those who says paul gilbert is not diverse clearly hasn't heard any of his stuff during mr big, his solo stuff and been to his clinics..... He can play everything from pop to metal...
Ouch at 2:33 Nuno is such a killer. Love him to death. Such a freaking great guitar player. To be ranked among the best players and so underrated...Maaaaan!
Paul and Nuno together are just as a dream that comes true. They're over the top, period!! Funny when Nuno calls Paul "Fu**in'" Gilbert at 5.15 and he goes close to Paul watching him at the end with the expression "C'mon man, how can you do that!?!?"!!! :) They're soooo cool!
@@neillalchin1595totalmente equivocado mi amigo!....Paul Gilbert es tan reconocido como Satriani o Vai en todo el mundo pero lo más importante: RESPETADO por mismos virtuosos!
Realized it long time ago but unlike the other quitters I realized Paul Gilbert is Human just like me he eats like me he poops like me therefore I can do what he can do too as long as I dont quit I may not be as good near PG now but at least I can play the guitar better now than I was years ago
Naw no way Paul is extremely down to Earth, had the chance to meet him and his wife at a show and even htough they just finished a show he took time to show me some licks and jam with him. He was still excited after all that work onstage, hes very childlike in his love for music
i know he was in g3 in 2007, but this is awesome too. i think it's awesome to see many of your favorite guitar players playing together in the same show
Paul said that he wrote Viking Kong because he wanted to do a heavy metal duet with Yngwie, but as Yngwie didnt want to, Paul had to play like Yngwie :) Gotta love Paul Gilbert.....!
Hi all, That effect was the prototype of his Airplane Flanger that Ibanez released. There is a chance that it was the original ADA flanger he has used for years. I have the Airplane and if you dont have one, get one. It is the coolest effect I have. It has so many sounds you won't believe it. Best to all.
after watching this video, anyone new to this video will know why its called 'Paul Gilbert - Viking Kong' and not 'Nuno Bettencourt - viking kong' ...PAUL OWNS THIS SONG!
Great vid this is. I personally prefer Paul Gilbert, but that's my own opinion, I somehow understand the soul in his playing, which some people can't. It's just great =P Nuno rocks too, by the way. It's just music, people. Good music too.
If you look Paul neck pickup you will observate that it's a single-coil for this guitar, it's maybe another Jem single. Nuno use a Duncan 59' in the neck position and the famous Bill Lawrence L-500 in the bridge position.
paul gilbert ...speed picking string skipping some ligato lineal tapping...some catchy tunes...nuno bettencourt speed picking string skipping with tapping some sweep bending...imagination...groove and super catchy tunes....EPIC win for nuno...
amazing!!! i think these two are better than g3... haha, nah, i also love g3, but this show was amazing. besides john petrucci, these are my two favorite, and it was great to see these demons have fun together and put on a great show. thanks to the other musicians too
I don't care much for the song,but THESE two are absolute Guitar Masters/Monsters.I love PG's picking technique,SO percussive,unrivaled.It sounds especially badass when he's playing blazing fast in the lower register!🤯.ie;5:00 in!Nuno's ryhyms chops are ridiculous,funky.Great soloist too.And THEN there's Nuno's Acoustic guitar prowess!Nuno should've been included on a G3 tour years ago.Brad Gillis and Gary Hoey too.EVH refusing to do side projects was a mistake(IMO).HE woulda been a GREAT G3 performer/addition!!People that do weird things on guitar(deep"bag of tricks"),not just 1 trick ponies.Instead,they chose Collen,Petrucci,Sheppard,EJ(big fan,but not G3 type),Timmons.YJM(big fan),Govan,Luke,Morse...
@jonahtran1 You know 6 months ago when I read your reply I didnt quite appreciate the beauty and depth of slowing things down musically but I gotta tell ya man, Ive been listening to Miles Davis Blue in Green and some cool jazz and I cant even get into shred anymore LOL. As the world turns I guess huh? Cheers man
for the past few years paul has been using the paf pro a lot in the bridge position , i dont know his dino guitar has a paf pro or tone zone but i'd assume it is a paf pro especially since he has the the single coil neck and middle
yeah i would so totally listen to shawn any day casue hes what every guitar player should be he had the greatest and most impossible techinques to offer
I love Paul gilbert in the music way, he has whata guitar player must have to be good this means ( Talent = 100, performance=100%, technique = 100%, feeling = 100%), he is the Holy Paul God bert.
@Piratcykel Yeah, he did. There's great footage of that festival floating around. I think it was in Barcelona. There's a great vid of BB King and Gary Moore swapping licks on Thrill is Gone. I saw a documentary of the whole thing back in the early 90's, but haven't seen it since. Hey, it's probably on here, isn't it? Phew, there goes this evening.
Everybody who doesn't think Paul Gilbert plays from his soul, and who is a critic, watch this video. Type this in While My Guitar Gently Weeps Yellow Matter Custard. I would've posted the link but you tube won't let me. Sheesh. Also the solo at the end of The Door from Neal Morse's new album is intense! One of Gilbert's best solos.
EPIC! Gilbert and Bettencourt on the same stage! Amazing!!!! LOVE THEM
Extreme and Mr Big are the best bands of the 90's change my mind
Paul is so brave with his tone, backing it right off n letting the single coil tone shine through, his technic is flawless!!!
nuno's solo is awesome I love how it comes in rocking everybody
I'm terrified just to see what the "Viking Kong" character looks like. He sure has a badass theme song.
Just imagine King Kong with a Viking helmet and axe there you go
@@Lcky-gu2gi And a shield
That song was inspired by Yngwie Malmsteen.
@@danielrosadoguitarit was written by Paul to play it together with Yngwie, but he never replied.
@@PiciorTe Exactly. Paul himself explained that in another video.

Paul!
two of my fave guitarrists :)
it is a shame that Racer X is no longer, i would have definitely gone to one of their concerts, amazing band
PG is not longer a heavy metal guitarist...
@@danialakabani2771playing live he def is, because he plays his old songs too
He never was just a heavy metal guitarist.
Thats some amount of talent on that stage! - awesome seeing Paul and Nuno letting rip together.
those who says paul gilbert is not diverse clearly hasn't heard any of his stuff during mr big, his solo stuff and been to his clinics..... He can play everything from pop to metal...
Literally... anything you throw at him, Paul can do. And do it ten times better. 10X!
i love watching 2 (or 3) guitar gods showing respect for each other, and fighting for the glory, at the same time...
fuck nuno's entrance is so awesome, one of the best parts of the song
Paul Gilbert is THE MAN. This concert would be amazing to see. So many great musicians.
My favorite viking kong performance right here, a little slowed down but you got so much feeling
Holy Moly that is incredible. Paul Gilbert and Nuno on the same stage. Paul Gilbert is amazing on guitar more than ever.
Came back to see this. So happy to see Nuno get the attention today he rightfully deserves
want the entire show, plz
Ouch at 2:33 Nuno is such a killer. Love him to death. Such a freaking great guitar player. To be ranked among the best players and so underrated...Maaaaan!
Nuno is as technical as any shredder around. Nuno is scary!
Paul and Nuno together are just as a dream that comes true. They're over the top, period!! Funny when Nuno calls Paul "Fu**in'" Gilbert at 5.15 and he goes close to Paul watching him at the end with the expression "C'mon man, how can you do that!?!?"!!! :) They're soooo cool!
Amazes me to this day how underrated Mr Gilbert is, a very special talent indeed. NA1974🇬🇧.
Gilbert's underrated?
@@KyleLee-ov2lg yea compared to the likes of Satriani, Vai etc, didn't ever seem to get the recognition he deserved. Neill
@@neillalchin1595totalmente equivocado mi amigo!....Paul Gilbert es tan reconocido como Satriani o Vai en todo el mundo pero lo más importante: RESPETADO por mismos virtuosos!
Something is sounding out of tune, but its still perfect for my ears. Racer x songs are amazing
That moment when you realize you're not Paul Gilbert or anything close........ :/
I realized this 25 years ago personally.
Realized it long time ago but unlike the other quitters I realized Paul Gilbert is Human just like me he eats like me he poops like me therefore I can do what he can do too as long as I dont quit I may not be as good near PG now but at least I can play the guitar better now than I was years ago
Knock it off
Unless you are Buckethead 🤣
Not even 500 miles away for me speaking
Toooo super cool player. Dig em both!!!
Thank Nuno for stepping up and playing that duet where as Yngwie was scared..
Naw no way Paul is extremely down to Earth, had the chance to meet him and his wife at a show and even htough they just finished a show he took time to show me some licks and jam with him. He was still excited after all that work onstage, hes very childlike in his love for music
Paul Gilbert y Nuno Bettencourt Brutal...
i know he was in g3 in 2007, but this is awesome too. i think it's awesome to see many of your favorite guitar players playing together in the same show
Not only did I enjoy their solos, I also really liked the rhythm guitar they played for each other's solos
it's amazing....with all the PG vids out there, i've ever seen paul f'n gilbert play messy.....ever.
OMG.... Gilbert You're the BEAST!!! this song is very cool =D!!
Two my all time favorites ❤❤❤
La primera vez que vi este tremendo jam quedé flipando. Ambos son extraordinarios!!!
Thanks 4 the post, this is one of my favorite Racer X tracks.
Que honor tener a nuno haciendote la segunda!!!!! Grosos los dos-...
Nuno's solo is just so badass
AWESOME......THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU man!!!! i just saw the vid!!!... i'm spechless dude!... i would have give almost anything to be there!.
Paul said that he wrote Viking Kong because he wanted to do a heavy metal duet with Yngwie, but as Yngwie didnt want to, Paul had to play like Yngwie :) Gotta love Paul Gilbert.....!
both of them are GOD of Guitar !!! \m/
Awesome Nuno. 👍
Two of the best ever, just great.
I love this song. I wish I could have bought Pauls pink guitar I saw it an hour late and it was gone. = (
That is an old RG750 that was the first guitar Paul received as an Ibanez endorser. The bridge was changed to fixed years ago.
Francamente es uno de los mejores guitarristas del mundo , si nada lo impide el dia 27 de septiembre lo tendremos aqui , alli estaremos .
..and they sound amazing together as well.
First solo: Paul forgets to shred on this shred song and puts everyone to sleep.
Second solo: Nuno: "It's ok Paul, I got this"
Paul Gilbert, and
AWESOME...
synonymous
Hi all,
That effect was the prototype of his Airplane Flanger that Ibanez released. There is a chance that it was the original ADA flanger he has used for years. I have the Airplane and if you dont have one, get one. It is the coolest effect I have. It has so many sounds you won't believe it. Best to all.
my god, im just surprised the building didn't erupt, with that much awesome-ness packed in
he's been shreding a billion consecutive notes withl 100% percent accuracy
his human body cant stand the physical strain of it
paul gilbert says its not a guitar war, its a guitar conversation. and he his very fluent indeed.
2:33 he is all like: omg! playing with paul, got to play the fastest and best i can so he can be proud!!
crazy-amazing Nuno-PG combination! yeah!!!
man.....this guy is sooo my favorite guitarist
Holy crap! I love it!
i love when nuno comes in on the solo
showin off his mad guitar skills PAUL GILBERT!!
One of his best.
after watching this video, anyone new to this video will know why its called 'Paul Gilbert - Viking Kong' and not 'Nuno Bettencourt - viking kong' ...PAUL OWNS THIS SONG!
its amazing how he put total brutality awesomeness in this slow song man....
Great vid this is. I personally prefer Paul Gilbert, but that's my own opinion, I somehow understand the soul in his playing, which some people can't. It's just great =P Nuno rocks too, by the way. It's just music, people. Good music too.
AWESOME Gilbert & NUNO RULE!
2 Absolute GODS among mere mortals!!
Amazing!
Paul and Nuno YEEEEEEEEEES!
You don´t need to press the high quality button for this video. Just pressing play will make Paul Gilbert insane quality music flow.
Its called humility and respect.One is humble DESPITE being good himself.
they're both insanely good i refuse to pick who's better!
gilbert è un grande non ti annoia mai !
paul gilbert never makes mistakes because paul gilbert is the best guitar player ever!
you're right. Paul did have to slow this down for the rest of the band to keep up. Cool to see Nuno. Havent seen that dude for a long time.
paul gilbert is so good at putting feeling into his music... it must be really hard to put that much feeling into around like 4:00...
It's an RG750 FA there pretty hard to find now especialy for me in the uk. Btw the stickers on the guitar are holographic dinosaur stickers.
That unison bend at 0:39 tho! :O
that squeal was GODLIKE!!
If you look Paul neck pickup you will observate that it's a single-coil for this guitar, it's maybe another Jem single. Nuno use a Duncan 59' in the neck position and the famous Bill Lawrence L-500 in the bridge position.
paul gilbert ...speed picking string skipping some ligato lineal tapping...some catchy tunes...nuno bettencourt speed picking string skipping with tapping some sweep bending...imagination...groove and super catchy tunes....EPIC win for nuno...
Fantastic
amazing!!! i think these two are better than g3... haha, nah, i also love g3, but this show was amazing. besides john petrucci, these are my two favorite, and it was great to see these demons have fun together and put on a great show. thanks to the other musicians too
I want to go back in time and force myself to be him when I grow up.
@NothingBox It wasn't a tour. It was only one show, if I'm right. I would've loved to see them. It was in Japan
he does some of his licks a lot of times, but his licks always amaze me
Brian Carroll is "Buckethead", Paul taught Brian back in GIT, I think, or MIT, it was one of the two, hence the similar styles.
you are right indeed, man. amen
I don't care much for the song,but THESE two are absolute Guitar Masters/Monsters.I love PG's picking technique,SO percussive,unrivaled.It sounds especially badass when he's playing blazing fast in the lower register!🤯.ie;5:00 in!Nuno's ryhyms chops are ridiculous,funky.Great soloist too.And THEN there's Nuno's Acoustic guitar prowess!Nuno should've been included on a G3 tour years ago.Brad Gillis and Gary Hoey too.EVH refusing to do side projects was a mistake(IMO).HE woulda been a GREAT G3 performer/addition!!People that do weird things on guitar(deep"bag of tricks"),not just 1 trick ponies.Instead,they chose Collen,Petrucci,Sheppard,EJ(big fan,but not G3 type),Timmons.YJM(big fan),Govan,Luke,Morse...
@jonahtran1 You know 6 months ago when I read your reply I didnt quite appreciate the beauty and depth of slowing things down musically but I gotta tell ya man, Ive been listening to Miles Davis Blue in Green and some cool jazz and I cant even get into shred anymore LOL. As the world turns I guess huh? Cheers man
for the past few years paul has been using the paf pro a lot in the bridge position , i dont know his dino guitar has a paf pro or tone zone but i'd assume it is a paf pro especially since he has the the single coil neck and middle
yeah i would so totally listen to shawn any day casue hes what every guitar player should be
he had the greatest and most impossible techinques to offer
I love Paul gilbert in the music way, he has whata guitar player must have to be good this means ( Talent = 100, performance=100%, technique = 100%, feeling = 100%), he is the Holy Paul God bert.
this is just crazy !!
I love your country man!!!! kakaka!!! enjoy that saturday! then upload some, 4 us to see! :D
I agree with that one guy! Nuno was the one who was rippin' it up
@Piratcykel Yeah, he did. There's great footage of that festival floating around. I think it was in Barcelona. There's a great vid of BB King and Gary Moore swapping licks on Thrill is Gone. I saw a documentary of the whole thing back in the early 90's, but haven't seen it since.
Hey, it's probably on here, isn't it? Phew, there goes this evening.
PG has the best guitar solo face expressions ever!
Everybody who doesn't think Paul Gilbert plays from his soul, and who is a critic, watch this video.
Type this in While My Guitar Gently Weeps Yellow Matter Custard. I would've posted the link but you tube won't let me. Sheesh. Also the solo at the end of The Door from Neal Morse's new album is intense! One of Gilbert's best solos.
Viking Kong with Paul and Nuno. Holy f*CK.
I admire how Paul doesn't feel the need to be shredding at super speed constantly. He doesn't have anything to prove.
just listen to paul's guitar filling while nuno is doing his solo... is sick!!!.
i like this song, amazing
Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert, and it is his song, but did anyone think Nuno couldn't do an awesome job here??????
well, he's as famous (if not more) as paul gilbert, and certainly as good as him. I love them both
