The Legendary Les Paul
The Wizard of Waukesha turns 90Continue reading...Concerts aside, Paul also has a new album coming ou from Capitol/EMI Music Catalog Marketing this summer.
He recorded songs with Eric Clapton, Sting, Peter Frampton,
Johnny Rzeznik, Jeff Beck, Joss Stone, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joan Osborne and Richie Sambora, among others. “You’re going to be surprised with this, but the way we did it is a lot of the musicians were at the Grammy Awards in California, so they went to the Capitol Studios there and recorded their parts. A few of them were in New York, and I put them in the studio here, and I put my parts down, and then we sent it off, and they made a record,” Paul says. “You don’t have to be there to make a recording with somebody. I personally like it much better when you’re all together doing the same thing, but it’s because of the invention I made—multi-track recording—you don’t have to be together.”

How’d The Tonight Show appearance go?
It went really well. I was super nervous. It was just so surreal being there. My dressing room was right next to Roseanne Barr’s, and I could hear her talking over there, and I just couldn’t believe it.
[During the show], we were supposed to go by a script, because we had all these sounds we wanted to go over. Einstein didn’t get to do a lot of things that we wished she could have, but she did show off pretty well. Jay Leno was really super nice. He came by before the show and was really interested in African greys, and why they mimic, and he said, “If she mimicked the sound of a monkey, would the monkey in the rain forest think it was a monkey, or would it think it was a bird?”
I talked with Roseanne briefly, and she was very sweet, and she was telling me her phobia of birds. In the clip, she scoots far away on the couch from me. Bo Bice [American Idol runner-up] was really nice, and I got to shake Richie Sambora’s hand. We were out on stage, and he was holding his guitar, and I was like, “I’m sorry I just really have to shake your hand,” so he put it down, and shook my hand.

Bo Bice News
Bice has been in the studio with producers Desmond Child and Jamie Houston, and has teamed up with Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora on a cover of Ides Of March's "Vehicle," which is the second track on his current single "Inside Your Heaven."
Bo says he's begun work on the album with noted producers Desmond Child and Jamie Houston. Aside from his duet with Richie Sambora on the 1970 Ides of March song "Vehicle," he's not revealing any other surprise guests. He also would not confirm rumors that he did a duet with Carlos Santana for the guitar great's next album, saying, "I'd look forward to doing that. I can't speculate, though. Until things are in stone with me, I don't ever know what's going on."
Although Bice says it's too soon to reveal everyone he'll be working with on the album, he notes that teaming with Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora on a cover of Ides of March's ''Vehicle'' was ''incredible,'' and that he has been in the studio with producers Desmond Child and Jamie Houston. ''Vehicle'' is the second track on Bice's current double A-sided single ''Inside Your Heaven.'' Written by Andreas Carlsson for ''American Idol'' and produced by Child, the record debuted last week at No. 1 on Billboard's Pop 100 chart and No. 2 on the Hot 100.

Live 8
Bon JoviGenre: RockThree hits: “It’s My Life,” “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Wanted Dead or Alive”Eight-second bio: The New Jersey-based rockers – Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Alec John Such (who left in 1994), Tico Torres, David Bryan – were the quintessential 1980s hair metal band. But the group has demonstrated its staying power as it plans a yet-to-be-titled album to come out Sept. 20 . As the band would say: “100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can’t Be Wrong.”Do-gooder meter: 4. From his involvement with environmental causes and his association with the Special Olympics to his participation in events inspired as responses to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, frontman Jon Bon Jovi has a deep history of social consciousness.
