national anthem at the Cleveland Indians playoff game against the New York Yankees. Since
I have always wondered what it would be like to hear the best singer in the world perform
the national anthem, I am very disappointed that I was not able to witness his singing of

"I am Bob, 39, and live in one of the blues capitals of
the world, St.Louis. Some of my other rock favorites are Black Sabbath, T.Rex, Tommy Bolin
and Mott the Hoople. I remember in the early 70's when I first heard "I'll be
Creepin" by Free. I believe that the 4 members blended the blues and rock like no one
else. I love Bad Co. and the world-class Paul Rodgers, too, but Paul Kossoff was a genius
who is, sadly, not remembered by most Americans. From "Tons of Sobs" to
"2nd Street" when I hear his riffs it still sends chills up and down my spine.
As a recovering alcoholic myself, it is like Koss ripped open all of the pain in his heart
for all to hear. I never got to see him or when Free came to St.Louis in the early 70's. I
did see Crawler here in 1978. I was thrilled to meet Terry Wilson and Tony Braunagel here
in the early 80's. They were in the band with Eric Burdon when he came to Mississippi
Nights. I specifically would like to hear of any Paul Kossoff info, stories, etc. Can
anyone tell me where he is buried at?" send

Since I'm 37, that means I've been listening to Paul for more than a quarter century. We
really need to do something about getting this icon his 'due.' It pains me to see these
guys who don't belong on the same stage as Paul all over VH1 and other shows. I mean,
seriously, who did Rodgers 'p... off' in the industry that inhibits this incredible talent

Rodgers from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm 33 years old, and began listening
to Bad Company at a very early age. That is what introduced me to
Free, and I've been a serious fan ever since. I'd like to thank Lucy
for her and her husband's classy website, as it has been a great
source of information, and inspiration to me for 2 years now.
I have just finished a 40 song tribute to Paul Rodgers, and it
contains a lot of unreleased live performances, studio out-takes,
and other "rarities" which have taken me many years to
compile. Being a graphic artist, I designed all of the artwork, and
everyone considers it to be a breath-taking acknowledgement of what
I consider to be by far the most talented vocalist of this, or any
other time.
Paul continues to amaze his fans, and what a class act to dedicate
some effort to the victims of New York, with the shows with The
Volunteers of America. The Poem from Simon is very moving, and can
us fans imagine Paul singing the National Anthem? I heard he sang it
at a Cleveland Indians baseball game against The Yankees, man, I'd
give anything to hear that rendition. Talk about heavy chills
running wildly down the spine of any dedicated fan of Rodgers!
Before attending the show in Oklahoma City, me and my friends were
killing time at The Zoo, when we all heard Paul rehearsing for the
concert to the tune of "Running with the Pack!" We were
admiring the Lion exhibit when we listened to Paul singing his heart
out, and I'll never forget the irony, as it was a most spiritual
experience that will stay with me "till the day I die."
I'd love to hear from fans all over the world, as I consider myself
to be one of his biggest fans." send

SANE is a 70's style hard rock band. FREE along with Led Zeppelin, 70's Aerosmith, my fave

Frank from Bethlehem. "Back in 1970, I was in a band in
high school. We were known as The Max Blatt Blues Band, and attempted to cover Led
Zeppelin, ZZ Top and most of all Free. I was the vocalist. There were four of us and we
went no where fast. In June of 1971, we all bought tickets to see Mott The Hoople open for
Free at the Fillmore East. At last, we would see and hear the masters, Free in person. We
loaded up the off-white VW micro-bus and drove 80 miles east. Much to our chagrin, the
concert was cancelled due to illness in the band. No fiurther details were available.
Dissappointed, we drove home and had our own gig. That was our last performance as well.
Paul Rodgers has left a definitive mark on me and to this day when I hear "Walk In My
Shadow" , tears well up. Not because I am melancholy but because I missed what we
hoped would be the performance of a lifetime. Thank goodness for recordings. I am still
and will always be a Free/Badco fan. Please e-mail

issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine at a guitar show in Dallas that
featured Paul Kossoff on the front cover. I cant tell you how many
times i read that article on him. He is now one of my two favorite
guitar players(the other being Robin Trower). FREE is also one of
my favorite bands. Everyone of them was a master at what they did.
It frustrates me how Koss doesnt get the recognition he really
deserves. Which is sad because he was one of the PUREST guitarists
ever. No effects, just a les paul, marshall amp, and a whole lotta
soul. I'm wanting to find out as much info about him as possible,
if anyone can help me out, it would be deeply appreciated. And

Wisconsin. I am 32 and have been a Bad Co. fan since the early 90's.
Back in 1991, or 92 I went to a concert in Madison Wisconsin. I have
to admit that i had actually gone because i knew someone who was
getting me back stage to meet Ted Nugent. (Bad Co. was touring with
Damn Yankees at the time.) I really had no idea who Bad Co. was back
then.(I was into heavier music at the time.) Well, needless to say, I
saw the show and got hooked. And I was fortunate enough to get to meet
the band. They were charming and so down to earth. Ted didn't seem to
matter much after a short chat with Simon Kirke. He was awesome. Since
then I have listened to their music, both past and present,
faithfully. I hadn't gotten the chance to see them live again until

"Hi, I'm Jennifer from New York. I
first would like to thank Lucy and her husband for the great site and
for giving us an outlet to talk about these great artists. I'm 41 one
now and have been listening to Bad Company since high school. I
remember when I first heard "Feel like making love." I was
so embarrassed as I was walking home with some boys I grew up with
that I sang "feel like making cookies!" I just couldn't say
"love." Of course, they laughed at me, like they always did.
That was my first intro to them, I guess I was 14. I was really the
only one who paid attention to Bad Company out of my immediate group
of friends. I could not help but love them. As years went by, no
matter what, if they came on the radio, my heart would just melt. That
voice, that unique and precious voice - that unique and precious sound
- it's theirs and theirs alone - no one can touch them. Being from New
York, I was devastated by the 9/11 attacks, as was the world. I would
frequent the city before but was extremely fearful after. One day I
was playing with my son in June and heard the free view concert and
flipped out!! I went online to see their tour schedule and bought
tickets that day, without hesitation. My fear was gone. Fear of the
train, fear of Grand Central, cabs, etc. etc......just gone. Bad
company got me over my horror and needless to say, it was the best
time I've had in so, so many years. I wish they played another night -
just take it all in. The concert was like a blur as I was tooooooo
excited. We had 3rd row center seats. After, we had the extreme good
fortune to meet Simon and he signed a drumstick from the show. He was
so nice and down to earth - seemed just like us. Being a huge Yankee
fan, I wish I had seen Paul sing the National Anthem. With a policeman
for a husband, I also wish I had seen the tribute concert. Although
tragic, It was nice for the police to get positive recognition for
once. Thank you. Well, what more can I say other that I will continue
to follow and admire Paul, Simon, and Bad Company. I hope we have many
more years in which to do so. I can't wait until their next concert
and hopefully I'll be able to see more than one. My 20 month old son,
James, is now a big fan too. He loves when I put on the video and he
dances and plays air guitar. He makes me lift him to the screen so
that he can touch Paul's face. He tries to get the drumstick Simon
signed but sorry, that's for his memory box. He sings the words best
as he can. He melts my heart and I'm glad he's a fan along with his
mommy. Thanks for letting me ramble on. It's nice to be a part of
something so uplifting and positive such as this website. Smiles to

Phil in Oregon. "I never saw Free live ... in fact the
first time I saw Paul Rodgers live was this past year when he was last in Portland with
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I went together with my son who grew up listening
to all my old vinyl albums. Paul Rodgers is a gifted vocalist and Paul Kossoff was a
gifted guitarist (not to mention Andy Fraser being probably the most innovative bass
player of the modern rock era ... and Simon Kirke being about as good as a drummer as
there is)." send email

"Hi! My name is Randy and I live in Maryland. I'm 40
years old and have been collecting records, going to concerts, and have been in love with
Rock 'n Roll music since I was in high school. I've seen Paul numerous times in concert.
My favorite groups include The Who, Led Zeppelin, Free, BC and, of course, Paul Rodgers.
Cheers." send email

Ron from Canada. "Hi, I've been a big fan of Bad
Company for years and have been lucky to meet Paul and his girlfriend in my store. They've
dropped by quite a few times and they seem to be madly in love with each other (she's a
real looker and quite the catch). Paul was sooo nice and down to earth. We gabbed for a
while about everything, Bad Company...the weather...Brian Adams, etc. I've met a few
celebrities in my lifetime but I have to say Paul Rodgers is the real thing! He's a
rock'en Roll star with a good head on his shoulders." send email

Synthuser from Sonoma, California. "I have loved this
band since I was 10 when I would sneek into my older brother's room and listen to Fire
& Water. Of course I would scratch it and he would kick my butt :) But it didn't
matter! I think I became a musician because of such heartfelt honest music. Thanks for
sharing! I loved reading it. Also, would love to find some of the old Back Street Crawler
stuff." send email

Teresa, from Princeton, New Jersey. "Just
found this website for the first time tonight. Thanks to Lucy and
Rob for putting this together - it's a gift! I've been listening
to, and loving, Free since 1970*and it's great to find so many
other people who love their music as much as I do. (*When I was in
high school, my best friend and I used to sneak home from school
to listen to Free - sometimes we'd never make it back for our
afternoon classes.) While I've since moved on to add Stevie Ray
Vaughan and Steve Earle to my list of favorite musicians, Free
will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm particularly
haunted - in a good way - by Paul Kossoff's guitar, so would enjoy
hearing from any Kossoff fans. (Of course Paul Rodgers has by far
the best voice in rock & roll, and is completely amazing, but
we all know that, so there's not a whole lot more to say on that
topic. It's literally impossible to hear this man's voice and NOT
feel good!) Anyone who loves Free's music - if you just want to
write and say how much you love it, I'll be happy to hear from
you. (...Favorite Free songs? Tell me your top 3 favorites -if you
can choose- and why!) The world could use a band like Free today;
if anyone knows of any bands making music like Free's in spirit,
let me know. Thanks again, Lucy and Rob!" send email

Tim from Missouri. "I am intereeested in hearing from
all Paul Rodgers fans. I have been a fan from the day I heard the tune Bad Coompany. I am
interested in trading and discussing videos available on Paul and his various
associations. Or just drop a line to say hi. Thanks. E-mail me at Arnold@ccp.com."

Tim from Virginia. "I used to play in a band in my
younger years. In fact, we used to do "Good Lovin' Gone Bad." I have been a fan
of Bad Company since day one. I like Free as well but don't know as much about them. I've
seen Bad Company twice, once in 1977 on the Burnin' Sky tour. And once in 1991. The 1977
show was great because B.C. had to play the whole show by themselves with no opening act.
It was probably the best concert I've ever seen. I have all of their records and have many
fond memories of listening to their music." send

Tina from Virginia. "I have really enjoyed this site.
Bad Company "the original" has always been my favorite band. When Paul left, I
tracked down old Free albums and enjoy those also. The anthology album is super - Smokin
45 is my favorite. Would like to hear from other fans." send email

Tom from California. "I live in Fresno. I have been a
fan of Paul's for years. I first saw Free as an opening act for Traffic in St. Louis in
the early 70's. I caught Bad Company three times in Chicago and I saw The Firm in Oakland.
I also saw Paul Rodgers and Company with Steve Miller in Fresno a couple years back. This
summer I saw Paul opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in September in San Francisco and then at The
Fillmore in October." send email

Toni and Rita from Chicago, USA. "We have followed PR
since the Free days. Rita is a huge fan and I (Toni) have been her sidekick in these

Chicago. Going this Friday (7/18/97) to see him at the House of Blues. Stories to tell and
would love to hear some." send email
