Information About

Racer X




Racer X is a U.S. Heavy Metal Band formed in 1984 in Los Angeles, California. The name is both a reference to a character in Speed Racer , and the speed that was an integral part of their music. Virtuosic, neoclassical guitar playing was the main focus of their style. The group was founded by Guitarist Paul Gilbert , who later went on to achieve great success with the multiplatinum-selling hard rock band, Mr Big. Gilbert continues to perform with Racer X from time to time.
