I like him. Saw him in the 70's with Nugent and Aerosmith. Opened up for them and was better then both. I didnt know who he was and this guy comes walking on the stage at the beginning of the show ,I thought he was the guitar tech. Just starts rippin on what looked like a Gibson SG. Then the rest of the band came out and I was hooked from there.

Check out 1974's "Child of the Novelty" by Mahogany Rush. Back then, Frank was ripping mostly on a Fender Strat.

I really liked his stuff alot back then, but i'm able to appreciate it even more now. Poppy is a great jam as well. Great thread...

My first actual guitar hero right before Eddie. I was baptized by the Frank Marino & Mahogany Rus live ablum in early '78. I have all his stuff on cd from Maxoom to Eye of the storm.

I saw him live three times..he didn't bother to play the fourth time because 10 people showed up, including his band. That was about 10 years ago when nobody gave a shit 'bout guitar.

I Emailed him back then on my sister's PC and he answered me back. I wanted his 80's released on cd..just a couple years later they were @ 25 bucks a pop.

I discovered Mahogany Rush by accident. My buddy at the music store kept telling me about this cool three piece band called "Rush." My dumbass couldn't remember exactly what he said and the minute I get to the music store, I spied the Child of the Novelty album. "Hmm, three piece band, Canadian, this has got to be it!"

A week or so later, my buddy is asking me what I think of songs like, Finding My Way and Working Man. I remember thinking that one of us must have the import version!

Canadian pride!!!!
I listened to a couple of Marino albums during my jazz/fusion/progressive stage.
I really liked his compositions and a couple of his songs I really liked. {Don't recall them right now.}

Among the genre of "eclectic" players, as I like to call them; he's right up there with Mahavishnu Orchestra and Uli Roth's Electric Sun.

For me, Sabbath, Budgie, UFO, Purple and Uriah Heep were the order of the day when Marino came about, so he kind of got lost in the fold.

Same here except the live album is the one that i heard first and then it was like being on heroine! had to get dose after dose.
I used to put the turntable on neutral and spin it real slow by hand to figure out what was then truely sick fast blues licks that no one was doing like that
shortly after ED came out with the first record and i was like "JEEZZUSSS!
did this guy get lessons from frank or something?"
I really think ED got some of his "fire" from frank
frank had/has that "rowdy,aggressive blues feel " i hear a lot on VH's first record. like on "im the one"
anyone ever hear the story about frank taking LSD and then having jimi's spirit take over him?
many swear that frank got much better on the axe after this incident?
dont know if its true but it sounds wild!
anyway i cant believe how UNDERRATED the guy was then and now
at least we all know about him

[heartfielder]

HAHAHA!! That's funny.

But on the topic of Frank Marino, guitar player....one BADASS dude!!

[Jayster]

wow ,

\he did all of that and led the miami dolphins too ?????

[hippietim]

what does marino hear like?

[lerxstcat]

I hear exactly like Marino - with my ears. Too bad I can't play like he does though....

I saw Mahogany Rush open for Styx, not sure what tour but it was mid-70s I guess. Frank played an SG and was awesome! His "possessed by Jimi" story made good reading in Circus magazine back then!

Frank Marino is still tearing it up onstage. He starts a new batch of tour dates in a few days. I'm going to see him on July 20 at the Birchmere, in Alexandria, Va. I've seen him several times since he resumed touring a few years back. If he comes anywhere remotely near you, I HIGHLY recommend checking him out--you'll get three hours or so of blazing guitar right in your face. Here's the current list of tour dates:
