My guitar hero dies aged 94. Without him rock/metal would not be the same.

RIP Les Paul. :(

Ye, many say he was a rather large cog in the rock 'n' roll machine. A lot of mates bum his guitars and no doubt he's a musical legend.

RIP.

Even more importantly than giving a guitar to the rock and roll world. He also was the first person to experiment with multitrack recordings therefore giving everything to the music industry.

RIP Big Man

Sad day, but leaves a cracking legacy, the man was a genius.

Sad day- he brought us one of the world's greatest guitars, loads of fantastic music and multitrack recording to.

A loss to the world of music.

I can't say I enjoyed his music, but the gibson guitar bearing his name and his design input is an icon of the music I love.

I have a replica, made by Vintage (cheap but still very nice)...I got it just so I could feel, for a moment, I was a gutiarist greater than I'll ever manage to be.

Thanks Les Paul, and RIP.
