Paul Gilbert - I Can Destroy.... teaser

[PosterBoy]

I wish he brought Freddie Nelson in to do vocals, but the playing is back to his old shreddy self again!

 

[Jimmy B]

Dude is a freak of nature, I have always loved his playing. The intro sounds like Painkiller straight into a MacAlpine lick, Paul's vocals are more "leave it" than "take it" (for me), yet his playing always gets my blood pumping. He has been confusing me like this for thirty years.

Never liked Racer X or Mr Big, but love Gilbert's solo records. Go figure...

 

[ungarn]

Go Paul Go!!!!

 

[Ubersooner]

Paul is the /thread of progressive rock guitar.

 

[Hand of Doom]

Nice, I've been on a PG kick. I love his interpretation of the blues. Pretty inspiring.

 

[BMX]

If you don't smile when you listen to his song Vibrato then you should stop playing guitar.

 

[guitz]

He's a GREAT example of a fast technical player who sounds just great with everything he plays

 

[Glass Onion]

Amazing. What the world needs is more appreciation of this music.

Best thing he's done since "Fuzz Universe" IMO. I'm not a fan of his last two albums at all.
Hopefully the rest of the album is similar to this track.

 

[SamBooka]

LOVE LOVE LOVE PG .. but I tend to veer away from the vocal tracks (cept for Vibrato). But I dont blame him.. even Jeff Beck is doing it.

I've had this album for a while. It took a while to grow on me. I like everything he has done and really liked Vibrato before this. My wife loves the song "Everybody use your ******** Turn Signal".

BTW: he has other people doing vocals and guitar work. Freddie and Tony Spinner play guitar and sing. Sadly, there is no Emi.

Is the entire album similar to the track posted above?
Some of us are still hoping for one more Racer X album...

No. The entire album is not like that. In fact, that's about the only face-melter. It's definitely not a Racer X album - and I'm also hoping for that.

It's mostly mid-tempo 70's style "safe" rock/blues.

I dunno. He's still huge in Japan. One really cool thing he's doing is releasing these albums and then doing DVD's where he shows you exactly how he's playing stuff, what types of effects, amps and the theory behind it. As you probably know he's really become dedicated to teaching and has a bunch of guitar workshops with fans and other big name guitar players. I'd like to hear him play through a nice thick rig though.

 

[freedom's door]

I dunno.

Yeah i was just being facetious. Should've included the all-important smiley.
But my days as a fan buying his albums may well be over...

 

[Psychotronic]

I dig this album a lot.

 

[thornie]

Yes! I love it when Paul goes all in and starts shredding Nintendo NES style licks. The intro reminded me of something you'd hear in a Contra level.

PG has some epic solo tunes.. I like this.!!
