Frank Marino - Johnny B. Goode

[havanakim]

when ships where made of wood and men pissed rust! the bomfb

[popeneal]

Frank marino is great used to own all of his records in the 70’s - Now I got some Wolf Mail and Derek Trucks and I can’t sleep at night

[kortes1975]

He is Shawn Lane sensei, i think! )))

[TheTranslator100]

Damn, I'm surprised that SG stayed in tune after all that (SG's aren't known to stay in tune for very long lol) He must have installed locking nuts or locking tuners lol

[TheTriggerfiend]

@TheTranslator100 It's a damn shame because those are good guitars

[geodati]

One of the best guitarists of all time and he is underrated but that's okay.

[TheWill6692]

my great granny jammed out with frank marino.

[MegaYoshitsune]

Frank Marino, Frank Zappa, and Duane Almman jamming together would have been the most horrific yet awesome Gibson SG battle of all time

[MegaYoshitsune]

@MegaYoshitsune *Allman, yes, I allow people to take me to the gallows for spelling his name wrong.....

[shaynebaer]

Holy Shit Brother !!! That was Awesome !!!

[nodrush80]

Frank by himself smokes eddie and joe together.

[mwood19671]

Good guitar jam, Frank Marino, Eddie Van Halen, and Joe Satriani together

[johnnyjolijt]

@mwood19671 yeah man

[mwood19671]

Good guitar jam, Frank Marino, Eddie Van Halen, and Joe Satriani

[pamnbo1]

@mwood19671 how about Frank Marino, Yngwie Malsteen , Joe Satriani  for a jam session .

[jimi794]

Hi thanks ist good song my friend ! bye

[gettherefas]

pta madre pinche exitación en el cerebro al escuchar ese solo de guitarra......................

[Syzygy60]

Frank opened for Kansas I went to see Frank



[Syzygy60]

i saw him twice

in two states

Michigan and Pennsylvania

[Batwing3]

@Syzygy60 at the same time ???

[cdevers100]

Frank Marino is without a doubt, the greatest guitarist to survive the 80s, and thrive in the 90s and beyond. This cat f..king smokes....

[bobob13131]

Ready for depressing? I remember when that same SG was going for $250 with about 10 used ones for sale at any given time...RIGHT NEXT TO THE $250 Blackface Fenders no one wanted. Admit it! LOL!

[JimB0SLicE1]

See kids all ya gotta do to get this good at guitar is to do lots and lots of heroin, slip into a coma, and WAHMO your a guitar legend!... Oh and dont forget to celebrate by doing more heroin after you completed the final step. - Franks story

[GameLevelEditor]

I seen Frank at Cobo Hall in 1981. I had to because I bought the Mahogany Rush Live album. My favorite of his still to this day. The pentatonic scale king right up there with Gary Moore IMO. What I found unique about Frank is his high energy and ability to create those sound scapes of a concert atmosphere.

[47279J]

Usually, somebody says they're gonna do an extended 6 minute jam/solo section, it's time to go to the toilets and take a piss or go by more beer. With this.... rarely you see so much ass being kicked as here.

[glmojopalmer]

I wish I could go back in time and hear real music like this again.

[Ramtophillbilly]

I doubt I'd ever sell my soul to the devil outright but I'd sure as hell lend it out for a few days to know the ecstasy of be able to play like that.

[preacher8733]

a worth-while investment of 10 minutes!

[preacher8733]

A little long but ya can't stop listenin'!



[manuzen22]

Quand ca arrache même le papier peint!!! lol!

[virgil81nz]

Frank was the best and still is the best damn guitarist in the world.

[hemi214]

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush RULE!!!

[nuge4pres]

God gave him a gift and kept on giving.

[Tttribe1]

Love the sound that starts at 4:36

[sarasa69666]

i can feel each note getting in my brain its awesome

[chrook]

OD'ed on this album in the 70s

[TruthAxe]

Frank Marino > Jimmy Page. Easily. This guy went unsung during his time.

[cisco2fun1]

he got the best feel!!!

[lukemanify]

Frank is not a neo-classical axeman so he should not be compared with Yngwie, Blackmore, or any other guy really. The old Hendrix-grave-robbing accusations included.

[gothicloveful]

ahahahah yngwie wanna bees and neo-cloans yeah we need more of frank marionos than neo-cloans and yngwie wanna bees

[Mojomatrix]

Mid-Westerners love their Rock Music ! From Milwaukee :)

[royjimi]

nuclear - Full power .  - thanks

[jwandhistools]

Hey Frank: Bottle and sell that shit-fit guitar tone and I'll buy a couple cases right now!

[loverman123able]

THANK-YOU FRANK FOR THE SIGNED PICK & SIGNED 8 X 10 PHOTO YOUR #1 IN MY BOOK! OK JIMI HENDRIX WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU !

[marcosfm12]

Coooooool, the greatest Frank !!!! First ever heard him back 1979 and he stills one of my fab.

[marcosfm12]

Coooooool, the greatest Frank !!!! First ever heard him back 1979 and he stills one of my fab.

[karlhilpert711]

frank is an angel . you cant say hes god cause thats jimi hendrix . noth said

[srvsgal]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSOME.

[Simple3975]

This reminds me of the show I went to a few years ago in Atlanta, when Frank played the Variety Playhouse in Little Five Points. There were only 53 of us there in the whole place. Frank opened with "Land of a thousand nights" and just kept playing and playing. I was in very front, and after five songs had to retreat to the back. Got so loud that I finished listening to the show in the lobby. Unbelievable. He played them all, even stuff I didn't he'd play. Great to see him again!

[ffej980]

when Frank played those first notes...you knew he was here to play guitar...and play he did

[GeorgeNEmma]

man he can play

[Strandnorebo88]

Frankie and all dear friends,

You are rocking our asses off.

Greate playing,might God be with you...and is with you.

XrS

Dr.BonBon

[SharingonMadara]

this is kick ass look at him thrash that sg!

[franko452000]

i grew up with this kinda jams in the 70"s frank rocks and was under_rated.. robin trower also..because of jimi hendrix.... i think

[SharingonMadara]

@franko452000 not cuz of jimi. they werent as advertised as jimi. thats all

[butidontgetit]

XQ MIERDA NADIE SE DIO CUENTA Q JESUS ESTABA TOCANDO LA GUITARRA!!!!????

CREATIVIDAD, ENERGIA Y FEELING!!

GRANDE MARINO!

[TheShredfester]

Masterful Performance!!! Is this" The Man" or what?? Franks' Hyperspeed Melodic Blurple Sonic Spaceship is WICKED!!! Sounds AWESOME!!! Incredible Fretboard Work!!! Frank Marino RULZ!!! MONSTER!!!!!!!!

[MegaYoshitsune]

He shoul have kept the epic moustache.

[guitarran]

I remember an interview were Frank was asked if he ever met SRV and I recall Frank saying something like he ran into him back stage at some point and Frank said hi to Stevie but Stevie kinda stared at Frank and said nothing. I don't think Stevie was being rude or anything like that, Stevie was too much of kind soul for that, I think he was just dumbfounded and awestruck. And I must say the first time I saw these guys was at the Swing Auditorium 1978 and that show left me feeling the same way.

[455supreme]

I have several of his albums, but never had a chance to see him live.

This is the first live video I have seen. He is as good as I thought he would be.

Just this last weekend I told a someone while we were watching a SRV live DVD. "Frank Marino is the only person to play Voodoo Chile live, before SRV."

Frank Marino and MR are very underrated on the national level, but very well respected here.

[sickles211]

Nothin wrong with this... I saw FM a couple years ago.  He entertained me for 3 hours, without me knowin where the time went. Yes... he is a badass...

[colosalblack]

How come I just discovered this genius?

[yucchhiiowwee]

Frank Marino was VERY HEAVILY influenced by Jimi Hendrix!! You can hear it in his playing!! Such the aewsome stuff! Now a days, there are NO MORE guitar heros!!!

[eckankarpaul]

After loving his music from the 70s,,and playing guitar myself for 45 years,,Ive realised,,that its pure talent,,,and it comes from practice,,,,!!!,,I remember my first bar chord,,it took me months to make it work,,,then come hammer ons,,and pull offs,,,Frank is so great,,Can you imagine how much he practiced ?,,,Hats off to all of you guitar players !!!

[alienlawenforcer]

He was, is, and will always be awesome. i saw him when no one heard of him. I thought he was the reincarnation of Jimmy Hendrix

[royjimi]

Respond to this video...

[royjimi]

yeah , hy , i now mr . guitarr frank since i was 13 : he has grave my own and my guitar playing ;think , frank is one of 5  best and finest music players for ever ; fritz dürst left hand g player 73 godby

[blindmellonchittlen]

When guitarists had sole and feeling when they played, fuck the shredders, this is the shit. Thank you Frank

[Stratocaster145]

GREAT !!!

EXCELLENT !!!

AMAZING !!!

FANTASTIC SOLO !!!

1000 STARS

[Blogalicious]

Frank is one of my favorites of all time! Too bad Jimi Hendrix wasn't around longer to learn a few more things!

[bruce7chuck]

frank is the best guitar player in the world

[obscurebandfan]

He's like the earliest shredder, but it's enjoyable and not pretentious.

[meatpole55]

i bet ted nugent wished he had of never showed up at california jam 2 with frank marino..what an embarassment for ted..

[Blogalicious]

@meatpole55 I love Uncle Ted but I have to agree with ya on this one!

[fretlesschimp]

thanks for melting my face frank I needed that.

[JDJWJB]

You know what might be a good idea? Uploading the other half in another video as part 2 :)

[s6y9l]

Damn, this brinks back memories. FRANK CRANK!!!!! Ha ha.

[indigenous2logic]

Amazing!! What a master, after Hendrix, you were by far the

greatest ......("Buddy"). Love your scene.....♫Logic

[JDJWJB]

LONG LIVE FRANK!!!

[paul3628]

Good god, what a MONSTER performance. I will remain forever speechless.

[bigguy4570]

That drummer is working his ass off damn man.

[OfficialFrankMarino]

Thanks for posting.

[HodgiPodgi]

Wow.

[miamigroove]

Noone could turn a Gibson SG into a lethal weapon like Frank.

I'd love to get a peek at his FX rig from back then.

[bigbird3406]

marino is very good but he is not in the same class as bonamassa not even close!!

[kyuss4me]

@bigbird3406 Yah, I know. Marino is his daddy. Not in the same class whatsoever.

[countrysamurai]

@bigbird3406 I am sure that Joe would disagree with you!

[Aztcwryr]

best live album ever......couldn't stop listening to it.wore out albums,cassettes and now have it on cd.amazing guitar player

[mnsnake]

I wanna know what his trick was for using that whammy bar with the open nut and still having it stay in tune. He had it figured out how to use a whammy with an open nut and keep it in tune bfore VanHalen ever hit the scene. I've got a new Gibson Custom Shop 62 reissue SG with that same type tremolo but if I just touch it it will throw it out of tune. I've used the Nut Sauce stuff on the nut to lube the strings up top but it only helped a bit. Maybe I just need to break it in real good,

[falconer333]

The first riff in this is the first riff of new moon rising by wolfmother.

[MultiPhil2009]

the whole band is great .

[stratman45us]

i get goose bumps everytime i listen.ive been a fan since 73.

[RooFx]

frank owns... I saw him in texas in the early 80;s

unreal

[maxntm92]

play so beautifuul

[lukemanify]

understanding and appreciating Frank isn't a sport and left my crusade for it in the 80's. I rather lean back and enjoy than try to convert people.. .ignorance is bliss so let the ignorants focus on something more useful or contemporary. Frank has always been a lone ranger in this strange universe...

[freekoss]

Man, this isn't your average Johnny B. Goode....Live On Frank Marino!! Chit, ya'll..even when Frank's gone from this earth..he'll always be alive.

[chuiseee]

genious guitarist in the world

[amigoob]

Well, having seen FM&MR 4x...there isn't much I haven't either seen or heard Frank do...close my eyes...it's Hendrix...live! If it weren't for Joe Anthony, he probably wouldn't have had as much success as he did...no lack of talent...so much energy!

Do your thing, but remember to "Crank the Frank" every once in awhile...sorta like a "rebalancer"...enjoy!

[Icedad1]

Frank was Rare, He plays the way that Frank Zappa wanted to play, he said so himself. I don't think you could ever get a bigger compliment than that! Who is this anal retentive pop worshipper shit, "daphezian26", stick your head on dike.... your zits have zippers, go get ready for your glee club meeting!

[tariksba]

4:35 to 5:45 ,OMG.........

awesome...

[Odoranai]

Holy Fuckin Hell!!!!!

[stewmacman]

frank probably has to replace his fretboards after every show due to FRIGGIN BURNIN THEM UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daphnezian26]

ohh sucks

[knowMusicMan]

Here's the facts. All blues rock enthusiasts from the 70's know Frank Marino. The reason why he wasn't popularly known is because all his songs are lengthy. And radio rarely played long songs in those days. I remember many songs getting hacked off at the end. So they rarely, if ever, played FM's music.

[judahsalva]

AWESOME!!!

[neverrust1]

Walkindude... I played Franks stuff for a guy I work with , and he was astounded , stood there lookin at me like he didnt think it was real. and then he said almost the same thing as you ' How is this guy NOT EVERYWHERE ?" I am very happy to know you have discovered this .

[WhyMaBluesrockband]

This is it!!!!!!!!!!

[chileBeast]

all i can say is ... FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[hillsmith]

What pedal does he hit right before the solo? I mean, I know he had upteen pedals, but he hits one that just brings him into his own ether.....

[christianplysgtr]

what part of the song are u talking about?

[sjuozhunki]

@hillsmith its a pitch shifter

[Frank4268]

Frank's and Jimi's version of this song are the best ever recorded!! No one else even comes close!!

[wesleyy95]

I saw Frank and Mahogany Rush in about '74 backing Aerosmith on the Get Your Wings tour, and saw him again in about '82. Powerful and melodic stuff.

[pickboy7]

right on,one of the most underated guitarists out there.....

[bigguy4570]

Him and Alvin Lee of Ten Years After

[WalkinDude91]

I just watched an interview with Shawn Lane where he mentioned Frank Marino so I decided to look him up just now....WHY IN THE HELL HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE!? This is freakin' awesome.

[metemi]

Yeah, not alot of people have heard of him; it's too bad; Frank Marino is just one of those greats who kind of slipped through the cracks in terms of publicity and stuff, and never got the recognition or success that he really deserved.

He was an amazing guitarist, and a very good singer/songwriter as well.

[RockinMorroccan]

@WalkinDude91 you don't live in Montreal lol - he's well known in his hometown but indeed he is not as well known outside

[oysved]

Smokin`!!!

[mturquie]

Daaaaaaaaamn!!!! If you listen to Zakk Wylde, you'd clearely hear the influence Frank Marino had on him..... THESE is the good shit!!!! Frank is one of the best guitar players ever!!!!

[bloodmoonblooz]

I agree but the thing Wylde or Malmsteen never learned is you don't have to jam like this ALL the time. Frank knows SLOW and MELODIC as well. Find more than this clip, then listen and learn. Franks a GENIUS.

[roytherude]

amazingly good.

[PlayItAgainJohn11]

Whoever said God doesn't have a moustache and long hair, and isn't related to Jimi Hendrix! This is the best Christian music I ever heard! It sounded like the angels were playing harps up on the clouds, then they soared down and flapped by! Rock on forever on the SG! Keep it up Frankie.

[crosnobel]

Grande ..........il degno successore del mitico Hendrix

[Zaaxun]

for all the the yngwie wannabe's and neo-clones out there.  look at real talent.

[Epiphonefan]

This is pretty fucken funny:D

I was watching yngwie vids, and I thought, let's check out that Frank Marino guy :D

He is fucking amazing.. so is Yngwie, I like this guys blues phrasing alot more than Yngwi's, but then again, Yngwie's technique is much more peerfected and sophisticated (believe me, I know its not nessescary to play 160 bpm sixtuplets in the blues) Like em both, but Yngwie is a technical virtuoso, marino a blues virtuoso.

Fuck it, both are amazing

[stratman45us]

@Zaaxun you are so right.

[cochise1100]

@Zaaxun you have never been more right in your life! not only is he fast, but also plays with true feeling!

[SharingonMadara]

@Zaaxun yep!!This is Frank Murino!

[ricky6565]

The guy is definitely a top drawer technician but this is too fast for me personally.

[gfrkiss]

Ya know what...loads of guitarists nowadays think they play fast... BOLLOCKS! There is only one FRANK MARINO..I love you frank ..keep on playing your damn fine music...

[2cool4words]

In '78 @ the football stadium in Orlando Fla with a full capacity crowd absolutely in a trance to his SG delivering Thunder and Earthquaking FEEDBACK He shook the stadium and the crowd swayed like waves under His CONTROL Hi Power is an understatement Thanks Frank.M.

Long Live Greasy Guitar,

Actualy Frank Marino is not really from here He is one of the Space People sent here to enlighten us about the higher plane all you have to do is put on the headphones.....

[scard1030]

i guess Frank got a univibe and an octavia-and put them to good use- back in the 70s when they were available. This guy was, and still is- sick, crazy, stupid good!!!!

[itsabig]

Octavia and a Univibe?.....jesus.. you walk up to a stack and plug that in with the miked volume he was playing? he did even more dangerous things than that.....walk up to the same stack and plug in treble boost and make it work with a phase 90 shifter......i still don't get it...... have no freaking idea!

[COSMICBUM]

Actually Frank built his own device to produce the octave-boost effect. He is very clever with electronics, in fact after he dropped out of the music biz for a while he was building computers in his basement for a living.

[christianplysguitar]

i just popped a boner holy fuck go franky go

[shredtastic1]

play guitar just like ringin a bell go GO!

haha crazy shit!!

[Whooligan86]

Frank is one of the most underrated gods of all time. End of discussion.

[miamigroove]

@Whooligan86

Totally agreed!!

[yucchhiiowwee]

@Whooligan86 I saw Frank open for Ted Nugent in 1978 in Boston Garden sold out!!! Ted was on his Stae of Shock tour at that time. Man O Man, What a CRAZY show IT WAS!!! WHEWWWWWWWWW HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[aalssami]

gorgeous!

[CCi22mag]

"sorry"meant to say Rolling Stone.

[CCi22mag]

Frank is one of the forgotten greats,he's just as good as all these other guys that get all the credit,but you never hear his name mentioned whenever VH1 classic or Rolling has thier greatest guitarists of all time surveys.

[DrL3374U]

*headsplosion from sheer amount of rock*

[cobrakeister]

EXCELLENT. One the absolute best technicians EVER.

[LIONSTRONG4242]

Frank Marino is great, true, Frank Zappa was a God...Zappa was from another planet...and played with zircon encrusted tweezers that he sterilized first.....

[LIONSTRONG4242]

Zappa?

[jayyyjack]

i first heard this years ago , still amazing

[BigMouthAmerican]

The best verson of this song I have ever heard. Smokes Hendrix.

[PatrickKingPhl]

I must correct you all. The beginning is a carbon copy of Johnny Winter. A somewhat pale one, though quite competent but I was later surprised by the beautifully original nunaces I heard once it moved forward. Nice stuff.

[christianplysgtr]

yes marino is a big fan of johnny winter.

[db1coop]

patrick king bang on, even down to the rythm which is like a hybrid Derringer/Floyd crawford. Franks is good on his own merits too

[JustM3Luck]

This is less a cover of Chuck Berry, and more a cover of Hendrix's version of the song, what with the increase in tempo and overall playing style.

[jimiexpert]

watch awesome tibetan guitarist (from switzerland?!), he will blow you away! just look for "purtag" (his name)

[captainshadowhawk]

Great guitar playing and showmanship. Frank is really something else. Man this rocks! Thanks!

[bigguy4570]

I tell you what that drummer is working his ass off as well damn.

[TSOLD9000]

one of my all time favs. world anthem is such a great album. rock on frank!!

[CCI22rmfr]

Frank Marino,possibly the most underrated guitarist in rock history,his name should be right up there with,Iommi,Clapton,Page,Hendri­x etc.

[rollerke52]

Make his guitar cry like a woman reaching her highest point!!!!!!!!

I like it!

[Zepplica911]

And they want us to listen to 80s / 90s and 00s so called music ........!!!???? It's true ROCK N ROLL was murdered by the man in early 80s (with some exception like SRV "true legend) . I'm 25 BTW , I wish I was born at least in 1960 or so at least ...... Frank Marino is not from this world !!!

[nicksredpet]

Holy Shit!!

[rollerke52]

The best better then Jimmy hendrix and Steve Vai and Huesca Cesar and Yyngwee Malmsteen that are all copiers.

Nobody can copy Frank Marino!!!!!!!

[drsostenla]

YEAH!!!

no como la mierda que intenta tocar

green day

[Tales0fTheUnexpected]

Grande Marino !!

[tariksba]

amazing video,where can I find the whole 15 mn of this incredible musician.????

[aldexrey]

way way way too fast. You can't enjoy it like that. A lot of the blusy parts are lost in the speed. Good Jam, no question, but too fast formy taste.
