Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson - United States

[sixxswine]

For those who stretch their musical pallet I have to receommend to you the Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson album entitled United States. It's one of the best albums I have heard this year, it's a power pop album that's not too far removed from classic Queen meets Marvelous Three or Butch Walker. This isn't a shredfest like Mr. Big or Racer X or Gilbert's solo albums this is well rounded record.

Hmm... may be worth checking out. I've quite enjoyed Pauls stuff over the years (granted they were shred fests).

Well said my friend, Paul played 2 songs from it and they sounded even better live, I caught them this year here in San Diego at the HOB on the guitar generation tour with Lynch & Kotzen

Paul sang both really good, he did solo Gilbert from Get out my yard and the Rhino cd hehe mostly,3 Racer X instrumentals & 2 Mr Big tunes, it was a very mixed set, and Paul sounded awesome with those vintage modern Marshalls he plays now

Holy shit! That's too bad man. He's a great guitarist. Racer X was the shit.
You remember the guitar he had when he was in Racer X with the fucking fringe on it?! How fucking off the wall was that?! He also used it later on with Mr. Big. I recall reading somewhere where he said the fringe worked well for keeping his hands dry as they brushed off excess hand sweat...
