RE: MSG -Page/Crowes Cancellation

a les paul standard is heavy. i'll give you that but an SG is not. they are
really thin and are not heavy at all. Besides he didn't play the double neck
3 hours a night. If the les paul hurts his back he should switch guitars
.It's as simple as that. Throw on a strat and get your ass up there and play
for your fans .

First of all anyone who has actually picked up a Real Les Paul standard let
alone a
Gibson double neck and play it for 3 hours a night for 30+ years is bound to
have back trouble. Especially when they are over 50, so i seriously doubt
Page is faking this.
 A single neck Gibson sg is extremely heavy. So a double neck is a killer,
im sure Pete would agree. And i doubt you'll find a guitarest out there who
disagees.
