Frank ...I have been listening to your Music since I was in high school in 73-74. No one knows what you were about, and you made things different by your style of music I dont think your alot like Jimi Hendrix I think your unique cause of your Lyrics and how you play, you are very passionate about your music and I hope to see you in concert, live one day. If you ever come to Houston Ill be there, I havce always regreted not learning the Guitar, but listening to you play makes me feel like Im actually on the axe. God Bless you Frank

I was recently exposed to the music of Frank marino on XM radio channel 40 deep tracks. I am not some youngster that just started to listen to music but because broadcast music radio sucks we do not get to hear the best that is out there. I am 55 years old and love the stuff that you don't hear on comercial radio. Every time your music came on I would say to myself " who is this guy and why haven't I heard this before". I am going to get some of your cd's to try to catch up. I'll be lookiung for a live show in my area (West Palm Beach , Fl ) and hope to see you soon. Keep rockin......................Gary

Marino, why aren't you as big as the Stones? Your music is just , it moves me beond belief!

Frank Thanks again for showing me what life is really about ..........staying in touch with GOD 'S LOVE,. You are an Angel and thanks for being a part of my life ( when you really did'nt have to.) You helped me grow up but also grow wise.

Back in '78 I went to an Aerosmith concert in Greensboro, NC. The opening act was a band I had never heard of called "Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush." It was an awesome concert except for the fact that Aerosmith sucked! Steve Perry couldn't even play Dream On. (Thank goodness they've cleaned up their act nowdays and are also great in concert now too) Frank Marino blew me away... he's an amazing guitarist!! I hoped that his part of the show would go on all night! The very next day I went to the local record store and began my Mahogany Rush collection. On the "What's Next" album, there is a picture of Frank wearing a t-shirt I'd love to get. It had a picture of a blower unit from a dragster engine with the words "Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown!!" ... 1978 was a long time ago... I sure wish Frank and the boys would come back to this area so I could see him live again. If they do show up around here, I'll be the old fart down front bangin my head!!

Hi Frank
I am a drummer in a top shelf band and I am crazy about your work on the Juggernaught cd.
I grew up in the LSD crazed 70's too, and had a simular experience.

Frank,

My wife says "What, are you in love with this guy? This is all you've listened to for the last month (RealLive!)". I'm normally an "eclectic" music person but since I heard Strange Universe/Ode to Creation/Strange Universe on XM Deep Tracks I ran out and got your CD and it's been pretty much exclusively in my CD player and the XM is getting a little dusty. If you ever make it to Colorado I'll bring a whole posse with me to see it all LIVE!

Thanks for the great jams!

Randy

FRANK,REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR LIVE DVD MENTIONED IF IT HAPPENS.I HAVE AN OLD COPY OF DON KIRSHNER WITH YOU AND A '70S MONTREAL SHOW BUT BOTH ARE REAL POOR QUALITY-WAVY LINES AND MULTI-GENERATION BASTARD TAPES.DO YOU OWN THE MASTERS OF ANY LIVE VIDEOS FROM EARLIER YEARS FOR POSSIBLE RELEASE?I KNOW ITS OFTEN NOT WORTH AN ARTISTS TIME TO PAY SOME MERCENARY A BIG CUT FOR A RECORDING IF NOW HE'S FREE TO GO RECORD AND OWN THE RIGHTS TO HIS NEW RECORDINGS.

I saw Frank Marino blow the Winter brothers off the stage in Charelston Wva. back in the 70s. They turned the lights on half way thru their show & I had never seen that before or since.

Just pulled out a tape of juggernaut I bought a million years ago. I haven't heard this stuff in years. It's amazing how the sound and the songs still hold up to today's standards of production! I gotta get some CD's of this guy! I forgot how great he is!

Recently introduced to Franks world by a good friend of mine who saw him play live in London 2005.

After listerning to his music, I am definatly part of Franks wonderful world.

Frank

i just bought real live! at a local best buy-wow!!!! i was totally impressed! this blows away double live-the song selection is excellent.thankx,frank!

:Frank rules, I am a huge fan. my first live show was at the boston garden when mahogany rush opened for Ted Nugent. WOW!!!!!

Having grown up listening to Hendrix, Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, etc, when I stumbled across IV, I was floored. I saw you in the late 70's or early 80's someplace but have no idea where. Hey, it was the times.
I have most of the early stuff on CD and have What's Next in the CD player at present.
Keep up the great work. Far too many of the great ones have moved on and it is WONDERFUL to still have you and rockin'.

Frank Marino is singlehandedly responsible for my lifes focus during my earlier years, playing guitar. I saw him many times in the seventies the first time being in Pittsburgh in 78 or 79. It was Foriegner, Ted Nugent, and Mahogany Rush. I couldn't believe Frank went on before the other two bands because he was SO MUCH better than the other two... combined.

I pretty much went out the next day and spent all my paper route money on IV, and World Anthem and a Les Paul (the SG seemed awkward to me at the time). I finally got my jaw back up off the floor in 81 or 82 and ended up at Berklee College of Acid er... Music.

The next 20 years of my life were all about the guitar and rock music. I obviously never got a record deal but I made several life long friends and learned to really hate the business. Rock music was never about getting a deal to me, it was about a very special form of communication. Of course the fact that I'm a horrible singer could have something to do with it too, DOH!

I'm a web developer in Boston now. I put the guitar down for a real job when my daughter was born (and I hit 40) and have no regrets because I gave it everything I had.

To this day I just can't understand the lack of mainstream exceptance of Franl's music. Why the cover tunes were the hits (roadhouse etc..) I suppose its more about the music and less about the schmooze for Frank... thats cool.

I remember when Van Halen came out, I was like "that's great but... pffft, Frank Marino was doing that years ago". The airplane/dog fight/explosion/wammy/octavia/mayhem thing from the "California Jam" record, sheeesh, that is guitar history.

Thanks Frank, and have a great day, its beautiful out.

Frank, I saw you at Alex cooleys Electric Ballroom in 74 or 75. It was in the basement of the Georgian Hotel in Atlanta Ga. I was really impressed with your performance as you can tell to remember it. I'll bet you remember doing that gig too. glad to hear you are still performing. Larry Allen Cleveland Ga

Hello Frank,

Very recently I received your REAL LIVE CD, which I ordered by your web site. Big was my surprise, it was signed by yourself. I extremely appreciate
that you are so close to your fans.
I can say the REAL LIVE was marvelous: First CD bringing me to my roots; the second one more jazzy, giving me the opportunity to discover new horizons.
I started collecting music a long time ago, and discovered you with your fourth album at the time it came out. Here in Belgium people do not know you so well, but I can say from the 1000's of groups I have in my collection, you're one of the best. You ask to choose my favorite album, but truly that is not really possible. They are all wonderful, and all different at the same time. That is quite unique in the music business.

That's all I wanted to say.

Keep on rocking!! All the best
