Cool clip....Thanks for posting it...

Kind of unrelated, but the same guy in this clip made a cool video on Ed's wet/dry/wet tone not too long ago and is worth checking out...

The tone he gets is amazing...

Unlike Gene at times, I find that Paul comes off really well in interviews.

Agree with what Blind said. He's seems so candid and frank in interviews, which is a bit surprising in that he threw everyone under the bus in his book.
Expected him to equivocate on pandering to the shred era, but he completley cops to it. Mark St. John was obviously a reaction to that phenomenon.
