• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Did anyone rock harder in the early 80’s? Up until the “Rock Me” video debacle, Billy Squier was turning out some heavy Zep inspired rock that featured killer tone, cool guitars and that HUGE open drum sound. Super tight band, awesome vocals and a great bass player.

Billy was always an ambassador for Gibson over the years. When I think back to my youth, I remember listening to Lonely Is the Night or Stroke while at the roller rink playing Defender and Centipede back in the day, with the visual of a TV Yellow Special and Sunburst immediately conjuring up in my brain.

Anyway….I’d love to see a small run of 50-100 of each of these guitars. Makes more sense than an Adam Jones standard (which is a FINE guitar! But a head scratcher…)

That guitar…talk about androgynous.
Rock Me Tonite!

I love Billy's music, and he soldiers on.

Umm, the video fallout may stymie marketing association. There was never a BOTB or CC of his burst, IIRC? That would've been the era I would have expected it to happen... although never say never.

FWIW, the Adam Jones market is vast in comparison.
