Although best known for his work with Mr. Big and Racer X, Gilbert has toured with Joe Satriani’s G3 and has influenced a genration of would-be shredders.  When 18 he was hired to teach at Hollywood’s Guitar Institute of Technology.

‘I Can Destroy’ is Gilbert’s 18th solo album produced by Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Europe).
