Paul Gilbert - Viking Kong

[Iron7Ice]

5:10 8-bit speed

[Lobatorock1]

I must say, this is the best fucking video i've ever seen in my fucking life.

[RunHappyRunPickl]

@2:36 Hanger 18 anybody?

[losipoop]

no resolve?

[DFTBAman]

This is the man who trained Buckethead in the sonic arts....FUCKING. GENIUS.

[shredmaster100]

yngwie is a good player but needs to relax his ego a bit he doesnt need to prove anything and anyway paul and marty friedman get along better and marty is a superior guitarist compared to yngwie 

[ExtremeBogom]

@shredmaster100

Define "superior"?

[shredmaster100]

martys better , more advanced technically than yngwie and paul gilbert why you ask because hes the only man who taught the best shredder how to shred im talking about jason becker the greatest shredder ever

[BRADARISTA]

lol watch in half speed: :D

[AetroyayorteA]

boring

[woodenbeard]

I came to this song..twice...in the first 60 seconds

[time2shineve]

Pause and rewind to the part where he missed a note. Oh wait... He didn't miss a note.

[illevarslendetyrann]

Paul should make a duet with Steve Vai, and call it "Vai-king Kong" haha!!

[illevarslendetyrann]

Ha! And as I comment that Paul shuts me up and plays an exaggerated improv lmfao!!

[illevarslendetyrann]

Yngwie is awesome, but what an idiot. Bah! Either way he would just ruin this with his exaggerated improvs lmfao!!

[GreenDistantStar]

26 people's brains melted, they slumped, heads hitting the 'dislike' button...

[wizorz]

@GreenDistantStar happened to me but mine ended on the 'like' button

[ThatTallWhiteGuy]

3:55 what a dull audience

[marcuchin96]

The 26 dislikes are from Yngwie

[dontavoidthenoid]

paul gilbert gives a whole new meaning to the term "godspeed"

[Gazer794]

Ynqwie couldn't do it because his pinky wasn't long enough :P

[shredftw]

I bet Yngwie regrets his decision.

[redshaftedflicker]

The tidiest/cleanest playing player ever, dare I say spotless?

[NinjaRodent]

Aw why didn't he want to play with Paul?

[sudipyep]

this is kickass!!!!!!...guitar porn!!!

[grahamzhiser]

god damnit i cant even watch paul gilbert without seeing a stupid skyrim joke...

[danosdrake]

malmsteens a dick. i dont think he realizes that if he wouldve done this song with paul it would be the most ultimate song. they are the best guitarists on the planet in my opinion

[SomeThatCallMeTimbo]

Paul Gilbert could slap Chuck Norris with his pinky and kill him O: 

[nickelfer]

skyrim is for homosexuals and gay elephants...

[youisretard]

This puts Yngwie Malmsteen to shame.

[TFIFH]

The intro sounds a lot like Entre Nous by Rush. I know that PG is a Rush fan, so I find it kinda cool.

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Video is freezing cause of PG awesomeness.

[sin1987runescape]

orgasmic

[SamuraiMasenko]

6:33 Lol *poke*

[dabadguy4273]

what does the arrow to the knee joke mean? i see it everywhere but have no clue what people are talking about

[Mappersmusic]

@dabadguy4273 It's from Elder Srolls 5: Skyrim (nearly every guard that you speak to in the game will say "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow in the knee").

[enolization]

Its because malmsteen cant play with ibanez lolz

[Pittsisamazing]

I think I just came my brain...

[MegaCrispy101]

"And on the 6th day, the lord spoke..............let paul gilbert produce puberty in kids with the slight hearing of his music!!!!"

[ohfuckbitch123]

paul gilbert has a brain in each of his fingers

[SlipknotPwnz]

Sounds like he just has sex with all of our mothers at the same time... It's not fair that he can do that, but I mean... At least it's Paul Gilbert banging all our mom's... Kinda makes him the Father of the Human Existance in a way.

[westonbyrne]

sounds more like Gilbert meets Becker, than Gilbert meets Malmsteen

[rampage222555]

@westonbyrne i see the resemblance to malmsteen's style in this song, but I see nothing of Becker's style. honestly dont see how you came with that comparison...

[westonbyrne]

@rampage222555 to be honest, it did sound more like malmsteen from about 30% on. but in some beginning parts, it sounded like becker, or to be more precise, becker and friedman (sounded like cacophony for a few licks)

[cunaso]

@westonbyrne la melodia y bend son la mejor estilo cacophony totalmente de acuerdo, las estiradas de cuerdas escalas orientales marty friedman

[WeGottaGetCrunk]

I just came.

[QuentinGrand]

Buckethead is way better than Paul Gilbert !

[brando18guitarplyr]

@QuentinGrand Don't try to troll, it's not working.

[Romanmattie]

@QuentinGrand Shush man.. I'm a Bucketbot, but Paul Gilbert literally taught Buckethead..

[QuentinGrand]

@Romanmattie I Know that Paul Gilbert taught Buckethead, but I think Buckethead brings much more emotions in his music.

[orakulmics]

@QuentinGrand Same guy isnt it.

[shredderman88]

.... YAY... :o

My day was made

[D1vid3By0]

Paul Gilbert is so good he can imitate himself.

[Madgreenguy]

@baseballox123 lol

[junkerde]

@baseballox123 more like he took some burgers to the stomach

[sk8erboirobrob]

@baseballox123 arrow in the knee jokes grew old on november 12th

[HxYxPxExRxIxOxN]

@baseballox123 You mean "Yngwie used to be a guitar player like Paul but then he took an arrow in the knee"

[panny14]

@HxYxPxExRxIxOxN Think you mean a hamburger to the belly?

[panny14]

@panny14 dammit someone already wrote that, sorry, didn't see :(

[gojirametallica]

@baseballox123 to his chins

[azureus4]

I am BLOW away !!!!!!!

[MariosGuy]

imagine how strong those long fingers are. man his wife must really REALLY love him

[ZeroMechful]

Song starts at 00:45

[guitar5289]

freakin awesome

[deathscythekim729]

I admire Satch, E. Johnson, John Petrucci, but man! this guy is king in shredding..He makes it so easy..

[molomix23]

yngiew has too much of an ego to play with someone who can keep up with him

[sdevon90]

@molomix23 EXACTLEY

[EvictedFromEden]

I would really love to see Yngwie and Paul play this together. Both are my Idols.

[CheckDisRiff]

Only Paul Gilbert can play a duet by himself.

[h2kchicagoted]

that pinky..........holy shit he's a rock god.

[chandley1976]

@Mean. Paul was being sarcastic. Of course Yngwie could play it, even if he doesnt have a sense of humour, has zero charisma, and isnt half the entertainer that Paul is, despite his amazing guitar skills.

[MeanStreet93]

I just herd all of the album Rising Force and how the heck could Yngwie not play this song!! He's weird

[okalov]

The mark of a true guitarist...not only can he play his own style flawlessly, he can play the styles of others flawlessly as well (and write them, might I add! anyone can do a cover...). Truly inspirational.

[osereterno666]

Paul can make yngwie style songs better than malmsteen himself

[JMaSsA11]

i paused my porn for this

[PovZ123]

@JMaSsA11 Then I unpaused your porn cause it had your mom in it. XD

[JMaSsA11]

@PovZ123 just my step-mom. My biological mom died in a car accident when I was 5 :D

[robjknox]

@JMaSsA11 this IS porn

[jarkanciofan]

@JMaSsA11 this is porn.

[omgverdammt]

@JMaSsA11 I masturbate to this

[TheSonsofHorusx]

@JMaSsA11 a pro never pauses the porn

[kingrichards3000]

Paul Gilbert yngwie vai and CC DEVILLE

[mkehandgrenades]

anyone notice that his pinky is as long as his middle finger?

[mkehandgrenades]

damn this shit is sick!

[submission123456]

This is the best shit I've ever seen

[TheTortugaTanker]

This track is epic win

[h2kchicagoted]

that pinky.............holy shit.

[stroggcat]

i just have an authentic ORGASM!!

[gunnysnipes]

i wouldve started an "yngwie sucks" chant if i was there :)

[nickelfer]

Why does everyone hate on Yngwie I mean personally I prefer Paul Gilbert but thats just my opinion, Yngwie is such a great guitarist as well as Gilbert so don't hate appreciate. . .

[Crystal666Death]

@nickelfer

everybody hates that fool (well at least i dont respect him) cause hes a cocky lil dooshbag asshole, yeah hes good but thats it. no one likes a cocksucker

[nickelfer]

@Crystal666Death Sir you are extremely homosexual. . .

[DrShred47]

Yngwie's a bitch, Paul is so much better

[wtu61]

3:15 to 3:26, sounds a bit like Dave Murrays solo in fear of the dark by Iron Maiden

[RonnieJamesDio666]

Why would you even use the term fanboy. It sounds like a video game insult

[GuitarMInd0596]

Wooo !!!! grande Paul mi idolo

[igor26]

master \m/

[mykebulvai]

is it just me or does anybody else find that sweeping arpeggio that all neo classical players do to be utterly puke worthy? it's so over done. It started with Yngwie and should have ended there. It sucks. Fanboys I await your fanboyish insults.

[cozkul]

@mykebulvai dude, he is trying to imitate yngwie here, so of course he will use sweeping, other than that he almost never uses sweeping, unlike "all neo classical players". also sweeping is not "puke worthy" at all, listen to sweeps at the beginning, than talk: watch?v=7nY-XDF_Ask . sorry, but you suck.

[mykebulvai]

@cozkul . you are hereby know forevermore as the ultimate fanboy. Congratulations.

[cozkul]

@mykebulvai I just stated a FACT that you obviously dont know: paul never uses sweeping, he uses string skipping. and gave you jeff loomis as an example, who is a master of sweeps and not puke worthy at all. you cant just say arpeggios are over done man, it has been used even before classical music, and they sound beautiful. oh, also I stated another fact that you obviously dont know at all: you suck because you dont know any of these FACTs. how is this fanboyish?

[doom666kratos]

@cozkul You're absolutely right man!

[cozkul]

@doom666kratos thank you, somebody should pawn all these trolls ;D

[thephan1113]

@mykebulvai are you trying to start a fight on the youtube comment section? get a real life man

[pisti5454]

But I do not know what to exercise when you do everything.

The other is the talent of the century is a superstar.

[jgeth999]

facepalm.

[Alexxxeeeiii]

Original solo is better, closer to Malmsteen's style. This solo - i don't like it, it's not even his style, just doodling. But i think he is the best guitar player, however.

[XcocidiusX]

Yeah i like that. It does sound like Malmsteen. but alot more carefull, not so furiouse. malsteen is a stage hogger lol.

[linkhackerneo]

i cant use my pinky, hahaha

[MrMjl777]

@ThickLegsRule I hear ya about Yngwie...it loses it's flavor after only a few songs. The only time I heard him play any differently in past 25 years was on the G3 tour trio. You could hardly tell it was him without listening closely. He can do it if he wants to just wish he'd jump off that neo-classical train once in a while. He plays great pentatonics.

[MrMjl777]

Not only is he amazing being "Paul" in his playing you could totally hear where Yngwie would be playing and could even mark where they start and stop. AMAZING.

[Chaanee]

You know, there are so many other hobbies than playing the guitar, I'm thinking of taking up fishing again.

[jarkanciofan]

Chuck norris heard paul play the guitar and now chuck play the triangle.

[SuperToother]

its completely beyond me how this is achievable by humans

[erikneoland]

4:02 napoleon dynamite: "yeah!" 

[Guitarplanet100]

Inspired by yngwie or not, it is one of the coolest songs paul has ever done! Amazing!

[bacon700]

i think paul does a better malmsteen then malmsteen himself

[blackbuterflies]

MAESTRO!!!!!!!!

[halfevil333able]

yeah I wrote a song for yngwie too but, it was too hard for him

[Guppy915]

Of all the guitar great shredders Paul Gilbert has the coolest songs, like if you want to just pop in the CD and be amazed for awhile.

[antimatter07]

now lets see yngwie play gilbert

[ValveXbL]

@antimatter07 actually, a lot of the riffs from this I've heard in yngwie's songs, the main riff at 1:14 sounds like YJM's Eclipse

[guitarplayer183]

Amazing song but I think it sounds more like Jason Becker

[TheBucketedOne]

How to play like Malmsteen: Wear ruffled shirts. Play overused neo-classical arpeggio runs.

How to play like Paul Gilbert: No.

[necroyoli08]

@TheBucketedOne Yeah your'e right, How to make an imitation of Paul Gilbert ?. You just don't do it

[Chaanee]

Go Gilbert where Malmsteen have never been, never dared going, or even thought about daring to go!

[GasserVsGoodyball]

Yngwie didnt accept Gilberts offer for a duet because hes scarified of Paul GIlbert

[doom666kratos]

The best ever.

[necroyoli08]

What is wrong with you Yngwie, ITS PAUL GILBERT !!!!, you don´t say no to Paul Gilbert, you say "Of course Mr. Big at what time do you want me in the studio ?"

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

He can play arpeggios on one string, and make them sound sweep picked, WHAT THE FUCK that's not even fair screw yngwie and his 23 chins, this is definatley the coolest thing I have ever seen

[ThrashGuitarMan]

In my opinion, this sounds so much better than the studio version.

[BJ219]

If he wanted to sound like Malmsteen he should have played it with about 1/3 the feeling.

[NvdVen]

Paul... you're the man!

[aydogdu21]

I came.

[moonjelly84]

why is this song so slow? oh yaa bc he's playing like yngwie XD

[rockerboy991]

The dislikes are Yngwie's chins.

[katk925]

@rockerboy991 best ever.

[XcocidiusX]

@rockerboy991 lol haha rofl

[GrahamQueen]

@rockerboy991 L O FUCKING L

[lightcasters31]

His pinky is so active!

[wtfguitar1135]

malmsteen now has 23 different accounts

[louhazosc]

It's amazing that even when Paul writes an Yngwie based song it still screams out Paul's personality.

[juanarkantos]

the guy has some really nice pants

[Kirschthollar]

I'm not sure but I think he has 6 fingers... they were moving too fast to see clearly

[Matlike1]

Love Paul but wonder if he's gonna ever release a dvd soon called 'the unbathed years'.

[AraGuitar]

Didn't want to? Didn't have time? .... nah it's cause he's a conceited ass hat :) but a wonderful guitar player.

[scwalts]

2:27-2:20 is delicious Middle eastern Cuisine....what is that spice...did u add some budda splean

[MachoManZombieSavage]

At about 4:00 I was expecting everything to explode.

[Batikansadikozturk]

paul gilbert is pawnd guitar

[xXGuitareHeroXx]

i just cut all my fingers off... i found out that they don't worked perfectly. (this was typed by nose)

[emotionaljuggalo]

my mind just went all to shit

[Overwatch93]

wow. all i can think is wow

[MiguBlack]

the KING does viKING

[AlexRocksYourSox]

I got calluses in my fingers from watching 3:43-5:56

[0zzyfan44]

Paul is a fucking moron did he really Think that Maestro Yngwie would play whit a fucking guitar noob!!!

[TheMarkedham]

@0zzyfan44  How can you say that after this video?

[mycahman]

0:46

[happytour1st]

Great playing but that tone is horrible for this kind of piece :/

[legendofzelda101]

Malmsteen = Neo-classical, pretty dull at everything else.

Gilbert = Rocks every style.

[stuartjonez]

That duo would have been awesome!!! But I prefer this song :)

[xXwarstuserXx]

The description says it all

[kcizzle1987]

Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert's favorite guitarist.

[BananaStyleable]

22 ppl are pushing carrots in to their own ass

[Dying2Know]

Paul Gilbert's pinky once gave a girl an orgasm from a hundred feet back

[TarquinsBrutus]

Can anyone explain to me how he does to make all his live performances even more ass-kicking than the studio ones?

[thatzizname5150]

@TarquinsBrutus Because he actually has talent.

[Madgreenguy]

@thatzizname5150 Well more like, he practices an unhumanily like, 4 or more hours a day. Hell probably even much more than 4

[th3gravy]

his pinky could rule the world........

[GasserVsGoodyball]

@th3gravy .....with an iron fist!!!

[GasserVsGoodyball]

@th3gravy .....with an iron fist!!!

[hippie1022]

@GasserVsGoodyball Iron pinky lol
