so epic

jeeze. it makes me mad that mtv doesn't feature guys like this.

Paul Gilbert is the man! He is a very talented musician.

It's because we have to many people who think rap is music! That and I think we have to have played a guitar to truly appreciate Gilbert to the maximum! But I still think that today's society is wrecking the musical industry. Long Live Classic Rock!

One thing is for sure, I can never get tired of talking about Paul Gilbert, so my apologies to the rest of gmc

Were not worthy!!

New fans (and old) simply must get a hold of his "Space Ship One" DVD, it just rocks!

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 2 2007, 04:29 AM

And apparently he really digs all things japanese.

He only uses japanese guitars

He can speak japanese

with mr. big he had 3 albums with the title "raw like sushi"

and he's married to a japanese woman.



looks like me and mr. gilbert have similar interests, lol

Posted by: Iluha Nov 2 2007, 04:30 AM

Hopefully one day I will be able to get up on stage and play with such confidence like him.

there's been so many Paul Gilbert discussions, but this is the first one I'm replying to so I just want to say he is one of my biggest inspirations in music.

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 2 2007, 04:34 AM

Paul has the sort of personality you cant help but like! He seems pretty crazy, and good fun!

Posted by: muris Nov 2 2007, 04:39 AM

Well spotted about Gilbert and MTV.
Same thing with players like Kotzen,Freedman etc.
They all went to japanese market and did awesome job.
Looks like western world doesn't need them anymore

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Nov 2 2007, 04:49 AM

Yeah, this guy is amazing !! love his picking, sweeping and tapping !!

Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 2 2007, 04:50 AM

Scarified is an awesome song Paul Gilbert Rocks

Posted by: Animosity Nov 2 2007, 05:07 AM

Richie Kotzen!?! I love him! He has great vocals and he sure plays a mean guitar!

Posted by: muris Nov 2 2007, 05:09 AM

Yep,that's our guy

Posted by: botoxfox Nov 2 2007, 05:45 AM

As Japan has a higher concentration of shred lovers than anywhere else in the world, you can't really blame them... What I really like about PG is his tone, I find it awesome...
On a sidenote, I'd say this topic is in the wrong forum...

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Nov 2 2007, 05:48 AM

Yessir, constable Botox sir! Moving it to the Guitarist Analysis forum right now!

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 2 2007, 05:52 AM

I was gonna post it there, but I'm so use to starting threads in the off-topic section. Like many civil war re-enactors, I fear change.

Marty Friedman + Paul Gilbert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoWIcKRSupA

Yes, they both speak japaneese, i wish i knew what they were saying.

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 2 2007, 07:08 AM

can we have special robes with our names on it and special beer steins and special paul gilbert style headphones?

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 2 2007, 07:09 AM

Golden headphones!! That actually reminds me, does anyone know why he always wears headphones when he plays?

Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 2 2007, 07:11 AM

Maybe there oversized in-ear monitors, or there just for looks, i mean, this is the man who played with guitar picks attached to a drill, who knows what he'll do.

Do gods need protecting?

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 2 2007, 07:14 AM

Maybe he uses them on his Spaceship one? ( DVD plug! )

Posted by: botoxfox Nov 2 2007, 07:21 AM

Apparently, Paul has suffered massive hearing loss , so he needs to protect the little hearing he has left...

Posted by: Spiderusalem Nov 2 2007, 07:21 AM

He's got some sort of ear condition, and the headphones protect him I guess.

Thats a lie, they're actually magic headphones that gets its feed directly from guitar heaven, where he listens in on jimi hendrix and randy rhodes shredding.

Posted by: Animosity Nov 2 2007, 09:51 AM

I want in!

Posted by: Wyvernx Nov 2 2007, 09:53 AM

I wish I could meet him someday, and study with him like Buchead did. Someday

Posted by: Tjchep Nov 2 2007, 09:56 AM

Ok how is he doing that lapping noise in the beginning, right after the slide?

I'm thinking thats an effect? a Flanger?

Posted by: Gen Nov 4 2007, 03:20 AM

Yes, he uses a Flanger pedal.

Good job, you can be in the offical gmc gilberto fan club too!!

Posted by: LwShieN Dec 5 2007, 07:41 AM

Have to say Paul gilbert is my favorite guitarist , he is a very melodic shredder and just an all rounder instrumentalist and guitarist. I Have to agree that music nowadays are mostly rubbish MTV and what not mostly feature idiots like justin timberlake and rihanna and 50 cent ( no offence to the fans out there ) but i think the 80's was the climax of music and it all started going down hill from there

Don't get me wrong, i agree that there are awesome musicians and music from the 90's and now but not as ground breaking and influential as the 80's .. and though i was born in this era but i prefer the 80's ...

Long live gilbert

Posted by: mattacuk Dec 5 2007, 10:18 AM

Fantastic, another PG Fan club member!

Posted by: Smells Dec 5 2007, 04:24 PM

Posted by: Willie the pimp Dec 5 2007, 04:39 PM

Paul Gilbert is a fantastic guitar player, but i just dont get the same good feeling as i do while listening to Hendrix or page. i guess its just to fast for me

Posted by: mattacuk Dec 5 2007, 09:10 PM

Yeah , Im seriously thinking about getting a ticket! I know satch is great, but im only going to see Paul !

Posted by: Smells Dec 5 2007, 09:15 PM

I`ve seen Satch twice before and its a good show, but yea me also m8, I wouldnt bother again if PG wasnt the support, I only went to see satch last time coz the support was Michael Schenker

Posted by: mattacuk Dec 5 2007, 09:17 PM

Posted by: Smells Dec 5 2007, 09:20 PM
