[diabeticmonkey]

Obnoxious delay is obnoxious.

[nickbaldeagle01]

Holy Mother Of God.....

[MaxvergaxS]

STUPID DELAY

[Santaslave666]

Racer X is criminally underrated..

[Guitfiddlejase]

thank you so much for posting this!

How great is this?????!!!!!!!

[ShredderBenjamin]

Love the f-hole shaped rear electronics cover...

[HK271184]

I wanna punch the intro guy right in the face

[SEVENTHSON89]

lol at delay.... wtf?

[therag]

that was the cornyest intro i've ever heard -____-

[brono25]

Was an awesome night, But im soooo fucking angry at the sound guy.

[NowaqP]

For the fans of numbers:

On the video from 1987 they play it @ 145 BPM,

On the clinics Paul has his backing track set to 139/140 BPM

With Jeff they play it anywhere between 138-140BPM

Racer X NAMM 2009 - 149BMP!

[Ningirsutyr]

Even though I saw Gilbert playing this number live in front of my own eyes, while watching this video I got the impression that he has 5 fingers for a moment there :)

[fhorsaken]

Uh, 1:35 nice mistake from the drummer

[grumo81]

@fhorsaken I'm sure you're a much better player...

[fhorsaken]

@grumo81 What´s wrong with people this days? Can't i point out that he made a mistake? I need to be better than him? lol

[bennolanman]

delay has killed it :(

[asdfero]

i just cant understand how Paul can walk and play that shit

[lungduck]

I am addicted to Racer X.

[bigbrokin]

10! CRANK IT TO 10 NOW! 11 IF YOU CAN FIND IT!!!!

[joaoalex]

If the delay's volume in the mix was a bit lower, the delay would be a nice touch, but using it like this, was a retarded thing to do

[oca724]

i hate how people holding cameras are blocking beautiful bass shred at 1:15 ..This is Juan Alderete, bass shredder before he joined the Volta! He still got it though.

[fretlessfrizz]

It's a pity that I can't hear John Alderete.

[JaffahProductions]

Awsome!!!!It's sweet that you're reuinted.

[blakfloyd]

Gotta love all the jerkoffs that have such a problem with taking pics that are partially obstructed by people in front of them that they in turn feel compelled to hold their camera up as high as possible and COMPLETELY block the view of those behind them.

[lecheparavaka]

this is the best song ever!

[tsunami2011]

i like how the noobs thought the song was over at 2:27

[Billerd21]

I think they were just cheering because of how epic the solo was!

[gh0stmasta]

PLAYING WITH HIS TEETH!!!!!! crazy performance!! i love racer x

[immortalx50]

is it Mars Volta's Juan Alderete on bass?

[utuben55]

Juan

[tsunami2011]

@immortalx50 this is his old band

[immortalx50]

his "old band" is Mars Volta or Racer?

[lexpaul279]

@immortalx50 Racer X

[tsunami2011]

racer x... love them soooo much

[copynin08]

@immortalx50 no its racer x's juan alderete

[JonesDeLoggia]

@immortalx50 Yeah he is!!!

[chuckrocks69]

@immortalx50 yeh those guys went on to do great things

[jarkanciofan]

@immortalx50 is it Racer X's Juan alderete on bass ;)

[viper1991]

god, at the arpeggios paul looks like a happy little kid, lol

[gamma105]

amazing!

[tbrhunter]

he is playing through randy rhoads heads and cabs...and that is alot of delay

[bubbakill1]

To much delay Paul. There I said it! But seriously it was still insane. But it's not like you to use so much delay.

[SuspendedinShadows12]

HOLY SHIT that's a lot of delay, and i don't blame the guy at the beginning for being scared of paul

[LazerRazor7]

GOODNIGHT!

[aabbaabcd]

TOO MUCH DELAY, PAUL!!!

[Steve128967]

Not delay. It's the signal leaking through different monitors.

[bigbrokin]

GOODNIGHT!!!! Thank you Racer X!!!!!!!! Try to follow that up! LOL

[cheesedude9998]

This just proves that Paul is a god, even with the Sound Guy being a retard he still rocked out, with style.

[BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12]

"Put these 2 fuckers together like peanut butter and jelly and you get SCARIFIED!"LOL

[bigbrokin]

Back in Guitar magazine in 1987 they ran the tabs for this song- the riff at 2:30ish in the mag literally says "as fast as you can"....

[TruthFister8600]

damn, Juan Alderete is an underrated bass player. SICK!!!!

[tatersalad4real]

holy shit teeth playing

[BurningOrgan]

He plays with his ass too! Mans a genius!

[tatersalad4real]

the ass playing is actually a loop pedal dude, teeth is for real

[ishredpotatoes]

where's bruce guys?

[MVPguitar]

very good song but the guitar has too much echo in this version

[RacerXband]

The echo is courtesy of the MORON running the sound board. He put echo on the mic on Paul's amp. Retard!

[ConveyTheKing]

I love scarified, but I miss the fact that there's not another harmonized guitar.

[jeffrey95]

what was with the delay?

[RacerXband]

The sound guy was a retard, and put delay on Paul's mic through the PA.

[FunkerPunkerJunker]

@RacerXband yeah, doing it all the time was really fucked up, but in the beginning i thought that they had the second guitar played back or something..

[ralphM1114]

@RacerXband if it wasn't supposed to be like that, then why wasn't it turned off?

[DJParkesie959II]

@jeffrey95 : I think it makes up for the loss of the second guitar in this song, it doesn't sound too bad. Maybe it just needs lowering a little bit to make the solos a little more audible.

[math1st]

@DJParkesie959II ur crazy

[kcajk]

original Racer X bass player?

[randomclam898889]

none other than John(Juan) Alderete.

[arizonapg]

tons of echo! but as usual the band doesn't disappoint.

[joeylodes]

holy delay batman!

[Rainyu89]

whats really scary is the fact that the bass player can keep up with this...

[basshred]

is the bassist juan?

[gurra9]

It sure is!

[hitsugaya64]

No, it's a fellow named Nauj.

[jackprice93]

dude you didn't get the joke

[basshred]

yeah hehe oops :P

i got it now dat u mntioned it

[RacerXband]

LOL..Yes..it's John Alderete.

[jereibanez]

@RacerXband Juan Alderete

[Stoli89]

I really like Paul Gilbert and the Marshall stack sounds good, but the delay made that think kinda wierd :-/

anyway awesome performance!

[RandyWayneFricke]

Those Randy Rhodes Tribute Marshall stacks Paul is playing through sound really nice.

[Carnatious]

this has got to be one of teh best scarified live i have ever seen!!

[mitsay]

LOL

Seems Michael Angelo (The guitar player) on drums

hahahahahaha

[dirtydeeds73]

lol or alice cooper.

[xephyr88]

loved it, 5 stars. glad to see more footage of this show

[foxtrotalex]

man what an amateur sound guy to put delay on pauls guitar...has he ever done this before?

[carbonsausage]

Yeah, way too much. It makes some shitty harmonies when the notes are still hanging there and mixing with the current ones.

[castleshade13]

John Alderete one of the fastest finger style bassist alive! my third bass hero! =D

[UltimateKyle281]

dose he have a delay goin on? I hear 2 guitars...

[D0g63rt]

Apparently Paul didn't like the sound guy for doing that

[knowhandedbob]

man that's some bass playing.

[philcollen99]

how i wish how i wish bruce were here

[dibaliba]

wow !

don't you guys think Paul's delay was too heavy??

He seldom do that when he play this

song....

But still awesome playing though.

[JMcDonnell91]

my goal for 19th april 2014 is to nail this song perfectly. guarantee i dont do it :L

[mbos4115]

I set that goal 5 years ago...And I am still stuck at 105 bpm....

[JMcDonnell91]

haha thats the stage im at now :) wish me lucck!

[blinnyt]

I set that goal too except mine is for 2015. Best of luck dude!

[JMcDonnell91]

you too!

[JMcDonnell91]

loada shit!

[foxtrotalex]

no it just restarts

[RacerXband]

No...Paul used NO DELAY. The sound guy took it upon himself to add delay out the board. Stupid.

[oca724]

Juan still got it!! If only Bruce played as well, that would be epic

[ibanezbuyer]

is that the new pgm401?

[SoundSmasher]

no, its the pgm500

[xaviergizmo]

is this all the original band members? Is that really juan on bass?

but where's bruce???? How can there be a reunion without bruce!! !

[nec550]

they made 3 albums without bruce since 1987

[fizensguitar]

i hate paul =/ why does he have to play so clean =/

[drawnacrol]

Because Paul is king, he plays every note perfect and his technique is flawless

[metalguitarist11]

i love it!!!!

[SeanPierceJohnson]

damn...that's way faster than paul usually plays it with his solo band.

[spkenn5]

glad to see rx back!! :)

btw paul uses delay on the arpegios?

[OwnedRL]

nah, it's the sound bleeding through the mics and out through the PA.

[RacerXband]

The sound guy put delay on Paul's mic....RETARD.

[Keeeeeeeeth]

I hate that mans arm!! 1:14

[metaldave08096]

OH yeah i agree, thats the part i was looking for too!!!!!X( FUCK that guy!!!!

[DobBylan]

Thank you Ken!!

[Wiegraf768]

I wish Bruce was here. :[

[MVPguitar]

this is the best racer x's song

[MissMisstreater]

shit delay....ruind it

[RacerXband]

The sound guy was a retard.

[orsvend]

Man... scott and john really makes this come alive. Paul is always great, but its not SCARIFIED without racer x!!!

[RacerXband]

agreed. Watch Paul play Scarified on other shows here on YouTube, and it sounds different. Nobody can play it like Scott and John.

[peterstrohm]

Amen to that - Scott and John make it look very easy, all the while being totally unbeatable. I just fucking love Racer X and I can only hope they will put out some new material in the next few years.

[DaveMoustache]

This is so BRILLIANT! Paul is God in a human body!

[Michielvdwerff]

I came

[MishuTaste]

I love those smooth arpeggios.

[TravisSimpson]

Awesome, a little to much delay, but still great as hell

[feelee15]

i think its so he can get the arpeggios to harmonize so it sounds like two guitars

[drunkenxtiger]

no, the master was set up like that. it was same for all the mics and micing up the amps. all delayed even vocal mic as well. i was there.

[feelee15]

oh wow. wtf. why?

[RacerXband]

Cause the sound guy was a RETARD. The show was video recorded, and Paul brought his digital recorder to save it and possibly release it. The sound guy f'd up that too....

[feelee15]

yes, the sound guy was really dumb on this. I hear it better now. Terrible sound. Sounds so unclean with the added echo from the board

[alphawhores23]

YEEAAAAH !!!

Racer X for life !

[Oske7]

im gonna cum

[chiefmojorising71]

fuck yeah

[victorandrada]

damn racer x is GOD.
