Since his earliest days as a teenage sensation, then onward and upward with Racer X and Mr. Big, Paul Gilbert has captivated audiences with a striking combination of searing theatrics and hyper-fluid virtuosity.
As one of the preeminent players of the '80s, Gilbert found himself on top of the world with Mr. Big, as albums such as Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), and Bump Ahead (1993) found smash success. Still ever-curious, Gilbert played rover, leaving Mr. Big in 1998 and embarking on a successful, hyper-varied solo career.
