@eqsmooth I've got an inside scoop for ya. Both Steve and Joe think Paul can smoke them. And listen to some Mr. Big records and tell me he's not a good song writer.
Just one example: I prefer Steve Vai to Paul Gilbert. Vai seems to be a soulful musician who can do just about anything. Gilbert was and will always be a RACER X speed kills guitar player with an awful singing voice. He is also not much of a songwriter so he has a way to go. He certainly plays fast.
@eqsmooth - He can't express his opinion? I have to agree with the "no feel" comment he made about Gilbert. Jeff Berlin, the best bass player in the world, and my favorite, played with paul gilbert too. Should I like him because of that and say "he's great"?
I'm not saying he's a shitty guitar player: shredding, tapping, whammy baring guitar playing just bores me.
Gilbert leaves me cold too - just my opinion. But if some people enjoy listening to him, great!
Always guys like mafia killer who talk shit like this and fancy themselves mixed martial arts cage fighters. Too many assholes on this planet. I've seen Paul Gilbert a few times and he shreds. If Simon agrees to play with him then he is probably great. There is no one on the planet that can play drums like Simon. I saw him in 1981 with Jeff Beck and also met him at clinics. He's an affable guy too. I was blown away. Just sick skills in all areas; recording technology, drum tuning, song writing

Simon is a fantastic player.

Timmons' tone, as always, is gorgeous.
