When I was much, much younger, I got to see Van Halen in concert. This was back when Sammy Hagar was the singer and Michael Anthony was the bass player. When they let him have a chance to perform a bass solo, I’m not kidding – everyone in the audience got up and went to get a new beer. There’s a reason that Geddy Lee of Rush keeps his solos short and sweet and sticks them in the middle of a song.
