Ep 846 : Paul Gilbert : Guitarist / Songwriter Mr Big, Racer X
Today on Let There Be Talk I've got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert. You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world "To Be With You," but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late '80s and '90s. Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he's pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that's kept him evolving for decades. We dive deep into: The making of WROC His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired Life in Mr. Big and Racer X Paul's not just a shred legend — he's one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock 'n' roll. Turn it up. This is Let There Be Talk.
