Paul Gilbert - Blue Orpheus (2010) *High Quality*

[13brianmay]

Sounds Like Brian may at the start =) Paul is a different kind of awesome tho

[xXTiberiusXx]

i hear some 'echo song' / buckethead's 'my sheetz' *(chicken pickin')

[Roguestandards]

@xXTiberiusXx well buckethead was taught by paul at one point in time so he has almost the same playing style that paul has.

[TheKobe246]

One of my fav

[bangermccrusher]

just fucking WOW!

[MrMjl777]

Reminds me of the solo that Dave Weiner played on the live at the Astoria DVD.

[shishir16089]

oh my god the riff hit me by surprise ...i was expecting some rock and roll fuzzy tone ..

[62JazzBjorn]

Very nice played melodic hevy sounded "rock", with a lot of daring new thinking!

[boomaloco]

0:48 - 1:20 is where the real detective feel of this version of the song comes in.

I heard Davis Films (producers of Resident Evil) acquired the rights for Golgo 13. This should be one of the soundtrack songs, if not the main theme. Especially 0:22- 1:20

[sixpounder6169]

love this tune! it sounds so classy

[xyragu]

IF i could describe what is perfect in the world, i´m sure this music is a good choice!

[zwischenschicht]

5 broken dicksnears

[caiaum2]

this guy is crazy!

this and erotic cakes are the best guitar albums!

[H057IL3]

I love how this shows up in Youtube search before Todd's original version XD

[Daim0th]

This shit rocks.

[666littleman]

SUCKS DICK LIKE YOU BITCH

[catapei]

the best of this album!!!

[artcellrox]

Why does this have more views than the Todd Rundgren original. Granted, they're both awesome and I like this version better, but they should be on equal footing. Come on, people!

[c4r50n1]

@artcellrox Well, people watch videos more than once.

[8node]

"a great song" wouldn't be enough to describe this :o

[gerardojguardia]

Wow que bueno es!!!- estoy poniendolo en mi facebook! ...gracias por bajar esto a Youtube! Quiero comprar un CD de Paul

[prototypeko]

part 3:08 - 3:27 just got GILBERTIZED!!!

[axeman1009]

Great to hear a guitarist like Paul Gilbert giving Todd Rundgren with this wonderful version of "Blue Orpheus". I remember being pissed off when first hearing this album of Todd's, and a week later it being one of my favorites...

[shreadx]

sounded a bit like knight rider lol

[lebannerfan65]

I hear a little Liquid Tension Experiment starting from 0.30!

[c4r50n1]

IF THEY EVER MAKE "LAW & ORDER : 70's FUZZ" THAN THIS SHOULD BE THE THEME!! Well at least from 0:22-0:30 :D

[DrFish]

@kitchenkreek I watched him play it live, Its off fuzz universe :D

[asiat30]

The melodie to 21sec to 31sec look like the song of K2000. XD

[EvalPanda]

awesome sauce.

[WorthyAlanGarza]

you can hear some of the "Echo Song" in there

[Guitrancerevolution]

@WorthyAlanGarza Its just the same effect

[PGManiac]

Hey, there is one pitiful human who didn't like this song...

I wonder why....?

[PGManiac]

I think it sounds like Satch style..

Awesome...

Two thumbs up..

[yootesa1515]

wow just getting into gilbert wow.

[sawpd]

wow..... no matter how many songs i listen to, i'm still AMAZED at how freaking insanely awesome Paul gilbert is.

[armandj3]

this song is genius, but you must check out the original...from Todd Rundgren...

[taradead]

really dig this one, but I've been a rundgren fan since way back (would kinda like to hear todd's vocals over it ). Has a lot of feeling...and not a bit of shred on the whole thing. Great road tune.

[DaddySoulDonut]

Anyone else totally getting a Satch vibe off this track? I know its a cover but... this whole album is just terrific. Satch and Gilbert have always been my favs and now its like theyre meshing togethor!

[chickensoupz376]

@DaddySoulDonut i always felt like this song would be the brain child of a buckethead/macalpine collaboration. but yeah, after listening to it, it definitely makes me think of satch as well.

[DaddySoulDonut]

@chickensoupz376 Yeah especially the quick little delay intro at :28

[K1NGDANG3R]

I had no idea this was a Todd Rundgren cover tune till today. I love this album!

[cfhwah]

You can hear the Jeff Beck influence in this one.... always so good. Paul is the real deal, always better.

[mitchtube3]

knight rider.

[JUSTING101]

Yngwie Malmsteen Disliked this video 1 time =[

[RickFreeloader]

0:00 - 0:20 Brian May time!!

[Devan421]

love how he brings back the echo !

[enonimoose]

in parts it sounds quite like echo song, but the rest of the album is asoultely amazing, his ultra new ultra clean style of playing is truly awesome and im always impressed how he keeps getting these new sounds out of a guitar :)

[atquinn1975]

I love the original sound (and album)! The original can't be touched, put PG does a pretty good (surprisingly faithful) job.

[isi039]

i just love the the tone in the intro and again starting at 3:10

[thebuddybud]

I heard the song and I HAD to comment on a youtube vid about it. I love this song so much, holy shit.

Also, please buy his album so he continues to make this music

[BarendTV]

The intro is just epic!

Paul is an awesome guy!

[patroclus106440]

This album is awesome and so is this song! That bass line reminds me of "Jungle Love" by Morris Day and The Time!

[F4TB0Y69]

@patroclus106440 haha Jay & Silent Bob, awe man Morris Day was like the legend of that film, yeah I think it is the same bass line.

[NIGHTROCKER70]

this song is purely fucking epic!!! personal fav.....

[Onetaura]

a gret instrumentalist ...but I want the SONG also

[dali246987]

this song is not good enough....

[bgtr123]

Maybe Todd & Paul will perform this live one day!

[Tow0]

sounds kind of like did Ozric Tentacles in 80's

[Shoif]

The part starting at 22 seconds in sounds like Stardust Speedway's Bad Future music from the NA version of Sonic CD.

[joelmalmsteen]

Can anyone say Brian May during the first 20 seconds?!

Amazing.

[dchisey]

0:36-0:47 ...michael lee firkins, anyone?

[StringzOfFury]

@dchisey lol too bad im gonna be like the only one who gets that because noone knows who Michael lee firkins is

[Pusola18]

it's blues

[josiahgust]

Paul gets plenty of respect for being a shredder of universal proportions. However, I'm finding that I'm falling for him more and more for his creativity. Solos aside, the man is one of the best rhythm guitarists ever. He is a riff machine. 20+ albums later he's still keeping it fresh as well as having more fun than anyone else in the biz. Much respect. Long live the Paul.

[faxbadload]

@josiahgust long live the paul!

[fobsternd]

@josiahgust dont forget buckehtead

[ironblud]

@josiahgust

Not only is he keeping it fresh he challenges himself to play better. And he is getting better, can you imagine???

[guitarristaheavy616]

@josiahgust because of Paul, I think is harder to create riffs than solos, but when you create a riff completely new and never-done-before (out of pentatonic), the self-satisfaction sensation is awesome!

[RWMunchkin12788]

@josiahgust I'm sure you've already gotten tons of replies to this... but you pointed out something I didn't even think to put my finger on. He really is a riff monster. Not to mention his playing style is impeccably clean. Maybe his expertise in this comes from his time with Mr. Big. I guess being a crazily good guitarist and needing to play within the confines of a band enabled him to really get good with riffs.

[josiahgust]

@RWMunchkin12788 I think he was already there to some degree, but being in MR BIG definitely opened him up a lot more than Racer X. I believe the way it was put on their myspace years ago was "We are a band of shredders who understand the importance of songcraft" I can't think of a better way to put it.

[AVFC0711]

@josiahgust

incase you didnt already know, this is a cover song from an artist named todd rundgren

[UltimateKyle281]

im talkin bout mustaches!!!

[ReXIX2]

This sounds like something you can hear in the background in miami vice haha :D

[detroitrockcity22]

this album is amazing!!!

[Guitar44789]

this is an awesome song, how did you get this :) ? Thank You for uploading bitchslapper12

[vintageuser]

hahaa 0:10-0:20 Reminds me of Queen!

[TheElphy]

0:22 - 0:30 sounds like some awesome 70's cop show tune

[claudiokun2007]

@TheElphy yeah made me think of "Supercar" main theme hehehe

[MrRyubusa]

@TheElphy The whole song does, it's awesome!

[gunnerboy773]

:D i wanna buy it!

[vaifi]

sweeeeet!!

[TomyyY90]

[casco18]

Echo song?? kind of ...

[wesselbindt]

Nice queen-like intro.

[hirshburger13]

@wesselbindt yea i thought the same thing!

[TheLivingDead111]

Love this album and especially this song! Thanks for uploading it!

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

there's like so many changes at the start of this song!

i really like the solo-type thing that starts at 2:34
