Customer Reviews:

Another smash CD from Paul!.......2007-01-04

Again, every tune on this CD is absolutely amazing. This guy is for real, and in addition to being a wizard of the fretboard, he just writes damn good material. Heavy Disco Trip is awesome, and I play that riff on my axe several times a week! Get It and Be My wife are excellent compositions, and Gilberto Concerto is incredible! A must have for any serious guitarist, or anyone who loves high energy rock with incredible guitar work.

Paul's CD FLying Dog rocks!!!.......2005-03-07

Paul Gilbert proves he can do alot more than shred and I am so impressed with this CD! I owned cassette tape versions of earlier Racer X material and I love these as well. It must be a natural progression - and a bit of an epiphany for the artist -
to rather re-invent and forge forward. Paul's solo work is getting better and better!
There are so many tunes I like on this CD!

Save this record for a rainy day!!!.......2003-03-03

A fun record. Ideal for rainy days, depression phases or just bad days. But is equally good for sunny days or good moments!
I bought this record without hesitation, because I love Paul's playing and twisted sense of humor. If you like Paul in both senses, like me, this is definitely your record.
I also have "Beehive live", which is a terrific album to listen to (and I don't like live albums, for start!), and a good place to sink your teeth into. Precisely they were presenting the album I am writing about, "Flying dog"
The cover is hilarious, when I listen to this, I grab the cover and wonder where they could find that weird-looking dog.I laugh a lot at this photo while enjoying the album (by the way,NO LYRICS INCLUDED in a very poor libretto, at least the european version.The one and only weak point >:(
Cheap Trick fans will be so pleased with this stuff:bubble-gum type of rock with catchy melodies and a superb guitar work.Paul, unlike most of 6-string heroes, have some taste for experimenting and exploring new territories.This is not "a-bunch-of-solos-with-1000-notes-per-minute-on-them" CD.In terms of speed he would blow up every Malmsteen clone on Earth, but he'd rather use his guitar for helping the song.For building a good foundation in it.
Cheap Trick made it, they sounded definetely hard rock but they also have some pop appeal.Paul sounds, in a way, like them.
He can actually sing very well, using a bluesy tone sometimes.That gives a lot of colour to his music;the rest of the palette is completed with Paul's (ans some fine studio musicians) playing.
If you can listen to "Get it","Be my wife" or "Heavy disco trip" without moving your feet or singing along the chorus, you deserve to be a zombie Britney/Limp Bizkit/Eminem fan for the rest of your life. There is enough of them everywhere, give a chance to not-so-well-known artists like Paul,please!You will never regret it!
Well, so you want to listen to melodical/ballad-ish stuff...don't worry about it! LIsten carefully to "Kate is a star" or "Wrong man". The former is a fantastic ballad, played with feeling and punch.The backing vocals are so beautiful that you will be listening to this song again and again.For me, is a sort of new favorite. The latter is a bittersweet song about a woman who has choose badly his man; a dramatic change of mood after one "happy" song after another!
If you want to know what's my favorite song, it's "Girl crazy", with a chorus to kill for.It reminds me a bit of AOR bands like Journey or so.
Finally, if you are longing for guitar-solo stuff,don't worry either!The last track, with its tongue-in-cheek title says it all:you will find a really complex guitar work, in fact an "electrified" Bach composition.Are you all satisfied?Can you ask for more in one single CD?
In conclusion:Buy this and save it for rainy days.Sun will shine again on your room.Enjoy!

No holding back........2002-09-18

Paul is truly one of the great guitarists. Even when he writes a more commercial song he has trouble holding back his incredibale riffs. You can really here his Hendrix style roots on a lot of his solo's. I have had the pleasure of playing guitar with him at GIT when I was in school and he was an instructor. He really is as good as this disc proves. I wish more radio stations would pick up on his music. This disc is more mainstream than some of his heavier work and definately worthy of air play. Get it, Tell the truth, and Heavy disco trip all have incredible guitar lines. Both his rythem playing and solo's. Keep it up Paul. We're listening, promoting and buying.

awesome.......2002-07-15

Before paul arrive in peking,I already know that he is a awesome guitarist and good guitar teacher.{ one of my friend is his student} ALL the time i believe his guitar solo never let his fans down. AS my expected, this album still is good.You must get this album.
