Gario Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Wow, that's intense. He was a pretty big figure in music - it seems like more and more influential figures seems to be passing away, nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 He was a pretty big figure in music - it seems like more and more influential figures seems to be passing away, nowadays. Ditto. R.I.P man... A true legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Hunter Dan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was just thinking late last week about "how long he's been alive".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I've had my Les Paul for about ten years now. It's hard to believe that he's gone, as well as how quickly time has passed. He's playing with all the greats-now-gone as well. Shreddin' in heaven... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHands Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I had the chance to see him a few months ago. I really wish I'd taken that chance. Rest in Peace, Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Wow, that's intense. He was a pretty big figure in music - it seems like more and more influential figures seems to be passing away, nowadays. That's because we only judge a music icon by how long they've been around. I don't mean that rudely, thats just why. They're gettin' older, and many do not take care of themselves the way their sallaries should. None of above comment is meant to apply to Les Paul, btw, I'm just directing it to your sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hale-Bopp Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The electric guitar. The multi-track recorder. Electronic echo. A true legend has passed. Les, a fellow redheaded rocker, was born in my home town of Waukesha, Wisconsin. He was my hero growing up. Can't wait to get home and do a little strumming on my own Les Paul in honor of the man himself. RIP, Wizard of Waukesha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 It took me a second, but I get what your saying, Meteo. I'd say he took damn good care of himself, considering he lived 20 years above the average life expectancy of a male. MJ, though - probably not so much, sadly.

I'd say he took damn good care of himself, considering he lived 20 years above the average life expectancy of a male. Oh yeah, 95 is a damn good age to live too. I'm just applying it generally. It is sad to see them go, but I wish we had more of an "out with the old, in with the new" philosophy to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
