Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way, when people watch, they’ll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better. – Billy Sheehan
I didn’t follow the standard rules of bass playing, and many musicians on many different instruments who became noteworthy for their unique or particular style did a very similar thing. – Billy Sheehan
My home studio is my private instrument for me only. It’s not intended to record anyone but me. – Billy Sheehan
It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much. – Billy Sheehan
We’ll see some simplistic players for a while, who’ll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music. – Billy Sheehan
And no again: My studio is not a first or any step toward becoming any type of businessman on my part. – Billy Sheehan
I listened to many different types of instruments and music, and have always tried to look at the bass as an instrument as opposed to only a bass. – Billy Sheehan
I love a lot of reggae, but I’ve never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys. – Billy Sheehan
I think the future looks great for music, musicians, bass players, and all we love about music. – Billy Sheehan
