Racer X
by Steve Huey
This Los Angeles band earned a reputation for melodic, technical, incredibly high-speed rock. Their original lineup featured Paul Gilbert (guitar), Jeff Martin (vocals), John Alderete (bass), and Harry Gschösser (drums). Scott Travis replaced Gschösser in 1986, when Bruce Bouillet was added as a second guitarist, beginning a period considered to be the bands best. Gilbert left in 1988 to join Mr. Big, and the band broke up soon afterwards, with Bouillet pursuing a solo career. Martin later joined Badlands as a drummer.
