Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, "I`m A King Bee", Ottawa 1998.

[@StepOnLegos1]

Frank seems to be the only guitarist that can play in such modes and keys over a slow twelve-bar blues and can keep me interested the entire time that I can't help but truly enjoy it with no boredom.

[@albertbideaux534]

Would love to know about the 10 who gave this a thumbs down!......without a doubt, the best guitarist I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live and listening to in my life

[@williampatterson5067]

One of the greatest damn guitarists to ever grace a stage.

[@hondamancl450]

That was fuking amazing 👏 what a great performance

[@dannycokin9238]

Seen this guy play in Toronto from 1983,going to miss him live play.Thanks Frank......

[@countrysamurai]

Brilliant! Truly one of the most underrated Guitarists who have ever walked the Earth! Damn Frank could play that axe!

[@BlickInStead]

Maybe less known than underrated?

[@hondamancl450]

Amazing guitarist and great singer he's up there with SRV 👍

[@myoldmate]

The sound on this is magnificent.

[@frankiebguitar]

Guy is seriously underrated. What a monster performance. Thanks. Time to shut down the computer and pick up my guitar.

[@BlickInStead]

I was there. Johnny Winter that night too...

Great Frank, great tone, great music, fantastic!!!!!!

[@gaff0173]

Saw Frank and his band in 1977 at concert in Castlberry Fl. I was only 16. It was my first of many rock concerts in the 70s. He was the lead band for Sammy Haggar and Nazareth. What a concert. Very loud! To say he left a lasting impression is an understatement. I remember almost every song they played and not much from the other bands. Simply put, his talent was by far the best that I can remember and I witnessed some amazing concerts back then( Nugent, Boston, AC/DC, Frampton etc.)

[@GBeret83]

One of rock's all-time great guitarist. Very overlooked and unappreciated. IMO.

[@charles56737]

That was Freaking Fantastic!

[@PaulRoseGuitar]

Wonderful playing

[@PaulRoseGuitar]

Fantastic, not too saturated. I hear the Gibson and not a lot of pedals. Very nice.

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

i want to thank all the TRUE fans of FRANK that have posted comments on my vids! lets face it- we are here for him and he is ALWAYS THERE FOR US! take care all.... and always... always.. remember to- ROCK ON!!! RUSS.

[@namnoiz]

The new Hendrix ? Not even. Frank Marino deserves a pedestal of his own !!!

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

greetings to all my fellow FRANKSTERS!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOY- ALWAYS- ROCK ON!!!! RUSS! hey mahoganymarino! give my best to ALEXANDER!

[@Xialong1963]

I saw FM&MH back in 1980 or 81 on a tour called The Rock and Roll Marathon. Axe, Angel, Humble Pie and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. What a great night for a teenage guitar aspirant! $5.00 for the show, $5. 00 for the shirt and a lifetime of memory all in one package.

[@Bluez4620]

The Master: few simple words and chords to change any ones day or life. Rock stars know his influence.

[@havanakim]

Hendrix King ? Never ........Frank Marino the ultimate axe man. Guy does passion like no other. He has always delivered the music and soul to music. The World Number ! Canadian axeman FM x

[@WileECoyotey]

I love how he goes from normal to Frank Overdrive ...

[@myoldmate]

Yep hell for leather. Just chillin' then hang onto your hat. Meastro.

[@gt150glas]

Started playing at 14 mastered the guitar and cut an incredible album by the time he was 18 (Maxoom). Now that"s Talent.

[@charles56737]

Isn't it

[@ethicomm]

Tales of the Unexpected...that song continues to amaze after all these years!

[@1971SuperLead]

Sweet tone and tasteful licks. I will be jamming to this video a few hundred times.

[@sawdust5]

The first time I saw Frank play was in Cleveland ,Oh. at the Public Hall. He was kickin' his guitar around the stage. After that life wasn't the same.

[@mwales2112]

I have been a Frank Marino Fan since I first heard him in the mid 70's.. I really enjoy his style..

[@guyfidelity]

Soooooooooo good saw him in Toronto a few weeks back the guy is a freak. As a musician - and no I'm not a guitar player - and it was one of those jaw dropping once in a lifetime, this guy can't be this good moments. Shaking my head in amazement, truly frightening it was. On all levels - tone, feel, skill, control, dynamics, just everything flawless. Hats off Frank, and thanks.

[@charles56737]

You could not have said that better. He is mind blowing

[@bigsteve1057]

Thanks!! Big fan since late 70's.Saw him live in the early 80's .He is a guitar god!!! Bought "real Live" cd 2 years ago LOVE IT!!!! Blast it at my cottage all the time!!

[@ValiRossi]

I saw this guy live at a place called club dimension in hammond Indiana in the early 90's. Been a fan since 1980. He does this little jazz piece at the end of "It's begun to rain". It's awesome.

[@sebastianfibes2126]

Dammit Frank. You are the King Bee.

[@Bluesman9830]

I first heard Frank & Mahogany Rush in the mid 70's. I joined a record club & one of the records I got was Child Of The Novelty. Been a fan ever since.

[@chafunras]

Ilove this Music since 25 year, but this guy comes never to switzerland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pawb1o]

well......., can i follow? no. can I play? yes. can i aspire? yes, can I achieve? only with time..................... holy craaappppp, what a monument to guitar playing.......to take king bee and make it your own.. what a pleasure.. too bad it isn't the whole thing.....

[@mastrorj68]

Mad at my guitar player who ive known since i was 11 and he never turned me on to this guy unitl 3or4 years ago. Frank is amazing and younger kids need to listen to this instead of the bullshit they do. im only 25 and i know music aint as good as it used to be

[@groovemon]

Still has a nice touch.

[@Martinincanada]

With this song started my love for the BLUES! Thanks Frank!

[@havanakim]

MMmm the best rendition of the best blues song by the the Best Guitarist Ever....... Frank Marino..........M

[@BlueLou974]

I think that Slim Harpo's rendition was not so bad.

[@cast390]

+2quundar Nobody asked you..

[@giftedplanksify]

[@xciteful]

[@nownzen77]

[@76Soco]

[@SandyCheeks68]

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

He has not quit smoking....but his shoulder and mobility are almost back to normal....and he IS finishing the dvd work...Russ

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

[@OlymPigs2010]

I heard Frank's amazing version of King Bee first on the album California Jam2 - that was a faster version plus the sound system they used then was primo too!

[@alanmorri]

Nice!!

[@rayjr62]

That is great to hear that Frank is almost 100%. Maybe he'll consider quitting smoking down the road. Thanks for the update. Love Frank's work. Hope he plays the bay area (San Jose) sometime in the future.

[@GDS1581]

well said.

[@brainlock162]

"To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty; to be a poet at forty is to be a poet." Eugene Delacroix Sorry, I love Hendrix as much as anyone, and yes, he was an old soul who was wise beyond his years, but THIS my friend is what happens when you get some years on your playing. And this was recorded ten years ago. I saw Frank last fall and he was as potent as ever. To those who try to compare guitarists, it's like trying to compare flowers or children or philosophies. Just hush and enjoy...

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

Frank`s last tour was in 2010....he hasn`t toured the last couple of years...right now he is having some health issues...but he hopes tour again in the future...Russ(he is also editing a dvd that was filmed in Cleveland on the 2010 tour) Russ

[@benthemiester]

He has always been a solid state guy.

[@yobs17]

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

[@BryanDraughn]

[@stratmanxx]

I remember I had a 8 track of Frank, Man I'm freakin ancient! LOL

[@vimanasguitar69]

He is a guitar god.

[@mapearce1]

Might have been CJ2,....I think I was there,...hell if I can remember,...thought I heard some Aerosmith and Nugent there too! And Santana,...and it was in Ontario, CA,....nope,...must have been a different concert! Hazy days those were,...

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

hey L1827, i do have the entire show, posted on tube. the rest of BACK DOOR MAN, IS IN HERE TOO! please browse, and enjoy! rock on!!! russ.

[@havanakim]

Frank Marino. Guitar...........

[@nicedog1]

Can anybody tell me what Frank is playing from 4.39 - 4.57. It sounds so jazzy and I dont seem to be able to replicate it when playing blues myself. Does he go into a particular scale or is it pure improvisation? It's been bugging me for 26 years ever since I heard him on an album called 'Guitar Wars'.

[@elvisleeft]

very very good!!! Where can i see Part 2 i LOVE this man and i am not gay ..HAHA

[@vawakamigudu]

Frank Zappa! R.I.P. Once called him the World Best Guitar Player after Jimi Hendrix.

[@georgemorris4142]

I think the camera man was at Oktoberfest.

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

hey L1827, everything, is not from the same disc. i`m tryin to refine things. hope to work the bugs out for the broment show- soon. rock on! russ.

[@pawb1o]

@eric1love he is playing right next to the bridge.

[@stratmanxx]

yea only one, and i got it from a friend. I think if it wasn't for Frank, I prob. wouldn't have picked up the Guitar.Him along with the other Greats( Hendrix,Page,S.R.V,Beck and the list goes on.

[@colerf]

@Syzygy60 no that is Peter Dowse

[@h2ofield]

Who is doing the fills?

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

I just got to wonder what kind of music the 3 stooges that gave this thumbs down think is good?!

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

@paul3628 so it has kind of grown on you? lol thanks for the comment...russ

[@themarkgamble]

I don,t think Frank has the recognition in Great Britain that he richly deserves.He is a very fine Blues guitarist-perhaps he got a bit lost (along with Gary Moore)in the 80s.I didn,t know until today that he plays a GibsonSG as well-mine is called Marlene-he has good taste!

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

@pawb1o the rest of it is posted .....russ

[@FrankMarinoMahoganyRuss]

@DavidFrazier100 go to my homepage and hit play on the player....(scroll on the vids too..i have 115 vids..the whole show is posted in segments) Russ

[@rileyraccoon9108]

Where is he playing now? I saw him in the 70s

[@rayjr62]

I hope Frank quit smoking. And I am responding from your post that is almost a year old- I hope Frank is doing better.

[@roman14032]

hes got a pickup behind the bridge now! jesus who the hell would of ever thought of that? only FM

[@havanakim]

The World Champion . Love Vai . But he couldn't sit at same table..............

[@EricAll4soundsAlbert]

Don't skip thru to listen but at 8:15, WTF ,how's he doing that????

[@shawkme]

i don't think he really over did the effects. i thought it was kinda cool actually.

[@robinhorne7644]

It is great.Sounds like Johnny Winter at 904..Why do many great guitarists have such crappy bass and drummers.

[@SuperBluesman56]

So,they can't steal the show!

[@mapearce1]

8-tracks were great! Didn't have to keep flippin' the vinyl and reminding friends that LP's were NOT beer coasters!! Yikes,...starting to sound as old as dirt!

[@todd0000420]

HA! bet none of you can play that lick at 8:16

[@deathlesshorsie]

lol

[@talmaneloc]

i hope he get's better from tal

[@beardfish8]

if you call harmonics and playing by the bridge effects, then sure he uses those in the last couple of minutes... but using an instrument to its full potential is the mark of a good musician, not a hack.

[@machine1763]

Wanna play Jazz anyone??Fuckin jazz blues and where is guitar player mag or guitar world or?????????????
