steve vai vs. paul gilbert

[Tom Gilroy]

I was talking about his pic. The guy can play like a god.

[Flobanez]

Oh. I didn't see the picture. Yeah, I always thought PG was a great player and still to this day.
I really like "Frank" off The Ultra Zone. One of my favorite songs by Vai.

[Tom Gilroy]

I'm not going to pick. Well, Shania would win.

[Chud]

Hmm, i was listening to "The Ultra Zone" today.
Not long ago i was listening to Paul Gilbert's "King of Clubs"

And now i'm listening to Fire Garden...


...I can't choose .

But best way to put it is that they are both quite different. In Songwritting ability, they are both very good, however nowadays i'm prefering Vai (I did prefer Gilbert not long ago though).




...Anyone up for Satch?

[Tom Gilroy]

No. Anybody but Satch. Or Yngwie. <shudder>

[Drew]

Paul has a longer last name. He clearly wins this poll.

[Jeff]

Both Paul and Steve have their own unique styles. That makes them equal in my book.

[gunkungfu]

5 years back ago I would have said Vai but Paul Gilbert is my vote now lol

[Flobanez]

I'd choose Satch over both.

[javashred]

If we're talking strictly technique it would be Gilbert all day

[TAorama]

Pablo.

[freedom's door]

Ever since this poll was posted, i've been listening to my Racer X cd's, and...

Damn, Gilbert is unbelievable!!!!
His playing on the "Technical Difficulties" album is just ferocious, song after song, solo after solo. It's too bad that band will probably never do a tour
peace

rock.

I feel that Paul Gilbert is a better guitarist overall.. he's more versatile. And we won't really know for sure if his technique is as good as Vai because Paul likes to play songs that make everyone tap their feet and bob their heads... while Vai's music is always more for a certain niche audience...

We should make a poll on which one has the longest fingers!
