Sure he was one of the moustache guitar gods in the incredible 70´s, alongside Mick Box, Tony Iommi, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa, etc ...
namely the Gibson SG moustache gods :^)
Yes, it was Frank Marino who was the first to truly shred, and I still like his style and sound. Most shredders in the 80´s were musically below Marino´s level and actually quite boring. It was meant to be Joe Satriani who took shredding and the whole electric guitar playing to the highest level, to teach young guitarists such as Kirk Hammet and Steve Vai to develop their sound. I think Satriani actually invented modern "metal" guitar playing and is the only new generation guitar god that I can stand today, people like Petrucci plays zillion notes flawlessly but can´t touch me mentally not emotionally.
To my great surprise I couldn´t find one decent DVD of Frank´s music for sale online anywhere. It´s a strange universe we are living in.
