So a few weeks ago I started listening to Frank Blacks solo stuff again…It had been a few years I think…And today I watched “Loud Quiet Loud” again. It’s a documentary about the Pixies reunion. It dawns on me (after some careful math) that the Pixies recorded their first album 25 years ago…1986. The era of WTF music! And they (meaning FB – or whatever alias he wants to use) were making great music in the era of GnR, whitepuke, Bon jovi etc etc etc…
So I salute you Frank Black…I also want to note that the solo stuff he’s made is every bit the equal of the Pixies stuff. It’s a shame people don’t realize that…
At Southside 2007 (a german music festival) I think I had about 2 bands that I absolutely wanted to see (Modest Mouse and Frank Black)…both were rather sparsely attended I thought. The Frank Black show was better experience for me than say Pearl Jam, Placebo, QOTSA or whatever crappy bands I saw that year 😉

anyways, so 25 years after your first recording makes you eligible for the RnR hall of fame right? How weird is that?
I also realize that he does a lot of clever stuff/riffs on Rhythm guitar…go Charles!
and I’m also adding that Frank Black is the genius of his generation IMHO 😉
