Wow, now I wish I could see them live.
cool Video.

Is it just me..rubs eyes..or are those some thick looking single coils on WillRays Neck Position PU, and on the Siver Sparkle Guitar of the guy in the middle. . I wonder if those are the Vanzandts.

I found some samples here.
On my favorite song of there' it doesn't play my favorite part. Oh well.
There a Axe to Grind sample , and I like those ascending riffs in the Deiter's Lounge sample. Real Players Makes it sound crappy though..
Danger Man is my 2nd favorite of theirs.

With tapes.. one of the many Les Paul inventions: Playback. Used it for harmonies, but he used to have Mary Fords sister singing the vocal harmonies. Still playing one of his voices..

Matter of fact he used to have Mary's sister hidden of backstage and nobody could figure out where the vocal harmonies came form until one night a little girl asked Les straight out "Where's the other lady hiding?"
True story straight from Les himself.

LP (the man, not the guitar) is wise ass! Always joking between and during songs. Seen him a number of times. Once asked a lady (70-80 yrs old) in the audience if she wanted to see his wang bar!

Mac, ever see the BS he pulled off with "Les Pulverizer"?? Another scam. He had people believeing he was doing mutlitracking right in his guitar (It was tracks backstage).
