    I Lost IT! I screamed like never before, and came out of my seat (I think Paul even gave me a weird look for a sec) I was completely alone with cheering but I didn't care.
    Highlight of every concert I've ever seen.
    They did not drop a single note after all those years. Much love Racer X

    I'm not a guitar player but always liked guitar driven rock or metal and Racer X was incredible when I first hear Street Lethal and then Second Heat back when they came out in the mid 80s. Very melodic. The whole band had great musicianship. One of the best twin guitar attacks was Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouillet on Second Heat.

    I talked to the most well-known guitar tech in Taipei, Taiwan once. He told me that he got a chance to meet lots of international guitarists, and he some photos with them on his wall. I saw Vinnie Moore, and few others. He tech'd for Satriani and other big names. I asked him what guitarists, did he feel stands out from all the others? He said, Paul Gilbert! Didn't pause a second! haha He then went on to tell me how Paul could pick up any guitar and play it ferociously and he knew any song people called out.

    I was at G.I.T in the same class as Paul Gilbert. I remember at graduation, he and his GIT band played in their bath robes. Funny prank. they played "Schools out for Summer" by Alice Cooper. They did a great Job. I will say, as great as a guitar player as Paul was, the #1 guitar player graduating was a red-headed Southern boy named, "Jimmy". I cannot remember his last name, but Jimmy is still one of the top 3 guitar player/writers that I have aver heard. Paul is great, but he always lacked "soul". You cannot buy that. Wherever you are Jimmy, my the good Lord be with you!
