No kidding there my friend! I've been a big fan of Bruce for a long time. I really liked his playing in The Scream as well. I found it crazy when I heard he'd never played slide and the producer said they had to have slide in spots and he just stepped up and figured it out at the studio. He's still a smoking lead and rhythm. I can't believe how clean his leads are here. I hated it when Corabi left and went to Motley Crue, I understand why he did but I still hated it. Grunge was coming on, maybe that had something to do with it. They were getting some major rotation on radio and MTV so I would love to see what album two would have really been like. I'll have to keep an eye out for any clinics coming to Nashville, TN or Evansville, IN. I'm a drummer and singer but still like to go to clinics of players I dig.

Agree

@@saltykrug maybe Bruce ends up like Dann Huff the former guitarist of Giant who lives in Nashville and is a producer, mixer and session guitarist. Bruce is too good to be kept down. Even Paul Gilbert commented on how well Bruce can play the blues. Ultimate compliment there.

@@Shaft-Industries Yeah Bruce is hands down one of my favorite guitarists from any era.

@@saltykrug Different levels of natural talent and hard work and greatness ya know, just cause Boulliet here could never literally equal Paul Gilbert- who both had freakish genetics with his hand size/length and also had the arguably luck? to not get carpel tunnel and etc- dang sure does not mean Bruce is not still a great in his own right ya know. No shame at all in the career he's had. I'm sure he's very grateful at the end of the day for all he's got to do and proved and the countless hours he to put in to perfect his craft!.

Agreed ! He gets overshadowed !

I agree on that man

Thats my dream tone🤩

Because unlike Paul he doesn't use DiMarzios. He uses a Duncan JB and Minibucker. Also, the Friedman amp sounds pretty darn awesome.

i reside in scotland now and brough all my racer x albums with me! hahaha it wasnt easy getting them in brazil neither!

he sounds sweet no matter what he plays through! I took lessons from him and he sounds just as badass on a roland cube! It is all about his incredible technique, not what he is playing through!

Bruce Bouillet would sound like Bruce Bouillet no matter the gear that he use. Just Like Eddie Van Halen would sound like Eddie no matter the gear that he use. But the gear is very important, you wont see Bruce or Eddie using a Gorilla Amp to play live or record. You would see both using pro gear that allow them to achieve the sounds they want. The friedman BE-100 it's an amazing dynamic Amp, extremely useful that sounds like heaven, which can sound like on this clip no matter if the volume is set very high or whisper volumes with losing definition or dynamics and no matter how matter the crazy setting that you do it will always sound damn good. When i said "Bruce sounding sweet with a Friedman BE-100" what i meant was that a legendary guitar player like Bruce is playing a amp that was built for a guitar players like him in mind.

mxr2000 I have never played a Friedman just because I've been happy with my Mesa Boogie simulclass 290 I bought in 1991. Personally I prefer rack mount stuff with seperate preamps and poweramps. when it comes down to it as long as an amp has tubes it will have high quality sound in my opinion.

A fanatic myself from mesa stuff since 1982. MB 2:90 a fantastic power amp. my favorite was a 50/50 stereo power amp a bit more 80's mesa Sound, along with a 1989 Quad preamp and a Metal grill 4x12 half back cabinet loaded with 2 EVM on the Bottom and 2 c90 black shadow speakers on top. you got to try someday BE-100 it would blow your mind.

mxr2000 I found my tone, but if I ever need a backup amp i'd check one out. traditional heads just aren't my thing. Are they a stereo amp?

I've always liked this guy way over gilbert...he´s so natural with the guitar, great flow!

was a gilbert student, the same buckethead, and he never was in his shadow. bruce didn't do a lot of his music.

True...Doesn't get the credit he deserves.

MR BIG sold millions of albums, the bands that Bruce was in after Racer X did not. I think that's probably the biggest difference.

misterjohn john hey mister John John Lots of pretty cool licks here... I wonder how many are PG’s and how many are BB’s?
