[@dominicksforza3484]

Without Mark and his music that don AND mel stole it never would've happened, cause without Mark they're an overhyped cover band. How that prick don could do what he did to Mark and still be a semi healthy person only proves that Mark is a man of great character, class and incredible talent. F U don, F U mel for not warning Mark what don was doing.

[@deborraholiveri6202]

@@dominicksforza3484 exactly !!!! I just learned about the dirty deed betrayal. Disgusting ! Pure greed and jealousy ! And Don had the balls to take one of Mark's guitars which when Mark found out he called his lawyer and it was returned to Mark the next day . What a maggot !

Never got to see GFRR in their late 60s to mid 70s heydays b/c tix sold out so quickly. But I finally did in '97 with my then fiance. She wore bell bottom blue jeans and I wore a tie-dyed t-shirt and my hair as long as Mark's, except I wasn't (and still haven't @ age 63.7) losing any of it to balding. Now as much time has passed since that concert, as there was from the band's heydays until that concert....unreal!!

[@frankherrera935]

Underrated by whom? They were the hottest ticket, best live show of their time. In it's infancy, FM radio couldn't get enough of these guys. Underrated by today's generation that's hooked on 40 year old rap-crap and hip-hop? Who cares? Kids today think a great show has to include 40 half naked dancers dry humping on stage so it's their loss.

[@frankherrera935]

Compare GFRs version of "Give me Shelter" to the Stones. They literally kicked The Stones off the planet and made them sound like a lame garage band. So much great stuff came from these three (four later) monsters of rock.
