Anonymous Coward User ID: 44073295 United States 09/21/2013 12:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why isnt he more famous. Well the answer is easy. He does not produce pop music or even popular rock music. The bands he were in did not make it big time, and he emerged too late from an era of the guitar crazed 1980s which ended when Nirvana came along and hit the reset switch. Gilbert is a guitarist's guitarist. He satisfies crowds of wannabe up and coming young guitarists, with his memorizing fast shredding. Im not saying he hasnt tried to make more mainstream music with his guitar playing, but he has never made the successful record deal and contract with a big time rock band. eh well. |

He's destined to go the way of Tony MacAlpine. If you want mad skills and songwriting in an underappreciated shredder, check out Greg Howe. Glad to see there's others that still listen to this stuff!
