There are plenty of bass players who play super fast using their fingers. Billy Sheehan, John Muyng, Thomas Miller, Felipe Andreoli, just to name few. Personally I think pick is only on the way of using several different techniques, like tapping or slapping.
i hate how people holding cameras are blocking beautiful bass shred at 1:15 ..This is Juan Alderete, bass shredder before he joined the Volta! He still got it though.
Amen to that - Scott and John make it look very easy, all the while being totally unbeatable. I just fucking love Racer X and I can only hope they will put out some new material in the next few years.
@jeffrey95 : I think it makes up for the loss of the second guitar in this song, it doesn't sound too bad. Maybe it just needs lowering a little bit to make the solos a little more audible.
agreed. Watch Paul play Scarified on other shows here on UA-cam, and it sounds different. Nobody can play it like Scott and John.

Even though I saw Gilbert playing this number live in front of my own eyes, while watching this video I got the impression that he has 5 fingers for a moment there :)
A bass player doing scarified with his FINGERS! Holy shit somebody give that dude a frikkin medal!
It's certainly a challenge!!!
that's how Juan originally did it lmao

That's the original bassist, Juan Alderete
If Juan Alderete did JUST THIS SONG, he´d still be one of my fav bassists!!!
Tremendous musicians! Paul & Juan RULEZ!!!!
JK Kross Paul Gilbert is my favorite guitarist, but seriously, any bass player that does this song is the real MVP.
Juan is a huge inspiration to me, and after his unfortunate accident I’m glad to see him on the mend and doing so much better!
thank you so much for posting this!
How great is this?????!!!!!!!
Friggin loved that band!!
loved it, 5 stars. glad to see more footage of this show
i love it!!!!
amazing!
damn, Juan Alderete is an underrated bass player. SICK!!!!

PLAYING WITH HIS TEETH!!!!!! crazy performance!! i love racer x
HOPE YOU GUYS WERE BACK TOGETHER....SEE YOU SOON...
this is the best song ever!
Not delay. It's the signal leaking through different monitors.
@immortalx50 is it Racer X's Juan alderete on bass ;)
YEEAAAAH !!!
Racer X for life !
Man... scott and john really makes this come alive. Paul is always great, but its not SCARIFIED without racer x!!!
This is so BRILLIANT! Paul is God in a human body!
is it Mars Volta's Juan Alderete on bass?
No, it's Racer X's Juan Alderete on bass :p
Was in Racer X long before Volta,Vato,Scream...etc But yup Same bad ass
i think its so he can get the arpeggios to harmonize so it sounds like two guitars
where's bruce guys?

The guys are hard at work here!

@RacerXband if it wasn't supposed to be like that, then why wasn't it turned off?

If i'm not mistaken, there's luka modric on drum?
is that the new pgm401?
his "old band" is Mars Volta or Racer?
what's the role of the "man" with the microphone?
dose he have a delay goin on? I hear 2 guitars...
man that's some bass playing.
It's a pity that I can't hear John Alderete.
HOLY SHIT that's a lot of delay, and i don't blame the guy at the beginning for being scared of paul
none other than John(Juan) Alderete.
I set that goal 5 years ago...And I am still stuck at 105 bpm....
damn...that's way faster than paul usually plays it with his solo band.
Love the f-hole shaped rear electronics cover...
Juan still got it!! If only Bruce played as well, that would be epic
damn racer x is GOD.
@RacerXband Juan Alderete
WOW john looks so cool! 0:33
juan alderete is awesome!!!
28,890
I think they were just cheering because of how epic the solo was!
god, at the arpeggios paul looks like a happy little kid, lol
I really like Paul Gilbert and the Marshall stack sounds good, but the delay made that think kinda wierd :-/
anyway awesome performance!
they made 3 albums without bruce since 1987
Holy Mother Of God.....
oh wow. wtf. why?
@DJParkesie959II ur crazy
I think you mean "John Alderete" as he used to go by, lol.
Lee LeTourneau yeah then he joined the Mars Volta and embraced the raza inside him
wow !
don't you guys think Paul's delay was too heavy??
He seldom do that when he play this
song....
But still awesome playing though.
he is playing through randy rhoads heads and cabs...and that is alot of delay
I wish Bruce was here. :[
Apparently Paul didn't like the sound guy for doing that
zomfg. Thats PGM500!!!!!!
Awesome, a little to much delay, but still great as hell
no it just restarts
dude you didn't get the joke
LOL
Seems Michael Angelo (The guitar player) on drums
hahahahahaha
Yes:) but seriously only few, among others MA Batio can play reasonable solos so very fast.
delay has killed it :(
No...Paul used NO DELAY. The sound guy took it upon himself to add delay out the board. Stupid.
KILLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
LOL..Yes..it's John Alderete.
I came
delayified :/
Marky Ramone on drums haha'
holy delay batman!
BUT THE WORLD ENDS IN 2012!!!
Wow that delay is horrible!
Alice Cooper on da drums
Was an awesome night, But im soooo fucking angry at the sound guy.
Obnoxious delay is obnoxious.
yes, the sound guy was really dumb on this. I hear it better now. Terrible sound. Sounds so unclean with the added echo from the board
@fhorsaken I'm sure you're a much better player...
man what an amateur sound guy to put delay on pauls guitar...has he ever done this before?
i hate paul =/ why does he have to play so clean =/
shit delay....ruind it
