MVP (Mark Varney Project) - Centrifugal Funk - Love Struck

[@franckbuck8455]

Brett Garsed...wtf he is so good!!

[@PapaDudeness]

Incredible TJ Helmerich at the beginning here... And then the classic gang.

[@pinkcloudai]

I listened to this 1000 times before I noticed the punch-in during the solo at 3:50 and now it hits me like an icepick to the brain every time. Now you'll hear it as well!

[@josephadillon]

Frank Gambale has never disappointed. From passages, the first album I heard, to the best of the acoustic side, his versatility has always been jaw dropping and thoroughly amazing. Not to mention the musicians he's played with.

[@wattage2007]

WTF. I lived and breathed this album 30 years ago, I've never heard the guitar intro to this track in my life.

[@pinkcloudai]

Same. My CD had a track called "Lane's Blitz" or something that was 20 seconds of Shawn Lane defying physics, which isn't included here.

[@wattage2007]

@@pinkcloudai Yup, Lane’s Blitz on mine too.

[@Sundown-kt7pr]

He is T.J. Helmerich

[@bartlebob]

Crazy era man, very skilled players..unlike now where mediocrity is the norm.

theres lots of good players nowadays things are starting to turn around now that people have access to stuff like this

[@komodo117]

As far as individual tone goes, Gambale has such a more defined, articulate sound. I love his phrasing. Everyone else still kills it though. This entire album is masterful. Everyone is on point the whole way through.

[@juanma9137]

TJ!!!!!!

[@RobertWeingher]

I have this cd but without this track, it's such a shame, it is really good

[@GG-pc3bc]

Wow! Pretty song!

[@zafira976]

Tj is just one of a kind and simply amazing!!! He should have more recognition and appreciation from the guitar world...in the of the day I think there's enough Satriani and Vai worshipers on the plannet, when people like Tj have taken guitar playing light years away from where it used to be in the days of the so called 80s "Guitar Gods"!!!

[@CesarClouds]

Awesome.

[@rapidtranq]

Frank Gambale from 3:06 until 6:14; Brett Garsed from 6:15 until 7:55

If ur hearing this the first time pay attention at the end here 09:10

[@ShivaKumar-gs7nb]

That's Brett Garsed!!!

[@coisa985]

@@ShivaKumar-gs7nb actually I meant at 9:10, so that forced melodic harmonic is brett garsed's doing? I always thought is was gambale's

Yeeesssssssss❤️😍🥇🤘🏻

[@Green-Bean1]

Dude what the actual fuck….🤤

[@Green-Bean1]

My brain melted during the intro solo

[@PapaDudeness]

SuperCocksuckinggoog That little Shawn Lane solo piece (which Shawn didn't really like by the way) you're talking about does not exist in this 2004 reissue of the album. This 1 minute solo in the beginning of "Love Struck" is the only new addition to the classic "Centrifugal Funk" album, and it's obviously T.J. Helmerich playing here (no one else sounds like this). So, no "Lane's Blitz" here.

[@ziegunerweiser]

Shaun asked for it to be removed I heard

[@Truthinshredding1]

Shawn hated the solo

[@stevejames2198]

Wasn't the story with "Lane's Blitz" that Shawn was simply doing a warmup and Mike Varney recorded it without Shawn knowing, and he [Varney] released it later, much to Shawn's chagrin? "Lane's Blitz" showed up on one of the Shrapnel artist compilation CD's I received in the mail back in the early 90's, that's the only reason I never heard it. And for what it's worth, warm-up/practice or not -- it was simply amazing..!! :)

[@Ebriel0000000]

You're right : the 36' recorded warmup called "Lane's Blitz" is something else ;-) Hum even if Shawn wasn't in the first MVP album (it was Gambale and Holdsworth... with a much better drummer), this one is weaker. Thanks to all of the guys : this final track is a big thing anyway.

[@carolinanataliafosco6388]

Why this album is not available in Spotify?

[@desiert]

Ojalá estuviera

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

Because Spotify sucks major donkey balls!!

[@fuckfuckinshit]

Cuz spotify dont know good music

[@5150mili]

IIt's available on YT music, you have to change the app 😉

[@franckbuck8455]

because they are zero

[@kenheinrich8859]

Sorry should have said the 90s had the best Fusion ever

[@chatonviril4388]

Insane Francky

[@kstrat]

Wow...known about this album for years but only heard a few tracks. This is the first time I've heard this particular one... is actually a revved up cover of guitarist Jesse Johnson's tune which appeared on his 1988 album ""Every Shade Of Love". Just thought I'd point it out since it isn't mentioned in any of the other comments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYnOlqOtq6mFnsk

[@coisa985]

But this version is not on the 1991 right? this is a another version cause in the one Ived downloaded it is 8:26 so bad it does not have this sick intro

[@Ebriel0000000]

Not exactly an intro. TJ Helmerich preluding solo is another piece.

[@Frisbieinstein]

Great shredding. I wish there were a few chord changes though.

[@thewestfaceofdhaulagiri6697]

Centrifugal Funk was put out in in 1991 not 2004

[@franckbuck8455]

that what I was thinking! 32 years old wtf!! crazy good... nobody invented something till

[@hadmishka107]

2004 is remastered ver !

[@lucaletto]

great garsed intro

[@PapaDudeness]

+luca aletto It's T.J. Helmerich (check the description).

[@Reanimatorhead]

When it comes to smooth legato phrasing TJ & Garsed are unbeatable.... not even Shawn Lane could play like that. But Shawn eats them in all other levels though...

[@ziegunerweiser]

TJ was a 8 finger tapper so he could do things they can't, Jennifer Barton played like that so did Jeff Watson from night ranger, I think you can hear it on you can still rock in America.

[@TheAlbiCollier]

8 finger tapper yet Lane played faster than them all haha! No disrespect intended...

[@interestingthings8598]

could anyone put times when and who plays, please?

[@RezaManzoori]

4:22

[@eruptionfreak]

Which Player Played the intro to this?

[@rutyniarz]

MKM565 Garsed

[@NickManJams]

I have a physical copy of the album and TJ Helmerich is credited with the intro. Also, if you’ve ever heard TJ’s work, you’ll find it easy to distinguish that it’s him playing here.

[@alexjackson8841]

@@NickManJams Yeah, sounds nothing like Garsed at all

They should've never changed that intro.

[@jaminguy2795]

Shawn hated it and didn't want it on the album.

[@kenheinrich9579]

I like garsed better than gambale but shawn is the best

[@snuppssynthchannel]

I disagree. Gambale is the more advanced improviser, Although Shawn got the cleanest tone. Fantastic players all three of them, although I rank Holdsworth the highest among guitarplayers, he was not just the most innovative of all of the fusion guitarists but he was also much more advanced in most respects although not as versatile. RIP Allan Holdsworth.

[@franciscojavier980]

I love Frank, but Garsed is a ridiculous improviser too... at least, in the same league that Gambale.. Check his song Burgers in Bed where improvise without see the mastil and with closed eyes... AMAZING

[@SizeTenBiscuit]

Love them all but Allan was the King IMHO

[@Marmelademeister]

Sounds a bit like Guthrie Govan was playing this.
