Relayer2112 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I love the way he gets rid of the slide for the solo and puts it back on afterwards without missing a beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Paul Gilbert is an incredible guitarist. If you want to hear his take on a few more Rush songs; check out "Cygnus and the Sea Monsters", a live Rush tribute show put together by Mike Portnoy, where he was on guitar.

RushFanForever Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 We're all aware of Mr. Big opening for RUSH on the 1990 Presto Tour where both bands did 'In The Mood' live together. My favorite thing about Paul Gilbert is that he cites Kim Mitchell (Max Webster fame) as a guitar influence below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah_SR_nBdrkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ftAKs6AHR0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I watched the intro and thought ok good stuff but how's he going to sing it...? Well of course he didn't need to... That was probably the best Fly by Night cover I’ve heard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I love the way he gets rid of the slide for the solo and puts it back on afterwards without missing a beat.I could never do that...either the damn slide gets stuck to my finger or I drop it on the floor. Speaking of slide, I can't remember Alex ever using a slide. Any examples that I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Well, at least somebody finally played it live.Yeah, RUSH should have done that for R40 and just let the audience sing it. Would have been a nice gesture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Reminds me of when Candlebox riffed on a bit of it when they opened for Rush in 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
