Frank Marino performs "Something's Comin' Our Way" in an excerpt from the live BluRay/DVD 6 hour concert available now. Feel free to share the link! BluRay/DVD available at mahoganyrush.net/dvd
Frank is such a monster guitar player. He never sold out to the labels & remained true to his music. Just one of the many reasons why nobody sounds anything like Frank Marino. I tried for 20 years to sound like Frank Marino just to come to the conclusion that know one could ever really sound like him. All hale Frank Marino the most bad ass rock guitarist of all time!!!!🙌🏻
10 pont's for this...still spreading the word for so called next generation about real MUSIC. You just need right combination of tech and mojo...and do not sell yer soul for the devil,
Yeah the original drummer was Jimmy Ayoub Hawaiian I met him a couple times awesome dude man humble great dude they all were and the brother Vince Marino played rhythm there my favorite band ever anywhere anytime keep on trucking$$$$$$
I was very honored and blessed to be a small part of Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush's history. I got a chance to play, tour, record and most importantly, become a friend with one of my guitar influences, and learned so much from this experience. Thank you Frank and God Bless you,...Peace Mick
Mick Layne and David Goode played on the Eye of the Storm album released back in 2000. It seems like it was just yesterday when the album was released. Frank would participate in the old MR website chat room. It seemed like Rockin' Rick and GL would hang out in the chat room 12 hours a day. Man, time flies once you get past 30 years of age. When I was in my 20's just one year seemed like 15 years for some reason.
I went to see Triumph, along with some guy I'd never heard of before called Frank Marino, in 1981 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX. Triumph put on a great show, but it was Frank Marino who MOVED MY SOUL at that concert and gained a forever fan because of it.
His melodic playing blows me away, yet, he can shred with the best of them, and then he slips into the jazz/fusion mode and sounds like Alan Holdsworth. He is mind boggling.
@@jonno63 A shoulder injury from doing the editing of this same video you see that took years for him to do because the original drum tracks were lost and he' not only tried to get his brother Vince who left the band later on who said it couldn't be done because the technology at the time wasn't available at recording studios so he spent the time to design his own software for a computer to do this . If you look on his website he said when doing this it was like cutting your lawn with a scissors one blade of grass at a time having to do those lost drum tracks ! Look into it more on his website and you will see all kinds of stuff he did Plus questions others ask about all kinds of stuff .
Im a drummer, started playing in 1975 and all great bands blend the Gibson with the Fender with unmatched tonal quality. This is the 1st time I have heard an SG CRY like this. Im blown away. His timing is incredible and so is the band. ROCK SOLID GOLD.
It's probably due to the strat style single coils hes got in that SG. No humbuckers, just noticed that awhile ago. Hes king for sure. I get bored with shredders like yngviae,vai,bhead etc. Not with frankie baby,I could listen to him all day,class and style like nobody else, just super talented, and gifted.
Frank Marino, the wrecking ball of all guitarists Rock, Jazz ,blues You all have your opinions, but I had the pleasure seeing many of top bands of the 70's. Many of the groups Styx, UFO. REO, Montrose, BTO, Foghat, , Van Halen, Kansas, Sabbath, Triumph, Skynard and a lot of others. All had great lead guitars players, but Frank was at a level above that was just amazing.
An “SG” man like he was born with it attached to him and I swear to god that he is just like fine aged wine. He’s even better now than he’s ever been. You gotta love music like this.
He sounds awesome with those DiMarzio Virtual Vintage single coils in those SGs. I think it's also that mahogany is a very warm midwood and a bright popping pickup like a single coil or P90 really make it pop and balance out well. It works great for his style. I think the tone he has at this Agora concert is one of the finest live guitar tones ever recorded, straight from the stage PA. Frank is a completely out of the box, unconventional player. He thinks for himself stylistically and when it comes to how he builds his rig. He's used a lot of solid state and seems to prefer it. He designs his own pedal-based preamps and everything. Brilliant dude.
I’ve seen Frank 3 times live, there is no other show that I’ve been to where I walked out asking “what the hell just happened?” He is the most underrated and looked over guitarist I’ve ever seen or heard. Freakin’ amazing talent
I've been there my friend! February 22, 1982 ...Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads, about 3 weeks before he was killed in the plane crash. I was a drummer then (switched to guitar in 1985) so I was there to see who I thought was Lee Kerslake the recorded drummer for Blizzard and Diary. Then I see this skinny blonde kid playing guitar! It was like the building was lifted off the ground and onto my head.
Lost count how many times I've seen him around Detroit with Mahogany Rush back in mid 70's. Usually it was what they billed as a "battle of the bands" against The Amboy Dukes.
@@peach495 Battle of the feedback guitars. That's how it was advertised in KC. "See Ted Nugent levitate by the power of feed back alone". Those were the days my friend. we thought they'd never end.
I saw him 3 times too. 1st time was a big band and strange dreams. Realy good show. played for ever. Next time small band and no strange dreams. OK show, didn't play too long. The third time same small band, no strange dreams and he opened up for S.R.V.. Stevie Ray stole the show hands down.
Don kirshner's Rock Concert ! Aired in St Louis Missouri at 12am Every Saturday night in the early to mid 70's , Myself and 7 to 15 friends would all walk up to my house from the local bar,, where we had been hammering on a Killer Fosse ball table... Just to watch such great bands and musician's like Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush,,, I do believe he actually played,,, The Micky Mouse Theme,,, Very wickedly,,, With his Teeth as i recall,,, Anyone else recall ever seeing such a thing?
Someone who is evidently so lonely, bored, live a pathetic miserable life that NO one will talk to him or her and desperately seeking the attention they never got as a child....just saying 🙄🥴😌
Frank has an endless sea of talent and I am so grateful to have experienced his Music and talent. He is in my opinion one of the greatest who ever strapped on a guitar. His Music will go with me to my grave ❤
Frank Rocks! I have never heard a Gibson SG sound so good. 3 single coil pick ups, Stratish I might say, very unique. Bravo Mr. Marino, you are truly a legend.
Some (most...?) musicians loose a little something as they get older.... but not Frank Marino, he sounds as sharp and crisp as ever before.... He's my all time favourite blues guitarist, and inspiration, maybe even best allround guitarist ever. And he has achived something most guitarists only can dream of. He has developed an unsurpassed stile and sound. There are thousands and thousands of fast and able guitarists out there, but I mostly never can tell them apart. Frank Marino on the other hand... stands out like a monstertruck in an ordinary carpark, impossible to miss and wonderful.
WOW ! Saw Frank Marino at a little Club in Evergreen Park Illinois called PJ Flaherty's somewhere around 1990. He was incredible then and incredible until he couldn't play anymore ! You never lost a step he was Robin Trower Jimi Hendrix and any one of the other greatest rock blues Jazz guitarists all rolled into one ! He will always be the King Bee Baby !
Discovered Frank during 80's... Always will be one of my guitar heroes... I learned a lot from that time.. but some things only God gives you... And Frank has that..
I only got to see Frank Marino in '78 because he opened for Nazareth. Didn't know much about him at the time. I was completely blown away. What a player! Thank you Nazareth for introducing me to this amazing player.
What are you, on Crack? He plays well, nice tone, clear delivery, but he just spent 5 minutes beating up every worn out lead guitar cliche. He did it well, but on level with hendrix? Easy does it, fan boy.
There are many great guitar players. No shortage and never will be. When you wonder and complain my favorite players are not valued, recognition, underrated etc. I'm thinking, you're missing something here. They have their fans, following, make a great living and travel the world. You're upset about numbers? Never been about that. The general public is drawn in by 'hooks' (you may add your own favorite melodic) Look, style, voice Place a roll respectfully building a larger audience. The hard core fan understands beyond all the superficial hype of rock and roll. Their not their to fill a seat or be seen as cool. An Experience you'll never ever forget.
I saw Mr. Marino once. A very long time ago. The show was at the (then called) Paramount on Broadway in Portland Or. Best acoustics in town.... hands down. I've worked as a sound engineer and claim to be an avid listener and a forever learning percussionist. I feel qualified to offer these thoughts...... At that show I was presented with the most memorable, mesmerizing, lasting to this day, version of "Johnny B. Goode" that I have ever heard, or will ever hear. Mr. Marino,..... from the bottom of my heart..... thank you for the memory of a life time. (and I've seen Johnny Winters, God rest his weary soul).
I was turned on to him in the Mid 80's. Never understood why Frank Marino was not a rock & roll household name like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush, The Who and many more. His albums should be stacked next to the other greats, in homes all across Canada, USA & the World. He is a genius.
Love that dude so glad I got to see him in San Antonio Texas Baddest guitar player ever always will dig that band Follower since 1975 Thanks.mahogany Rush
He always said that a strat sounded best but he didn't like the way it played. I'm surprised he didn't try this years ago, but frankly ( no pun intended) I prefer the original pickups better.
you must be trolling man, this dude did all the big shows and was the devil before Van Halen, and still think he is better than Eddie in some ways. Great guitarist...with a good spirit from Montréal, my hometown
Maybe not as listened to as much as he should be by the younger generation but Frank was not anywhere near underrated. One of the best yes underrated never...
Frank, I was lucky enough to purchase the LIVE album here in California in 78 when I was 14 years old. You left a huge mark on my musical life. I'm currently in a re-discovery of your music and I'm totally blown away. Thank you.
i had never heard of Frank & Mahogany Rush until 8 months ago i came across live show from 70's and the groovy duds they were wearing i thought oh great... then they started playing an i was blown away i'm next door in U.S how have i never heard of them now months later and watched so many of his videos he plays the shit outta his Guitar i play drums i would love to jam with him! i hope he's a household name in Canada he should be as well known as RUSH or anyone else he kills the Guitar i love it
I saw Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush at the Sunshine Festival ... Diamond head Crater Celebration in 74? Honolulu Hi. Sorry If I'm off a year or two. I must have been around 12 years old. I was absolutely blown away. Me and my friends we'r just kids.. And trying to learn our instruments...Memories like these are what life is all about. And I had know idea who they we'r. But That Dive BOMB guitar solo he did.?? It sounded like a German Stuka Dive BOMBER... Amazing. What a killer set. I was just blown away.. The Drummer had this double bass kit .... He was a left handed player . Set up his drums with the high hat cymbals and floor tom on the other side. Amazing graphics on the front bass drum heads...And memory that'l last a lifetime. Thank you for the memories.
I grew up listening to Marino's stuff, always waiting for that next album to drop. So many good times ,so many good friends. Memories are all we have now my friend. Much love and respect Frank.
This live rendition is nothing short of EPIC! I was at this show and this track was recorded about 7 hours into the show. He played for 12 hours that day, yes you read that right. Trivia: He never broke a string! WOW.
Thanks for uploading this one! How about "I'm Going Away" next? That one, to me, shows all of Frank's talents. Edit: Now I have to go watch it again, and again ... lol
24 people with NO taste in music. My Dad listened to Mahogany Rush when I was a kid, that was my introduction to Frank. We were lucky enough to see him play. Thank you Frank for the memorable experience.
Saw him at the 'Dise in Boston MA, summer 1983. I literally have not been the same since. It was a transcendental experience. The truth to you I tell. He did a version of the Doors' Roadhouse Blues that left me trembling...
Frank Marino to me is Pure Inspiration.Watching him play provided the inspiration for me to keep playing.To this day, Frank's music has uplifted me through Life. I'm looking forward to more New Music!
I saw Frank Marino and Mohogany Rush in 1978; Fabulous! He was one of my favorites back then and now. His talent has always been underrated. I am amazed that he got even better with age. No arthritis in those hands, is there! It seems that the bass player was playing and just in awe while watching Frank play!
Frank Marino is just flat out amazing. It's like Robin Trower, Ritchie Blackmore, and Eric Johnson were combined into one player. Why Frank remains somewhat ignored, I don't have a clue.
I AGREE . . . I was aware of him in the mid-70s when I moved to Montreal, because guess where he's from. But until just now-literally an hour ago-I had no idea of the sheer **breadth** of his playing-not to mention his astonishing voice, which I put in the top five of rock, period. But his guitar playing is just like what the ancient rumour about him used to be: "He woke up in a hospital bed playing like Hendrix." Except he puts Hendrix to shame.
@@Gallagherfreak100 He's definitely in Jeff Beck territory. Being from Texas, I love SRV and think he's a tough guy to top, but think of how many blues power trios have existed. This guy is a completely different animal. And that animal is a beast.
Frank is a MARTYR blamed for being a hendrix clone but who didn't sound like hendrix in 74 Imho he shook that sound off by 79 He amazed people for many yrs BLASTING the doors off venues He was blamed for hiding behind effects yet he was an absolute innovator of effects and tone which later everyone started using I'm glad I supported him I saw him 5x and bought this DVD set
