The Captain Meets Terry Marshall - A Marshall Amplification History Lesson!

[@yohnsvain9651]

Captain, I realize you’re accomplished at any number of things, but your interview skills, capturing moments like this before they’re gone, you somehow get to the heart of each guest. Thank you.

[@wheelie07030]

was about to say the same thing!

[@simonwhalley1743]

I’ve always been a Fender amp guy but I can completely appreciate the influence Terry and his father have had on the music world over the decades. Hat off to this man, his father and to Lee for bringing us this wonderful interview.

[@compucorder64]

Me too, but of all the Marshall's I feel that JTM45s are Marshalls that Fender amp guy's can like too. They definitely wear their Bassman heritage well. They aren't very high-gain amps, in fact as gain goes up, the bass really needs to be dialed down. And they're not too crazy loud, forward , or piercing. A really lovely sounding amp, with a smooth, buttery, pleasant character. With drive, they get very warm sounding, with crunchy mids, and a nice cooking texture in the treble. More like a really nice nod to a Tweed, souped up, and that makes them my favourite Marshall - because they have strong traits of both Fender & Marshall in them.

Thank you Captain , this video and this History will live forever now , thanks to you !!!!!

LOL

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

Floored me when he said he’s 80-years old. That’s what a drug-free life gifts you 😊 I met Jim Marshall not long before he died. He was signing autographs at the London Guitar Show around 2005/6. He was hooked up to an oxygen tank and looked really unwell - but he was still there smiling and meeting all us nobodies. Long live Marshall.

[@Fret-knot]

What a great interview. It doesn't get much more iconic, than Marshall!

[@PaulCooksStuff]

What a genuine guy. Fascinating chat.

[@johnhulke5196]

Lovely to see Terry again as before the captain took the reins at Andertons I was visited on many occasions at Andertons when Terry was on the road selling Marshall. Lovely man and always had a good story to tell. My best wishes to Terry and family. Johnny Hulke. 😊

[@ivorharden]

Even with the new Swedish owners, Im happy that Terry is still a part of the company. Hopefully someone can follow in his footsteps in years to come.

[@MikeW-u4z]

Thank you! I learned a lot more about Terry’s input into shaping the Marshall legacy. I bought my first Marshall back 1982, one of the white JCM800 20th Anniversary 2204 50 watt heads which I still have and have bought at least another dozen marshall amps since and am writing this while looking at 3 JCM900 1960 speaker cabinets!

Thanks, Captain. Thanks, Mr Marshall, for your dedication to the craft that has given us so much. Wisconsin, USA

[@tonydavey4171]

Great Interview, I attended a Marshall promo event to about 100 people in Birmingham. I was in my late teens and I'm 73 now and the band ..DEEP PURPLE! I had ringing in my ears all the following day; no 120db sound limiters in those days.

[@fedup3449]

I'm 65 and my first memory of Marshall was when I went into a music shop in the arse end of Birmingham, UK. I was about 17 so it would be around 1976. As I walked in, the shop guy was just firing up a huge stack with Marshall on it. He plugged in a Les Paul and started playing some heavy blues. I was smitten. It was loud but my God, the tone. Still hooked to this day.

[@waynebridger4998]

Thank you, Mr Anderton and Mr Marshall, for this superb interview and retrospective look back and history of Marshall amps from Terrys view. Who knew, he was the ears, the sound. Keep them coming, these “interview” style documentaries need cataloging, as they are part of UK and music history.

[@willhaylock3769]

I'm 68 years old and as a teeenager I started listening to rock and prog music in the early 70s - Marshall was always at the forefront, I love the more technical aspects of amplfier design as I built my own guitar amplifier when I was at school aged 13 - what a great interview.

[@myeyesarewaiting]

Terry speaks so well. A pleasure to listen to.

[@Scott__C]

Terry looks fantastic for being 80. Bernie Marsden was absolutely dynamite. Feeling good about Marshall for the next generations based on what he's said. As I commented on the tour video, no matter what other brands say they've done to "fix" or "improve" Marshalls, Marshall IS the sound of rock.

[@danielthomas8507]

Met Jim in 87 in New Zealand...lovely fellow....great amps

[@seangillen920]

It's important to document this stuff. Thank you Lee and Terry.

[@franciscocastellanos2912]

Amazing, thank you guys! Great to hear that Terry is involved and part of the show

[@vincentvandervaart8019]

Enjoyed this very much 2 blokes talking about their dad's and taking over the business 😊

[@benstime9427]

This was an amazing interview. Great use of your connections and past to get such an interesting and insightful view of such an iconic and adored company. Thank you for introducing us, Terry.

[@chrisgunn121]

Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane, keep on rockin Terry!!!....

[@mikegallagher2732]

BEST EPISODE EVER .....Thank you Captain !!!!!

[@KristonAbbott]

What a delightful chat. Awesomeness indeed. Our Marshall rep back in the late ‘90s was Nick Bland. “You’re looking well, have you lost weight? Have you been awaaaaaay?” Every time he walked in the door. Jim was great, met him a couple of times at Bletchley, a gentleman each and every time.

[@plantagenant]

Terry wears the same comfy shoes as Tony Iommi in the last interview I saw. Awesome!

[@MaesVideo]

Great interview, I'm listening to Terry's album right now and loving it!

[@mojo6778]

Love this - the complete history timeline of Marshall, so cool to see you and Terry re-connect after so many years, and do such a great deep dive. Great content!! cheers from north Texas!

[@douglasdog1]

Great interview, planned to listen to it in bits, but cancelled my plans and listened straight through. Thank you! Amazing legacy!

[@ricomono6820]

I love the great Marshall history and stories about this family business who was/is important for the music we listen today! 🤟 Big thanks to Lee and Terry 🙏. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@pauledwards1807]

Thank you for your extremely interesting interview with Terry Marshall and the tour around the factory I shall be watching it again and again it was excellent , thank you. Lee.

[@richardbaker4797]

Hi Lee and all at Andertons Music and Marshall. Well that certainly was a tremendous watch. It's thrown up a lot of memories for me as well. Like Marshall, I was also born in1960, in fact just round the corner from Hanwell in Perivale. In addition, my granddad was also a copper and was also called Harry!!! But perhaps most importantly given the context of the video, I have a 1980's Marshall Valvestate 8080 which has been sitting gathering dust for the past 20 years of so, but has now been booked into a local amp service guy to hopefully bring it back to life. I knew it was a good amp when I bought it, but tbh I didn't really appreciate just how good, and how loved they are/were. Once again thanks for the video, it was really enjoyable listening to both Terry and yourself take a fond trip down memory lane. Cheers and Happy New Year.

[@frattenders]

Memories!..... Terry was the Marshall rep when I managed Underground Sounds in Tunbridge Wells during the early 90s. Lovely chap! I also knew a chap called Arthur Lampkin briefly in the 80s. He setup (I believe) Wembley Loudspeakers, and used to supply Jim at Hanwell with Goodmans speakers in the early 60s.

[@Saul_HUDSON]

Just a very big Thank you to you both !

[@MisterBurtonshaw]

Had the pleasure of meeting Terry's dad in about '85/86 in the Patti Pavilion in Swansea. A now gone Picton Music Shop had arranged a Marshall expo. I was a bit surprised that Jim himself would attend, maybe Terry did too? It was packed!!!!! Anyway, had a chat with Jim and asked if he had met Hendrix at his shop, he had, he said. was really nice nice fellow. Jim kindly signed a Beano poster for me which had pride of place on my bedroom door until it fell to bits. Bought a JCM900 stack when they launched, never had a problem with it. Sadly had to sell it when we moved to a smaller house. I still have a rev 3 Class 5 that has a lovely sound for the house.

[@adrianp.barbieri7514]

Hi, After having met you recently at the store, when I reminded you of your interview with your Dad. You've done it again! Brilliant and so informative, I knew Jim Marshall from his visits to Denmark Street in the 60s but had no idea of Terry's role. Great that the continuation of this great Brand is secure. Thanks and Congratulations.

[@hangtite87]

This interview could have gone on all day. Thank you.

[@michaelgallegos8811]

Iam almost 64 i remember hearing my first Marshall half stack i think it was a plexi mid 70's it was so loud man the guitarist had a big hair and a beautiful les paul burst what a combo to get introduced to 😂 the guys playing in bands was using, fender orange, hiwatt ,carvin,that Marshall half stack had me a Marshall lover to this day.Thanks Captain for the video 🎶🎸🍸✌️

[@dalebickerstaff311]

Fab interview Lee, I could listen to Terry chat about the old times all day long.

[@halbertking2683]

I'm a Fender amp guy , but I own a smallbox 50, 1987model . I was doing a gig with it in the 80s at the Channel in Boston, Massachusetts . The sound man came up after our set . said " That Marshall sounded amazing . " He didn't say " The Band sounded amazing . " He didn't say " You sounded amazing . " He didn't say " Your guitar sounded amazing . " There you go , straight from the sound mans mouth .

[@Jeremya74]

He did say" the bass sounded amazing" he didn't say" the back up singer sounded amazing" he didn't say " your mic sounded amazing" he didn't say " you cords sounded amazing" ....😂

[@Paul-D]

loved it, educational and entertaining, I definitely didn't realise Terry was as big as he is in the Marshall story, Even though I knew his name formed part of the JTM I thought that was far more just a gesture from his dad! Makes it all the cooler to know he is still very much part of the company.

[@justynregini8532]

What a fantastic interview, and what a lovey and generous person Terry is. I must go to one of the Marshall open days. Great to see someone in the music manufacturing industry realising that it's not just all about profit, but listening to what experienced guitarists want, and giving back and helping young talented musicians come through the ranks as well.

[@tomshoemaker662]

Lovely interview Lee!! Terry’s clearly a wonderful man and it was fantastic to hear from him about the future of Marshall and his direct involvement. 👏🏻

[@compucorder64]

Even quite early Marshall amps can get's a lot of credit for the sounds that even lead even up to modern metal. Because EVH was using a stock Marshall Super Lead, with a Variac, for his debut album. And that sound influences even the sound of modern high-gain amps.

[@kevincothron5089]

Great interview. It is amazing to hear people like Terry that has been there and done that and has a great philosophy for life and music.

[@petesguitar]

Great to see Terry so well I like many others used to use the shop in Bletchley back in the 70s and had many a coffee made by Jim himself! It's quite funny to see people who are in awe of the fact that you are talking to Terry whereas despite all the world fame for a lot of people he's just a nice bloke who plays sax around Milton Keynes!

[@ClemsonJohnson]

This was special, thank you.

Two musical icons of the greater London area also being watch nerds: Lee of course wearing a Rolex, Terry wearing a Raymond Weil "Marshall Amplification" Limited Edition. Nice!

Loved this, thank you Lee. I bought my first Marshall (although it was a VST100R) and paid it up monthly, finally acquired a DSL last year.

[@myeyesarewaiting]

credit to Lee for clarifying that point about the voicing of the amps changing. That explains a lot. When in rehearsal rooms with early 90s JCM800s they were a nightmare to control. The frequency range of it was so wide, the lows were so low, the highs were so high. This totally explains that, and also why that old classic "brown sound" is so midrangey compared to the 90s amps.

[@mrdanjames]

As someone who works for the University that Pete Townshend went to (London College of Music - was Ealing Art College back then) this interview is great because it really showcases the artistic roots of West London.

[@peterwilliams8922]

I have many signed Marshall posters by Jim, I could never go to a guitar show where he attended and not say hello and thanks. Long live Marshall amps.

[@NetVoyer]

I love that this is still a family business. As big as Marshall is, it all comes down to a handful of people.
