Cool version, I love Paul's music, I saw him live last year and he was killer (He played lots of covers: Close to your heart by Maddona, Something by The Beatles, some Van Halen tune I can't remember, Jumping Jack Flash by the Rolling Stones and Karn Evil 9 by ELP)

I dunno, his stuff always seems the same to me, and with serious lack of passion and or fealings and diversity. Like its all just the same shred licks/exercises over and over...I respect him and all though...Don't take it to heart though, remember, this is comming from a Steve Vai fanboy He just can't hold a candle to Becker, MJR, Satch, Vai, Lane etc...

 

[proulxski]

fair enough statement! But as you speak their are many Gilbert fans on your stoop waiting to beat you with their tripped out axes!

I'm not sure, but I believe that this version of Scarified was recorded as part of Paul's "Space Ship Live" DVD... Hence the spacesuits. It's listed as part of the playlist on the DVD so I'm guessing my guess is pretty fuckin good. If you don't dig PG, you might as well be left-handed in a right-hand orientated world.

Linus fkn rocked out on this version... I really enjoyed seeing/hearing the bass being owned like that. IMO Linus > John Alderete. Marco (the drummer) Minnemann added alot of flair to the drums too.

Damn, and I thought the bass on this version sucked ass compared to the original.

This video kicks ass. PG is great. Besides being an awesome player, he has a sense of humor. It's obvious if you look at his website.

Paul Gilbert is god...

I sorry, but i beg to differ. Racer X is one of my favorite bands, and IMHO made some of the best metal riffs ever. I think Gilbert is pretty diverse also. Listen to technical difficulties from racer X. Then listen to green tinted 60s mind from Mr. Big. This is coming from the uber Paul Gilbert fanboy though

I don't really like PG that much, but I did laugh at his photoshop section of his site

the original guy tried way too hard, his fills have no melody and are he tried to play too fast, it just sounds like awkward spasms in the middle of the song

 

[Androz]

Nice way to say it

So, always the same, and lack of passion, sort of like EVERY Vai cd post Fire Garden? I'm in the exact opposite universe. While I like Vai & Gilbert, I really feel Steve has lost a lot of his "hunger" to be the baddest palyer on the planet, and this is coming from someone who has admired his abilities since he first joined Frank Zappa's band. I hope he does come out with another ball buster, he's on the right track with his latest, but isn't quite there yet.
PG had some blurb on his page about an all instrumental cd that sounded cool. PG seems to be coasting lately as well. SSO, imo, sucks. Both guitarists are immensely talented, and both can still shred.......
