LarryUK Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I can't listen to him. Dreadful vibrato. I never liked him. It's funny that when musicians die they become gods. He's not in my eyes. But. If we all liked the same thing, wouldn't it be a boring world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I wouldn't say he's revered because he's dead. If you say Paul Kossoff to anyone that doesn't play guitar they'll think your talking about a College Professor or English Lit teacher. I didn't even know he died until a couple years ago. I would say he's a damn good guitarist who's major strength is in the Riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Many guitarists, and several members here state Paul as a main reason for becoming guitarists............. Personally I find his playing elegant, eloquent, and excellent.........Too many musicians die young............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all liked the same thing, wouldn't it be a boring world? Interesting points, lashurst. I can assure you that he was held in very high regard even when he was still alive... And I'm curious; what is it that you don't like about his vibrato? In fact, so 'good' was it thought to be by Eric Clapton that P.K. was asked to demonstrate his technique up-close-and-personal. But, as you say, it's the 'different strokes' that makes the world such a fascinating place to be! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I love Kossoff's style and tone. He's like many of my favorite guitar players, where he may not be technically brilliant or note-perfect. But he has (had) a great raw, organic sound. I don't know this for a fact but it looks to me like he had a big influence on Angus Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobB Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I found out he began learning Classical guitar when he was about 9 years old and in his early teens developed a passion for the Blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all liked the same thing, wouldn't it be a boring world? I'm gonna assume you're only aware of All Right Now as it plays on classic radio. I'll assume you've never heard Catch A Train, Fire And Water, Magic Ship, Travelin Man, or anything off the live album. I'll assume you've never heard of Back Street Crawler. Dreadful vibrato? I judge guitarists by their vibrato, and Kossoff is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Free a few times - I thought he was great when I was 15...I believe Dave Murray of Maiden bought his Strat (see cover of 'Back Street Crawler' LP).

pippy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I saw Free a few times - I thought he was great when I was 15...I believe Dave Murray of Maiden bought his Strat (see cover of 'Back Street Crawler' LP). I'm envious. I remember the morning at school, before class started, when a friend (another fan) told me he'd heard on the radio of Kossoff's death. It was my 'Kennedy's assassination moment', I suppose. I find it strangely very comforting to know that Dave Murray has Koss' old Strat; Someone who will give it the appreciation it fully deserves! Thanks for posting that tid-bit, jdgm. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
