🎼19 March 1953. Happy Birthday πŸ₯³πŸΎto 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 / showmanπŸŽ™#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!)... πŸ€” Today he is a permanent member of hard prog rock supergroup The Winery Dogs along with 2 huge masters of 🎸, #RichieKotzen, and πŸ₯, #MikePortnoy.
Here's a remarkable 😳😱 live guitar/bass solo by the duo Sheehan / Vai. In the Chat Room πŸ‘‡I post 2 songs of #MrBig and The #WineryDogs: of course you can post your favorite ones πŸ˜ƒ

🎼6 November 1966. Happy 55th Birthday πŸ₯³πŸΎ to another #guitarist extraordinaire 🎸(and this time a good vocalist too), Mr. Paul Gilbert, born Paul Brandon Gilbert in Carbondale, Illinois, U.S.A.
He is rated among the 50 best hard rock and heavy metal guitarists and his career spans through 4 decades: he started as member of Los Angeles Heavy⚑️Metal band Racer X in the 1980s, his career had a boost in 1988 when he joined #bassist monster #BillySheehan, #vocalist #EricMartin and #drummer #PatTorpey to found the supergroup Mr. Big, destined to become one of the most famous and acclaimed hard rock bands of the early 1990s ! πŸ€ŸπŸ‘
#PaulGilbert has also released 16 solo albums to date and... I know he likes to come to Venice whenever he can πŸ˜‰
Here's a fantastic #MrBig song of 30 years ago (1991) when they were... so big! 😎 And a young Gilbert abusing his guitar πŸŽΈπŸ˜³πŸ‘‡

Every summer in Forte Marghera
