What a breath of fresh air this is - finding a page dedicated to THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUITARIST. I've been a fan since back in '77 when ( at 12 yrs old ) picked up my own first piece of vinyl "Live", after an older friend said "this is guitaring" ! well it just blew ma away. Ever since I have been AND REMAIN the NO1 fan in all UK ! I've also converted many of my friends, who now confirm that Frank is probably better than Hendrix. I have every piece of vinyl issued and every CD and even compilations that have even just one track on them.The music press, in UK, should be locked up for their abysmal treatment of Frank in the music press over the years - I only wish I could have done something, then again they are the narrow minded ones and THE LOSERS ! Sadly I have never seen you live but as I will soon be resident in Canada I will make the journey, it si my ambition to see Frank before I pass on ! I have three interests in life, music ( especially anything that Frank does ! ), climbing and my wife - but not always necessarily in that order. Great thanks must go to Willy for putting together such a fab. page and, at last, a means of finding out updates on what is happening with Frank. I'm desperate for the release of th new album, I'm sure it will blow everyone away !! I find it hard to place my "Favourite album" as they are all pretty favourite in their own right, but particular tracks like "In my Ways"/"Poppy"/"Aint Dead Yet"/"Stories of a Hero"/"Ditch Queen" and "King Bee" are well up there. Keep the good stuff comin' Frank and I hope to catchya LIVE !

Hey broski.. I was thinkin the other day bout missin only three Vinyl records from my collection.. Then I went and got a pizza craving, and ended up next ta the record barn. I went in Looked for My favorite band in the whole friggin galaxy. Then on the floor in a box. In the front. Is a cherry copy of Power of rock and roll... Amazing aint it??? But no Jaugernaut.... No Whats next. Only had one. Only seen two... Then again. I only ever seen two Powers... So I bought 60$ worth of vinyl. He was havin a sale. Whata ya know?? Found that one.. Then I hear two out on CD.. I fragged sony with E-mail.. I have also in the last two months bought every one of your CDs.. I have always loved you. I stole Child of the novelty when I was 15 years old.. cause I liked the art... I pay cash now.. I play guitar now... Last time I saw you at The Caberet I bought ten Tickets and gave them to Nine of my best friends.. Man Times have gotten pretty bad for me in the past.. Some times I didint think I would make it.. and my dreams were dead like me.. I never let go.. There was a very small peice of me left... so far away that I had forgotten who I really was.. you know there has always been a light for me.. And in my darkest hour is when It showed the brightest... Thank you God for Rock and roll.. thank you Buddy for thinkin about me.. Silicon Valley Dreamer man.... Cabarets dead.. See ya at the Catalyst/Slims.. 333 ... Don,t be late..

When I was a teen I went through a phase where I was essentially hanging with strangers that I met over the CB radio. One of them was named H&D for hell and damnation. An ex biker who seemed to have a heart of gold. By that point in my life I had already decided Id heard and knew all the great guitarists. While "showing" my "knowledge" to H&D he mentioned Frank. I had never heard of Frank but I was a big fan of "Rush" so with a laugh I thought I would give in a chance. Two seconds into Power of Rock and Roll I realized that I was a young ignorant fool! Frank Quickly became one of my favorite guitarists and Power of Rock and Roll the album I judged other guitarists by. Ive seen Frank live once in San Fransico and he blew me away. I look forward to seeing him again. I wish you the best Frank and thank you for your wonderfull music.

I've been listening to Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush since I was 12. I happened to be going through Circus Magazine and I seen a ad for his new album" What's Next" and thought it looked pretty cool. We'll I've been a fan since and am still amazed at how incredible of a guitarist he is. I'm crossing my fingers that they will release my favorite album on cd soon, and I wish he would be added to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame listed with the top 10 players in the world as he certainly deserves to be. To this day he absolutley blows me away with his guitar riffs and licks. Frank, thanks for many years of absolute joy in listening to your music. Hope this tour brings you somewhere near Iowa this year. Cheers!

This is spooky, man! I'm sitting here listening to "In my ways" from the "World anthem" album and as I check my mail, I find the latest newsletter, saying that Frank is back touring again. I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me in this age of semi-automatic techno crap. I grew up on Hendrix, the Allmans, Leslie West, Grateful Dead and Jeff Beck and then in 1976, right after I had got my first electric guitar, I discovered Mahogany Rush through an older friend. And, basically, that's it. I've had my interludes with fusion players like Larry Coryell, John McLaughlin and even Allan Holdsworth, but I always return to Marino, Hendrix, Robin Trower, Tommy Bolin and those guys. Now I'm sitting here with my incredibly expensive Linn turntable that needs a new needle, my collection of lp's, and am refusing to buy a cd player. To my ear, there's nothing that can beat the sound of the old analogue recordings; much in the same way that I still prefer my '62 Strat and '63 Fender DeLuxe to any of the newer marvels. And, why should I have a cd-player anyway, when all the really great stuff is on vinyl? I can cope with Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and some others of those so called "alternative" acts, but they are really mere substitutions to what I consider really worth listening to. Not that I'm hostile to modern technology - I'm a computer addict and have a small business doing desktop publishing jobs and producing websites - but when it comes to music, it's all about COLOUR and PHRASING. A BIG THANKS to Willie for providing this wonderful service and to Mahogany Rush for all that great music!

My opinion on Frank hasn't changed in over 20 years. He's the best. I've seen him live over 30 times and he NEVER disappoints. I can't wait to see him on the upcoming tour. Looking forward to alot of old material as well as some new stuff! I hope this live set will be truely reflective of his entire career (Power Of Rock & Roll, Full Circle as well as the classic albums "IV", World Anthem"). As far as songs I'd like to hear live: "Tales Of A Spanish Warrior", "Ain't Dead Yet", "Man At The Back Door", "In My Ways", or "Had Enough". If Frank passes by this message, I would be remiss if I didn't say thanks for all the music, memories, and images over the years! Here's to you Frank! Your the best! Lookin' forward to your return the the concert scene.

Hey Frank and Willy, Frank, add me to the list of people from the Balto./Washington DC area that is begging you to come somewhere near this area. Extremely happy that the cds are coming out. Willy, thanks for your efforts on behalf of Frank and his fans, you deservea lot of credit for pulling us all together and bringing one of the best musicians ever back to the front where he belongs. Looking forward to it all so much, and thanks again, Frank, Willy, and everyone who e-mailed in the campaign to get the music out! To your health, Ron

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been searching for years for current info on Frank and every time I ask some "authority" on music, they ask me "Frank who?" To people who know music, there should be only one Frank who comes to mind when this question is asked. I've been a fan for about 20 years now and plan on being for as long as I can hear anything. The music put out by Frank is ageless and definitely cannot be heard enough. As for any particular song live, it does not matter because they are all unbelievably great!! There's not one album that I can stop once it starts. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU FRANK, TO COME THROUGH THE BALTIMORE, MD /WASHINGTON, DC AREA AGAIN. YES, I AM BEGGING!!

Frank, I last saw you at P.J. Flaraty's (sp) a bar outside of Chicago. There were many fans with tatoos of your album covers. One guy had World Antham and another guy had a portion of Strange Universe on his arm. The tropical drinks were great and it had begun to rain, Ha. I am thinking about getting a tatto and it will be the Tarzan Pinocchio with the Multi-colored Reggae Hair that is being held by the green devilish looking character. Hope to see you and your band back in Chicago soon.

ain't dead yet, young man, & woman were my favortites until I heard ditch queen! that is by far the most rippin song he does. now that I'd love to see live. I have a cd burner and I made my own compilations of my favorites. they talk about- satriani,ken wayne sheppard,micheal schenker (I"m also a huge ufo fan),mathias jabs,steve vai etc...the only guitarist close to him is micheal schenker (its to bad he's got the malmsteen attitude). since juggernaut I've been kind of disappointed. I've been looking for some video concerts of him preferrably late 80's, 90's any Ideas? till next time somethings comin are way

Hi Frank & Co. I bought yesterday Dragonfly- CD; the very best of FM & Mahogany Rush. The inner sleeve was , would I say, a bit bitter yet extraordinary frank i.e. straight action. I´ve been following your playing since 1977 and I like it a lot. I saw you in a concert in Helsinki ca. 1982. A concert were the neo fascist HelSingSingi cops find the feeling to high and the concert was interrupted for a while. You REALLY MOVED SOME AIR and Mr. Bierry BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF his drums. The best drum solo of all time. And I´ve seen many...! Your albums are a cornerstone of hard rock music. Try to overcome of all past time shitload. I´m 8 months younger than you and I share the feeling that at your forties one starts to see things diffrently, you know. Please, visit Finland if you visit Europe. You have a lot of followers here . My son plays Satriani kinda things but recently Mahogany Rush Lp´s have viped the dust out of my record palyer. Keep the SG in tune. You have lot´s to give.
