BILLY SHEEHAN Says New TALAS Studio Album Is Shaping Up To Be 'Really Cool'Although TALAS started out by playing covers, it eventually introduced originals to its setlist. "We're just about to finish [the] new TALAS record," Sheehan told "Music Matters" host Darrell Craig Harris (see video below). "That's the version of TALAS that I left in '85 to go join Dave [Lee Roth's solo band]. And instead of rewriting the songs better and smarter, because I know a lot more now than I did then, [we wanted] to do it like we did it when we did it. And so we're doing exactly a little snapshot of what we did back in 1985 — from the heart and for real. And it's really cool, it's shaping up to be. The drummer, Mark Miller, is as good as ever, and he was just one of the greatest drummers. "We're doing all songs that we never really recorded in the studio," he continued. "Some we did on the 'Live Speed On Ice' record, but they were never recorded for real in the studio. All those songs are all the songs from our live set, which we never recorded. It's kind of just a snapshot of the way we left it back when we did." TALAS's new album will be released through Metal Blade Records. Kings of the Buffalo bar circuit, TALAS slogged it out through the 1970s and 1980s, hoping for the breakthrough that never quite came. When David Lee Roth left VAN HALEN, Sheehan immediately joined Roth's band, putting an effective end to TALAS. In 2017, Sheehan rerformed TALAS with a lineup featuring Phil Naro and Mark Miller, along with new member Kire Najdovski, to play at the "Bands At Barnard" charity event in Greece. The group has played sporadic shows since then. Last month, Naro revealed that he is battling tongue cancer. The 62-year-old musician told iHeartRadio.ca that his cancer returned in the fall of 2019, six years after he had a tumor removed from his neck. Sheehan's penchant for innovation has revolutionized the way the bass guitar is played. He formed MR. BIG in 1989, achieving a Billboard No. 1 single in the USA and 14 other countries with "To Be With You" from the band's second Atlantic Records album release, "Lean Into It". While developing his trademark style of playing, he performed over 4,000 live gigs on every continent except Africa and Antarctica. .
