    I was just listening to my Dallas 2003 boot the other day and Eddie had us all raise a glass to Les Paul who turned 88 that day.

    The impact he had on music cannot be overstated.

    Are you freaking kidding me??????

    Awww man this sucks. :(

    The pride of Waukesha, Wisconsin may he rest in peace. Such a sad day.
  • patrickredeyespatrickredeyes Posts: 8,834
    This thread needs a sticky if just for one day only please.

    Every band including PJ should take a moment of silence and remember what Les did for the entire music world.

    Very shocked to hear the news of his passing.

    He was truly a god and the world is a much more rockin place because of his genus

    Sad. A true legend! Inventor of the solid body guitar and four track recorder, to name a couple.

    I was lucky enough to see him perform this time last year in NYC. He played the Iridium Jazz Club practically every Monday night.

    I saw Les Paul perform several times and met him a few times, too. A truly gracious and wonderful man and a true pioneer of electric guitar and recording technique. He always took time to speak to fans after shows and acted like like a regular guy with no pretense at all. A real gentleman.
    Today is a sad day for music.

    this fucking sucks

    his impact on music, especially rock, cannot be overstated

    RIP LP
  • reflectedfromafarreflectedfromafar Posts: 235
    I went to see him in the early 90's in New York when he was playing in the cellar at Fat Tuesday's. Fantastic. And being a gracious and nice man, he spent time with every and any one who wanted to speak to him or get autographs after the show.

    This truly is a sad day, and not just in music history.

    Say hello to Mary for us, Les.
    There's a lot to be said for nowhere...
