Gibson Les Paul History

The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar

1952 marked the beginning of the modern day guitar revolution. It was in this year that Les Paul and Gibson teamed up to create the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have probably experienced this guitar in someway or another. You may have gone to a live a show and seen your favorite musician playing it or you've heard it on your favorite record, this guitar is a staple in the music industry and has been since its creation all those years ago.

The story of the guitar's burth is a little different depending on who you ask. Les Paul is responsible for adding elements to the guitar such as the trapeze-style tailpiece. Les Paul was a very popular Jazz musician at the time. When the guitar was created, Ted McCarty was in charge of Gibson. There are claims that the guitar was completely designed before Gibson ever talked to Les Paul. Gibson did this to get an endorsement for their new guitar from a well known jazz and pop guitar player.

Despite the legendary status the Les Paul has these days, believe it or not, it was rejected when it was first introduced. Les Paul's prototype was called 'The Log' and it was rejected when he submitted it. His thought was to put electronic pickups onto a solid guitar as opposed to the semi-hollow bodies that were popular then. His unique design spurred the industry in a new direction and expanded on the idea of the electric guitar that became wildly popular. Since then, Les Paul's guitar has gained traction with guitarists through the decades to finally rise to icon status.

The rich, storied history of the unique Gibson Les Paul electric guitar still attracts guitar enthusiasts and collectors to this day. The unique tone spectrum of the guitar is used by many studio musicians. Many notable musicians use this guitar still today. Some notable users have been: Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, The Edge, David Grohl, Eric Johnson, Ted Nugent, Keith Richards and many, many more. It has a rich clientele that continues to grow, making this guitar one of the most landmark electric instruments to hit the market.

Aces high! The Iron Maiden merchandising machine

What are the benefits of branded merchandise for your band? Lets look at one of last night’s winners to proove a point.

Iron maiden, The band won ‘best live band’ last night to the delight of headbangers everywhere. (UP THE IRONS!). I went to Maiden’s twickenham gig in June last year, and there were 5 seperate full-sized merchandise stands around and inside the venue which were always packed. one of the music industires dirty secrets: bands dont make money on album sales generally, but on touring and merchandise sales. For bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica who sell thousands of t-shirts at concerts this is a very sweet piece of pie, considering twickenham holds 55,000 people for concerts, and a t-shirt was £20 each, not knowing the sales figures we cant really do the maths -im betting its a HUGE number in the five figure region. But when they were a smaller band in the late 70’s early 80s Merch sales were keeping them on the road until 1983’s ‘number of the beast’ exploded and took them to the next level as a band. Cannibal Corpse’s bloody imagery that is shown on their t-shirts have kept them making a living out of their music and on tour for years.

Promotional merchandise can also help get your bands name out there.

People will buy cool looking merchandise to wear/ display, out in public, which will be seen by other people, and if they also like the design/ logo, they may come to a gig or at least check out your myspace page. The more people are exposed to your logo, the more can become interested and quickly become merch buying fans. Unless your a die hard fan, most people will buy one copy of the album (why would you need anymore?) but 2 or 3 t-shirts to wear out.

Is there anyway to rent and watch movies online?

If I join Netflix, do they rent so I can watch it online?
Legally,too.

Yeah as long as you get an unlimited plan, but they don't have every movie available for instant playback.

Where can i rent(download) online movies w/search b4 i pay?

I would like to use a movie rental service where you download movies and can keep for a period of time. I would also like a search feature i can use before i actually give out my email or credit card so i dont waste time and give out private info just to find they dont even have the movies i'm looking for. Any help, links would be greatly appreciated :) Thankz ~peace~
Thanks for the response but i guess i should have been more specific. I need to know where I can download direct to my hard drive. I had put (download) in the title but i can see how it's confusing. Limewire? I'm not new to the internet and limewire does not have "everything" and especially what i'm looking for. I have allready searched there, torrentz, and numerous ddl sites. And netflix is a mail service lol not downloadable movies..unless they have recently changed. I have had an account with them in the past and there was no download option… I just checked netflix and i couldn't find where it says u can D/L Movies.. Anywayz I'll keep searchin n thanks again..
As far as your lvl 2 Brilliance… No comment…

download DVD version of any movie even released in 2007 by limewire software for free, no need to pay anything, a P2P software which is the fastest one, it relies on JAVA. so theres no need to buy them!
