Kudos Jenn at http://metalichicka.wordpress.com/ for spotting this one.

Paul Gilbert says:

Well, of course. I mean, again I can’t help myself. I always step back from my daily work and music and realize that I can be easily working at Burger King. And so for me just being in the business at all is stunning good luck and certainly to be mentioned with other great players is a huge honor.

But, as far as “Scarified,” it’s funny ‘cause the original studio recording was really all right but I was kinda unsatisfied with it ‘cause I didn’t think it was clean enough. I listened to a lot of Yngwie at that time and to me Yngwie was just the king of really, really spot-on, accurate playing. And I thought “Scarified” came out a little bit sloppier then what my standard was. So whenever I listen to it, it’s got a good vibe and it rocks, but I wished I’d had time to hook up more takes and clean it up a little bit.
