Frank Marino

[jcmlespaul]

Late to the party on Frank Marino. Any recommended starting points with his recordings?

 

[Mudder]

Nearly any Mahogany Rush stuff.

 

[amiller]

I dig Strange Universe.

 

[Rushtallica]

The old Live Album is the must-have IMO. 8)

 

[dstroud]

yeah, the old live album. I've got strange universe too - killer stuff!

 

[eljodon]

The live album was the best for me. I saw him in P.R and he had the biggest pedal board I have ever seen at that time. His guitar sound was huge! I read that he used 15" speakers in his set up!

 

[stephen sawall]

Yes .. the live album.

 

[metalmaniac93]

Live album for sure!!!

Maybe that's where Nuno got it from....

FM is FM...

 

[JTyson]

The live album kills

 

[shredhead7]

As everyone said, there are a few live albums that are excellent.

 

[legend71]

Agreed the live album is the best. But his first 3 albums are decent. The playing is pretty good but the songs are up and down.

 

[rupe]

Has anybody mentioned the live album? That's where I would start

A legendary yet underrated player IMO.

 

[joolzriff]

The old Live Album is the must-have IMO. 8)

[Gainzilla]

I am a HUGE Frank Marino fanboy, always have been , always will be. I love everything that hes done but as others have said, The first Live album is friggin Magic.... Franks studio work is awesome but live, the man just kills it....

Kage

 

[MrDan666]

Frank is a MONSTER player with killer tone too! The live album kicks major ass!

 

[bonedarrell]

Frankie has a few live albums. Start with the '78 "Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live"

Here is a fun clip from that era:

 

[James Lugo]

The Live record is awesome, so is Tales of The Unexpected. I saw them in '79 with Humble Pie, Mother's Finest and Head East. Life changing show for a 14 year old. Frank was a hero.

Just uploaded this audio-

I will definitely add the live album into heavy rotation. I am going to look for it on vinyl.
