I met Paul Gilbert back in 1991 - 92. We opened for Mr. Big at the Stone Pony. After we all loaded our equipment in, me and Paul did our much needed laundry together at a local cleaner. We talked about me at Berklee and him at GIT, guitars, and laundry detergent. Paul and Mr. Big put on a great show that night. He is definitely "king of shred". Long live Racer X.
