I've been a Paul Gilbert fan for years ... quirky and fantastic!
I first heard him when he and Yngwie Malmsteen played together at an event and really like him with Racer-X back in the 80's and then Mr Big with Billy Sheehan where he took off.
I had not kept up with him over the last 20 years until I saw him do a wacky interview with JHS pedals founder Josh Scott.
So I've been listening to him again.
