This video provides a dream for the future. Paul with PAF Pros and Laneys again, alongside Mr Bruce Bouillet. The demand for a Racer X revival is surely growing all the time! Five middle-aged men playing 'Loud and Clear' might seem daft, but I seriously can't think of many things I'd rather see. (I know artists hate reliving their past, but, c'mon).
@DillonBerkley /watch?v=UBEVpR1UsvId Paul can sweep as good as anybody, he just doesn't like it. He thinks that sweeps sound silly and that they got really over used in the 80s. But watch that and tell me he can't. He also has a couple sweeps in The Gargoyle.
I care about speed that sounds good but it's kinda sad that people dont care about shredding anymore. I cry inside everytime i think about it. But yes Paul is the man.
@josiahgust obviously Paul Gilbert can sweep pick because hes Paul Gilbert....and what i was meaning by saying that is that his sweep picking is not so good compared to his alternate picking and string skipping. But im not going to get into one of these i know everything about paul gilbert contests cause i dont but i mean i heard him say he doesnt like sweep picking and he doesnt think hes very good at it so my opinion or statement was based off of what he said.
I just loove watching Paul play, and especially in this video with Bruce, because he just looks like he is having a blast, and that's what inspires me the most.
ok what about bruces solo? Paul himself admited he cant sweep pick for crap. It's literally impossible to compare which one is faster or better. Just from watching bruce's guitar lessons i'd say he's faster not paul, but i think paul's picking on the contarary is untouchable.
yo guys,not for nothing but bruce bouillet is the most underrated guitarists out there.can play with anyone out there,and outshine them.what do u guys think?
Oh, I forgot - Herman Li was an afterthought. I owned a 1960 Les Paul, a 1959 Strat, and some other classic guitars, and tried Schecters and ESP, and my Japanese Ibanez 550 is still the best guitar I have ever played. I'm in pretty good company with Paul Gilbert, the lord god buffo of the guitar.
@BelieveIntheBucket You gave your case away when you named yourself after that Paul Gilbert wannabe, but never will be, Buckethead, the noodler. I always wondered if that was original or extra crispy.
