Yes I also think that Frank is one of the best guitarists to every come around. Why he never gained the respect he deserved from the record labels I'll never know. I knew that Frank had alot of albums out there, but after going thru the albums link on your website I had no idea that it was that many. Happy Anniversary and congratulations on your website. Is there any information on any upcoming tour dates for Frank. I've traveled from portland to palo-alto for a UFO concert last year, so coming down to see Frank would be the best show of the year (if there are any scheduled). Sincerely, Pianobass

I hear some people say Frank Marino is a Jimi Hendrix Copy cat. I personally don't see this,but even so who cares? Jimi Hindrix would probably sound like Frank Marino were he alive today! Jimi never had the recording capabilities of today so how & why would you compare them. I'd a lot rather hear Frank sing than Jimi anyway. I noticed on the fan statements that the words were un-readable because they were in yellow on a white background though. On my computer I couldn't make out any of the responses. Any way I love Frank's music and hope to hear more studio stuff soon ! Barry Mitchell

I saw MH at the Agora in Cleveland twice when I lived there. The local station, WMMS, used to have these things called "Monday Night at the Agora". This featured MH twice. The great thing was that on the following Tuesday night the would rebroadcast whatever show had played that Monday. I recorded both of them. The 1st one is the same as the bootleg. The 2nd one is from just after "Strange Universe" was released. They were great. Very loud and strobe lights during the national anthem. Keep it hardcore and keep it coming !! For even more mind melting entertainment, check out a band called Hawkwind.

Frank, I have not heard anything about you in a while. I thought you were dead. Thank God for the Internet. You should have played at Woodstock 99 and showed all those no talented, white rapping, clueless bands what real talent is. PLEASE COME BACK TO CONNECTICUT! (New York would be fine) I just turned a 24 year old coworker onto your music. Gotta keep it going and going!! Your the Best!!!!

Ever since hearing A New Rock and Roll, I was hooked. No one captures the raw emotion like Frank.Definitely the most overlooked guitar hero ever. Thanks for the page to let us real fans give our props and thanks to Frank for all your great music

Hello Frank and Fans, My first memories of Frank and his unique sound was listening to a San Diego station as a young adult in my older brothers car. I scrambled to find an album by him and was sold "Rush's" self titled L.P. instead. Although it was decent, I still wasn't happy until I found "Child of the novelty". I remember the tune was from that album and remember the great sound. It sounded exceptionaly good on numerous ocasions blazing on good sensamilla buds grown in So. Cal and as well on the good L.S.D. going around then."Frying listening to Franks early tunes and looking at the faces moving on the album covers was especially cool!" But then the greatest live shows that I have ever exienced were yet to come. Honestly, the best live show I ever saw to this day was Frank Marino & Mahogony Rush with Judas Priest opening at Warners Theater in Fresno. The strobe light on the disco ball and Jim Ayoubs drum solo followed by "The World Anthem" always brought the crowd to continue cheering for Frank to return to play several additional songs. We never wanted to see the night with Frank end. I have seen the best of the guitars.As many as I could anyway. I've seen Eddie Van Halen, Richie Blackmore and Black Sabbath, to Jethro Tull, Aerosmith, Motley Crue and Def Lepard. All paled in comparison to the times I've seen Frank. I know I wont ever be able to relive those days but I am still looking forward to more music from Frank and whoever he has playing with him. Keep me posted on any new music or tour dates at or near Fresno Ca. Peace Jimbo!

All the people on this board have all too clearly expressed their feelings about your music - I have those same great feelings when I listen your music. Just when I started playing guitar at the age of 14, I heard Go Strange on the dutch radio. I went nuts, got a copy of Power Of rock n Roll and am hooked ever since! Of my vinyl collection of 300+ records I saved about 20, and all your records are in there (you are to blame for me still having a vinyl-player in the house wink. When I have some more cash, I plan to get all your material on CD; hope that will get you some cash to buy some more dipers for your newly-born. Congrats, from the City Of Amsterdam. ONE MORE THOUGHT: Frank, DO record again and again and pleeeeeeeeez, hit the stage here in Europe as I've never seen you live...

I saw Frank for the first time in 1979 at the Long Beach Arena. It was set up ampitheatre style and the light show was the best I had ever seen. I saw Frank again in Long Beach on the bill with Russia, a local band, Angel, a group of glam-rock wanna-be's, and Humble Pie. Frank was the headliner and provided us with an outstanding show. Including a 45-minute guitar solo. I still have the L.A.Times review of the show. Then I saw and talked with Frank at the Salinas Show in 1983. At the Sherwood Hall. Remember the titles of the albums seem to have a story when read together. I gave Frank a copy of the list of titles, before the show. I also asked Frank about "Strange Universe", and told him how I had found a pristine copy in the Used bin at Cheap Thrills Records in San Luis Obispo, California, after I had talked to Frank at Columbia Records in New York while he was mastering the Juggernaut album. That night in Salinas was recorded for the BBC Rock Hour. Frank pulled out Strange Universe. He also performed Poppy. The next time I saw Frank was in the LA area in 1989 at the Coach House also another nightclub in Redondo Beach, unfortunatly the Riverside County dates were canceled. Frank really wowwed us with great verisons of Poppy, different each night, and many favorites. Frank I now Live in Chico, California, the Music scene here is outstanding. There are free shows in the downtown park twice a week, Wednesdays it's the Music Revolution from 6 to 8:30 pm and on Fridays they have the DCBA Friday Night Concert Series from 7 to 8:30 pm. We have a number of great clubs that have live music every weekend. Please come to Chico. Randy was here, Pat Travers is comming in August. Robin Trower has been here. David Lindley was here, Merl Saunders was here. Please come to Chico Play at the University, Play at the 319 Club, Ask for Curtis or Doug, tell them Scott Sent You. Play at the Brickworks, Play at LaSalles Please Come To Chico. Because this is a Strange Universe and what the world needs is MORE ROCK 'N ROLL BANDS. Scott H.
