CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU LIVE IN BRITAIN THIS SUMMER WHAT ABOUT A DATE IN SCOTLAND ?

As World Anthem is the only one I have ever heard, it also has to be the best. Very few of my pals have heard of you and the band, but as soon as I listened to your music it struck a cord (pun intended). Sadly during a house move the album was lost. But I will replace it. I had no idea you had made such a lot of music. I am looking forward to tracking down the other albums and listening to them.

never heard of frank marino until this past weekend on XM satillite. i have always listen to hendrix .allmann brothers band live at fillmore east is still my favorite. of course thers is stevie ray vaughn. but i had achance to listen to Poppy etc. and i was so blown away that i couln't believe what i was hearing. this cd is great. I'm stunned that i never knew about frank marino my birthdate is November 21st 1954. thankyou

Thanks very much for your music Mr Marino.You stay true to Music and you are one of my favourite guitarists alongside with Jimi Hendrix, John Mc Laughlin ,Robert Fripp and many others.Canada is lucky to have great musicians like you.You had the chance to play with Wayne Kramer and Ted Nugent ,what about a jam session with Rush and John Cann?It would be great.Peace and Love.Yann.

Hi! I just want to say thank you to Willy for a great fanpage, dedicated to one of the greatest guitarplayers ever.
I was 13 yrs when i first heard Franks version of "Johnny B Good". It really blew me away!
Now, 25 years later, it has the same effect on my boys at home.
I've been to both Judas Priest and Whitesnake concerts with my "middle son" who's 10 yrs old. If Frank & Mahogany Rush ever comes to Sweden I'll be glad to take my son there too.
Willy, keep up the good work with this page. it's amazing!
Frank, keep playin your music, it makes this world a better place!

Cheers
/Eric

all the albums are special to me and i relive all the memories

Beautiful and Brutal!! If there is a true defining of a complete musician in our time, it would be one who encompasses the broadest spectrum of style and color. It would be one who won't hold back on their God-given gift. It would be one who is at home with their fans on stage where ever it may be. It would be someone who will not stoop to hiding behind the tweaks and cheats of the current lore who push what I call canned trash to the mainstream. I grew up playing with guys old enough to be my great grandfather! From Big Band to local favorites. " Live is where it defines the complete musician" those old musicians said. "You record it only once! No fixes, no tweaks, no backroom magic!" they said. " Be true to the Audience! You never know when you will have to to do it live! Live is where the complete musician's Magic lives!" they constantly said to me and my brothers who were still in gradeschool. Those are words I still live by today for I too am becoming one of those old guys. Frank's Magic and I go back a long way! As a fresh University grad just out of bootcamp word was there was a killer band with a killer album, three guys, Canadian, cool!
Get that album was the word! Everybody was into this group. I thank God I bought Mahogany Rush by mistake! Not the other. I created a hell of a bunch of converts! His aural vision was with me while I was patching up my guys and the locals during the Beirut civil war. Many times Frank's Magic made it possible to go another day. I cranked his Magic up so loud as not to hear the war around my world that the fighting factions could have taken me out at will with Frank's cassettes blaring out life through a hijacked Carvin set topped by a Russian knockoff of a Marshall Tube. Instead the factions got word that there was this crazy Corpsman who would even help their wounded and dying. MarinoMusic ruled my practice! Suffice it to say everyone involved made sure my generators never gave up the ghost or ran out of fuel! No Music, No Life!! When Kingbee/Backdoor Man came to life everyone knew that Doc Pockets was starting to perform live with Marino's Magic at his side and in the ears of his patients. Frank, I know that you'll find comfort to know that there are many people who came back from the dead listening to your Magic! There were babies born to the WORLD ANTHEM!! I was often asked for copies by the young and old. I know, I was there. Like you, I was but another of God's tools. Imagine a supply clerk demanding justification for cases of cassettes and tape copiers along with my medical supply order! I wrote Morale Enhancement as justification. The DOD probably still has a few requistion forms signed by Col. Frank Marino! Today I can listen to a cd and see you perform as I did in Beirut. You are the truest definition of a complete musician. Live is where you live, Frank! Keep up the Magic! Proud to be a MARINOMEISTER! Hey, don't let Josh jump ship!

Been a fan since 1975 and finally got to see you in 2002 on the Legends of Rock tour. Thanks for coming back to the UK, Ihope you make a few bucks this time!
Your music has given me a lot of pleasure over the years and Real Live is excellent! I will definately be making the trip to one of your shows in England, hoping to hear some of my favorite tracks! I like the fast stuff! hint, hint!. Best Wishes.

First time we met was back stage at the Leanord Skynard concert you were warming up back stage. You taught me that a white guy can do Hendrix with integrity! Thanks Man.... Been playin like you ever since...
Been 30+ years since I've seen you live. Cool site!..... whooooo.

Hi there,
We'll be at the Rock and Blues Festival at Pentrich Derbyshire in England in July and look forward to hearing the band.

Lynn and Dave

Frank, you are the greatest guitarist ever !!!!

I found you and your music, way back in 1974. I have been a true fan
ever since. I sadly missed the concerts you did here in 1983 and in
the early 90´s. Please come again. About choosing my favorite album,
well... Strange Universe is a personal favorite, but Real Live is the strongest
I´ve heard , all artists included, for a very long time.

I've been a fan since around 1975, simply fabulous!

HELLO FRANK AND FANS.JUST WANTED TO SAY FRANK WHAT A WONDERFUL TALENT YOU ARE. JUST LISTINING TO SIDE ONE OF REAL LIVE AS I SAY HELLO AND BEST WISHES. SIMPLY AMAZING VERSATITIE. HOPE I SPELLED THAT RIGHT. HISTORY WILL DICTATE YOUR GENIOUS.

greeting from the west coast frank & fellow franksters the new album is really good. great songs/playing & sounds i told a another guitar buddy how good the album was and he told me frank was coming to vancouver in the summer and i got excited till i found out it was just a rumour but my fingers are crossed and it's hard to play that way.

Hey Frank,
Greatings from the left coast. Hope all is good with you and the family. Real Live is awsome. Give my regards to lefty Pete.
Take care, Eric
