4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection, August 1, 2003

Paul Gilbert is oft tagged as a "guitar hero". Unfortunately, this label seems to conjure visions of an overly serious musician more concerned with phrygian dominant scales and sweep arpeggios than making music. Paul Gilbert definitely can run scales and sweeps with the best of them but he injects a welcome sense of humor into his projects. While Racer X was pretty much straight-ahead metal, his solo career has seen him combine other elements. This collection pulls a pretty wide spectrum of his talents from his solo releases. There are songs that emphasize his songwriter side more, but tunes like "Down to Mexico" showcase his guitar playing talent in a fun song. The bonus disc, known as "Gilbert Hotel", is all acoustic. Paul's abilities as a songwriter and performer are well showcased on the bonus disc, with an amazing cover of Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down" while his own "Older Guy" is simply hilarious.

This review is from: Paul the Young Dude (Audio CD)

I too ordered this thinking it was two discs. I even wrote AMAZON customer service asking them to confirm it was TWO CDs! They told me it was TWO CDs. I bought it and only ONE arrived. I'm returning this and I have already ordered a different version that has a sticker saying "BONUS CD INCLUDED!"

Put this Item # B00016B9F8 into your Amazon.com search to find it. It cost less too! It just better be the right one or I will rip Amazon sellers on that one too. If I post a positive review there, you'll KNOW it has TWO DISCS!

So, just to be clear: this review is 1 star because someone cannot get their facts straight. It is NOT AT ALL reflective of the songs or material included!

The songs are a "best of" and the songs that I'd heard before buying this are indeed great songs. I have heard all of the other songs and they're great too (Especially "Superloud"!)

PG is simply amazing. Just be sure what you're ordering and that you're getting what you wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Actually Hotel, October 14, 2008

Read the editorial review, it is for Hotel the bonus disc to Paul The Young Dude only, and the reason I know is because I have gotten two of these and only got Hotel for both orders (a very good CD great music) but Paul The Young Dude does not come with it. This is not a box set at all. And what is funny is if you try to get Hotel it is not in stock. Amazon did refund me by changing what they charged me to the price of the Hotel CD for both CD's.
