Damn, a bad day for music and more specifically the crafting of music. The first guitar I bought (with my own money that is, my very first guitar was a battered hand-me-down from a neighbour) was an Les Paul Standard. |

I didn't know much about him until after the news broke of his death, the guy was an artist in his profession so Rest in peace, you've inspired many. |

Someone in class today, got up and made a little speech about him. This guy felt pretty strongly about Les Paul. He said, in his opinion, that he was one of the most influential people that ever lived in the last century. I haven't verified this for myself but he also said that Les Paul pretty much invented multi-track recording so he basically allowed for British Rock and that entire movement spawning some of the greatest bands of all time to come to fruition. Without the innovation that he brought to music, bands such as Pink Floyd or Led Zepplin may not have existed. What's sad is that this will not even be a blip on the news when compared to the coverage that Michael Jackson has gotten... hell, if it wasn't for Les Paul, MJ wouldn't have done the things he did, either. *looks at article* Yeah, this is what he was talking about: "He also conceived, with the help of the new reel-to-reel tape recorder, the trick effects of "sound-on-sound" (overdubbing), slapback echo and speed-changing, which he would deploy in his duets with..." Pretty crazy. |

A famous guitar legend who was rich, and died very old. I think he had the very best life. |

^indeed. what's kinda strange is that even though I work at a music store, I heard nothing about it and so didnt discover it until I read the newspaper on my way home. but yeah, he will be remembered, "rest" in peace etc. |
