Former KISS Guitarist BRUCE KULICK Remembers JIM MARSHALL

April 5, 2012

Former KISS and current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick has released the following statement regarding the passing of Jim Marshall, the creator of the Marshall amplifier:

"The loss of Jim Marshall today saddens me greatly. My love of Marshall amps and the iconic company he created will always be a part of my life. I will never forget the clinic tour I did with him back in the early '90s promoting the 900 series amps, which I still use. His charm and grace in the English way made him unique to me. Knowing all the lives he changed with his products, and the artists he worked with through the years, made him a giant in the industry of the music business. I know Jim will never be forgotten, and that the legacy of his amps will carry on for generations to come. RIP, Jim Marshall."

Marshall, who originally owned a music shop in London, founded Marshall Amplification 50 years ago. He was 88 years old.
