He is a monster weather you like him then or now. Not many guys can do then or now like he did.
The Racer X albums are still cool too me. They had a certain vibe.
I remember watching a current clinic with Paul on youtube where he commented on much of the new music and guitar players and said..."They strum chords so fast with no break...where is the dynamics of the song?"
That sealed my faith in Paul
Although impressive, this isn't an example of what I love about his playing. This is more or less mindless wank, what I love about his wankery is it has melody and groove to it.
