well you were insinuating that h doesnt write his songs but steals other peoples. So in response, it was most likely a live thing. If not maybe you can have a listen to his studio recordings and tell us which solos hes supposed to of copied in which of his songs. Im intrigued


Eccentric...I wasnt "insinuating" anything. I was describing my experience with Lenny at a live performance and the fact that I was disappointed. I also said this (its a quote from a previous post, since you dont appear to read them) ....

"Sorry, though. I dont recall what song it was. Further, this was a live performance that might not resemble the studio version. Im never been a huge Lenny fan, but have a number of his songs on my computer and play several of them in my set list. I can say that I have never noticed this solo-copycat issue with any of his studio versions. So it might be an isolated event. But that makes it only less distasteful to me."

Regarding allegations of stealing, I seem to recall actual copyright/royalty lawsuits filed against rappers who were "sampling". Further, I recall publishing houses filing suit against bars and their performing cover bands for royalties related to the covers. Jimmy Page and Led Zepellin were sued for copyright infringement. The plaintiffs alleged LZ effectively copied songs, or parts of songs. LZ settled out of court. So, its clear that Im not alone in my views about "borrowing".

You seem to take this all personally. I didnt think I was being that critical.


i actually do read them, however you can't state something then have no substance to back it up. I dont remember is a bit of a crap excuse.
I'm not taking it personally its called being objective. As far as copyright infringment, none of the above included Lenny, and there have not been any since being an artist. So don't you think if he did then he would have been sued by now? Its not like hes an underground artist and has sold a couple of hundred albums.

Are you suggesting I made it up? How would you suggest I confirm that his guitarist was playing solos from other songs at a single live performance at relatively small club in Minneapolis? I dont have a recording for you. You dont have to beleive me, but I have nothing to gain by my suggestions. Why would I make this up?

But, listen. Its pretty clear your offended. I didnt realize he was your hero. So how about this...."Maybe his guitarist didnt play those solos the two of us guitarist thought we heard"

Feel better?


Not offended at all, but it seems someone mite be. Well Im not asking for a recording. Some examples would be nice. Generally when you go to gigs and either like or hate them you remember things unless you smoke 10kilos of weed a day, or your brains pickled by alcohol. Or your an idiot. Take your pick. I think its clear which one is more evident from your sad patronising remarks.


Actually, I havent smoked 10k/day or pickled by brain by any other means for about 22 years now. So, I guess Im an idiot then :lol: I got a feeling Ive been clean longer than you've been alive. What do you think?

But to your point about going to a gig and remembering things.....I think that was my point, eh, genius? I "remember" his guitarist playing other guys solos. Thats what this idiot remembers most about that evening.

Further, to your suggestion about whether I "either like or hate them"...I never said hated him. I like Lenny. I pretty clearly said I had fun. I also said I play several of "his" songs on my guitar....that's because I like the music....OK genius? It also implies that I recognize that he "writes" music....get it genius? "....his songs"??? The first thing I said was "Im torn..." That's because I sort of like him, but was disappointed by his guitarist playing other guys solos.

Im not asking you to take down his poster, OK? Just relax.


so maybe you pickled you brain 22 years ago as you can't remember whether it was a zepplin solo, or hendrix or whatever (as they were that recognisable!) and you've never been able to get it back. And i think your wrong as i am older than 22 by a few years. sorry to dissapoint, so in retrospect to that I don't put posters on my walls. Also Craig Ross is a very good guitarist and writes alot of songs with Lenny so.....I guess that kinda contradicts what your saying about his music and his guitarist.


Of course I pickled my brain :lol: :lol:

I am disappointed to hear your older than 22 because youre not acting like it. Come on....your not a day over 17.

But seriously, he's a fine guitarist and probably a fine song writer. I like Lenny K and his band, OK? I really liked his rendition of Stairway to Heaven. :P


its funny you think i act like 17 after your comments, you sound more like an 8 year old spolit kid (you most likely were). So i made one mistake, but at least i can remember things like covers and stuff that bands i have seen have done. especially when they are well known covers that everyone would know. I wasn't lucky enough to see hendrix as he was around before I was. However Metallica did do a great cover of die my darling after playing the whole of master of puppets.
JSYK theres no point in carrying this on. Its pointless and your a waste of my time. So its time time for one of us to be an adult and end it. Post again if you want I dont really care. Theres no point. This was meant to be a simple thread and screw it your not worth it at all. Laters
