Kossoff Burst

[cherrick]

geez. This is worse than sitting in the front row of a titty bar with a strictly enforced no-touch rule.

More 'pic'! :spabout

Koss always has been, and probably always will be my favourite LP player. I just can't imagine what it must be like to be allowed to be in the same room as this guitar, never mind play it!
What an amazing day that must have been.

I agree. Koss is god to me. Reminds me of a few years ago when his '54 Custom was at the Dallas Guitar Show and i wasnt aware of it, i walked right by it. My best friend/bass player was like "Yeah that was at the guitar show" I looked at him and said "You saw it??" He says "Yeah..." and then im going "Why the hell didnt you tell me!!!"

Allthough i have (allmost) all Kossoff's recordings i feel ABSOLUTELY no need to get any closer to Paul's real life, i have deep sympathy for the guitarist he was.

I do somehow keep searching for that really deep and heavy rythm tone from his later work, still realising hes just a chap doing his 'thing' amongst us -still-. I wonder if he had ever imagined how many of us would adapt to his style in whichever form.

RIP Paul......:salude

Bass speakers. Thats where that deep, heavy tone came from. Get yourself some bass model Celestions or copies(WGS,Weber, Scumback).

Who is this Koss guy? I've never heard of him? Is he like a shredder or something? What kind of music does he play?

Koss was anything but a shredder. He put shredders to shame!

That said, since youve never heard of him, he was the guitarist for FREE. They were best known for All Right Now(although they had many more, better songs)

Cherrick is a troll. He's posting wind-ups all over the place, so don't waste your time.

Still looking forward to one good photo of that guitar., especially as it hasn't been covered in great detail in the past.

What's your agenda with this? :wah

 

[cherrick]

No agenda. Just curious. Never heard of the guy.

All Right Now

All Right Now

Oh yeah. I remember that song.

That seems hard to believe.
You never heard of Paul Kossoff, guitarist and Burst slinger for Free?
If not, you really need to get out more. There's far more to him than just All Right Now !

 

[JRW8214@AOL.COM]

yeah thats what i was thinking. How can one be on this forum and never heard of Paul Kossoff.

 

[Wookie]

How about that ONE pic?!?!?!?

 

[kharrison]

Very hard to believe. He has been mentioned as much as Clapton, Green, and Bloomfield on this forum. If it is some sort of passive jibe on the guy, I would suggest going back and really listening to the Free stuff. Kossoff was a genius and had the tone all with a burst plugged right into a Marshall with just a volume and tone knob.:hmm
