    Thank you (Bytorsdog). These down-to-earth musicians are working as hard as they can to create music for us, musicians. Maybe Billy or Eddie can hopefully ask other talented drummers? Such as, Terry Bozzio/Missing-Persons, Danny Carey/Tool, Scott Travis/Racer-X, Judas-Priest, or Chris Alder/Lamb of God? I am speaking from a Musician’s Point-of-View. I am hoping these veterans can pull this off. I am so tired of these New Rock on MTV. MTV today is ruining today’s young musicians. :P aul

    I read an interview with Billy Sheehan years ago in Guitar Player mag. when he was with David Lee Roth. He said that Dave and Eddie wanted to bring him on as Bass player for Van Halen at one point after Talas opened for them in Buffalo, but Alex objected for some reason. Thats all he said about it, but I hope that sheds some light on your pending question for the Bass Master.

    While growing up in Missouri. My Bass influence was Billy Sheehan of TALAS. Currently I have notice that Billy is currently reunited with MR. BIG. That’s OK. I just wanna ask Billy. If he has ever ask Eddie Van Halen to do a Band Project? The (HAMMER-N-TAP-ON) KINGS of Bass and Electric Guitar. It is Cool to Do the ReUnion Thing, but Is there a Chance to Keep Musicianship FORWARD? Keep Rockin’ Billy! The Master of Rock Bass!!! From Paul-25yr-bassplayer veteran. Peace Out.

    Sure they would have gotten heard. I live in Jax, FL (where they evidently opened for Van Halen. LOL) and I was listening to Talas when “High Speed On Ice” came out. My Bass player was from New York and he used to see Sheehan all the time, and he said that Joey DeMaio from Manowar was another regional bass player who was really well known in the late 70’s before Manowar was formed.

    Yamaha endorsement aside, I wonder if Billy could have pulled the old “Wife” P-Bass off the shelf for a few songs? That would have been cool as hell.

    It’s funny that you mentioned these two bands at once because my friends & I discovered Talas & Riot both in 80 & 81 when we saw them in Jax., FL. opening for Van Halen & Rush respectively. Billy totally blew us away & primed us for Eddie, and Sandy Slavin was every bit as intense on the kit as Neil Peart. Good times indeed!

    It’s a great thing that Billy Sheehan became a star after Talas otherwise all of their great songs would never have been heard

    F’in A! I bought this album back in 1980 and my friends thought it kicked ass. I yep…I still have this lp. I put in on a cassette with Riot “fire down under” and cranked it as I rode around in 71 charger…those were the days!

    I just wish the S.O.B. who “borrowed” my Talas album back in 1984, would finally return it.
