ROCKSTAR MOODY INTERVIEW : LESLIE WEST

[tisgoner]

According to latest reports Leslie has just had part of his right leg amputated due to a diabetes related swelling.  Hope you cope ok Leslie because I like your input into rock music. Keep the faith my man.

great guitarist but he looks like an old woman

leslie's right,american idol contestants cannot write for shit! nevermind sing! shit!

[gorblimey61]

Its great that he's remained so down to earth and funny. His advice for building chops is spot on also. There's no need to practice stuff that you can already play.

leslie is the man!!!

[jdrizd2]

Now there is some good advice! Supposedly Randy Rhoads played Mississippi Queen in his first band.

[JimmerSD]

WOW! Leslie has lost a lot of weight! WTG Leslie!

I had no idea that you were that tall Momo!

Leslie West. A TRUE Rock God.

Just great watching Leslie get out there and preach. Leslie DID reinvent himself. OVER and OVER and OVER. For 40+ years.

Loved watching Leslie knock American Idol. He's right. To LAST in music, you must WRITE SONGS. There is so much truth to that. Its what Rock music in the 90's and new millennium totally forgot about, and why rock music is nowhere to be found on the Billboard charts any longer.

Long live Rock n Roll. Long live Leslie West.

@depper Leslie lays it all out at the 2:44 mark....if you really want to play, you'll play for nothing. If you want to play to be rich or famous, forget it. Wise words from the Wizard of the electric guitar!
