Wasn't Leslie West affectionately called, "The fattest guitarist ever to waddle on stage?" The article is rather politically correct for a rock star. 76.251.28.86 (talk) 00:05, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Pinch Harmonics?
I read somewhere that Leslie was the first ever person to extensively use pinch-harmonics. -Wolfinator-x —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.59.126.254 (talk) 20:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Needs revert
Lots of vandalism - needs to be reverted to 22:00, 26 December 2008 74.215.48.189 (Talk) (8,962 bytes) (→Biography) (undo) ... How does one revert back like this? I don't see it in the interface, is that an admin-only feature? Luminifer (talk) 06:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Leg
Something to this article must be amended to include the story of his now missing leg section that had to be amputated. im not one for editing the article itself but im sure someone with a good RS can totally verify it and include it and it should be done soon. ill check back in a few days and if not ill take it upon myself to figure out how to do it i guess.--HighallTimes (talk) 00:27, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Amplifiers
I believe, from memory, that Leslie used German-made Stramp amplifiers with the speaker cones cut with razor blades early in his career. Sattara (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

This article should mention West's spot hosting Headbangers Ball on MTV - no? MTV HueyLouie2e (talk) 19:52, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Guitars
West also played Hayman guitars in the Seventies. Yes, he really did https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.guitar/2G1iqvk7wVU and http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/guitar/acapella-41/1102856- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:491D:7B6:106C:F6B8:F8F9:F674 (talk) 12:30, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
