Sharkman Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If you measure a musician's life in terms of how many records he sold, Leslie West was good, but nothing exceptional. If you measure his life in terms of how many other musicians he influenced, and how many peoples lives were touched by his songs, then Leslie West was a giant in the music industry. You would be hard pressed to find one guitarist who has never played air guitar while listening to Mississippi Queen at least once in their lives. And the number of big name guitarists who have cited Leslie West as an influence on their playing creates a huge list. Leslie is gone now, but he will not be forgotten. Quote I rock; therefore, I am.

desertbluesman Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 RIP Leslie West. I saw him live 2x. Once with Mountain and once with West, Bruce, and Lang.
