Bonjour a vous, je vous ai découvert a la sortie de votre album 'Power of r'n'roll' et ce fut une immense claque pour mes 16ans Je vous écoute toujours a 60 ans avec bonheur
Par contre petite question ; pourquoi avoir toujours fait l impasse sur vos 2 bombes Power... et juggernaut en live un titre comme par exemple Ditch queen aurait été phénoménal
J ai eu l occasion une seule fois de jouer live CRAZY M DAISY sur scène quel pied ! ' je suis guitariste aussi mais loin de votre talent
Jamais eu l occasion de vous voit live a part en video c est vrai que la France ... lollll
je vous souhaite tout du bon et que votre retour sur scene soit toujours couronne de succes
bien a vous

Hello,

I've known you since grade five via the Ayoubs. I think I remember when you had the Pantera. I lived in Outremont not 5 min away from the Ayoubs. I am so sorry that I got into your music so late in life. We were little farts in grade 5 when Jimmy was running around the house. I miss him. Playing drums I have many questions but of course late again to the show.
I ordered your DVD box set Live at The Agora. Can't wait to see it on my home theatre.

Best,
Rich

Wow great to hear your mending frank and playing again! you had us all worried you was done!
just lately i have been cranking up full circle in the car at 5.30 in the morning on the way to work and any guitar player should scrutinize every detail of that album ...incredible stuff..the thickness of the tone the stuff you include in the phrasing! i am not even sure theirs a term for those skills yet! its a demonstration of incredible skillful contemporary rock guitar..o hang on..its 40 years old!!!
Come to The uk again frank theirs a load of us eager for another mind blowing gig.
I just pray you put out some more album stuff...careful though ..if you do an all blues album what the hell will all these other so called great blues players do then..ha ha..Thanks for the music frank ..incredible stuff!

Hi Frank, I just got reintroduced to your music from a post by Joe Bonamassa. Growing up in the Bay Area in the 70's, I'm sure I saw a gig or two, maybe at winterland in SF. I read you're feeling a bit better these days and doing a few gigs here and there. Thanks for all the great music. Continued good health and stay safe.

I'm grateful to have found your music. True, wonderful artistry. Thank you for creating it. I also bought, on vinyl, Tales of the Unexpected and it's awesome!
I'm 33 years old, just over 3 years into the release of consumer-available AI (chatGPT) and there are now free consumer-available music-generating apps (with in-app purchases of course). The streaming system is broken; the distributors are generating their own artists and algorithmically sneaking them into peoples' playlists on a growing basis. I am convinced they want to phase out human artists. LiveNation/Ticketmaster have exclusive rights to every artist and every venue who aren't willing to risk their necks and go it as "indie". I read the 2015 Guitar World interview where you stated "I used to always tell people: Business has no business in the music business." The business and art are entirely and completely separated at this point. It's the audio branch of the self-entertainment industry.
I seek art on physical formats because I know it's the only way to own it and not subscribe to a license for access to it. I look forward to hunting down and buying the rest of your discography.

Frank,

I just enjoyed checking out your website and reading some of your interviews. I especially liked the one on the Everyone Loves Guiar link.

I share your birthday of November 20th, but mine is in 1952. I always liked that I had the same birthday as Duane Allman, Joe Walsh and yourself. Just an FYI that I've always loved the song "Poppy".

As someone from the same time period, I also experimented with acid and had a very bad experience which led to my abstaining from drugs from then on, so have an idea about what you went through, although your experience was obviously much, much worse. Even though it happened 50 years ago, I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you hanging on and getting through the other side of that nightmare which I know took a great deal of courage and effort on you part.

You've been an inspiration to many people and I wish you much good health and happiness in your remaining years on the planet.

Respectfully,
Mary Ann Wade

Dear Frank,
Have been a major fan for aeons. Just want to say many thanks for all the joy you've given me listening to your great music. Thanks also for personally overseeing sending me some shirts a few years back now when your shoulder first flared up. Glad to see it is under control... please get out there and slay them again as you always do. It's almost come full circle now with what is about to happen to this world. Your contributions to the world of music shall never be forgotten. You're the man mate.... All the best.

Frank's music and abilities have allowed so many incredible feelings and have literally enhanced my life, through the ups and downs, and there is really no way ever to get enough. Profound! Live on, brother! Too hard to pick a favorite album. Have played many of your songs literally hundreds of times. Hundreds, and with many of those songs, that's a conservative estimate. .. .. THANK YOU for all you've done, your efforts, sacrifices, and talents to elicit the best feelings from your listeners, and devoted fans, carrying US through hard times, as well. It is truly amazing where your music, talent and genius has, and can, take us. May God bless, and continued prayers for you and family.

Hi frank,
I'm Rockin Bob from (Bay Area Rockin Reviews).
I've been a fan of mahogany rush I first heard you guys in the seventies.
I first got to see you guys on the Juggernaut tour in Philadelphia Pennsylvania at a small club called The chestnut cabaret. I did have the incredible pleasure of getting to meet you shortly and having my Juggernaut album signed and you gave me a guitar pick. Since then I've been to hundreds of shows,
But that show is still one of the best I've ever been to.
I'm so very glad and I have prayed that you would get through your medical issues and be okay.
I'm trying my best to make it to the Bonita springs show in Florida March 17th.
I am trying to get a hold of your tour management or the person that I need to speak with in order to obtain credentials to do a review for Bay area rocking reviews.
Good luck with all your endeavors and hopefully I'll get to see you in March.

PEACE✌️🎸

Saw you back in the 70's a couple times and interviewed you twice besides doing concert reviews for the college newspaper.

So glad you have recovered and are back on tour in 2026. I am considering taking in one of your shows. Any chance I can again come backstage and give you a couple photos I took of you and Mahogany Rush from 'the old days'? Or maybe have a drink at a casino bar (ill buy) .

Will see if I can find one of the published interviews as well. This was back in Houston & my brother also interviewed you once for Rice University. I was at the University of Houston.

Peace &God bless you and your team,

Mark

I understood that you had a physical setback so i hope you recover as good as possible. And i hope you wil make some more music so the world and me can enjoy some more of your music. Hopefully live smile
Kind regards from a brand-new fan

Love you Frank! Ever since I saw you at Warner's Theatre in Fresno back in 1978, I was 15 yrs old back then, and tickets were only $6.50 back then. You have always been my favorite of all time. I then took my wife to see you in Santa Cruz at the Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, $16.50 - WOW what a show! I bought two copies of Live at the Agora Theatre, one signed and not. I was going to see you at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano and bring my friends but you had to cancel. I have been hoping and praying for you to heal. I see you are able to do a little hear and there. I'm so glad! I hope continue to get better. Much love from me! Thanks for ll the music over the years. God Bless...
