ACE FREHLEY, ZAKK WYLDE To Appear At LES PAUL Tribute Event
Ace Frehley (KISS) and Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) are among the musicians who will appear at a very special tribute to the late, great Les Paul to be held at the historic Ryman Auditorium, former home to the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville on Thursday, November 19, 2009. The tribute concert program will be free to the many fans of Les Paul and Gibson Guitar.
Les Paul, the innovator and inventor who passed away at 94 years of age this past August was known throughout the world as the man who created multi-track recording and the father of the electric guitar. Many musicians pay homage to Les Paul and credit their careers and musicianship directly to him.
Gibson Guitar, along with some of music's most respected celebrities, will join together to celebrate the life of Les Paul during a night of music, special announcements, video tributes and testimonials and storytelling. The event marks the first tribute held by the guitar maker in honor of Les Paul. Many other programs and special events will continue to take place throughout the year and early 2010 to mark anniversary dates significant to Les Paul's life and in an effort to preserve the legacy of the man who made modern music what it is today.
Les Paul's son, Russ Paul, along with Gibson Guitar Chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum President Terry Stewart will emcee the 90-minute program which will begin at 8:00 p.m. at the Ryman (doors open at 7:00 p.m. CT).

Quotes from Musicians
-- We were one of the first bands signed in that late 80s time period. It was a real exciting time to be playing music. "Those are some years I will always cherish" says Jerry Dixon of Warrant
-- As far as I'm concerned, the bars have just gotten a little bigger says Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot
-- "There were a lot of assholes, a lot of Los Angeles jerks who said I would never make it says Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot
-- I think Motley Crue has broken down a lot of barriers as far as what you can get away with. I don't think people will soon forget us because we are true to our art. We live it and breathe it. We are Motley Crue 24 hours a day and whether I'm on the beach or in the back of somebody's car with some slut, I'm still in Motley Crue says Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue
-- 'We don't care about making money, we just don't want to be losing money. So we've scaled things back... but it's still the same raw, dirty rock 'n' roll - no holds barred.' says Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue
-- Yeah, I just want to say that I read what Joe Elliott [DEF LEPPARD] said, slagging off bands like POISON and WINGER. I've gotten used to being the punching bag, I take it all! But POISON is really good live and Bret Michaels' own response to Joe was awesome. I also love DEF LEPPARD and I think they're a great band. But if Joe Elliott wants to meet me at an L.A. club of his choice with an acoustic guitar, leave the Pro Tools at home and I'll open up a can of whoop-ass on him! says Kip Winger of Winger
-- Jani is such a talented guy but he just can't seem to keep it together. He'd be on stage and after three songs he'd throw the mic down and say, "Fuck this shit, I'm out of here!" says Kip Winger of Winger
-- “I go, 'What do you mean a chicken? A chicken chicken? A live chicken?' And he goes, 'No, it's a dead chicken, and you're a virus. It's a metaphorical commercial.' I said, 'Hey, I don't care. That's fine.' So, I went down and did it. They pay ungodly amounts of money and you just stand there and look mad at a chicken.” Explaining the recording of the Norton spyware commercial says Don Dokken of Dokken
