Guitar, Studio Wizard Les Paul Dies At 94

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the he-will-be-missed dept.

beeshman noted that Les Paul has died. Paul was quite the hardware hacker of his day, innovating with guitar hardware, and later multi track recording. The Gibson Les Paul is one of the single most iconic instruments associated with Rock 'n Roll, and was of course played by Pete Townshend. Someday I'm going to get me one.

    What kind of a miserable cocksucker do you have to be to mod this "redundant?" People are sharing condolences and grieving over the loss of a colossal artist, and you have to use your dick points to mod someone down who's paying tribute to someone *in a thread about their death*? I bet you'd just be jacking off all over your monitor if this story was about the maintainer of your favorite Linux distribution dying, wouldn't you?

    Stupid fuck.
