RIP Les.
Now I'm depressed. I was talking to a friend about him and Chet Atkins on Sunday. Was mentioning that he was still out there playing.Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.Comment

This man deserves a memorial on the scale of Live Aid. I don't care if you play country, jazz, metal, blues, there's not a single guitarist on the planet that wasn't in some what touched by Les Paul. Like his music or not, the things he innovated a rings in just about every single music that exists.
Just wish someone had the foresight to give the man a signature guitar
Seriously I will be personally be putting on some Les Paul when I get home from work tonight, if I drank I'd drink a toast to the man.In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on NyquilComment

Sad thing is, he won't get 1/2 the notice that Michael Jackson did...Originally posted by eakinj View PostThis man deserves a memorial on the scale of Live Aid.

RIP Les. I feel like a real idiot for never heading up the Iridium to see him play. Too huge to the instrument & to music to even bother trying to fit it in a post.Comment

This is truely a big blow to the music industry. Les Paul was a real innovator, and he probably won't even get as much publicity as Farrah did, and that's just sad..

I got to see him play. he was great. Hilarious story to that evening too. i went to Fat Tuesday's in New York City to see him play. He played in the basement of the place, and it only held about 28 people or so, very exclusive my friend seth and i were at the racetrack all day. We were shithoused. We stormed into the city, got in line early and made it into the private room. When i say we were shithoused , i mean it. Les Paul and his trio come out, play How High the Moon to open, everyone goes crazy after it. I'm seeing triple at this point and keeping my eyes on the Les in the middle, and it looks like he's looking at me when he says "hey everyone , we've got some famous people in the crowd tonight, maybe we can get them up here for a number"
Everyone starts to cheer, and I stand up in a drunken mess and say "No way but thanks for the offer" Les Paul then said, 'well, thanks, but i was actually talking to Billy" I look to my left and see that i am sitting 4.5 inches away from Billy Gibbons-lol
How the hell do you not notice that??? Not to mention that I'm not famous either.
everyone was cracking up, and then Billy Gibbons said the same thing-"No way am I getting up on that stage with you, but thank you." Les Paul's trio was really that good and intimidating. Did i mention I was shithoused-lol
thankyou Les, now you can see your wife mary again.Not helping the situation since 1965!Comment
