Do you do drugs?
No!
I don’t think ozzy will want you in the band
Wasn't Randy Rhoades alcohol and drug free ?
Strick nine his name was Randy Rhoads. Have some respect for the greats.

This ain't a spelling bee fuck stick.
Now run along sport and don't forget to brush your teeth.
Strick nine why so upset over a simple joke? Calm down and have a cookie boy.
Paul when I was 15 years old I was putting drum heads on my kit and I was listening to a local rock radio station and they said Randy Rhoads was killed in a a plane crash it broke my heart..Rawk!On Paul Gilbert
One of the most depressing events in history if you are a fan of music and Rock....
I have to add , Paul is a lovely guy. Humble and very down to earth.
ive been watching ALL your videos for 10+ years. thanks for all you do paul!
"Im 15"
"Ooohhhh"
Gets me every time
Randy Rhoads is my favorite guitar player and Paul Gilbert is the best guitar teacher on the planet.
Paul is a great guy and musician! Randy was an outstading one either.
I was at the February 2nd show at the civic arena. Row J.
There are no perfect opportunities in life, just narrow cracks in doors which get slammed shut in your face if you answer incorrectly.
Wouaw... Amazing ! Thanks Paul !!!
Dude still has it just like Reb Beach!
Get outta my yard!!!! what happened to the pink guitar that was cool.God loves you deeply
Hugh Laurie is getting pretty good at guitar. They should have did more of this in House MD.
Has a Kemper... I want one so bad but just saw the Synergy amps vid...hmm
I had no idea Paul was from Greensburg!! I'm from Pittsburgh!! haha
Is that just a tuner on the headstock?
Paul has a freakishly long pinky finger.
thank god you were too young. otherwise we wouldn't have both RR and Mr. Big :)
Paul Gilbert is a genius player, but above all, a decent person. A REALLY decent person.
Yup. Really great dude. Shows through in his playing too. Not arrogant and really genuine.
I agree...
Such a humble man, for such a great capacity with the Guitar.
He's one of my Greatest.
It couldn’t be more evident in his demeanor and therefore his style! What a great guy! Know this.
How can a man who is so insanely, ridiculously, incredibly talented, skilled and creative be this humble and modest about himself. I respect and admire Paul so much for this reason. Doug Aldridge is another. Gotta love these freakin awesome brothers.
Answer: Japan
Light Sara I think Paul has always been that way. Japan doesn’t make every expat humble or “Japanese.” Some of the most arrogant God-complex’s I’ve come across are Japanese creatives.
@@megazoned3973 Agree hehe
robert proctor It seems grandpa forgot to take his meds
You're right about Doug. I met him in Copenhagen in 2008. He was visiting Dio at their show at Amager Bio. I was starstruck and gushed about what a huge fan I was. I told him that I loved his extended solo in Don't Talk To Strangers on the Evil or Divine DVD. He said, "Aw... I do okay. I just try my best to not make these guys look bad." Then he asked where I was from. I told him that I was on R&R from my deployment to Iraq. He pulled me aside, away from the other fans at the meet & greet. He took a few extra moments to tell me, "You tell your brothers and sisters out there that we support you. We believe in you. We love you and we want you to all come home safe." I'm a solid Doug Aldrich fan for life. I bought all his albums and will see him live whenever he comes to California.
*He should be eternally grateful that Sharon Osbourne never got the chance to sink her claws into him...*
Oh how that statement could not be more true
Oh but Ozzy was always in on it. He should not and does not get a free pass (except from some naïve fanboys). He said it straight to Jake's face with no shame that they screwed him good and that's just the biz'.
@@haliaeetus8221 Agreed... The two headed ettin, "Sharozzy", is equally at fault, but where Ozzy is an evil idiot, Sharon is an evil genius, at least in a Machiavellian sense... He may be the image and the voice of the rodeo, but she's the brains behind it all, and always has been, at least since she hooked up with him after Sabbath fired his ass... She's the boss in that business arrangement, and she calls the shots... He just goes along with them, whether happily, or with him bitching and screaming the whole way..., he still does her bidding...
@@Kreln1221 👌
Josh: Funny though...if you listen to Rudy Sarzo’s account of how he was mentored into the Ozzy organization ...Sarzo gives a glowing account of their hospitality and family atmosphere...
Not contradicting you, we’ve all heard the same horror stories about Sharon Osborne....just wondering if she got twisted after Randy died or after they rotated so many players...
"I don't think Ozzy wants a 15 year old in the band" 😂
Ozzy's loss..
Well Zakk was just little older. With Paul Ozzy would have gotter more musicality, less hair
Paul would have just gotten screwed over by Sharozzy like Jake did.
Yep ... your probably right. Paul has done very well for himself regardless. In the end , he probably dodged a bullet.
If Sharon found out she would have said 'Great, we'll get him for free'
rip lol
So far I find myself smiling watching his videos. It just comes naturally, it's joyful to see him talk. He is such a cool guy and looks like he still have all that teenager spirit inside. Good series of videos!
That's a great comment!!!!!!! I totally agree with you!!!!!!!
mitsay He is the model example of a role model for other guitarists/musicians.
mitsay Paul Gilbert is one of kind! Great guy!
So true!
same here
It's funny because hearing Paul talk about how he felt being contacted by Mike Varney and the excitement he felt is exactly how I felt when Paul replied to my emails. Great guy!
Same thing I felt when Slash DM'ed me on Twitter! Best day of my life! lol
I also had a great experience meeting him back in his early days at GIT. A friend of mine was going to the school and I went out there to visit him and see if I could meet Paul. I went to the school for a visit and got to talking with Paul and mentioned some song that was on his rehearsal tape to Varney that I really liked and he mentioned that he didn't have a copy of the tape any more - he had given away the last copy! I told him that I had my copy that he had sent me with me and we met up at his apartment later so I could make him a copy of it. He was kind enough to loan me, a stranger, his dubbing deck and a bag full of rehearsal tapes! Really nice guy and an awesome guitarist.
Yep, he replied to one of my emails about 10 years ago or so. Jaw on floor moment.
Imagine how shocked I was years ago when he was teaching his first year at GIT and I met him there (not as a student but visiting a friend) and I met him and mentioned that I liked a certain song off of his Mike Varney Demo tape that he would send you if you wrote him (But you had to send a little money for the tape and shipping). Anyway, he said that he didn't have a copy of that tape anymore. I said that I had mine with me and he could dub it if he liked. He then invited me to his apartment and showed me a drawer full of old rehearsal tapes and even one of a then new Racer X album (first one) before it was released then proceeded to let me borrow a bag full of tapes AND his dubbing deck! We even exchanged a few phone calls where he would explain to me how he was playing songs like "Blowin' up the radio" etc. Unbelievably nice guy.
yup had a same feeling when Paul replied to my email I was shocked to be honest
I was fortunate enough to have been a student of Randy for several years back in the late 70's. Sadness doesn't even begin to describe the day he passed. Paul, you guys would have had some amazing conversations. He was all about learning and teaching and swapping ideas with other players. He was one of a kind. Great video, brother.
yeah imagine paul gilbert taking the path to be in ozzy's band at 15 drug addict at 16 raped by sharon at 17 might of not even made it to 27
Or had a mysterious skiing accident....
@@deancrow3525
Like Randy's mysterious "accident"
This is one of my favorites thus far...Your teenage daydreaming went quite an extra step farther than most!
Wonder what Ozzy's hits we would have now if it was Paul.
Yeah might be a song called "stay fresh".
gaybutte just kidding lol. Hello fellow splatoon player.
One can only imagine, if Zach didn't 'Xciter' it all For so many mediocre years now.
Jolly Swagman speech difficulties could have been one.
Idk. Paul isn't exactly a hit maker.
Randy was my guy, and the one I wanted to play like the most when I started playing guitar when I was 14. Ace Frehley made me want to play guitar, but it was Randy who influenced me the most as I loved his aggressive tone and style. Great work Paul, love what you're doing! AJ "Newton's Cradle"
Same for me....Randy was the man. Mr. Crowley was the scariest song on the planet when we first heard it on vinyl in bumbfuck christian-world Ohio....i became instantly obsessed with Randy ever since
"Do you do drugs?"
"No."
(Well THAT sucks..ok...please be a minor, please be a minor)
"How old are you?"
"15"
(YES!)
"Yeah...I don't think Ozzy will want a 15 year old in the band."
Ozzy should have had a 15 year old in the band in this case.
Why not? He had a 19 year old in the band.
So i now live in Greensburg Pa where Paul grew up. He has responded to my emails, and i have worshipped Paul since 87. Paul Gilbert makes me sooo happy
Queen_kylie 25 I live near State College and I had no idea he's from here in Pennsylvania!! Idk, I just never bothered to see where he's from I guess. Still really cool though!
I'm still a huge fan of Randy, too. Wish I could have seem him on stage.
You know what separates Paul from the rest of the all time greats? You guessed correctly. I don't even have to say it to know what your guess was. Just listen to the noodling around he does on just about every interview. He knows just about every riff from every song written, even 70's pop songs. He just did an interview with Lee from Andertons and he was playing an all piano song on his guitar just because he wanted to be able to. And to top it all off, I think Paul would give a cold person his coat without even being asked to. I will support a guy like that through anything. I buy everything I can find on iTunes to show my support, and because he produces high quality music. Just listen to "Use the Goddamn Turn signal!" and you'll get it.
Cool guy
Paul's always stood out cuz of his ardent demeanor and humble attitude.
Like someone said times ago, something like "Paul can play every song he has ever heard, and a few he hasn't", lol.
Sooooo truuuuueee . PAUl Gilbert is soo legendary man its unbelieavable
this video is a small representation of those top artist, ruclips.net/video/Q8qZREpob8M/видео.html Paul vs Marty. They are out of this world
Randy Rhoads was one of a kind !!!
Aren't they all? Clapton, Beck, Page, Van Halen, Morse, Vai, Satriani, I could go on....
Steven Nieto the fuck?
Lol Grave Violator is better and more kvlt
What strikes me is that the guy who co-wrote the forgettable cheese curds on the Japanese Quiet Riot release went on just a year or two later to co-write songs like I Don't Know, Over The Mountain and Suicide Solution. Who could have predicted that??
@@termsofusepolice Well, probably Randy matured, but mostly he worked with other two good songwriters in Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake who surely helped him a lot.
paul is the coolest guy in history
no Mr Feeze is
Now, along with his guitar playing, I could probably listen to him talk all day!
Cool, interesting, humble guy.
I love this man.
Hey Paul, I've always been a big fan. I took some good pictures of you playing with Racer X at the Troubadour, 1986 I believe. I studied classical guitar with the same teacher as Randy. His name was Robert Vaught and he taught at Glendale Community College in Glendale, CA. After 3 semesters, I started taking privates with Vaught. I was a huge Randy Rhoads fan and tried to ask Vaught about Randy but he hardly ever spoke about him. He was absolutely devastated by Randy's passing. He never wanted Randy to play heavy metal. He wanted Randy to finish his musical studies and become a professional classical guitarist. Robert Vaught was his teacher, friend and mentor. Before Randy died he was planning on going back to school at UCLA to finish his musical studies. Unfortunately that never happened. My personal experience studying classical guitar under Robert Vaught was absolutely amazing. He was such a great player and teacher! I've tried to look him up but have been unsuccessful finding him. Randy's death always haunted him. Robert would be about 75 years old now. If anyone knows where he is, please let me know.
Woah! That's one thing I didn't know about Paul Gilbert. Then again, why am I surprised? :) All best to you Paul. Come and visit Poland again sometime.
I STOOD 10 ft. away from "RANDY" during the "BLIZZARD of OZ" tour on August 17, 1981. Less than 9 months later- he was gone!! AND only 1 year and 3 months B 4, "JOHN LENNON" was killed. I thought, "What the HELL is going on??!" I remember exactly where I was on both days that, "I heard the news todays oh boy... about a man who was killed on a 'Crazy Plane!'" NO JOKE, INSULT, OR SARCASM INTENDED AT ALL!! After we saw "RANDY" (definite highlight of the summer of 1981... and I was a "mere" bass player at the time), we were out in the streets playing air guitar, while making riff/solo sounds with our voices!! The audience was WILD!! And we WERE NOT stoned or drinking AT ALL that night- COMPLETELY SOBER!! I remember where OZZY was standing, while RANDY performed his "SPOTLIGHT SOLO!" AND I think Sharon was just to the left of him standing slightly off stage. Perhaps it wasn't her, but there was a woman there... and they were both intensely watching "RANDY!!" I still don't have a Marshall. I'm a DAV... doubt it would do much anyway. "DEF LEOPARD" opened for "OZZY." The venue was relatively small... but PACKED to the rafters!! What an AMAZING SHOW!! I still remember the clean scent of the performing arts center. AND that was the summer when the "RANDY vs. VAN HALEN" feud was in full swing among musicians!! Well... that's my "RANDY RHOADS" story.
mmojorissen mmojorissen good story. I was a little too young to see Randy play but I have a very similar Dimebag Darrell story. Two guitar legends gone way before they should have.
@@chipchap2625 Dude- I was so pissed off when that FUCK-HEAD, Nathan Gale, shot and killed "DIAMOND DARRELL." 3 other innocent people were killed that night. The Marine Corps and VA didn't monitor him closely enough. When someone is discharged with a diagnosis of schizophrenia showing symptomatic pathology of paranoid delusions, that someone needs 2 B closely monitored. Gale was discharged in 2003 and went on his rampage in 2004. There were definitive signs of SERIOUS delusional thoughts, leading up to his actions that fateful night in December, 2004. AND it didn't help that his mother bought him the murder weapon in 2002- MORON!! In any case, we lost an ORIGINAL HEAVY METAL GUITAR SHREDDER and ICON!! "DIMEBAG" was a MONSTER of a guitar player and WELL-RESPECTED in the professional guitar and music industry!!! RIP "DIMEBAG" and your brother, VINNIE PAUL!! NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!
It is true Ozzy did not have the same love for 15-year-olds that Jimmy Saville had.
Corrie De Beer omg that was bad !!!
Who??
@Bread& Butter really, try crawling out from under the rock you call home and wake up. coffee's brewing.
@@DancePorty same for you ronnie, boy
LOL Paul!! You're a great story teller. I grew up in Burbank, California one block away from the Rhoads family and took drum lessons at Randy's mom's music school Musonia from then Quiet Riot drummer Drew Forsyth. Paul just curious if you knew or heard of Drew's guitarist post DuBrow, Craig Collins Turner? In my humble opinion he had that same driving tone and to be honest was maybe a little better than Randy. He auditioned for Ozzy twice and was number 2 both times, I want to say due to image. Drew's band NETWORK was a very large draw during the heyday of the Sunset Strip day's and Drew then gave me two lessons a week in exchange for being his drum tech/load in/load out guy. I was a young dumbass 17 or 18yr old, hanging around older women and being allowed into the Rainbow because Drew knew Mario and it was just debauchery. But if you haven't heard Craig Collins Turner play please youtube him. He took on Randy's students after Randy left for England. George Lynch had a very short stint as a teacher at Musonia, but he got caught stealing from Mrs Rhoads and she was very sweet but a staunch business woman. What I learned from Drew and this helped me later on when he opened two rehearsal studios in Burbank and he had some national acts rehearsing there. Ozzy, Motley ect and I learned that the person you see onstage isn't the same guy offstage. So I didn't do the star struck nonsense and ask mundane questions about music. But then I had to grow up so I enlisted in the U.S. Army as an M1A2 Abrams crew member and served for sixteen years and both in desert shield/storm and two tours of operation iraqi freedom, before I was severely wounded while dismounted from my tank with my combat medic bag helping our line medics triage wounded soldiers. I was retired in Jan 2005 and it was an honor to serve and I still play the tubs in my Churches praise band. Sorry for the long post Paul, you seem very cool and laid back. Much like myself, God bless you and your family and have a great week brother.
angry grandpa
Craig Martin I doubt this guy was better than Rhoads.
C.C. Turner used to call me Nick Bob! I haven't seen him in years but he was just the best guy AND a killer player in his own right! I actually think he was the better player... more articulate and cleaner, but Randy had it in the bag for stage presence.
Thanks Craig for sharing your memories,
Agreed CC turner was a superior player. He died in 2017 i think. Dude should have been Rhoads replacement.
when I first heard Randy I dropped everything I was working on and tried to play like him
I have the same last name as Randy. I didn’t know who he was as a kid, but the guys at guitar center would always say after me telling them my name “any relation to Randy?” I was like who is Randy Rhoads?
as it turns out Ozzy got an 18yo...you were only 3 hears off Paul :)
If you are referring to Jake, he was 26 when he joined Ozzy.
nah i meant zakk, i forgot jake was in the middle there
Mox_au Zakk was 20 when he joined Ozzy in 87.
what's two years between friends.
Mox_a
Someone needs to give Paul a sandwich :)
hope he's not ill and unaware
I think hes just getting older....he was always thin...
he's sitting down, we kinda forget he is over 6 feet tall and quite lanky
John Rodgers - you moron, that's how people with ectomorph build look like :/
He doesn't have time for sandwiches he is too busy shredding and being cool!
Paul is the sweetest rocker ever, that interview impression was adorable
Ozzy didn’t keep Paul because all though Paul is a great guitarist he didn’t have any writing abilities that ozzy could rip off. Ozzy ripped off the original bass player and Jake e Lee.
Keep?? He never even auditioned.... How did he rip them off? Ozzy knew that you couldn't keep the same guitars forever because they get stale except for Tony iommi which would have made Ozzy stale....
Dean Crow you should here how ozzy screwed Jake e Lee who wrote the materials for bark at the moon and ultimate sin. And the bass player who wrote a lot of blizzard of oz and diary of a mad man. Ozzy and sharrron are criminals who treat there musicians like shit! Ozzy is a performer and singer who has absolutely no creative flow when it comes to writing songs.
@@crystaldavis6169 and those guys played on those albums... It just didn't work out for some reason or another. Yes they want to be like... I was Ozzy's guitar player until he screwed me out of my songs and ruined my career, but at end of the day those were Ozzy's songs because he was Ozzy. If those guys didn't find success after Ozzy it had nothing to do with Ozzy. Thanks for the discussion 👍 keep your head up kiddo
What he ripped off Bob daisley and Lee kerslake,who where on the early albums.Without Bob daisley Ozzy would not be making music,and Sharon denied them royalties for years Bob and Lee finally got there money owed to them.
I don't think Ozzy was sober enough to rip anyone off. it was the manager/wife who did all dirty jobs.
Hey Paul, I'm now playing guitar with one of your students from the 80's. He speaks highly of you. I've been a fan since Racer X. Intense Rock taught me to shred. Thanks for all that you have done for us.
I too sent a tape to mike...never heard a thing back. I reckon it goes without saying, I’m not on Paul’s level. He’s seems like a good dude, we messaged back and forth a few years ago. Very humble dude.
Just recently discovered this series with Paul. Interesting to watch him talk about growing up in Greensburg, cause it was right down the road from me, and I'm probably only 2 years younger than him. Sadly, I didn't start to hear about Paul until probably just after he left for California, cause I used to go see one of his old bands, Giant, whenever I could. So, then the second Racer X album comes out and I get my copy, and this song comes on..........and I'm wondering how I'm already able to sing along to it, only hearing it for the first time. So, I look at the song title "Living The Hard Way".....and I see the writing credits "P. Gilbert" and "D. Gonzales".........and that's when I realize that "THIS is an old Giant tune!". Dave Gonzales was the lead singer, and a fellow Mckeesport, PA resident, and this was the one song that made it with Paul, to California, onto a Racer X album. If only I coulda seen Paul play back then, but, sadly, it seems like I was a few steps behind.
Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin never would have happened because Jake wrote all the material on both albums (although Sharon screwed him over, like she always does to people, by forcing him to hand over all credit to Ozzy).
Jake wrote SOME of the material. Bob Daisley wrote some.
paul gilbert is easily the better guitarist then Rhoads or zakk or whatever guitarist played for ozzy.........
Blessing in disguise. Paul would have just been another guitar player causally discarded on a whim by Sharozzy in the '80's.
great down to earth guy, and hell of a player! always seems to be having the greatest of the fun while playing guitar.
The best way into Ozzy's band is to impress Sharon. Whether you like her or not, she's the gatekeeper.
Ozzy definitely missed out. PG is the man!
Man how fucking cool would it have been to see 15 year old Paul Gilbert playing with Ozzy hahaha. He could have done it too although he wouldn't be able to keep up with the partying. Jake e did a great job, super under rated guitarist. Gotta love Paul.
That’s a pretty inspiring story. I couldn’t imagine doing that at 15. As Paul Stanley once said, “if you think you got it, run it up the flag pole and see who salutes.”
I was at the Greensburg seminar. Almost all of the autographs are on the back of a yellow menu from a restaurant nearby.
where was the clinic? i live in Greensburg now, and cant imagine where the clinic was? Was it in South Greensburg, or maybe Vittones music on rt. 30?
I just remember it being called "Guitar Center". I was from West Mifflin and very young so the drive was a bit of a blur.
It was called ron’s discount music on rugh st south Greensburg
You should come back and play a show at the Palace!
besides his playing , I find his upbeat personality and down to earth approach to everything really inspiring.
Varnay , great at finding & mentoring guitarist. Paul is a perfect example of how Mike's enthusiasm for guitar gives us all the gift of great guitarist.
i have that profiler thats on the counter....in my plug in
Didn t know that Paul Uses a kemper
whoa he's playing a kemper??...wow...
Even if you repeatedly explain to Ozzy that there was a fifteen-year-old in the band I don't think he would ever really understand or care.
I’m from Greensburg and I remember Randy coming to Music city in south Greensburg but didn’t know who he was so I didn’t go who would of thought damm it.
He's such an unassuming guy, if you saw him on the street & said, he's one of the fastest, most incredible shredders of all time, you almost wouldn't believe it..
Dude is so sincere and full of life. Love you Paul!
What song is that riff from the intro from?
Bless this guy's heart man ! He is the only guitar player I know who can play you atleast 1 riff from any 70's/80's band . It just shows how much he loved music growing up that he learnt all those riffs/licks with so much dedication . He never felt the need to be different and that he should have a certain unique image or whatever which he does anyway . What I mean is that I really think Paul's the only guitar player I know who's not so full of himself.... The way he goes about recording tons of lessons online for us guitarists, the way he explains it to us and ALWAYS keeps it so simple , takes a 4 note lick and plays it in 2/3 octaves but it sounds soo cool ...I ll never forget his "the importance of rhythm" lesson on RUclips ..... Paul's such a simple soul man but most importantly he still keeps learning and he is into this blues stuff now which is soo coool , God Bless him man !
Damn.... should've said (in fake deep voice) "I'M 23"....Perfect, I'll mail you a plane ticket.
I don't think Ozzy wants a drug free alcohol free guitar player
Randy was drug free and alcohol free..........the only thing randy did heavily was he was a heavy cigarette smoker.
I grew up in Cat Spring, 15 miles from Sealy Texas. We had cattle and hay bales. I could go fishing at any time. Instead, I practiced guitar, using speed picking exercises from Intense rock TAPE! No cable out there, so I didn't watch much tv. Had a VCR though! I almost tried out for Red Hot Chili peppers, but I didn't think I could keep up with the insane party rituals.
Mike should've sent your tape over to Dio when Viv left the band. You'd have landed the gig for sure.
Anyone know the name of the Randy Rhoads riff/song at 0:33 ?
Joseph Rowley S.A.T.O
What a great story! I have a similar experience, i’m in animation... when i was a teenager i cold called a hollywood studio to ask to speak to one of the animators whose name was in the credits of a film i liked. To my surprise they said ‘hold on a sec’ and she got on the phone! I was starstruck, and could barely think of anything to say!
I love watching Paul Gilbert not only play but speak. He's goofy lol but in a good way.
Paul, can you tell more? PLEASE!
that sucks being turned down like that. I would've died. you've done well for yourself though!
Not even gonna lie that Steal Away The Night riff was fuuuuucking on point.
Met Paul last week at a meet and greet. Great guy!
But how demoralising is it as a guitarist to hear that at the age of 15, Paul’s playing was so good that Mike Varney was willing to get him an audition to replace the one & only..
Randy - Fuckin’ - Rhoads!
Unreal!!
i imagine the 15 years old me playing on a band like this... would be awesome
Where are episodes 1-5?
Rip Saint Rhoads
I love Paul. He would have been a great replacement for RR.
RIP Randy Rhoads, greatest guitarist of all time
One of The Greatest yes
Keep at it Paul! One day your train will come I'm sure! :)
Mom's basement isn't so bad!
-You've got big hair?
-*Yeah* I have big hair!
That had me smiling
I met Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan outside The Bayou in Washington DC before a show Mr. Big were playing. This may have been in 1988 or 89. Paul spent a lot of time with me and a couple friends just talking about the songs. I remember him asking us what other bands we liked etc. Paul was a super nice guy and he appreciated that we came out to meet him before the show. We were all just high school kids. It was probably my junior year. Paul really knew how to treat his fans. Was glad we skipped school to go meet him. Thanks Paul.
This world is a carcass.
Of those who discover the body?
The world will never be worthy of them.
I cannot even imagine what music I would listen to if it wasn't for Mike Varney......Tony McAlpine, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Ritchie Kotzen........Mike Varney should have a statue outside every guitar shop out there.
Peace be to you,
Do you know my friend...Thomas?
The best guys always make it look super easy....and of course it's not.
Same story from Mike Varney's side: ruclips.net/video/_r1a27Muymg/видео.html
"Are you bald?" "Nonono"
"Are you fat?" "No" LOL
You are welcome... :D
I met Paul 7 years ago here in NY at BB King's during Mr. Big's sound checking, when it was done I went to him with all due respect and asked if he could take a picture with me which he promptly said NO, THAT WAS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME IN MY WHOLE LIFE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED, after that I decided to skip Mr. Big's gig and went to see Albert Lee and John Jorgenson at the Iridium, after the gig I had a glass of wine with both and when I told them what happened that afternoon they asked me, WHO'S PAUL GILBERT? I guess I don't have to say anything else.
You just mentioned Shawn Lane, Tony MacAlpine...I didn't imagine you know them!
Thank you so much for this surprise :) I'm a your big fan!
I give you a big hug from Italy,
Lorenzo
there's a youtube video of him jamming with Shawn back in the day....
Really? Running for watching :D
Thanks man!
Shawn and Paul were friends...
Yeah man, I realized that just then.
Thanks ;)
There's a video floating around of him and Shawn playing together at NAMM and there's also a clip of them playing Let It Be together. Shawn was a truly remarkable musician one of a kind and Paul is as well. Very humble dude.
Seen title had to clarify this.......NO ONE CAN REPLACE RANDY FUCKING RHOADS!
IMHO Randy's (RIP) style, being even while shredding full of melodic parts and evedently sensible musically plan of solos. SOme nowadays virtuosos forget about melody, fucused on speed, technique, exotic scales etc. He resembles me in some sens attitude to playing solos by Jason Becker. AM I right? BTW, ofc Like & Sub :)
