Gods Of Metal 2011 - Milan - John Norum solo (Paul Gilbert is watching him)

The great John Norum playing a solo while Paul gilbert is watching him!
I think that's the way a Les Paul has to be played! :)

[@44SuperShredder]

Paul has the utmost respect for a legend such as Norum

[@am3986]

He told you so?

[@44SuperShredder]

@@am3986 Yes with his eyes

[@batphink2655]

Paul is not just a genius but a class act you could see he was enjoying it!

[@georgealberto1985]

I've got to say that Paul is a monster, but John is just FUCKING AMAZING!! He's playing with heart and soul!!

[@jerem-dm2mg]

and without eyes

[@christophercovington9123]

WOW... what I like about him... His playing is soulful. There are plenty of guitarists out there that can play like greased lightning... but it's not just the speed, it's the tasteful notes that count and pouring yourself into it. Dude has the magic.

[@user-lx3dn9bt9e]

@Kevin James ok, Gary Moore has left the fucking chat...

[@takaorobinson8719]

Well said.

[@stevehawthorn8733]

The solos he recorded and performed on Don Dokken's Up from the ashes album and live shows are amazing, look for them on here, also obviously Billy White's too

[@Heineken1712]

Hell yeah. The overall production of that album is so good and on top of that these insanely cool solos with a tone that we will probably chase for our whole lives and never achieve.

[@kevinbuchanan67]

That's probably my favorite guitar album, so much good playing on there

[@heyjorn2461]

I listen Jimi ,Gilmour and all great ones but this guy is not so famous but mann he have so great feeling he combines melody blues and shred i just listen him for 2 hours tracks from europe and solo albums I'm so blown away he is so unbelievable good my guitar hero number one because of him i started getting into guitar world and music

[@ThePhrygiandom]

Simply an inspiring vibrato, incredible.

[@Shreddah]

Paul Gilbert approves.

[@charlieligalig7809]

His vibrato is insane

[@roninnotasheeplikeyou.2631]

Fast. Fluid & soulful. John is very unique.

[@JustHaroon56]

Love how Paul Gilbert is loving it. That smile 🤘🏻😃

[@BrotherCane]

Paul likes John Norum's playing. That's enough for me. I always knew I wasn't wrong for more than 25 years now. John Norum of Europe, Reb Beach of Winger, Doug Aldrich of Hurricane, Andy Timmons of Danger Danger, Al Pitrelli, Gary Hoey, Alex Skolnick, Marc Diglio, Pete Lesperance, Sid Fletcher, Joey Allen, ...

Exactly. Paul is a guitar maniac and astonishing artist BUT he will never play these notes from deep within the heart and soul like John. (and I'm a big fan of Gilbert!) :)

[@Icedsymphony7]

@@aimfuldrifter you have not heard his solo material and mr big stuff you need to pay attention

[@chrisvasquez2582]

The beautiful tone from the hands!

[@set2light]

A stunning piece of music from a truly great guitar player. The music has a dark but gigantic scope and grandeur about it, like a bellowing cry from the unknown realm of the noumenon. The fact that it stands as a great piece of music independently of the soloing shows it's greatness. God bless John Norum. You are special. The god's must love you like we do on earth.

[@Robinott93]

Kee Marcello :)

[@1jummen]

Thats not Yngwie Malmsteen

[@Tonicwine999]

I think that both John and Paul clearly have feeling. I don't see how one has and one doesn't, I'd say that they both have different styles and different ways of expressing their feelings.

[@l.g.d398]

Simply the best vibrato of all times.

You are completely right!

Gary Moore.

Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy also the undisputed "Wah Master' John was channeling him a little here and John is an amazing player in his own right. Nothing wrong with showing your musical influences a bit. 😉

from who?

[@mara1820]

Really? I had no idea.

[@harleyrider76]

@@filippo_random_phil I think he means Kee Marcello who played in Europe. I'm not a fan of Europe and will never be, but I'd pick Norum before Marcello anyday of the week, easily.

[@user-qd4pj9kt5n]

他被低估，因為Europe 創作了好聽的：The final countdown. He was underrated because Europe write good listening song "the final countdown ". If they make strange and not logical music, sound bad, they will be highly rated.

In the music videos of carrie, rock the night and open your heart, kee marcello appeared as their lead, where actually norum played those solos... He left Europe, when the band was at it's peak...

To all who think the gut has problem with speedpicking, that's totally untrue. He has always armpicked, even during the 80s, that's what's called style. Norum is well known and respected for that and for his vibrato. Check out his huge and diverse solo work.

[@janubis5630]

you can tell who he got inspired from.... Rip Gary Moore

Norum and I are kinda alike, both of us are having a hard time speedpicking but can play fast with the left hand.

[@harleyrider76]

I can hear some Robin Trower and Gary Moore in this one

[@ParagonGarage]

The solos in the Europe songs rocked but this was 🥱

[@kuwarikutti]

me too!

[@martinsmith8167]

i must say norum sounds a lot like gary moore but dont get me wrong this is an compliment.in a positive way

[@EiElBiAi]

Mr. Norum is not as clean or "technical" as he used to be in the 80s, but he became quite more soulful and bluesy after Europe reunion. I like it :) (well, when it comes to play a Kee Marcello's solo the results may vary...)

[@anisamalik7842]

Kee Marcello is shite when compared to Norrum

[@Tonicwine999]

I think that Paul has just as much feeling as John does. I respect your opinion tho.

[@max7even284]

@@aimfuldrifter he's just good technically that's it. Couldn't produce feel if his life depended on it...yea he plays blues now...but I still feel I'm listening to a robot shredder who's trying to play the blues. something is just off .

[@aimfuldrifter]

Max Seven But to claim that he's never played emotionally is a massive understatement. I love both of them as a guitar player myself. John have tried to play even more technically in his younger years (tapping, arpeggios and that string skipping lick) but never was on Paul's level. Paul on the other hand never had that sweet tone but his vibrato is also quite perfect.

[@max7even284]

@@aimfuldrifter he could out shred Paul any day of the week and twice on Sundays , in the late 80's that is. Paul was always a robot.

[@aimfuldrifter]

Max Seven Nah. Paul was already already a monster in the 80s and in Racer X. I'm a fan of both so I think objectively.
