My first concert was Ted Nugent and there was also this new band named Foreigner. But the opener was Frank who I'd never heard of. I became a huge fan for next few years (things/tastes change fast when you're 11-12 years old). Saw him several other times. He got a cool tone and it was all SS. I always loved the solo he does in the 'Stormy Monday/Back Door Man' progression in that King Bee song above.
I first heard the Juggernaut album in HS and was blown away - Ditch Queen is epic. Then I did a deep dive on Frank’s playing during my Zakk Wylde phase. I still can’t cop his stuff with the same energy, he was way ahead of the pack at that time.
My fave Frank solo here and one of my fave songs from him . Solo starts a 5:55 , he goes back to the chorus after a few minutes then dives back into the solo . Tons of feel , emotion and flash . Real Live is a highly recomended album
So good, so good
I wore out that Mahogany Rush live album back in the day.
I actually saw him open for Nugent at the old Boston Garden and I'm amazed Ted even came out and played.
