Re: "The Official" Mr. Big Thread
Holy effen shiz!!! I can not believe there isn't more love for these guys! They have featured a bass God (Billy Sheehan), two virtuoso guitarists (Paul Gilbert and Richie Kotzen) and one of the most distinct voices in rock (Eric Martin) over their career. Pat Torpey ain't bad on the skins, either. Granted... their timing was bad coming into prominence when Kurt Cobain was busy destroying rock but guess who is still around in 2011.
Blows my mind that there hasn't even been an update on the new disc which is prolly the best of their career.
What If... was released earlier this year and is a monster. If you are new to this band then start here and work your way back. If you are an old fan that lost touch since they couldn't get played on American "so-called" radio then do yourself a favor and catch up to a band that have been huge in Japan and Europe for the last 20 years where ppl were still listening to rock instead of rap and pop crap. Off the soapbox for now...
