Coooommmeee on take a FREE RIDE!

[MultiShades]

wonder why Jonny and Edger never played together in a band --or did they --let me know --peace

[littlemisslockett]

@MultiShades they did play together but mostly had separate bands since they do different music toeach other, Johnny is mostly a blues guy and Edgar a bit more funky.

[pretorious700]

NO NO NO not a falsetto lead vocal! blasphemy....sorry no balls

[SkidZXChevyBeat]

i like when the mute notes come in during the beginning and makes that scraping sound

[Lespaul20155]

@SkidZXChevyBeat haha muting, yeah, it adds funk!

[Thejbirdy]

A GREAT FAVORITE!!!!! Who couldn't dig this?

Jbirdy from Charlottesvile.

[salvadoredelle]

wow different from the good old days but still way cool!

A little too clean and not raw like the old Edgar Winter... these guys are slick players... in the old days they were just pumping it out raw and wild it looks like the key parts are a sequenced part... he counts it off and starts it you hear keys all throughout the song but only see him actually play the spacey white noise section on his strap on!

still i dig it... sequence and all that is hard to pull off live on stage too.

[CedricJMatous]

AWESOMENESS!!! =D

[xojbabyxo]

awesome song,, we need more comments man...this is amazing!

[exnewsanchor]

wow in Roanoke one of my old news markets WDBJ was our competition. When Edgar came out with FRANKENSTEIN I was floored.I Had to run out and buy it!

[yeksihWtaC]

I've always admired Edgar Winter's singing, piano/keys playing since I was a teenager, but I'm very disappointed that these days he usually evidently doesn't play the keys himself. I want to hear HIM play the piano/keys, not some other guy! You know? It would be just GREAT to hear him play a beautiful grand, AND sing! C'mon Edgar!

[DinerDave]

Edgar still plays the keys, but it's preprogrammed into his synth computer. Timing and pace are spot on, but I've seen them scramble when the start timing is off or some other computer glitch happens. Search for "Free Ride-Taste of Enfield" his synth failed in that song, then there was a 10 minute delay to get it reprogramed for the next song.

He's alot more alive looking than Johhny, who looks like an emaciated corpse poor guy ):
