Hi Frank!

"Juggernaut" was the first album that i listened, about these years when you released it and i liked it a LOT! Then my music interests turned into other location... Couple of months ago i found your music again (i'm listening these days heavy & progressive rock again) and it sounds a lot better than those teen years ever! I hope you still keep making a music ! And i hope i see you playing here in Finland sometimes! Peace & health!

Sorry.., my english is not very good...

hello frank, its my pleasure to say a few words on your site. being a music lover of real music, i must thank you so much for all the great albums over the years. what the hell is with the state of so called music nowdays///ITS 99 garbage. thank goodness your still proving what TALENT is. your music never fails to AMAZE. Have a great year frank and much happiness. Thanks Willie for a great site.

Hi friends!

Power of rock & roll was the first album I ever listen too. Dutch Antilles 1982.
I saw Frank live at the Paradiso Amsterdam 1984 , absolutly great it was!
Now 21 years later my son of 13 years old is learning to play Poppy on his guitar.

Thanks Frank for your Music and inspiration.
Come over and play in Amsterdam again.

thanks for putting out such good music

Gotta love the tunes! Can't wait to hear the Ronnie Montrose (Try For Freedom) tribute to Frank

Frank, I've been a fan of yours since 1975 when I took a chance on a weird looking album called Srange Universe. After hearing this mind-blower I discovered Maxoom and Child of the Novelty. Mahogany Rush IV will always be my favorite record of yours because of "It's Begun to Rain." The most beautiful song I've ever heard.

HELLO.....I GOT TO SEE YOU LIVE IN CLEVELAND,OHIO AT A WORLD SERIES OF ROCK CONCERT AT THE INDIANS BASEBALL TEAM STADIUM,,,
IT WAS IN THE MID SEVENTIES AND YOU SOUNDED GREAT AND WOWED THE CROWD WITH YOUR ADVANCED STYLE OF GUITAR PLAY......REO,JOE WALSH,ROD STEWART AND I THINK URIAH HEEP WERE THERE TOO

BY ACCIDENT I RAN ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. IT IS HEART WARMING TO FIND
OUT THAT FRANK MARINO IS ALIVE AND WELL. FRANK, YOU WERE THE
REASON I BECAME A GUITARIST. BY HEARING YOUR PLAYING I WAS
COMPELLED TO LEARN TO PLAY. I TOO STOPPED PLAYING IN THE 80'S AND
THEN STARTED PLAYING AGAIN IN THE LATE 90'S. I AM NOT PLAYING CURRENTLY BUT READING THIS WEBSITE HAS GOT MY MUSIC BLOOD FLOWING AGAIN I MUST ADMIT. I AM A FATHER OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS AND A LOVING WIFE THAT HAVE BEEN DROPPING HINTS ABOUT ME PLAYING AGAIN.
AND AFTER READING THIS WEDSITE ABOUT A GUITARIST THAT I LOVE AND
RESPECT DEEPLY...I JUST MIGHT..

TAKE CARE FRANK...MAY GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!

Hey, I am well behind the times. Have just heard the band for the first time. BRILLIANT!!!!!! I am off to buy some more of thier albums. Cool!!

I'll never forget my best friend stopping by and saying that he had something for me to hear. So we went for a drive in Cupertino California in 1978. he puts on the live album and I was in disbelief at how good Frank was! In retrospect Frank had taken the guitar to a new level that was all his own. I still can't believe he hasn't been fully recognized as the superstar he truely is. I'm very happy to hear Frank is well and still doing it as incredibly as ever. Thank you Frank for all of your creativity!

I now live in the Seattle area and hope tp catch a show soon.

I must say that this new "RealLive" is brilliant!!

Wow...great to see Frank is still rockin'. I was browsing the photo section of this site and saw the ad from 1979 in San Diego, CA with AC/DC and St. Paradise opening. I WAS AT THAT SHOW......Cool....and that was an awesome show. Also saw Frank and Mahogany Rush at the Fox Theater in San Diego, CA back around 82 or 83 I think....that was also a great show and a cool venue. I just purchased the new album RealLIVE! off of Apple's iTunes Music Store.....only $9.99 for 32 awesome tracks. Thanks Frank for giving us so much cool music.....Keep on playin' man.....I love your music. I'm hoping maybe Frank will get out and play some shows.....maybe in my area? That would be very cool. Anyway...nice site....time to crank up some Live Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush on my iPod....maybe Frank can get more of his albums available on the iTunes Music Store...that's how I buy a lot of my music now. Thanks Guys....Rock On!

I just recently received a copy of RealLive and I was completely blown away. I have always been a fan of great guitar music and an admirer of those who have a mastery of the instrument. I regret to say I was living in ignorance of one of the truly great players until last week when I literally stumbled across Frank Marino while looking for something else. I got RealLive and was hooked right from the start, so I have a lot of catching up to do getting the other albums. I haven't listed a favorite album but I hope to have one soon. I'm also inspired by Frank's personal story of recovery and how he first started to play. It was during my early time in sobriety that listening to guitar music kept me straight and inspired to stay that way. Thanks Frank for your gift that you give so freely.

Frank:

I'm 48 years old (used to play guitar) and have been a Frank Marino fan since the 70s. I just bought and listened to your Real Live! CDs, and I'd like to say it's great to have you back! Your guitar playing is as great if not better than ever. I know most music and the music industry of today sucks, but it's good to have you hanging in there. A lot of us really appreciate it! Hope you'll tour near my area soon!

Ron

frank, thanks for all the inspriation, all the soul and passion that you gave of yourself in your music to all of us out here.
you are one of the founding fathers of rock guitar as we know it today.
you were so far ahead of your time that we are only now beginning to catch up to what you were doing 20 years ago! i owe you much.
we are all brothers in the clan of the 6 string!

Rock and roll can use more players like this. Soulful and entergetic.

Will there be any New England tour Dates? You were huge here at one time.
