Guitar Great Passed Away

[DoobieSF]

im so mad,,,,,Ive listened all my life and am a drummer,but didnt know the musicianship they had....and Nokie on bass, got me all confused. And I love Herb Albert, Brazil 66,and all the 60's stuff. Like a guy said...I am at the end of the internet. These guys are gods

[BerkLeeDrm]

thanks for that,,,, lol I always keep another window open so I can see who the players are on all these great bands...this one was great.....when life was easier...

[stratusplayer1]

Any guitar player in the 60's had to learn from and admire this group.

[solarpurplestarlight]

This, I believe, was my dad's favorite group. I hear these guys and I am a very little kid again. I was born and raised on the Ventures. There has never, before or since, any group that even comes close to touching them, for instrumental music. RIP Bob!

By an "accident of talent", Bob Bogle was original lead guitarist of The Ventures. When Nokie joined the group, Bob and Don realized Nokie's lead skills were unparallelled, and the lineup changed to Bogle on bass, Nokie on lead. Thus evolved one of the three great bassists in the history of rock: James Jamerson, Bob Bogle and Paul McCartney. In straight "rock and roll", others have equaled those three. None have surpassed them.

Ever since my dad brought home a series of venture records vinyl in 1973 at the age of eight the ventures are the result of my guitar playing the inspiration they have given to so many still lives on inside me as I continue to drive guitars faithfully

[mosrite60]

No one plays WDR better than Bob. The song still sounds like the the original version back in 1960 or so. RIP Bob B

[ThePathofHavoc]

Even being a child of the 80's, I grew up on this stuff. Gotta love good parenting!

[bigguy4570]

I have been listening to The Ventures since I was 7 years old I am now 59 and the music never grows old Bob and Mel you will be missed.

RIP Mr. Bogle and thanks for everything.

Como socio fundador del Club de Admiradores de The Ventures del Perú siento gran pesar por la defunción de Bob Bogle, cofundador del grupo junto a Don Wilson.

Cuando Bob Spalding pronunció unas palabras en su nombre, durante la ceremonia de inducción del grupo al Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll, presentíamos que su alejamiento no podía deberse sólo al cansancio pero jamás pensamos que lo perderíamos poco tiempo después.

¡Bob, descansa en paz!

[starlight1946]

Wow, brings back memories of those good old days.

[C68M68L]

Thank you for sharing this video, Bigone. I actually have never bought a CD or tape of their music, which is surprising since I enjoy their unique sound. I'll have to add them to my collection in the future. Mr. Bogle has left behind a lovely legacy of music and made use of a God given talent.

[thelistener13]

What great memories this brings back. He will certainly be missed.

[solarpurplestarlight]

@thelistener13 All of the early 60's Ventures music is what I was born and raised on. I am now 50 and still love these guys.
