Today on Let There Be Talk I’ve got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert.

You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world “To Be With You,” but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late ’80s and ’90s.

Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he’s pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that’s kept him evolving for decades.

We dive deep into:

• The making of WROC

• His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired

• Life in Mr. Big and Racer X

Paul’s not just a shred legend — he’s one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock ’n’ roll.

Turn it up.
This is Let There Be Talk. 

Thank You

Ep 833 Let There Be Talk – Today’s Episode
On today’s ride, I’m diving into three wildly different but equally killer topics:

• SADE — the mystery, the magic, and the timeless cool
A look at why Sade remains one of the most iconic and elusive musicians on the planet.

• BLACK SABBATH’S “UNKNOWN” SINGER
We have Ozzy, Dio, Ian Gillan and even Tony Martin but what about Dave Walker.

We dig into the deep-cut history of Sabbath’s early vocal experiments and the singer most fans have never heard about.

• DOOR DINGS ON CARS
A rant for the ages. Why can’t people park like civilized humans? Why must every beautiful car suffer? Let’s talk parking-lot etiquette and the psychology of the door-ding offender.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I talk about catching the Queens of the Stone Age Catacombs Tour—1 of the best shows I have even seen hands down, 

I also get into something pretty interesting that popped up this week: Walter Payton’s Porsche is for sale on Bring A Trailer. It’s a rare piece of sports and automotive history that I cant wait to see what it ends up selling for.

And finally, I touch on the ongoing challenge of fake news—how it spreads, how easy it is to get pulled into it, and why it feels harder than ever to sort out what’s real.

That’s all coming up today on EP 831.

"Welcome to another episode of Let There Be Talk. Today I’m diving deep into a few subjects that hit me hard this week — starting with one of the greatest films ever made, Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. We’ll get into the grit, the genius, and the madness of Travis Bickle, and how that movie still punches you in the gut almost 50 years later. After all these years what do you think happened to Travis.

Then I’m switching gears into the world of metal — breaking down Metallica’s “Disposable Heroes”, Is this their greatest song?

And finally, I want to talk about the loss of D’Angelo, an artist who changed the game with soul, honesty, and groove. Brown Sugar is hands down one of the best records of the 90's

Today I sit down with one of my favorite singers of all time Mr Marc Storace of Krokus.

In the 80's Krokus had the reputation of being one of the best live Rock n Roll bands to see live.

Krokus had that no nonsense rock sound that was very much in the vein of AC/DC.

Marc and I sit down and talk all about his long incredible career including the writing and recording of the Krokus masterpiece Headhunter.

Marc recently rereleased his solo record Live and Let Live that original came out during the pandemic and it is available on all the streaming platforms.
