Guitar whizz Paul Gilbert was just 19 years old when he helped form 80s metallers Racer X in 1985. In the almost four decades since, he’s proved to be a prolific and unpredictable force, playing with rockers Mr. Big and releasing an impressive 18 studio albums as a solo artist.
With Mr. Big having played their final show in August, he admits he’s taking the time to enjoy life a little more. Case in point: when he talks to Classic Rock about the music that set him on his musical odyssey, he’s visiting ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo.
