Paul Gilbert - Hurry Up

[OneManPants13]

haha when the riff really started my brain said "Limelight by Rush?" but it was Hurry Up by Paul Gilbert

[avataronly]

Heyo new ringtone for phone baby!

[OtherRealmer]

Apparently, this was written to try if a relatively slow song could still sound shreddy. I think that experiment worked out awesomely.

[batmayn123]

THis remind me of something CKY would play.. Check out "A#1 Roller Rager" or "Disengage the simulator" you'll see im right!

[MetalMicah57]

@faghater5 YYZ+New world man=Hurry up

[gijoevano]

man this sounds like something rush would play!! Great song

[8node]

1 idiot thought the like and dislike button is connected..

[wboyajian13]

its funny to hear such a happy song while paul is glaring at you on the album cover

[modzaregreat]

E major at its finest. No one but paul could make major sound so good.

[buckethead1996]

i luv this song! 

[PerpetualBurn17]

i can actually BELIEVE that someone's hand slipped. and that's ok bro. we understand that it happens.

[KornGP47]

We have on person who will not 'Hurry Up'.

[MONSQUEEKY]

hurry up! we have to get out of paul's yard before 12:12!

[clem070605]

1 person didn't get out of Paul's yard...

[destroyallnerds]

hurry up.

we better get out of his fucking yard!

[BUBBAm]

the beginning reminds me of old CKY.

[psychosean7]

@BUBBAm same.

[jimaevich]

1 dislike, one loser who dislikes his or her life :):)

[spanishphrygian]

haha I just found a new guitar hero haha. This is cool.

[delsaberx101]

this song gets some Christmas feel

[poshjarker]

reminds me of limelight

[CarmillaDeathStar]

my fav bit is at 1:37

[f22turboaccord]

heard him play this back in 07 at G3 FINALLY found it great song!!! him, bruce and Petrucci melted some serious faces that night they all sounded amazing!! sadly an emergancy came up and i had to leave early that night so missed Satriani and the Late night Jams

[1stRogInAz]

@f22turboaccord Sorry to hear that you had to leave early. However, Sounds like that you still got an earful that night with what you were able to enjoy.

[Nidaime299]

1 guy missed the thumbs up button

[delsaberx101]

this song has some Christmas feeling

[metalheadtiltheend]

Is this in 7/8?

[UrSkulled]

@metalheadtiltheend 6/8 I believe. I'm a retard at time signatures though

[Erkyos]

@UrSkulled No it's not 6/8 nor 7/8. Listen to the hi-hat. It's standard 4/4...

[j03FL]

@Erkyos .... thats the most ridiculous thing ever! the hi hats normally stay straight an actually that particular part goes 7/8 5/8 7/8 11/8 14/8 an thats how you count that lead part ( follow the bass line progression)

[CyberPutty]

@j03FL Its straight eighth notes most of the song. It alternates between 7/8, 3/4, and 4/4.

[DaronStorey]

this is so amazing omg!

[MrCamermon11]

This was the song that got me into Paul Gilbert, saw him at a Joe Satriani Concert.

so bloomin' amazing.

[MrCrazypaper]

woot!! got to love some of this older stuff that hes got going on :D big fan.

[jimh16]

this song makes me feel good. like everything is right in the world for once. i'm going to put it on my life sound track!

[Starkness1000]

Yeah...Rush! Never occurred to me...Rush on the best day of their lives (and I like Rush!).

[4lifeguitar]

The solo sounds like Mississippi Queen

[bloodymarriage]

@4lifeguitar lol similar but the feeling to the solos are different

[patrick0hardstyler]

long ago, in the age of dinosaurs, a meteor hit Earth.....revealing the magic baby with super long fingers....BEHOLD THE MIGHTY PAUL GILBERT..... his music was so super farkingly awesome that it killed all d fucking dinosaurs for they were unable to take in such shredness from heaven....

and that my friends, is how dinosaurs really died.... XD

[nymphetamine178]

IT ISNT SIIIIIIIR

[Zynthrax]

GET OUT OF MY YARD!

[nymphetamine178]

it isnt HA

[pedrofernandes1]

Paulo Gilberto RULEZ!!!!

[DonTerhune1200cc]

Most enjoyable to say the least.

[SuperMagnanimus]

OMG 4:05 sounds like Eudaimonia Overture!!!

[lloomoo]

eh kinda

[fjfelix20]

None better than Paul, hes the man!!!

[Crazytrainrocker]

my friend has the pgm300 that paul used to record the solo of curse of castle dragon

[neilcaraher]

Cool story bro...

[XxSameerxX]

@ Crazytrainrocker - And I my brother hangs out with Paul at the bar every Tuesday =)

[5lowrollD]

You guys are righ, this is really a great early Rush sound. I wish they still sounded like this. More clean sounding yet raw and cool punchy bass work. And of course the aggressive young Alex Lifeson

[Diffle]

Rush is just an all around amazing band, Neil Peart... <3

[Diffle]

Yeah, extremely Rush sounding. The beginning of his riff is the same as Limelight, I believe.

[lawlzInc]

@Diffle yup it is

[faghater5]

Rush sounding?Really......Hurry Up=Rush!!!!!

[Xx444nathan444xX]

Coincidence?

Lol.

[jacobcorr]

yes. i agree it is very rush esque =]

[devon123devon]

I saw Paul at a clinic in Hollywood and he said that rush was an influence on him. He even played a little of limelight. So i think its not a coincidence but more influence. :)

[HunterCoons]

@devon123devon he was in a rush cover band cygnus and the Seamonsters with mike portnoy and a few other dudes

[yeatsg]

@faghater5

yeah thats the first thing i thought of when i heard this. gilbert has such varrying influences: flamenco, classical music, light hearted prog rock. thats why he sticks out in my mind as the front runner in the shred guitarist vein.

[scuzzmang]

@yeatsg Rush is as heavy-hearted as any prog rock act, bar none. Their lyrics are at least as serious as those of Pink Floyd, and possibly more poignant. Don't be fooled by the instrumentation. They're as real as it gets.

[chandlerblancaflor]

@faghater5 i know, i didn't even catch that for so long till i was talking to a friend who pointed it out! that's paul gilbert's sense of humor for you... along with YRO when he totally and blatantly did his version Black Star...

[bobbyalligator7]

@faghater5 ........ I would'nt doubt it, I'm sure He IS friends with the Rush trio ... not too far fetched, is it ? ... I would like to see Paul Gilbert playing in Alex's place ... ya, I know, and take a deep breath ... it's just a thought ... but would'nt it be AWESOME !!! ... BONZAI >>>

[arrestedshrimp]

@faghater5 rush, hurry up and make a new album already

[GregTehGoose]

very Rush sounding, but good song.

[brightsuperstition]

This song sounds so...happy! I'm so used to listening to shredders aiming for a darker sound to their music. And here's an artist coming up with this sprightly and joyful sound! :D

[lawlzInc]

@brightsuperstition just like rush

[peniosasdasd]

@brightsuperstition

GET OUT OF MY YARD is the perfect leadup to this too.

I always thought they were the same song.

[bgainesDM]

@brightsuperstition That's the power of the major key

[ConerTheStoner]

@bgainesD*cough* major key + marijuana *cough*

[achemachew]

Paul painted F-holes on some of his guitars! awesome!

[evant95]

on all of his signature guitars actually.

thats kind of his........signature.

[achemachew]

I thought so! He makes the f-holes look great!

[ibanez3212]

ur fucking retarted the f holes look amazing

[achemachew]

Look who's talking! didn't I just say that the fucken F-holes look great a cooment ago? I believe that I did!!!!!!!!!!

[ibanez3212]

no u said the they look good...i say they look fucking amazing....retard

[achemachew]

Takes a huge retard to bitch about something so irrelevant as the fucken f-holes on his guitars. Give it up kid, you have no idea who your fucking with!

[ibanez3212]

judging by ur pic u look reaaaallll scary...

[achemachew]

Looks can deceive... LOL! You alright by me son!

[ibanez3212]

i was just messin around dude

[achemachew]

Yeah me too. Do you play the guitar?

[redbuffalo15]

Why you think it's called "Hurry Up"?

Hurry Up is synonym for Rush.

[wesselbindt]

I can play it up till about 2:20 excluding perfect sounding harmonics. Sadly, the rest is still too quick for me.

[TheWhocares233]

i exploded at 3:14 from pure amazement

[Teutonic1250]

Definitely some rush influence

[InnkeeperX]

Sounds like Limelight. A lot, actually. Not a bad thing... being derivative of something awesome.

[LtHolden]

I was thinking the same thing myself, lol. Great song is great.

[crazyhuyman]

He's always said he'd wished to get that "big, grand" sound that Eddie Van Halen was able to achieve, the first time Paul ever heard "Runnin' With The Devil".....

Well, it's been about 2 decades and Mr. Gilbert, you have more than exceeded your wishes in making such a memorable, enjoyable, modern-day classic in this song. It's reminiscent of so many things that make you who you are from the indescribable mythic sound of Rush to all your seemingly childhood inspirations all in one song. Congratz

[AstroBoy55555]

The guy does a really great angry redneck face on the album cover, gotta say.

[robwallis1]

haha, that picture is what made him call it: 'get out of my yard'

[Crazytrainrocker]

ya

wow

what guitar is that

it looks really close to pgm301

[SpecialMisterK]

Its actually a 12 gauge

[SimmiTN]

it is the pgm 700 :P really cool thing :) was suposed to look like a violin, or something.

[TimusOminere]

That zyu dude has issues ... On a different note, one that makes sense and has fuck all to do with "socitiy". This is an amazing song. Does it really matter where its from or how it formed, just enjoy it man and all guitarists like myself have to learn to play this! Im going to be up for days trying to get this down XD

[arias1772]

amen! good luck man i hope you get it down

[Stairway2Hell88]

yea man its a great song to learn. im just learning it myself right now. the solos are the hard part lol good luck!

[heavymetalwarrior725]

such a cool riff. i wish i had his talent

[jointz999]

Amazing riff. He opened the Irish concert last November with this song. Amazing riff to kick off the gig with the hammering bass drums.

[AlexanderDavidEhler1]

I love the Rush-ness!

[schmock1234]

haha 0:34-0:36

i think he stole the guitar riff from michael jackson (black or white) or maybe the guitar riff of this song just inspired him

this is no wonder because the guitar riff from "black or white" is one of the best in the world

[GuitarFreakerzz]

The tags priobally tell the truth about this guitar maniac. Skill.

[Xaederaz]

Im kinda happy that ZyuTheHunter isn't here anymore..

[MUYA123SLAYER]

guy is a total moron

[ihazaburgr]

he looks like a junkie here!

but still hes one of my fav guitarists!

[ZyuTheHunter]

sounds like a song Rush would do, really good stuff.

[arias1772]

that's why it is called hurry up... hurrying up is rushing... right?

[ZyuTheHunter]

......see folks this is why i said people need to use common sense, Rush has in the band Rush not rushing threw something, what did that go over your head?

[arias1772]

haha... i didn't mean it like that. i was pointing out the link between the name of the band Rush and the name of this song Hurry Up. they are relatively the same thing right?

[ZyuTheHunter]

umm no... for once a comment made by someone else has made me speechless, im just going to walk away and think about where socitiy went wrong. The band Rush has nothing to do with the name of the song. I was simply saying this sounds like a song they would play.

[arias1772]

SHIT!.. im trying to say it may have been inspired by rush... get me?

[arias1772]

haha... well sorry i didnt state my SUGGESTION of where this song was inspired from clear enough. i apologize for making this thing you call "socitiy" go terribly wrong

[arias1772]

HAHAHHA.. man you are hilarious... illiterate means to be uneducated, especially unable to read or write.. and look at yourself... you spell the simplest words wrong and lack sense a majority of the time. please keep on writing back. i am enjoying it

[arias1772]

hahah i knew you would write back. please practice what you preach man because you really suck ass at writing. im not even gonna attempt to correct it. i hope you aren't an adult because it is just sad.

[MUYA123SLAYER]

whats socitiy? Do you mean society? im sorry but arias1772 just owned you, u cant spell for shit

[AlexanderDavidEhler1]

hey fucking dumbass zyu. Paul said in an INTERVIEW that when Mr. Big opened for rush he was INSPIRED to write this song.

i fucking hate you zyu.

[StlCardinals77]

i changes a lot in the song it starts in like 7:8 or something like that its weird

[VaiJedi]

Do I hear "Manic Mechanic" from ZZ Top, I think I do!!?

[VaiJedi]

I bet its in 12:8 which sounds like 4/4 but not.

[dylanleonard]

wtf is the time sig to this song like 16:4 or some shit?

[CyberGuitarManJonte]

great song!!

[burnthermit]

wow

awesome!

[ShibuBaka]
