Comments:
| My favorite song by him is "Show Me The Way" from the album Frampton Comes Alive. It just makes me giddy and lightheaded. Probably the best love song ever!!! - Jordan, Brooklyn, NY |
| I'm a Frampton fan, I find him a fantastic -but kinda underrated- musician, though he seemed very popular in the '70s.
I love his stuff, even the songs that arn't featured on 'Frampton Comes Alive!'. Though it's still one of my all-time favourite albums! - Katie, Melbourne, Australia |
| now, correct me if i'm wrong, but im pretty sure that if you release the best selling live album in history you career isn't ruined - max, boston, MA |
| In the early 70's Frampton was considered one of the worlds leading rock guitarists, often called the "Prince of Guitar". - LARRY, TEXAS CITY, VA |
| that didn't ruin his career, i think that's the highest selling live album of all time - sdfsdf, U.S., IL |
| Frampton Comes Alive ruined his career everytime he wanted to play something new everybody would want to hear songs from Frampton Comes Alive - Jes, Canal Fulton, OH |
| Two of the best rock/blues live recordings ever released, Peter Frampton was an integral part of both. "Frampton comes Alive" and "Humble Pie--Rockin' the Fillmore." - Don, Pittsburgh, PA |
| Peter also appeared on Family Guy, when Peter gets hit by lightning
he sings Baby, I love your way - Ryan, edmonton, Canada |
| Totally underated as a guitar player he is considered to much as a pop artist instead of a rock and roll artist. Love you Peter and so does your family of friends. Saw Peter with Styx in Concord California blew me away how good he really is. - David, Antioch, CA |
