This vid is cut short and the sound isn't as good as the same one put up by cerebralparsley without the excellent end cut out two minutes longer Rocks
This has got to be among the best rock instrumentals ever - right up there with "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Coincidentally, both are perfect for the 2am to 6am slot.
This is how shit was done back in the day. Nowadays youngsters think they're talented by barking off rhymes in a mike....FUCKING PITIFUL! Longlive the 70's!
Frankenstein! Is most definately one of my favorite classic rock songs, Edgar Winter and his band are talented, Very talented! Edgar played the hell out of the timbales, The dude is good!
Cross dresses? I don't think so. Most bands dressed on the 70s: Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Rush, Black Sabbath, Sweet, Rolling Stones, Slade, T Rex, Ted Nugent, etc. A lot of bands dressed like nut cases or cross dresses but that was what sparked controversy during the time (which helped them reach fame).
Awesome! Actual MUSICIANS playing instruments (and multiple ones, at that) and making MUSIC! Sure not like the "noise" we're mostly hearing these days....
Just awesome! I love long instrumental work-outs and this is one of the best. There is no chance any "live/as live" music show would allow a band nearly 10 mins of airtime these days, sadly.
hey this was the "shit" back then ...meaning if you were there when it first came out ...it was "BAD FUCKIN ASS" i loved it then and it still kicks ass
You are all a bunch of idiots cuz this is the coolest sh' ever! Especially with Derringer on guitar, a mix of jazz fuck rock and yes even metal you dumb asses. Notice the drummer is actually PLAYING the drums & not beating the hell out of 'em like most supposedly great rock/metal drummers of today do.
What I litsen to is perfectly fine, and if your saying that the Air Raid Siren is crap, you have to be the gayest person on Earth. And I admit, I can't play the sax or the keyboard, but at least I'll never be THAT. So why don't you take yourself and the handfull of people that think that Edgar Winter is talented, and go fuck yourselves.
He got that name alegedly in college when him and his friends were seening if they could shatter glass by hitting a high note with their voices. Bruce was the only one who was able to do it, so his friends gave him that name as a joke.
Yeah, in my opinion he's really good. But thats not about Frankenstein. All Im saying is that I didn't like one little thing in the song. Otherwise, I think this is a really good song. Thats all im saying.
Luke Skywalker or not, this was a time when guys could actually play the instruments in thier hands.Today there is no one worthy of holding a Les Paul let alone "attempting" to play it.70's rock rules.

Define creep please. This was one hell of a piece. Don't care how they looked. My sixteen year old son did not realize that Winter is albino. He thought he had bleached hair.
Yes, Edgar & Johnny Winter are albinos, Texas gentlemen, beyond brilliant geniuses and KILLER MUSICIANS!!! Edgar can play Rock, Blues, Jazz, Be Bop and anything else you can think of. So can Johnny althought his main thing nowadays is Blues, Blues and more BLues. The drummer is Chuck Ruff who lives in Reno now and had his excellent Chuck Ruff Band together.
Holy shit! I remember watching this on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" when I was 15. It impressed me so much I've never forgotten it. Wonderful to see it again. What incredible energy in an empty t.v studio....who's the drummer? He's good...
I was 18 years old when this song came out. I had my stereo upstairs cranked to the max. Near the end of the song my mother comes running into the room and yells: "Your stereo is blowing up... turn it off... turn it off... hurry... HURRY!" I laughed till I nearly collapsed.
Lord, I'm only ninteen and I prefer this to anything today has to offer, unless it's a Japense artist like Gackt or Dir En Grey. THIS is music, ya'll, not 'Fergie' or 'Green Day'. THIS is what I mean when I say those other bands- and the 'American Idol' wanna bes- are fake.
