Mahogany Rush

If you were a teenage kid learning guitar in the mid 70's, Frank Marino  and Mahogany Rush was one of the bands to follow, alongside the usual suspects.

I was too young to catch the 60's gods in their prime, so FM, Robin Trower, and a few others-Johnnny Winter, Ronnie Montrose...were the guys I listened to, and wore their records out tying to cop their guitar licks on my cheap Les Paul copy.

I think it was the moustach and platform shoes that helped Frank shred before shred became a common  term for guitar virtuosity in the 80's.

Thanks for the memories.

"Mick Box, Tony Iommi, Carlos Santana, Frank Zappa, etc ..."

Great pick of players there,Harold.

For awhile, I followed UFO and was a fan of Michael Schenker. I lost interest in the guitar bands once the 80's came around. Didn't get into Satch,Vai etc. 

The guitar centric bands like Dream Theater(Petrucci) and the like, didn't get my attention either. Great guitar playing, but it never grabbed my attention like the early 70's prog bands-Yes, King Crimson,ELP, Genesis...

Frank unfortunately remains under the radar with main stream, rock guitar fans.

I will always dig Franks interpretations of Jimi's work.

Thought I'd bump this thread because I found a copy of "Maxoom" in a box of freshly acquired "throwaways" at my local store. 

Also picked up "World Anthem". I dumped these 2 along with MANY others in the 80's as my music tastes were evolving back then. Also, records just were becoming uncool with those shiny CD's things replacing them.

I see my first post had the WRONG link for  a Frank Marino video. YIKES! WTF?

These  are PC sensitive times. No offense, but that ain't that  the Frank Marino I'm talknbout.

Forever live 70's high heeled, bell bottom wearing, mustached guitar gods.
