Racer X Into the Night 1988

[flangerdeluxe]

I always thought that singer, reminded me of a young Graham Bonnet and fit the band well.

[clem070605]

He sounds great on the albums, not quite so great here, but still better than most.

[Keeeeeeeeth]

jeff martin is great metal singer, you all no nothing

[motleycrue24]

wtf everywhere i see or read about racer x someone always complaining about the singer lets see you do better fuckers!

[Ozznize]

@motleycrue24 dude if you go to a restraunt and you dont like the food you are allowed to criticize even if you are not better than the chef who made it. i have nothing against this singer so dont get me wrong but its just fucking naive if you can give positive feedback but not negative. it works vice versa. if you are not allowed to give negative feedback you shouldnt also be allowed to give positive feedback

[motleycrue24]

@Ozznize when the hell did i say i was directly talking to you if you dont like singer good for you

[Ozznize]

@motleycrue24 lol dude all you can say is good for you. why do you think that the reply button exits? i never said that i didnt like this singer so learn how to fucking read and stop putting lies in to my mouth.

[motleycrue24]

@Ozznize ok you dont like the singer, yet you write a whole paragraph why you can dislike him haha

[Ozznize]

@motleycrue24 i wrote "i have nothing against this singer so dont get me wrong". now what is so damn hard in that sentence for you to understand? it means that i like the singer. even if I like something it doesnt mean that YOU have to like it and THAT was my point. people are allowed dislike things

[motleycrue24]

@Ozznize where did i ever say in any of my comments that "people are not allowed to dislike things" now what is so damn hard to understand i never wrote that..

[Ozznize]

@motleycrue24 oh no no no dont even change subject. you claimed that i said that i didnt like the singer, which i never did say. it was you who said that people who dont like him should first sing better than him in order to get the opinion valid inside your head.

[motleycrue24]

@motleycrue24 ok dude i said you didnt like the singer ok boo hoo so what haha

[mattyo5150]

Seeing all those speakers makes me now realise why Paul has to wear headphones these days.

[erikakeita]

fucking great !!!

[louieptuey]

WTF happened to YouTube?

[louieptuey]

WTF happened to YouTube?

[largesam72]

dude check out the bassist at the end! Awesome!

[adrenalinekeepsake]

@largesam72 the bass player is Juan Alderete from the Mars Volta.

[largesam72]

@adrenalinekeepsake he kicks ass!

[Mo90320]

cool solo!

[Culito213]

Did he say "werve"?

[megafucker2]

too bad you think that.. its because of naiive opinions like that, that shit like doom was created...

a singer is either good or bad.. everything that is good, gets a praise, and everything that is not, gets bood at.. and the shit that is between good and bad is usualy found in a run down country club.

if you cant get the cruel world of music threw your skull, then.. sorry.

sounds kinda harsh, but its an easy way of explaining.

the band only got renowned because of Paul and the others

bad vocals

[buddyboombotz2]

I try too skip all vocal sections of Racer X songs

[motleycrue24]

@buddyboombotz2 good for you

[acdcislaw]

thats bull shit dude. just because he doesn't have great vocals doesn't make him bad. as i said his vocals were good and not great, just because he isn't bruce dickinson doesn't mean he isn't good in what he does for the band

[acdcislaw]

the singer is not that great compared to other metal singers, however he is no where near being terrible, he is a good singer and fits the band well

[edsox2244]

its not bout the vocals its bout the passion soul and pissing off the gov't

[johnaiton]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUU

*headbangs*

[mvbeckril]

Unfortunately this singer is terrible, .

Great that the others moved on..

Don't get me wrong YT haters... :) This guy was pretty bad for 80's singers and the rest of the guys were cream of the crop....

[Alkali64]

Are you fucking kidding me...

Your face is unfortunately terrible...

[manmon77]

I read that while Paul Gilbert was looking for a singer for Racer X, one of the guys they were going to try to get was Mark Slaughter (of Slaughter). How epic would it have been if they got him?

[LeftHandedJay]

2:44 = heavy

[fangus503]

paul gilbert kicks ass on and offstage all the time.

[Alkali64]

That solo just makes me wanna break something near me.

[blackguitar86]

I remember listening to this song over and over during Christmas time 1986. What a great way to Deck the Halls. I learned to play the song-the wrong way. I think I will go back and relearn it.

[aabbaabcd]

Bruce Ardanuy!

[blackguitar86]

Who is Bruce Ardanay?? You are referring to Bruce Bouillet??

[aabbaabcd]

do you know the brazilian guitar player Eduardo Ardanuy?

[blackguitar86]

I thought you wrote Bruce Ardunay? I am not familiar with Eduardo (Bruce) Ardunay? I am interested in influencial guitar players. What kind of music does he play? How good is he? What do you recommend from him?

[sixstringwizard06]

ok. a few reasons why this video owns all others.

its shred

its the 80s

at 2:21 the headbanging

and at 2:41 the stick throw and catch.

simply amazing

[econgblues626]

metal at its finest.

[barneyfurlong]

The best line-up of Racer X ever.Shred!

[xXTheRatXx]

3:00 That just makes me smile!

[zatorski]

fuckin nice

[ProspectorSam]

Crappy mic?

[Mr5150]

Its 1988.

[Garnee]

Owned.

[mrpolishhotdog]

haha

[ShipsAreBurned]

What model Ibanez guitars are Paul and Bruce using?

[Veo5000]

Epiphone Coronet copies by Ibanez made exclusively for them.

[BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12]

actualy they weren't made exclusively Ibanez used to make knock off models and they got sued for it

[Veo5000]

Oh, I see, are you saying Ibanez mass-produced these guitars?

[BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12]

yep go on ibanez's Canadian website and there's a link @ the top to look @ their old catalouges and you'll find all the knock off models they're actualy quite nice

[AndySan]

Oh, they're real. And they're spectacular!

[kimsterjimi]

hey where do you get this concert footage?

[pgmpower]

Yes they're real, but only 2 are connected, the other 7 of each players cabs are fake and have no speakers fitted. They were custom made to Paul and Bruce's specs.

[pgmpower]

*other 6* sorry

[Revival1]

they're very real. they also are a part of the problem wich caused paul gilbert's hearing loss.

[speedrhai]

i love all this member specially to PG

[JoeLynnTurnerRocks]

who is the lead singer?

[pareku]

jeff martin

[ShipsAreBurned]

Damn, the vocal part at 3:00 was weak, but I cant do it either. Still, it sounded so much more insane on the record.

[Imsuperapplepie]

is this serious? dumb nugget

[Imsuperapplepie]

sorry this song is awsome i was replying to someone, i messed up, paul gilbert is great., love this song!

[rooobert]

[PaweL1345]

such a nice band!

[placevendome70]

Fantastic video!

[bicmed88]

this song is amazing, for some reason i find it realy hard to play the little jangly hook (B6 arp and something else) mayby its beacuse im crap. RACERX are amazing!

[U91H3D]

im playing guitar 3 years now i do pick it up fast but i cant do any paul gilbert stuff its just too much

[VHTcrushes]

hey man, I've been playing for about 20 years, and his stuff is hard for me. He's amazing and incredibly talented.

[wpeka]

tell me about it, im a 3 yr gitarist, and im gunning it for the motor man intro. Its harder than anything, getting it up to speed. know what i mean?

[PaulGilbertIsGod2]

well ive played 2 years and i can play this song and a couple others like solo in gone to far. bruces solo./.. lol. not the one with pauls huge sweep. its insane.

[VHTcrushes]

Lets see it!!

[PaulGilbertIsGod2]

ill have videos up soon im about to get my own place and ill have a web cam.

[karlaliz27]

Paul Gilbert es un músico maestro y virtuoso de la GUITARRA..!!!;así de sencillo.!

[brm164]

Paul Gilbert Its The King

[dceballos067]

Like some of the posts, I too wish it were the 80's again. I was fortunate to have been old enough to be a part of the scene then. I like the flash & glam, with great rock to go with it. Not like some of these bands nowadays. I never took to the idea of paying to go see a band, that looked and dressed like me (plain jeans and flannel shirts). And on top of all that, todays guitarists don't like to play solos in the songs anymore. What a rip off.

[fukbastr]

right on bro shredin means just that .imagine nicklebacks guitarist, back then he wouldnt get gig.

[johnaiton]

I wish I could've been there

the 80's rocked.

the closest thing to the 80's is moving to Japan; which is why I plan to ;)

[justinllalor]

2008 needs to be more like 1988. I wish I wasn't 2 years old back then!

[Tb0neZ5]

I feel your pain man i was born in 92. I grew up with the shittiest music ever, so i had to dicover all of the old bands.

[dirthpool]

I graduated from high school that year.

It's nice to see someone your age appreciate good music.

[Tb0neZ5]

well man i cant handle this new rap crap. actually pretty much all new popular music.

[waylay00]

Yeah, born in 1991 here. I think good guitar playing will make a comeback.

[Tb0neZ5]

dont worry man. i am a guitar player, i practice like 3 hours a day(sometimes more). i will make sure it comes back =)

[Exploder1992]

Good theres more people out there who want to defend the metal! For a minute there, I thought I was the only one!

[dooomedking]

i´m 1987 and hell yeah your right

best music is from that time

old madonna

kylie minogue

and of course the king of guitar

van halen

sorry i wanted to say paul gilbert

dooomed king

[stonerboy666]

ya how old are you and when a start playing

[Tb0neZ5]

im 15 now and ive been playing since i was 12. I tend ti pick up fast though.

[IbanezRokr]

i've been playing since i was 7 and i'm 18 now.

[gloriouskai]

So raw and melodic!

[ccoop29]

Bruce & Paul are both awesome guitar players,,,their chemistry is amazing,,,we need a reunion of Racer X with a US tour!

[JetSpiegel88]

Bruce played with Paul during the 2007 G3 tours. It was amazing.

Also, to those of you that say that you grew up with the shittiest music, being born in 92, you obviously weren't looking in the right spots for music, man.

[cr3w1n]

bruce should join racer x again with paul gilbert i bet they can do it again with the old members back in the group, prolly be able to make some more sweet songs

[NukeClock]

loooong fingers ^^

[FiNaLMaSqUe234]

Pauls good enough to be lead singer of the band too

[elan79]

racerX y Paul son elite!!!

[ourtheharry]

Awesome song

[PutOutTheLights]

Fuck Satriani and fuck Vai. Here's a real guitar player.

[Beetlejuice1988]

Amen.

[danielrrjd]

I saw Paul in his concert in Bogota, and he is the most amazing guitarist I´ve ever seen....and he wears the guitar so low...I don´t get it

[JamieBourke]

lol i know, how can you wear it that low but play it that well?!

[Revival1]

Yeah that's ture sanjak , but luckaly , bruce is joining pauls current tour ! They both are amazing

[sanjak]

Nobody gives credit to Bruce :(

[n3tfury]

lol "werve" wtf. great vid/song though.

[PaulC39]

Truely awesome. Paul Gilbert and Racer X rocks! I like all that I've heard from them starting with Street Lethal. This brings back memories when I was 21 years old.Tremedous musicianship!

[jacktheshredder]

at the h.o.b paul jammed out on a satch song called robot dream it was awesome to say the least. and that was my 1 time seeing pg or any shredder.if any of you shredd vet fans have any cool 80's storys please share

[jacktheshredder]

saw pg the other day,at the benefit 4 cliff.didn't shred like here.but it was still GREAT just to see him.didn't think that would ever happen b4 i died.vai and joe also kicked ass that nite

[LARPgod]

Seeing the gilbert in japan was probably the best time i have had in my life.

[JOTUN83]

Anyone know where to get guitar tabs for this song?

[EnemyAce]

Isn't it that other guy who does that first solo, before Paul starts his squels.

[ChangGang]

Fuckin' Awesome!

[hand2handtx]

Oh man does this bring back some memories. Ah to be 19 again.

[Ibanezrg5ex1]

hail paul gilbert

[Klastek]

THat's some real hardrock... awesome solo.

[carlhl]

wow gilberts soloing is nearly free from his standart-licks!

all in all great.

[professorbeak]

LOL "nearly free from his standard licks"

[aarroneous]

That's because it's Bruce playing the solo.

[cfj2k1]

[EnemyAce]

Cool video, cool song

[ericrauti]

[madmk]
