Jantha Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just about everyone already named but REO's Gary Ritchrath and his famous chirps. I was uh.. actually going to mention Gary Richrath believe it or not. I didn't want to get funny looks though, hehe. They had a lot of videos on in the early days of MTV when I was a kid.. and I always dug his Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I gotta admit the first time I got atracted to a les paul was when I saw slash playing one in one of the early videos (I think it was sweet child o' mine). Up till then I liked 80s shredding guitars. +1 I was about 9 years old when I first saw that video, I'd been taking keyboard lessons for two years at that point and was learning alot of pop stuff from my teacher. Right when Slash walked in front of the camera at the beginning and I heard that "pop!" from him plugging in I instantly felt like I played a lame instrument, and started harassing my poor parents for a guitar that day.

VBB Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I saw Dickey Betts last playing last weekend. There was a warmup band (used LP's) then another act (Big Walter Smith, band used LP and 335) and everyone in Dickey's band used LP's. Even his kid is playing one, but none sounded as sweet as Dickey's vintage gold top. That guy can get blues sounds out a LP that I can't even come close to. Must be his amp!

bigneil Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 for me, i probably think of Slash. when i was a teenager and really into hard rock, every other guitarst i remember were playing super strats of some description. the way it looked and sounded made it stand out from the croud. Remember the days when it was cool to have long hair and a pointy guitar? tut tut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dred31 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Besides Les Paul lol.... Jimmy Page for me.. Big +1 i remember my dad showing me pictures of JP when i was really little and told him i wanted to be a rock star, and he looked at me and said "this is one of the greatest rock stars ever" and since then the image of JP with his LP is stuck in my head whenever i think of rock star!
