Cool vid. This is kinda off topic, but I was wondering if Paul and Billy get along. I have no reason to suspect they don't but Paul had a song called SVT on his Space Ship One CD and it seemed to be a slam towards somebody, but knowing paul, it was just probably meant to be a humorous rock song.
I love my SVT
Don't need no MTV
I'm gonna play my bass
Vibrate your whole damn face
Melt your ears like icecubes
Crank up my power tubes
Everybody stop and listen to me
I got a whole lotta nothing to say
Except hey, hey, hey, hey
SVT, SVT, SVT, SVT

I remember thinking Mr. Big was going to be awesome..with PG coming out of Racer X and Sheehan from DLR it was going to be the ultimate rock band....
until the cd came out and it was basically light weight radio rock more akin to Bryan Adams or Journey
I did see them Live and they were very professional and seemed to rock harder...

Paul used to play Ampeg SVT amps... It's just a humorous song he created.

Loved that band. Should have been huge, but I think they were a little late.
I get the impression that nobody was really getting along by the end. Sheehan had this to say about the reunion in a recent interview:
Todd: What were the main motivations behind Mr. Big reuniting? I had always assumed, based solely on the rumors and half-truths that circulated in the press, that a full-fledged reunion simply would not be realistic…
Billy: “One of the beginnings of that was when Paul (Gilbert) played on Holy Cow on the song “Dynamic Exhilarator”. It was the first time we had worked in a studio together since we had been in Mr. Big together. We jammed a zillion times and we hang out together a lot because we’re both here in L.A., but we never actually thought about working together. When he came in to do the solo on “Dynamic Exhilarator”, we had a blast. It was awesome. He did a great, great solo. The first one is amazing and the second one somehow tops it (laughs). So after that, we had a little more organized jam here in L.A. when he played with his band. Ritchie Kotzen was there and Pat Torpey was there and we played a couple of Mr. Big songs. The crowd went out of their minds and we were like ‘The only thing that could top this is if (vocalist) Eric (Martin) was here’. So a couple of E-Mails started floating back and forth and the next thing you know, we said ‘Well, let’s get together and have dinner just to hang’ and right at that point, we just said ‘Yeah, let’s just do it’. The good thing about it is that nobody dangled cash in front of us. It didn’t come from outside of us. It wasn’t where someone had an idea and said ‘Yeah, let’s put your band back together. Let’s put you on a bus somewhere for six months before you break up again’. So it actually came from us, from our desire to really want to play together again and how much we loved the band. It was self-generated and organic in that respect, so now it’s going to happen again.”
Todd: Once the reunion commenced, how difficult was it to avoid the animosities and difficulties of the past?
Billy: “I didn’t notice a thing. We were together in Japan for a whole week in close quarters doing press for the upcoming tour, the upcoming releases and things like that and they had a hard time getting us from one room into the interview room because we were so busy telling stories about adventures we’ve had since the band and during the band. We had people around us the whole time. I remember asking the translator…I forget what her name was ‘You’ve been around us the whole time, translating everything. …You can tell people this is the real thing, right? And she says ‘Tell them? I’m going to write a book about it’. So we actually did have a great time. Most of the animosities of the past, the difficulties are like when you meet an old friend that you grew up with all through your youth, but for some reason, in the fifth grade, you had a fight and never talked to each other again. Well, when you get back together again, it’s like it never happened. It was very much like that.”

I really don't think this is live. It looks like a video to promote their appearances in Japan.

I was at that show at the House of Blues on Sunset, Paul and Richie together and switching out vocals. It was amazing!
Billy was wrong, they should have left that Michael-Bolton-wannabee's ass out!

The singer looks like the kid who stars in 'Almost Famous'.
zzzzzzz
Wow, horrible doesn't even begin to describe that video. Zero vibe, they look like strangers singing out of tune in the same room.
