland Sheehan in Buffalo, New York, USA.
He is only one of the most appreciated #bassist (aaaah, why there's not an emoji for bass!!!) in the world. Sheehan became popular within the hard rock and heavy metal scene 🤟of the 80s for being one of the most in demand sessionman and recording artist, in particular he collaborated for long time with #vocalist / showman🎙#DavidLeeRoth and guitar hero 🎸 #SteveVai.
In the 90s he was a founder and member of hard rock Supergroup Mr. Big (I'm sure everyone remembers them for just one song!)... 🤔 Today he is a permanent member of hard prog rock supergroup The Winery Dogs along with 2 huge masters of 🎸, #RichieKotzen, and 🥁, #MikePortnoy.
Here's a remarkable 😳😱 live guitar/bass solo by the duo Sheehan / Vai. In the Chat Room 👇I post 2 songs of #MrBig and The #WineryDogs: of course you can post your favorite ones 😃

G3 2005 Steve Vai & Billy Sheehan Solo
The Most Badass Solo Ever
🎼20 April 1967. Happy Birthday 🥳🍾to Mr. Mike Portnoy, born Michael Stephen Portnoy in Long Beach. New York, USA.
He's one of the best drummers 🥁 in the heavy progressive metal scene (and perhaps not just in that) and a legendary musician if you take a look at the infinite list of bands and projects in which he is involved 😳 as a #drummer, songwriter, lyricist and occasional vocalist.
After founding and playing for 25 years in the most important progressive metal band, #DreamTheater, he is currently member of Neal Morse Band and supergroups such as Flying Colors, Transatlantic, The Winery Dogs, Liquid Tension Experiment, Metal Allegiance and Sons of Apollo... plus past bands like #AdrenalineMob, #AvengedSevenfold and guest playing in uncountable albums.
I share his last drum cam playthrough from his youtube channel: I can't play drums so I just watched in religious silence🙏🏻without understanding what he does 😳... but I'm surprised by some fellow drummers' comments who don't quite get it either 😱😉
