Towelie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I never see him getting talked about on here. He seems to be a bit of a polarising figure on the Prince boards, some see him as a cheap Hendrix knock-off. Personally, I've always dug him. My second favourite Lenny, second to our very own @Len Cnut Here's some of my Lenny faves: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I love Circus and was disillusioned to learn it had tanked. Didnt like the Fly Away. Havent really checked back in since. That Long Sad Goodbye is great! I respect any musician that can play to studio quality on all/most of the instruments that they write for. Great guitarist in my books!

Bono Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yes. You could put a list of his 30 best songs which ever those are for each individual and his catalogue is very enjoyable I think. I also agree with soon, Circus was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Never interested me enough to go listen to him. Looks a smart boy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Never been a big fan, but he's got a killer voice and has written some great guitar riffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I'm a casual fan and mostly listen to his hits. But I must say the guy blew me away live. Fantastic show, great energy and enthousiasm, really working hard to make everybody love the show. He sounds sincere and I like that.

RNRS Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Half of his studio stuff is pretty good, the other half is bland and generic. Live he's quite the poser nowadays, tries to sell his songs by his supposedly sexy moves but avoids all the risky vocal stuff. His shows have become predictable, he's been playing the same setlist for about 20 years now with the exception of the odd 3 new songs. I could also do without the lengthy "spontaneous" jams he does, half of it goes nowhere. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Do enjoy his older stuff, he had some great tracks on Mama Said and Circus, not really heard much if his stuff since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
