Members onelife 3,422 Posted June 23, 2017 Members Share Posted June 23, 2017 I love the fat clean tone of Les' guitar as Joe experiences a 'dream come true' [video=youtube;AU39FDWn4W8] 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members badpenguin 753 Posted June 23, 2017 Members Share Posted June 23, 2017 The magic of Les's low impedance pickups, and Joe's fingers.... nice combination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Grant Harding 919 Posted June 24, 2017 Members Share Posted June 24, 2017 That's awesome! What a daunting proposition back then. Amazing that Joe could even function with that much booze in him back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members AJ6stringsting 897 Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 Joe is clean and sober now. I met him three times, twice at the Rainbow bar and Grill and once in Fresno at Drug / Alcohol program my friend was running. My friend invited me, so I could meet him. Joe is an interesting man to talk to and a very intelligent person to converse with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members AJ6stringsting 897 Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 Les Paul is the Nicolai Tesla of music, his guitars, innovations in recording, guitars and playing makes him an icon that lives on today !!!! 👍 I'm glad my Mom gave me his records with Mary Ford.😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members badpenguin 753 Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 I met him once back in the early 90's. "Clean and sober" wasn't in his vocabulary back then! but the boy could still play, even when he couldn't stand upright! And yes AJ, What we have today guitar-wise, most of the credit goes to Les and Leo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Grant Harding 919 Posted June 26, 2017 Members Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yeah - he's one of my heroes and so glad he cleaned up! It's amazing how functional he was with it. He's another one of my heroes. Definitely my favourite member of The Eagles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
