Aθάνατος.

Υπάρχουν κιθάρες και Les Paul. Σόρυ παίδες, αν θες να παίξεις ροκ μία είναι η κιθάρα.

Μεγάλος παίχτης. RIP.

RIP man.

RIP στον τεραστιο…!!

R.I.P. :slight_smile:

R.I.P. Οτι και να πουμε δεν ειναι αρκετο

Μένει στην ιστορία περισσότερο για την κιθάρα με το ονομα του, που παίζεται/λατρεύεται και από ανθρώπους που δεν τον άκουσαν ποτέ να παίζει.
Πέρα από την συνεισφορά του στον σχεδιασμό μίας διαχρονικής κιθάρας όμως, ο Les Paul υπήρξε μουσικός με όλη τη σημασία της λέξης, κάποιος που γούσταρε να παίζει.
Μέχρι και στους τελευταίους μήνες της ζωής του συνέχιζε να παίζει ένα βράδυ την εβδομάδα στο jazz club Iridium της Νέας Υόρκης και συχνά τζάμαρε με περισσότερο ή λιγότερο γνωστούς καλεσμένους.

RIP

τεραστιος

θρυλος

Το πέτυχα τη νύχτα στο CNN.
Υπάρχουν κενά που δεν αναπληρώνονται, προσφορές που δεν εκτιμώνται και μύθοι που δεν αγγίζονται…
RIP…

Ημέρα θρήνου για την μουσική που αγαπαμε…R.I.P.:frowning:

Aθάνατος

Παιδιά μεγάλη ιστορική μορφή αυτός μας έκανε ΡΟΚΑΔΕΣ…
Γιατί χωρίς ηλεκτρική κιθάρα θα ακούγαμε Πλούταρχο και Βανδή…

Ο θάνατος του δημιουργού της ηλεκτρικής κιθάρας νομίζω πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστεί με τον δέοντα σεβασμό. Έστω και καθυστερημένα, χαιρετώ τον μέγιστο πρωτοπόρο στην ιστορία της rock -για πρώτη και τελευταία φορά.

Rest in peace.

Tributes have poured in for Les Paul, the inventor of iconic Gibson guitar, who died yesterday.

Slash, Velvet Revolver
“Les Paul was a shining example of how full one’s life can be, he was so vibrant & full of positive energy. I’m honoured and humbled to have known and played with him over the years, he was an exceptionally brilliant man.”

Joe Perry, Aerosmith
?As a guitarist and a fan of music in general, I know the amazing contributions Les Paul made in his lifetime to the art of making music. I think if the general public knew how much of that influence is heard every day in the music that they listen to, they would be amazed. He was a true genius. The few times that I had met him, he made me feel like I had known him forever. He was always sharp, ready to rock and he was always talking about his next gig. Knowing that he is not walking the earth anymore is sad and I have lost a friend. But every time I pick up a guitar I?ll know that his spirit is alive and well right next to me.?

Tom DeLonge, Blink 182/Angels And Airwaves
"A true musical pioneer whose inventions and innovations have influenced every facet, genre, and spectrum of the industry. The world may have lost an icon, but his name and legacy will live on forever. Thanks Les.?

Neal Schon, Journey
?I was deeply sorrowed this morning by the new that my dear friend Les Paul had passed. Not only was he THE inventor of the electric guitar but the master of the guitar . I will always cherish the times I spent with Les playing and hanging. Truly one of the funniest best human beings I have ever met. He will be deeply missed but not forgotten. R.I.P. Les, see you in the next one.?

Ace Frehley, former Kiss guitarist
?The music industry has lost a giant! I’m very saddened by the news of Les Paul’s passing. I was lucky enough to have known Les as a friend, and admired him as a musician and innovator. He forever changed the way we listen to music.?

Nikki Sixx, Motley Crue
?Les Paul was a man way ahead of his time, a true inventor and truly honest artist that has touched all of our lives in one way or another. My heart goes out to his family and friends.?

Scott Stapp, Creed
“My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Les Paul who passed today. A legend in music who’s impact will forever be heard. Every Gibson Les Paul will pay tribute every time it’s played.”

Billy Gibbons, ZZ Top
?Les Paul brought six strings to electricity and electricity to six strings. Les Paul was an innovator, a groundbreaker, a risk taker, a mentor and a friend. Try to imagine what we’d be doing if hadn’t come along and changed the world. There will always be more Les to come. That’s certified.?

Dave Navarro, Jane?s Addiction
?Les is single-handedly responsible for the direction and evolution of the modern rock movement. Period. If you are a fan of modern music, you owe Les Paul an enormous THANK YOU!?

Today we lost a giant in the world of music and recording. Although we have lost way too many heroes/icons in recent months I am compelled to speak out in honor of Les Paul whom I knew (a little), played with once, and obviously respected and revered.

Les was the Jimi Hendrix of his time and although his heyday was way before my time, as a student of music, I would learn a lot about his monumental contributions as a guitarist and as an innovator of multi-track recording. Like Hendrix he changed the world for every guitarist who came after him whether they knew it or not.

Being a guitarist known mostly for playing “Les Paul” guitars I was approached several years ago by my friends at Gibson Guitars about helping to design and launch a Signature Les Paul guitar. My initial response was “I’m not Les Paul. There’s nothing different or special about my guitars that I can take credit for-all the credit goes to him.” It took years for me to finally feel that I (along with Brian Farmer, John Cutler, and Peter Miller) had come up with a unique design worthy of taking some credit for.

After hearing of Les’ passing I feel even more honored to be considered/asked to help carry on the tradition of the Les Paul guitar. I am even more honored to have known him. He was truly a giant. - Sincerely, Warren Haynes
