guitar cozmo rockshe knows how to party hardwhere are the strippers?
I can just sense Gwii hiding in the bushes with a knife between his teeth.
wtf? He did that as if he was wiping something off his pants!...
I feel compelled to say once again that, as of three years ago, one of Paul's solos became my all-time favorite guitar solo. Pretty impressive, given that he bumped Alex Skolnick, Dave Meniketti, and John Petrucci to climb into the top spot.
Upon the Door, was it?

Anyway, you know, I like a lot of more upbeat, shreddy solos too. But my top two are very slow, melodic, soaring solos that just rip it up over softer melodies (Paul's and then Skolnick's on Return to Serenity). Oh, and Goldy, if you and Sneak ever change your mind and decide to consummate your relationship, I'm happy to perform a meaningless Internet ceremony for the both of you by the notpower vested in me as forum admin.
I just did a quick search and couldn't find the whole piece. There are some live clips, but it ain't Paul, so it ain't worth listening. Here's a short clip with a few second leading into the solo, the solo itself, and then a few seconds afterward. Still awesome, but it does lose just a BIT of impact without the context of the whole piece. Anyway, I'm sure you'll still enjoy feasting your ears on it. Here you go:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7xF6wQ9dzM Funny thing is, it's definitely NOT the cleanest solo I've ever heard. But that's part of its appeal to me. Even though I know every note of it and every phrasing of every note, every time I listen, part of me is like, "He's playing so on the edge, he could just lose control of this thing any second now. And I know exactly what he's building to, and there's no way he's going to hit it...is there? IS THERE?" Silly description, I know, but that's the best way I can put it. It's technical, and yet also so emotionally driven and raw that it doesn't just sound overly cerebral and lifeless. Just a perfect solo. Anyway, I'll spare you any more rambling. Obviously, me likey teh solo.
Wow.That's pretty f*cking badass. Usually his solos have him written all over them 100% (meaning I could tell a Paul Gilbert solo without actually knowing beforehand that it was him). This one is that way in places, but not entirely. Very, very nice.
Also, he played the guitar solo on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7V7BaRAy0k which is just rediculously awesome, funny and true.
Just amazing. DT should count their lucky stars that some of their fans are at this level of unconditional cult worship.
Tuning your guitar, Paul Gilbert style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqoVQ-IBOug
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
