This genius never got the credit he so deserved. He is a guitar super star!¡!!!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Yes indeed I very much agree sir, He is a nice guy also & that's always refreshing.

[@zenlandzipline]

How much more credit does he deserve? He is frequently spoken about as a great player. He has had hundreds of guitar magazine articles written about him. He has even been featured in the cover of the top guitar magazines. Almost every guitar player over the age of 40 has heard him. He sells out the venues he plays, and has sold a lot of records. His contribution to the world of guitar playing (as far as influencing the playing of the instrument) is not on the level of Jimi Hendrix or Eddie Van Halen or some of the other greats. Sure, he has influenced many players, but not the tens of millions that Jimi or EVH or even Yngwie Malmsteen has. Frank has gotten plenty of credit as a great rock guitar player. I love Marino’s playing and his songs, as do many others. What more can you ask for?

[@theguitartemplepriest]

When I was first starting to play guitar I saw Cal Jam II on TV, I was waiting to see Ted Nugent & Aerosmith, they announced Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, I had never heard of him, I sat there with my jaw on the floor, the next day I went and bought Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live, he immediately became one of my biggest influences along with Angus Young, Michael Schenker & Eddie Van Halen, I saw him at Day on the Green in 79 and he was awesome, and he is criminally underrated.

[@slowfinger2]

That was an incredible show. Cal jam ll. Frank was practically dancing across his pedal board.

[@chriskroll4166]

Adjust remember that Ted Nugent came before all of those guys and back in 1965 when Ted was playing clubs with the Amboy dukes he was pioneering the use of feedback another guitar tricks that people like Eddie Van Halen would copy later. I am wondering who used feedback first. Eric Clapton or Ted Nugent. It might be a close tie . 😁

Frank and Robin Trower got thrown into the Hendrix bag. Both were so much more. Neither got the credit they deserved. Both brilliant guitarist!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I agree 2 billion percent, I am a Robin Trower fan

[@chriskroll4166]

Robin trower played it safe by never covering a Jimi Hendrix song but since Frank did cover Jimmy songs he got associated with Hendrix very fast. But he had so many originals that he was not a Hendrix clone . Not like Randy Hansen was .

[@theguitartemplepriest]

@@chriskroll4166 Hello there Chris, Never thought about that, its true I never heard a Hendrix tune from him, I am a big Robin Trower fan. I will find Randy Hansen and check him out.

[@chriskroll4166]

@@theguitartemplepriest well there are some guys that get heavily associated with Hendrix only because they are doing Hendrix songs like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Frank Marino and some others. But other guys like Robin trower sound like Hendrix but since they are not doing any Hendrix songs they are far removed from that same association. If you take a fender Stratocaster and plug it through a marshall stack and start playing b.b. King in Freddie King runs through tons of pedals you are naturally going to sound like Hendrix without even trying. Right away you will have an association to Hendricks just for the sound you're getting but if you start doing lots of Hendrix songs then you have to start explaining that to the critics because they will jump all over you. I love when Franco's Hendrix songs and I don't consider him a Hendrix rip-off if he does. To me it's just tribute. But the critics and many fans will think otherwise. And unfortunately that could hurt the poor guys career .

[@chriskroll4166]

I have seen Frank Marino five times over the years and he is definitely a master jammer . I got to meet him once backstage and spend a half-hour talking to him and he is such a sweet guy. He told me his favorite guitar players are Robby Krieger and John cipollina and Peter Green. He told me the first time he heard Jimi Hendrix that he did not get into him right away and it was a little later that he finally realized how great Hendrix was and was inspired by him. I mean when this man launches into a jam I would not want to stand next to him and want to have to go at it with him because he is a master gunslinger. I would put him up against anybody except for maybe Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page. I heard a long time ago that he jammed on stage with Ted Nugent during the seventies and I would love to see footage of that. I can't say enough about him. 🙏

[@coreymihailiuk5189]

Frank Marino was one of the early greats and I would say he flew below the radar for many people. Many years ago I saw him play here in Toronto with his brother Vince Marino playing second guitar. The show was simply jaw dropping. Frank never really got the recognition that he well deserved and that saddens me deeply. Had he been in the USA from day one things would have likely been different. Like many great Canadian artists, staying in Canada likely hampered his career.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Hampered Career - That might be so, I didn't know Vince was in the band, very cool, Family oriented guy I'd say, I Must check out Vince, Nice talking to you Corey, Curious How much were the Tickets ? You still in Canada ?

[@chriskroll4166]

Whenever I would talk to other guitar players about Frank they would always say the same thing that he is a Hendrix clone. I don't think so. He does enough of his own original material to not be a Hendrix clone . Maybe he should have stayed away from Jimi Hendrix songs. But he loves Hendrix and he can't help himself. Robin trower played it safe I never covering a Hendrix song so he could never be associated with Hendrix the way that Marino was. But Frank could out gun sling anybody on stage and I would put money on it . Plus he looks so freaking cool and all his leather . And he also had a nice mustache to boot . The atypical 70s pornstar mustache. 🙏

What a under rated monstrosity! jee mun nee crees muss! this guy's a guitar killer!!!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Certainly very famous in his day & today for that matter.

[@robertleven4449]

I agree with Frank, loook at what Columbia records put on his famous live album. I saw him at SF winterland in 78, they had the recording equipment there. Why is the majority of that live album, covers?

[@DaleBrotherton]

That was supposed to be a double album. The record company didn't allow it.

[@vincentlussier8264]

I'm from his hometown of Verdun Montreal! I saw him live at place de Nation in Montreal in 1978. He was touring his live album at the time. He was even in Guitar Player magazine one year. He is definitely one of our guitar heroes but he never got the respect from the rock community and yet he could wail like bastard. Our lousy Canadian rock hall of fame haven't inducted him either. Idiots!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Interesting, Was Frank Marino on the cover ? Of Guitar Player magazine I mean.. had I known I Would have Placed it in the video, Frank was a good guy perhaps he didn't kiss the toe's of the hall of fame people enough but I know what you mean , My 100th video is up next so please JOIN US & kindly tell a friend if you would Vincent, Appreciate it

[@dreamdiction]

For a short time Frank Marino played with a Welsh band called "Budgie", in the late 70s I saw film of Frank playing with Budgie but I can't find any video of it today. 11:09 Gibson SG with Strat pickups and tremolo.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Interesting I Didn't know that, would have loved to have gotten that video , thanks for viewing my 100th video is up now.

[@chriskroll4166]

Are you sure. I have every single budgie album and I know he's not playing on any album and I have heard lots of budgie bootlegs over two years and have never heard him with them on those. But I'm not doubting you. I just haven't seen proof of it yet. 😁

[@dreamdiction]

@@chriskroll4166 I don't know if Frank ever recorded an album with Bugdie but I DEFINITELY saw a video of Frank playing live in a TV studio with Budgie. I had no idea who Frank was, I only know it was him because he was verbally introduced as a new member of the band "Frank Marino." Budgie's compositions had gone a bit stale and Franks playing certainly lifted Budgie up to a higher level. Let me know if you find out more information.

Frank would have been massive if he'd gone to a full hard rock sound and songs. I always thought he was an awesome player and singer, but everyone I knew into hard rock, just couldn't get past all the jazz ballads.

Your welcome, I've been following mahogany rush for many years. Not many know of them, sad.

The world anthem, electric reflections of war. The thing about frank is that his best playing was jamming christmas carolls. Silent night etc. Screaming the melodies peircing ears melting tone. The only guitarist i can think of is shawn lane 'once upon time in the west. For guitarist a sum of matter

Coming from that background , a few of us have realize that our main initiative is living for God and being alive in God , thankful that he has brought us back from the brink of death , where many of our friends are now. Playing Spiritual guitar is just our expression of that knowledge.

Hmmm. I don't hear or see that. Mr. Cipollina RIP customized his SG's and played with a whammy bar etc.

[@lunarmist428]

@@wallisliss just the red SG with extended pick guard..what I meant...Marino on live solo in '79 used a lot of whammy.

[@chriskroll4166]

@@wallisliss if you don't see similarities between his playing and John cipollina is playing with Quicksilver then you don't listen to enough Quicksilver albums . He is a huge fan of John cipollina and also Robby Krieger and Peter Green. Pay attention to his solos and you will see all three of those inspirations in his style . 😁

Here before but.... One needs to mention Krank's :) SG. He put SC's in his about the time everyone was doing the opposite,,,HB in a Strat. What Frank did not only gave him the tone he loved but the playability he needed. I don't think anyone else did this. John Cippolina had modded SG's back in the day. Not like this.

He just isn't as good of a songwriter as he thinks he is. He never hired a dynamic powerful singer. Very few people want to just sit and absorb constant guitar shredding. I remember being trapped in a car in the backseat having to suffer through what seemed like two hours of Frank Marino and two much cigarette smoke way back around 1979. 😂😂 Still remember that 1971 Impala and wishing I had my own car! I kept saying turn this shit off and just turn on the fucking radio!

[@DizzyDez613]

Such a waste of talent. Booze and drugs robbed us of an incredible musician. Frank’s version of All Along the Watchtower is still my favourite version. Better than Jimi. Marino used to routinely show up to gigs too wasted to perform, and wouldn’t show up at all. Last I had heard, he was giving lessons in Montreal or something like that. It’s interesting to see newer footage of him performing.

[@realwillyparsons]

You cannot be more wrong. No drugs or alcohol since 1968! Also, never failed to show up at a booked gig. What are YOU smoking?
