I think most everyones hears of Racer X.

In fact, I played the classic Paul Gilbert track 'Frenzy' (from their album Street Lethal) at a talent show once. Good times.

And no, they're not related to Planet X in any way that I know of. Although, both of them have fantastic guitar players.. Racer X has Gilbert, and Planet X has Macalpine.

Sorry about the double-post. There's an unlucky number involved.

YeeeeeAHH!!!! RACER-X! THE BADDEST!
If you haven't heard these cats you're certainly missing something. If you dig your 'chops, then I'm certain you'd love this stuff'

My Webmaster is very tight w/these way-out cats, does their website & we do everything we can to show our respect & support. Their talent runs far-n-wide; Scott Travis is Judas Priest's drummer, Jeff Martin (VOX) has played drums for many bands including; Badlands, MSG, UFO, and lots more.

You might dig this- my band's done a cover of a RACER-X tune for a record company release.

I've been in a biased musical shell for a long time; so many decent musicians I'm discovering in my little adventure.

I'm not sure, but are you refering to THE ALBUM "Technical Difficulties"??

RACER-X of course, has 'reformed' the old group. All these cats play in their 'real' gigs (such as Scott Travis w/Judas Priest, etc.) and RACER-X is essentially a side-gig they keep going.

Bruce IS and WAS an awesome guitarist/musician. He hasn't played with the X-MEN since they first disbanded back in the day. All the latest releases; "Technical Difficulties", "Super Heroes", "Snowball of Doom - Live at the Whisky", and "Getting Heavier" have been recorded and performed without Bruce (Although Bruce did mix the "super Heroes" album).

Bruce had a band called "The Scream" with RACER-X bassist John Alderete (after the original RACER-X). The latest I've heard is that he's recording & gigin' w/his new thing "EPIDEMIC". Not the Shred-o-Terror "X-fans" are used to, but still super quality 'chops!

Do you really need all those "Z"s? Lay off on the unnecessary consonants, Snoop Dogg.
