1992Mr. Big

Help me
Remember 'bout the time
And won't you tell me
Anything you find
What did they write
In the history book
You know the story gets better
If you know how to look
I can't believe that
That was really me
Won't you tell me
Everything you see
What did I do
And what did I know
When I rocked this world
Twenty five years ago


Thought about a girl that I once knew
Put her in a song with some greens and blues
Wore somebody's shirt that I didn't choose
But the fans were screaming, so I couldn't refuse
Record company said to us, thank you, man
Then they threw us right into the garbage can
But the good people listened, and they pulled us through
I was number 1
In 1992

Catch me
I'm climbing up the walls
Won't you heal me
Taken too many falls
I got the scars
Putting in my time
Started up 'round
'89
It took me three years
To find my groove
It felt look pushing
On a stone that wouldn't move
I've been moving way too fast
Just blowing past the people saying
It wouldn't last

Thought about a girl that I once knew
Put her in a song with some greens and blues
Wore somebody's shirt that I didn't choose
But the fans were screaming, so I couldn't refuse
Record company said to us, thank you, man
Then they threw us right into the garbage can
But the good people listened, and they pulled us through
I was number 1
In 1992

I went from sleeping on the floor
To being the one the kids adore
Right time, right place, the golden age
That spotlight hit me on the stage

Thought about a girl that I once knew
Put her in a song with some greens and blues
Wore somebody's shirt that I didn't choose
But the fans were screaming, so I couldn't refuse
Record company said to us, thank you, man
Then they threw us right into the garbage can
But the good people listened, and they pulled us through
I was number 1

Mr. Big

Mr. Big is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Pat Torpey (drums, percussion, backing vocals). They are noted especially for their music, and have scored a number of hits. Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include “To Be with You” (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and “Just Take My Heart”. The band takes its name from a song by Free, which it covered on the 1993 album Bump Ahead.

Mr. Big remained active and popular for over a decade despite internal conflicts and changing music trends, releasing four studio Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), Bump Ahead (1993) and Hey Man (1996). Guitarist Paul Gilbert departed the band in 1999, and Richie Kotzen was brought as a guitarist and vocalist. The band released two more albums with this Get Over It (1999) and Actual Size (2001). Mr. Big broke up in 2002.

Following requests from fans, Mr. Big reunited with its original line-up in 2009. The band’s first post-reunion tour was in Japan. In 2010, Mr. Big released its first album in 15 years with the same What If…. During the recording of the follow-up album …The Stories We Could Tell (2014), Pat Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and participated only marginally as a drum producer and touring support. The band’s ninth album, Defying Gravity (2017), was its last record involving Torpey; he died the following year. Not wanting to continue without Torpey, the band intends to release a final studio album, conduct a farewell tour and disband.
