guitar hero phenoms sound almost identical except for the guitar tones other then that this song is so awesome no matter who plays guitar hero phenom or racer
I usually hate bassist's that use picks, but this guy is shredding' that Rickenbacker with awesome crunch. It's like Chris Squire with technical metal.
I actually enjoy the little shredding things at the beginning. Gives you the key the song is in. Makes it so much easier to work out. True musician Gilbert (obviously) {not to mention holy shtuff on the bass and drums!}
Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Buckethead - Three of the greatest guitarists EVER. Speed, technique and creativity. P.S. 51 people hit the dislike button by mistake, thats the only reason I can figure.
@xXxGODSMACKxXx what the hell are you talking about? the band he was with in the 80's was called Racer X. and if i remember right (and this song was written when he was in it). Racer X is the reason he got famous back in the days. Then he started playing more in a neo-classical way and that boosted him up because he was then popularized by RR (Randy Roads) and Malmsteen in the magazines.. so yea, if you think his stage name is Racer X, then you are totally wrong.
Thank you #1 Paul Gilbert kiss ass fan. All im saying is he is underrated and should get more credit because not many people have heard of him who dont play guitar. Im talking about THE BAND NAME racer X, its called a joke. Obviously some people can't understand that.
@Lordoftheflies234 Marco Minneman. Fantastic drummer with an awesome range of styles. He has played with Technical death metal bands like Necrophagist as well as with jazz and rock bands.
i like when he says "take it away marco" and marco decides to not blow us away, which was kind of him, considering the fact that if too many excellent musicians give us their all.... we probably die
@tyjed marco can do better than that. dream theater finally picked their new drummer.. he's not it, BUT i watched an hour long documentary split up into 3 parts, and they said it was between him and mike mangini.. who is fast as hell.. he was on time warp.. fast.. the documentary is called "the spirit carries on" it'll b like the first thing u'd c if u type that phrase
I usually don't like shredders, but since P Gilbert is funny and doesn't seem to act like an asshole, I must admit I pretty much like him ! Plus, he had done many great covers of great bands (Black Sabbath, BOC, Led Zeppelin...) which his good !
How come guitar gods like Paul are placed underground and homos like Justin (faggot) Bieber are exhaulted!!!! The world is a Dam retard festival and I want out- Im guessing that's why Paul wants to endorse NASA
@Richo1234able Because Bieber is pop music while Paul isn't. Pop music is what the majority of people what. It's a shame I know. Credit goes out to the people that have enough balls to listen to something different.
This guy....is EVIL.....
