@@PsychGrad Yeah, yngwie is good, he has great opuses (concerto for guitar with symponic orcestra), but... I think, his guitar tone is terrible... I don't like it. I prefer PG

Let's appreciate Paul as a great joker. He made a total mockery of the golden age shred-like-me instructional videos, and still delivered awesome shred-like-me instructional videos
i remember watching this back when youtube was only 4 years old fast forward to 2024 re-watching this again today never fails to cease my excitement and awesomeness at this.
Love how Marco sends his right stick flying and rolling over the cymbals at 4:12, but he continues as if nothing had happened. He even smiles at the camera and throws it again on purpose :).
@@malterecksiek2798 Agreed. I use both. Sometimes in the same song. The slow ones that don't understand you can make amazing sounds from both are just bad players in general.
Oh god the bassist is so good, the drummer so cool and as usual our shredder rocks. But seriously these 3 guys nailed it, they did their job so perfectly done.
Every time I get sick of people whining "ugh people who play fast have no feel," I come back to this video to witness the pure joy on Paul's face as he effortlessly expresses himself on his instrument. Then I remind myself that "no feeling" is just the boomer version of "I could play like that... if I felt like it." Winga dinga dinga.
The original studio version of "Scarified" (which also has the astonishing double kicks doubling the wicked main guitar riff) is by the superhuman drummer Scott Travis!
Paul and Marco are rightfully acknowledged as being absolute masters of their chosen instruments,but I'd like to encourage everyone who sees this clip to check out Linus's solo records, especially Triangle,Your Favourite Record and Let Yourself Be Happy. Linus writes catchy,melodic songs full of great playing(mostly by himself),and has a voice similar in tone to that of Glen Tilbrook of Squeeze. Deserves to be much better known.
Thanks a ton for the recommendation. I decided to check the album Triangle. Was pleasantly stunned by how ear-friendly the songs are. (I mostly end up stopping most songs after the first few seconds...even for bands I like.) The fourth song is playing now... [I'm tempted to let the album finish and then post this reply...] {Well... the fifth song started by the time I posted...} Thanks again... [oh well... sixth song started...]
I was heavily into Paul Gilbert and all of the shred stuff when I was a teenager. But I've been listening to a lot of Nerf Herder lately, fun nerdy pop punk. I was really surprised to learn that their guitar player (Linus of Hollywood) used to play with Paul. Very cool! I need to check out his solo stuff like you said...
I love how the drummer inadvertently went Def Leppard at the end and just rolled with it, catches the stick and ends the song like it never happened. Love this video. Always come back from time to time and never gets dated.
When PG appeared, he terrified most LA band guitarists. The thing that frightened them most was he was making instruction videos exposing the secrets of how it was all done. Nobody gave their secrets away in those days, but he made shred accessible to all.
Paul Gilbert is one of the most humble guitar god I've ever seen..and is playing is always phenomenal by any standards.. that goes the same to Marco and Linux as well
My nephew just stopped by and he is one to tell it like it is and he told me to look you up to listen to. I kinda said yeah ,sure I will . But I spaced your name out and kinda went, Yeah I always hear about the hottest players from friends so I take it with a grain of salt. About 20 min after he left I went to change my shirt and noticed a post it with your name on it . As I walked into the bathroom there was your name written in the mirror, several other post it's were found ,all with your name on it. So oooo short story long I sat down n typed your name into youtube and ,,,,,,, brother ,,let's just say I wasn't disappointed and I believe my nephew was right on the money about your guitar wizardry. I love it and I'm only 1/2 way thru one cut.. Hats Off ,Bravo and all that other groovy shit, You Smoke Brother Gilbert . ❤️🎶🎵🎸 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Glibert I met him as a teenager in 1991 with Mr Big gave me a pick and is also a lovely guy. Wish I had known about his Randy Rhoads history beforehand another one of my influences. He did tell me to check out Pat Travers though, I remember that much.
I love the spacesuit aesthetic, it's fantastic. The playing is exponentially fantastic. Artists like you need to have greater prominence in popular music.
I totally never saw the drummer lose his stick at the end before. Probably because I’ve always used this as a teaching video and to practice to, and I’ve never made it passed the bridge LOL.
I found Linus of Hollywood body of work through this video! It was such a surprise!!! Incredible musician!!! If you play together with Paul and Marco, you ARE GOOD!
They play so well because they are all fucking in. Love the passion these guys have for music. You can seem them being POSSESSED by their fucking playing!!!!!! Fucking brilliant!!
I remember seeing them many times back in the late 80's at the country club in reseda with the original band, they kicked so much ass! Couldn't hear for a week after. ha
I remember this from so long ago my childhood buddy could play this whole song at like age 11-12 and paul gilbert even gave him one of his guitars. miss those days haha
I like the new intro. I always say "take is away Marcco!" Some of you most beautiful picked arpeggioes I have ever heard. #PizzaSteve #Shredd #ShreddDurest #Tone #Music #MrBig The double symbol crash! He drops the stick and everything. #PaulG #Ibanez #ArtCore
The sheer precision and timing of this team remains unmatched..love the aggressive riff and it's smooth AF melodic moments..also spacesuits are very appropriate for some reason 🤣
Coming back to this after 3 or 4 years knowing this song, I graduated in June and before school ended I played a "senior showcase" and I played the scarified riff in this mix of other little riffs that inspired me to play, Then I had my friend come on stage to sing a LOG song for me. I love this song so much and it pushed my guitar playing to that next level, even tho I can't play past the first riff💀
Every knowledgeable guitarist on the planet hate Mr Gilbert's story....When Mr Shawn Lane passed,Paul bevame the most untouchable guitarist on the planet...Name anyone that can be the all encompassing ambassador for rock gtr...Nobody can touch Paul as a Complete Six Stringer
Every time I come back to this video, the best part is still during the big ending where Marco drops his stick, catches it after it rolls across all the toms, and then proceeds to use it to his advantage with a stick throw... Ridiculous lol
He is super revered amongst guitar players who emphasize speed, aka most guitar players these days. It’s just that people tend to focus on different stuff as the years go on, as everyone in 00’s was talking about John Petrucci of Dream Theater, in the 80’s and 90’s Gilbert was talked about a loooot. I think his lack of actual good songs is what held him back. People were talking about Dimebag and Zakk Wylde more often. Randy Rhoads was still huge, deservedly so. People were already making fun of Metallica and Kirk Hammett though in the latter 90’s. It was understandable as long as they didn’t also trash their 80’s output which was amazing.
@@christiangasior4244 Lack of good songs, are you nuts? So many amazing songs from Racer X, Mr. Big and solo career. You forget a lot of what makes any career happen is luck and connections. Everybody who made it in the scene knew somebody--Gene Simmons discovered Van Halen; Jake E Lee was in Ratt before Ozzy; George Lynch was recommended to Don Dokken; etc. Paul Gilbert I think has been huge amongst guitar players from his days in MIT and of course the legendary VHS tapes. His shred metal band Racer X was relatively more underground but pretty big in 80s LA scene, but he became more mainstream and an international success with Mr. Big, which had more of a melodic hard rock sound, but they only had a handful of hits. They were mostly big in Japan in the early 90s.

About once a year I come back and watch this. Still has not got old.
I hear it in my dreams randomly. I don’t mind it at all
legend
Space suits are just timeless. ;)
It never gets old, the part where bass and guitar play a tapping bridge always blow my mind.
Same here
I'm still so impressed at how fast Paul is able to play the intro then run over to the band and put on a spacesuit before the next riff
no shit :) :D
He's just that fast

Eh it’s all relative. I was born in 85.
I remember one where we went up and down the same escalotr set over an over
Gilberts speed is so clean and crisp he gives his shredding a unique sound like no other !!
I'm not a metal fan, so I always like to hear someone who can shred in a musical fashion.
@@FlyGuy2000 maybe because his lineage is next in line after Micheal Schenker who played very melodic solos.
He is not shred, he picking like arpegio in speed mode..

What a badass. Drops the stick, picks it up, gives it a good toss, all while never missing a beat.

Hahahaha I thought the same thing when I first saw this
H _A,_ nice. (😜)
Pissed my pants on this one hahahhaa
I thought he stopped working at 0:27 when he blew up
I believe many of us have only seen the one with 0:57 forward. I've never seen that intro before, Paul is hilarious.
This intro is in the full version of this live
