And the artists on the album weren't neccesarily influenced by Les Paul himself, but were big advocates of the Les Paul guitar (Neal Schon, Richie Sambora). And the critique of Schon playing over BETH Heart (Not Mary)..... it's a freakin' record dedicated to Les Paul, the inventor of the GUITAR, hence intense guitar-work on the album. I'd say your review was alright but you seem to have an extra special fondness for my man Les Paul, and just get it out there, he didn't 'invent' the electric guitar, but no doubt helped influence it's use and production. Anyway, my two cents, late. BB 457497@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 Oct 2006 23:21:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/09/27/124038.php#comment-264812 Nice job on the review. I bought the album last night and have been listening to it over and over. The only songs I don't care for are Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo and I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know. RARHC only because it is missing the killer lick that really made that song. You know the one. ILYMTYEK is just too slow. Caravan is awesome! 264812@blogcritics.org Tue, 1 Nov 2005 09:38:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/09/27/124038.php#comment-243571 It certainly wouldn't surprise me at all. Still, his single-note work is pretty cool. Slower, but pretty cool. 243571@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 Sep 2005 16:04:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/09/27/124038.php#comment-243565 I read that he's no longer able to play chords because, I think, of arthritis. I suspect this has something to do with the modesty of his presentation. 243565@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 Sep 2005 15:59:32 EDT
