- In order to properly celebrate the 20th anniversary of Paul Gilbert using Ibanez guitars, Ibanez promoted Racer X live! This was the first USA show since May 25, 2001.
This is Motorman, which is a song about Jeff Martin. It's known for it's very difficult signature opening lick that was written by Bruce Bouillet.
This is recorded in 1080p, but rendered in 720p. This is the highest resolution that UA-cam can display correctly.
It's crazy for me to see Jeff in this light. He's just my neighborhood baseball buddy. Or my friends dad. I love being able to see things like this. :)
Bruce wrote the opening to Motorman....and Paul has said it is Extremely difficult to play correctly. If you were at the Whisky show...Paul stopped the show to practice the intro before the song.
Jeff Martin is an underrated singer...
Best Shredding BAND EVER !!
Everyone is ON here! Love the grit in Jeff's low notes, stellar performance.
It's crazy Jeff Martin was the drummer of Badlands for touring after singer left
You guys are simply the greatest!
I was at this show in the front row.....absolutely killer!!!
This was NAMM???!!! What a treat! Killer!!! Long ago,,,never been but last one seemed to be a dissapointment.
What a band!
@RacerXband Haha so great. Remember I absolutely loked this song as a lil kid..now I'm 34..and be damned if it doesn't still kick some butt this song!!
Man I was hoping Bruce was going to jump out for a surprise appearance.
Simply amazing!!!!
ha im singing in the crowd with jeff when he puts the mic up, it was soo cool, sorry i cant sing well
Damn, Paul never messes up but I guess he still has trouble with the intro to this song haha.
In addition to what these other guys have said, I believe Paul has also said that he generally doesn't sweep-pick because he feels like he falls out of time more easily (although to our mere human ears it's probably unnoticeable ;)), so the combination of all these things probably means he sometimes doesn't feel quite comfortable with the intro.
God these guys are so cool True Metal...I watched these guys all the time when I was a kid they would play Chuck Landis Country Club in Reseda...
To be honest, Paul plays that lick just great, considering what he says about it and sweeping in general.
Now do a tour while you're at it! RACER X ROCKS!
@ShinOnigashima Actually its Tinninitus, a condition that causes ringing in the ear that only increases with age...
@ShinOnigashima that sucks, i mean he had an album out in 2008 years ago and he was playing with paul the year before. theres even a lesson from 2009 on youtube... :(
I MISS U BRUCE BOUILLET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
VERY cool!
@RacerXband lol theres hope for us mortals yet :P cant wait to see PG on saturday :)
@rockmanX117
Well, he has tendonitis I believe, and also he is more concentrated on producing and mixing, aside from his different tastes in music.
yes i believe that was me
hey if you guys at RacerXBand want the cap give me a shout, im sure you guys would do something cool with it
YOUR HEART IS PACING!!!!
Fucking incredible
i just got my first ibanez S series. and it's all Paul's fault! man, i wish RacerX would come somewhere near me. i'd love to sing with Jeff like that, too! god, RacerX songs are so much fun. and hey, it takes balls to fit into pants like Jeff has hahahaha
i have the cap from that tequilla bottle, paul drank from it!
I have proof of it too so please dont post re's saying im bullshitting, i just think its cool, its sitting next to my pick i got at this show too :)
RACER X and PG rule!
he was asked by Paul and wanted to, but those behind the event (ibanez probobly) decided that they only wanted one guitar.
It's Cool!!!
racer x please do a world tour
5:56....wow Jeff amazing
How come they never invite or get Bruce to come to the Racer X shows?
the sweeps in the intro of this song are THE MOST ridiculous sweeps of all time. Bruce Bouillet is the shizz!
I wanna see them play street lethal
i'm pretty sure those are Randy Rhoads amps. you can see the 4 inputs
@xaviergizmo well its paul gilbert he prolly just made it look hard so we wouldnt discover that he's a god in disguise.... cause nothings hard for 'ole PG
yea i agree...i he got used to holding back and losing it :(
@GriffMob
Bruce can't play anymore, sadly.
It was the first time I saw Paul Gilbert having difficulties to play something. It must be the most badass riff on history LOL
Can Bruce play it? Just curious now...
Pls tell us in what mament? For me, this song is simply dominated by singing part and singer, so Paul plays only short solo and it's technicall perfect, no false note!
Piotr Hobbysta 3rd and 4th beat of the song didn’t come out
Was that the sound of a dead cat we heard? :)
Skip to 2:32
@shreddeth7 lol his bad days are good days for us normal guitar players!
WOW they are back
Are they working on a new album?
Paul has tinitus... not Bruce...
@ShinOnigashima Why not?
1:24-1:30
So True!!!
The Vintage modern work better for his style now.
Laney was good for when he was in his shredathon period.
NO ! don´t you know that RACER X used a FLUX COMPENSATOR ?
1989? LOL. It was recorded January 2009.
are those randy rhodes marshalls behind gilbert?
Isn't it great? Why is this genre of music not popular?
A-Fucking-Men
Fire the fucking sound man... Racer X shreds and this is sad...
Shredding? Again, please tell us when? Paul has only short improvised solo, so he plays fast, we can call it shredding, but what's wrong about it? It's only very short solo! So it cancels all his abilities, all his earlier songs? Pls, more balanced estimations.
haha juans name in english is cool!
hahahah, cool..
YEAH RACER XXX
THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS IT? thats my favorite part
when did paul use peavey? he used laney before...
Jose Cuervo Tequila!! lml
0:39 HE TRY TO FIND YOU?
@NecroCuntPunter
Didn't Paul had that condition? Not Bruce?
if it weren't for john racer x would be the tallest band
he was drunk lol same as jeff xD
LOL
@xaviergizmo he did it on purpose so we wouldn't execute him like we did for Jesus.
Older dudes shouldn't wear checkered pants or sleeveless vests... It's just looks bad. But great song. Paul and Scott rule!
what is it? sorry missed the intro part :(
Vocal is so faaat....
because no one gives a shit about bruce, minus paul on g3 lol
Ah, paul completly missed the third sweep in the intro for this song... but im still the biggest PG fan out there who cares, hes still amazing.
