Paul Brandon Gilbert (born November 6, 1966) is an American hard rock and heavy metal guitarist. He is the co-founder of the band Mr. Big, and was also a member of Racer X, with whom he released several albums. In 1996, Gilbert launched a solo career, for which he has released numerous solo albums, and featured in numerous collaborations and guest appearances on other musicians' albums.
Gilbert was voted fourth-best on GuitarOne magazine's 2007 "Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time". He was also ranked in Guitar World's 2008 list, "50 Fastest Guitarists of All Time".

A tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio, the album consists of instrumental covers of various Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio songs.
The Dio Album features 12 covers of some of the late legend Ronnie James Dio's most iconic works with a certain twist: Gilbert has replaced the would-be vocals with verbatim lead guitar parts.
Credit where it’s due for the technical and no-doubt painstaking precision, but lacking the guiding nuance of a voice, classics like Neon Knights and Starstruck are reduced to jarring, overplayed jumbles.
By track two’s annihilation of Kill The King, any novelty has ejected itself from the solar system. This labour of love sadly misses the mark.
