Paul Gilbert’s Fuzz Universe Tour: Europe, 2010

Paul Gilbert Touring Europe This Autumn!

“American guitar wizard (and Bullet Cable endorser) Paul Gilbert will bring his ‘Fuzz Universe’ to life, during his return to Europe in late autumn and early winter of 2010. His most recent album, Fuzz Universe, contains 12 guitar-driven songs, and demonstrates Paul’s love of rock, blues, classical, pop, and jazz – all with an intensity that keeps his shred-guitar fans satisfied.”

In addition to presenting his new songs for the first time live, Paul will be performing favorites from Racer X, Mr. Big, his solo career, and other surprises as well.”

Paul says “This is LIVE. This is REAL. I’ll see you ONSTAGE with my GUITAR plugged into some big AMPS.”

Bullet Cable Again Named Essential Gear For Paul Gilbert

Guitar whiz Paul Gilbert has released yet another instrumental platter, ‘Fuzz Universe‘. Among the rave reviews and accolades this record has been garnering, there has been a bit of press. One of the interviews Paul participated in was for Premier Guitar magazine. Paul’s interview has been published online, for their Sept. 2010 ‘digital edition’.

Some highlights of the interview include:

The Gear Box – bottom of page 3, where Bullet Cable gets a mention!

and

Q: “What’s your favorite guitar part on the new album – and why?

A: I really like “Fuzz Universe.” It’s very representative of the metal side of my guitar playing, but I think the song and playing are my best yet in that style. I love so many parts in “Olympic,” too: It has arpeggio ideas that I’ve never done before over a chord progression I’ve never done before. I think “Mantra the Lawn” has some of my best phrasing and vibrato, and “Will My Screen Door Stop Neptune” has a super-fast solo over chord changes where I nailed it in the first take. It’s actually the solo from the demo. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to play it that well again. I haven’t tried because I never did a second take!”

Will we get to see these cool coily cables in action? It sure looks like it: Paul will be on tour this autumn/winter in Europe. Please bring us back some souvenir pictures if you go to any of the shows!

I “Believe” I Missed this One First Time Around

I was coding a page in our new site and the reference page that I had open had a selection of music videos playing. A band labeled as “Unknown” came on and the video caught my eye when I saw what seemed to be a plethora of Coil Cables. I nudged Ted and said, “look at this video, it looks like a Bullet Cable ad”. The “Unknown” band was in fact a pretty known band, The Bravery, and the song was from a few years ago, “Believe”.

Since this is the first time I have seen the video (coding has put me sort of in a cave for the last few years), and since this band is rocking the Coil in some of the coolest grooviest ways, I just have to share in case there are a few more people like me who haven’t seen this yet.

If you get a chance to check out the new corporate site, I invite you to do so: coreoneproduct.com
Feedback is always welcomed.

Lords of Altamont Rock Europe
Take Bullet Cable along for a Ride

Long time Bullet Cable users, our good friends The Lords of Altamont just wrapped up their summer European tour. We spoke with lead singer Jake ‘The Preacher’ Cavaliere and this is what he had to say, “We just finished 27 shows and Bullet Cable pulled through like always: Looks the best, and functions the best! We love that classic look of the cables, but Bullet Coil Cables are actually built right to handle the wild stage show we put on!”

We had the pleasure of catching the show right before they left for Europe. The show was hosted by Cretins Motorcycle Club — A sweet spot in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Being a parking garage rooftop clubhouse it has a killer view of the high-rises against the city skyline.

THE LORDS ARE:

Kevin “The Phantom” Starr
Adam “Lights-out” Levine (official on tour bass)
Kina Stewart (fringe, and Go Go boots).

LOA played a full set that included go-go girly wild dancing to the music . Jake and the guys really know how to keep a crowd going with high energy performance that made an an impressive show of pure energy Rock. The Lords of Altamont have always been huge Bullet Cable fans, and the sound was awesome pouring out into the city night!

Night started with a great lineup (bikes and bands) including The Kimble County Killers, and The Legendary Swagger before our friends took the stage.

If you’re in Downtown, The Cretin’s Clubhouse is a great place for an old-school rooftop motorcycle party and we recommend the vibe to any devotee of the bike who wants a good show.

Paul Gilbert Unleashes New Album ‘Fuzz Universe’ On Planet Earth

Bullet Cable endorser Paul Gilbert’s ‘Fuzz Universe‘ will be unleashed on an enthusiastic planet Earth, with Japan first, on June 30, 2010. This third instrumental album makes for a very interesting trifecta of guitar acrobatics.

Here’s the cover and some information!

Paul Gilbert (Racer X, Mr. Big, G3) is one of Japan’s most-loved and best-selling Western guitar heroes. Consistently given top ratings in reader’s polls in music magazines, his albums have sold several million copies in The Land Of The Rising Sun (and elsewhere). Gilbert is regarded as an inspiring pioneer in the “shred” genre. With over 20 years of recording, touring, and teaching experience to draw from, his versatility on his chosen instrument continues to shine.

Fuzz Universe, Gilbert’s third and newest offering, is said to be “his strongest guitar playing to date”. The “insanely fun” album is packed with “so much guitar playing that your head will explode.” Released on June 30, 2010 through WHD and Victor Entertainment in Japan, the album began to take form in March 2010. Like Gilbert’s past two instrumental albums, 2006’s Get Out Of My Yard and 2008’s Silence Followed By A Deafening Roar, this platter contains a variety of moods, dynamics, and melodies.

Besides the Hollywood Guitar Maniac playing “some of his most difficult work yet”, Fuzz Universe marks Gilbert’s premiere recording with the incredible technical talent of bassist Craig Martini. Martini toured with Gilbert’s band throughout Europe during autumn 2008. Familiar faces re-appear: Emi Gilbert’s skilled hands work the keyboards, and Jeff Bowders bashes new rhythms in to our bodies on the drums.

Gilbert’s varied influences are given time to shine. The opening track “Fuzz Universe”, a heavy riff-and-solo number, provides both a landing and an endpoint. “Plastic Dracula” continues with this intense metallic frenzy. “Count Juan Chutrifo” is said to nod to Hendrix and other bluesy artists. “…Chutrifo” is a clever wordplay, another specialty of Gilbert’s. Jimi Hendrix, ever-present, gets a nod in the titles as well as the music for “Will My Screen Door Stop Neptune” and “Don’t Rain On My Firewood”. On “Mantra The Lawn”, it’s Jeff Beck and Pat Travers we ‘hear’.

For the Japanese edition, a cover of Johnny Cash’s “Leave That Junk Alone” is included as a bonus track. Other covers include Todd Rundgren’s “Blue Orpheus” and an arrangement of J. S. Bach’s “Partita In D Minor”.

Gilbert is said to be one of rock’s most gifted guitarists. Set to inspire a new wave of six-string twangers, the rock ‘n’ roll of Fuzz Universe is a must-have for music aficionados everywhere on planet Earth. In addition to digital download through Amazon, Fuzz Universe will be released August 3 in the USA (Shrapnel), August 6 in Europe (Mascot), and August 9 in the UK (Mascot).

Tracklisting:

1. Fuzz Universe
2. Olympic
3. Count Juan Chutrifo
4. Bach Partita in D minor (J. S. Bach)
5. Blue Orpheus (Todd Rundgren)
6. Will My Screen Door Stop Neptune
7. Propeller
8. Don’t Rain On My Firewood
9. Plastic Dracula
10. Blowtorch
11. Mantra The Lawn
12. Batter Up
13. *Leave That Junk Alone (Johnny Cash) – Bonus Track (Japanese edition only) (Paul Gilbert: vocals, guitar)

.

PLUS: Make sure to check out Paul’s tour schedule for Europe this autumn/winter. You never know what you’ll hear and get to enjoy!

Sort of like “Where’s Waldo” if you look really hard, you will see that the Black Skull Instrument Cable and black Cross where a part of the scene.

Upcoming episode will show another Tribute, only we are predominant in sequence and so watch for it!

In meantime, how about a little sing along with the cast?
