RACER X - Gone Too Far | SIMON HOSFORD

Описание: Performed by RACER AXE, recorded live in 2014, for the tv show "Guitar Gods And Masterpieces".

This is our tribute to the incredible Racer X, a band of awe inspiring technical ability and musicianship far beyond the youth of the band (Paul Gilbert formed Racer X in LA in 1985 when he was just 19!), and the band in it’s original incarnation only existed for a mere 3 years, in which time they recorded 2 albums and 2 live records.

That it has taken us this many years to even contemplate putting a tribute band together, to pay respect, to challenge ourselves, and of course - for fun, is testament to just how amazing these young men were, in the height of guitar based rock in the 80’s!

That the music is just so much fun to play is also a testament to their great writing abilities, and the sense of playfulness that they had. It’s really the most fun we could have with our clothes on lol
The years of listening to their music and sense of adventure on cassette in a Walkman, absorbing every nuance and dreaming of what a live show would be like (that we would sadly never see) has left us itching to experience it some other way…

So we do this with the utmost love and respect for Paul Gilbert, Bruce Bouillet, Jeff Martin, Scott Travis, Juan Alderete, and Harry Gschoesser, each one of them unique in all the world. No one will ever do it better than them…. but we have an absolute ball even attempting to play their music!

Respectfully,
Simon Hosford (Guitar)
James Ryan (Guitar)
Rod Bustos (Bass)
Rob Brens (Drums)
Chris Stark (Vocals)
