PAUL GILBERT IS AMAZING!

If you pretend to love guitar, you must own some of his solo stuff. If you like instrumentals, get "GET OUT OF MY YARD". If you love vocals, get "SPACE SHIP ONE".

There shall be zero argument. He rocks. And you should buy his stuff.

Definitely NOT Just A Four Piece Jazz Kit...



"Amazing" is completely inadequate to describe this guy.

EDIT:
Okay, a little more on TB: every drum on that massive kit is tuned to a specific NOTE. He has both diatonic and chromatic notes on his kit. Therefore he can actually play distinct melodies on his toms.

He can also play two different rhythms with each of his each on his foot pedals while playing melodically on the top toms. (I've seen his do this in person twice. It's stunning to watch.)

And since DJ's too lazy to use the YouTube search function:

Two Amazing Stories... (Positivity from ME? Perish the thought...)

http://www.lewrockwell.com/bonner/bonner319.html

Two stories, one column. The 2nd is the more striking to me. It helps smash the idea that private individuals and organizations can't "help the poor". I read someone else saying governments have to do charity since "no one else would do it". I think that "reasoning" is bullshit.

How can anyone expect folks to be able to afford to give time or money to the needy when our government eats fully half of the productivity in this country?

Yet this guy described does amazing things without a grant from the UN or any other gov't. Read it. Well worth the time spent.
