Editor's note

Racer X, the shred band that never slowed down.

A Los Angeles guitar powerhouse built on Paul Gilbert's speed and technical precision.

For the full Racer X experience, start with 'Street Lethal' and 'Second Heat'. That's where the guitar fireworks are loudest.

Racer X mattered because they delivered pure, unapologetic shred when that sound was peaking. Tracks like 'Loud And Clear' and 'Give It To Me' were built entirely around Gilbert's fast, technical guitar work. They even threw a David Bowie cover into the mix on 'Technical Difficulties'.

They formed in 1985 and released 'Street Lethal' the next year. After vocalist Jeff Martin left in 1989, they shifted toward mostly instrumental albums like 'Superheroes' and kept recording into the 2000s.
