Damn, that sucks!!! rip....
Btw he invented electric guitar.

First solid body. Les Paul and Leo Fender were basically the pioneers of guitar.

He was more than a guitarist, much more. He was an inventor. He laid the primary building block for the foundation on which we record music today, multitrack recording. He also developed some of the most of the first (and most popular) recording effects such as the delayed audio effect.

And of course he was one of the first to create a solid-body electric guitar.

Exactly, where would MUSIC in general be without him? He was surely one of the most important musical figures of our time.

Sorry if this sounds apathetic, but I don't really care about 94 year old dead guys

Ive told you about this before... if you have nothing productive to add then dont add anything. Added infraction, not for this comment entirely but for continuously doing this in threads. Hopefully you will cease to do this from now on.

RIP Les Paul, music wouldnt have been the same without his influence.
 
Re: Les Paul, dead at 94.

To be honest, I don't really see the sadness in it. Yes, it sucks when somebody dies, but the man did live 94 years. If I live to be 90+ I would consider that a blessing.

Id agree with you there, he had lived a good life and couldnt have achieved much more than he did.
