The name came from the fact this was a bunch of different "songs" Edgar was working on. He put all these different pieces together in one song. So the name Frankenstein is very fitting.
I heard on an interview once that this song came about because the band was doing an album and felt it was done. The label came to them and said they owed them another song and the discussion got a little heated before the band said “Fine” and went back and put this together. In was kinda done in spite but it turned out to be a hit. The white haired guy is Edgar Winter and he is an albino. As a child he was somewhat sickly so instead of sports like the other boys he was in the house learning all he could about making music. He knows how to play a wide variety of instruments and likes to do it in his songs. By the way that keyboard he has or as it’s sometimes called a Keytar was something that Edgar is credited with developing.
@@stevedavis5704 Don't forget his brother Johnny also an albino
After Having Grown Up Listening To This, I Feel Pity For The Lot Of Young People, Who Believe That What They Listen or Play To Now, Is Music.
These are real musicians !
Thankyou both for playing this !
Edgar is incredibly talented, the Guy can do it all! His Brother Johnnie is also very talented, he passed away recently. When Frankenstien hit Radio Waves it blew everyones mind, no one had ever heard anything like it...Masterpiece! This song is MONSTEROUS... The reason Egar was banging on the keyboard was to get everything vibrating and creating feedback, in turn it allowed him to control the feedback and create all those crazy sounds.
The little guy in white playing guitar is Rick Derringer who's had a few hits of his own.
I saw him open for Heart back in 1977. Man he was so loud for a small arena.
Always like your reactions- thank you!!
Edgar is still active and in fact recently released an album titled "Brother Johnny" which won a Grammy as the best blues album of 2023.
The ending reminds me of every college art exhibit I attended with multi-media abstraction and chaotic combinations. I applaud his efforts to make the show extra-special.
I am really enjoying your reactions! 😊 keep it up! 😊 thank you so much! ❤
This still standing the test of time what an innovative great jam
My daughter is a 'noisician' and drew inspiration from this song, as well as Tom Waits' songs and of course many others
Genius.
ANOTHER GREAT SONG TY!!!
You should hear him sing with his brother Johnny on Tobacco Road
I remember when I was in my early teens the guitarist of my band knocking on my door with this record in his hand and saying "you've got to listen to this".
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
We played it about 10 times in a row.
Still love it.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
The guitar player is Rick Derringer.
All great Halloween reactions today. Later after Halloween, you would like Johnny Winter & Edgar Winter - Tobacco Road (Live) it's 9:20 long from 1972
Yes, please.
Cool, one of the baddest jams in the land. 50yrs later it still kicks serious ass.
Lots of musical bits and pieces stitched together into one piece of music...Frankenstein.
Frankenstein is associated with Halloween so good one! This performance is great!
Great reaction, you two !!! The actual story is that Edgar got his new ARP Synthesizer, but he got bored after taking only 2-3 lessons, so they went into the studio and played for hours and hours while he experimented with it. They recorded everything they did. When they were done, they gathered up all the tape and began cutting and splicing excerpts together until they came up with the general version that they wanted to release ... which was quite a bit shorter that this version is here ... and the name became immediately obvious to them. Frankenstein's monster was assembled from many different parts to form 1 monster, and so was this track. Update: I forgot to mention that the album version is much more cohesive and "cool", not dwelling on some parts as they do here, and things like the sax solo and the "freak-out on the synthesizer" weren't included, so it was much more "radio-friendly". It was also VERY popular at the time ... no one had ever heard anything like it.
These guys were so inventive,Rock Jazz Fusions
There were loose reel tapes laying around the studio room in a mess and the drummer said it looked like Frankenstein and they joined the tapes together and got the idea for the song
THIS WAS ON ALL THE JUKEBOXES BACK IN THE DAY
He was part of Ringo Starr's All Star Band. I got to see them last year and hr performed this. Dude is 78 (I think) and he still can play like he's 28. It was awesome to witness it.
Only in America 😊
Says she doesn't care much for it while dancing in her seat.......love it, and you ❤
Edgar & his late brother, Johnnie, were both legally blind due to albinism. As albinos, their formative years were spent indoors, where they focused on and developed their music artistry. Both brilliant musicians.
This is from their album "They Only Come Out at Night". When this song was released, most radio stations would only play the short version and every now and then they would play the long version (similar to what you are listening to here) which, IMO, was much better. They do sing on other songs on the album. Another one to check out from the same album is 'Free Ride'.
Drummer Chuck Ruff walked in and saw all the pieces of tape and said looks like Frankenstein
The first album I ever bought when I was 12. Still have it!
This video is from a British music show called "The Old Grey Whistle Test' BBC 2, which used to be presented by a guy called 'Whispering Bob Harris' due to his rather calm and quiet introductions to the bands.
Bob Harris moved to radio afterwards and is still a much loved proponent of progressive music in the UK.
The show itself ran from the early 70s to the mid 80's.
Edgar was eclectic in his music to be sure. His catalogue is quite diverse. His biggest album (i believe) was 'They Only Come Out at Night'. The song Free Ride was a radio friendly hit back in the day.
It is a monster of music.😊
There are two Brothers Edgar and Johnny Winter, extremely talented Musicians. Just for your information Frankenstein was the name of the Dr who made the Monster. the Monster never had a name.
So much talent.awesome.
There actually is one word to describe this group. Talent.
I don't know how many times I have watched this video, ON MY OWN!!! LOL
Great reaction guys.
Y'all be safe. ( A little Texas slang there.)
I like the way you say Frankenstein.
Hello you guys ---A and D---good choice...however, if you want to hear this guy sing ( Edgar Winter ) you should listen to a song he did with his famous brother ( Johnny Winter )....The song is called ...Tobacco Road...Quite an amazing performance. And yes, I LOVE YOU GUYS and all your great reactions. Peace.
In the old days both Edgar Winter and his brother Johnny Winter would have been persecuted for their albinism. My sister did lights and roadie work for them in the 70s and she confirmed what we all know. They are both rock icons to this day.
MASTERPIECE!!! LOVED your REACTION!!! INVIGORATING!! HUGS!❤One of my FAVORITE SONGS from the 70s!! Both Edgar and his brother Johnny were SO TALENTED!! Don't know if you've reacted to Tobacco Road -but, it's ALSO VERY COOL!!!
❤❤❤❤
Frankenstein was the "Doctor's" name, not the "monster" (dead body he tried to bring back to life). ...the instrumental was called Frankenstein because of it's "craziness" etc.
A timeless masterpiece!
Whole band is incredible musicians💯
Him and his brother have a great video of the song Tobacco Road.
Weirdness at its finest - right up there with Zappa and Beefheart. Love it.
Had the chance to see Edgar in the states at a bar in North Carolina was very high.
I was five when this came out and my older brother had the album. I absolutely loved it lol. I still love it every time I hear it.
This was at the old grey Whistle Stop from what I hear it was a UK TV show 1973
Awesome reaction guys, I enjoyed it... Liked and Subb. Thank you!
I recommend you reacting to 4th Impact a Filipino girl group that audition on X Factor UK which their name at that time is "4th Power",
The Number one most Viewed on X Factor History. They Sing "Bang Bang" (Jessie J hit song).
"Bang Bang" (Jessie J hit song) Link .... ua-cam.com/video/H7YRRaOgpUk/v-deo.html
I believe Edgar himself said that the name came from the fact that the song was spliced together from various projects. He said that it was like putting together Frankenstein from pieces of recorded tape.
Edgar was the first person to strap a keyboard around him, because he wanted to be able to move around.
Just a jam session him and his brother Johnny play together on Tobacco Road and he sings they are both albinos
Edgar and brother Johnny who is a great blues guitarist and not in this video jammed together and Tobacco Road is great video of them live together. There are actually lyrics and singing in it. lol
Frankenstein is a novel featuring the named character composed of different body parts from different dead people come alive. Hence, the name of the song composed of diverse elements.
It's the product of a lot of songs put together
He's a magician, musician, mad scientist all rolled into one just like Frankenstein's monster!
😂 Would you believe they played this on the radio! And in America, we had a TV show, 'The Midnight Special ' he appeared on. Very similar to this show. 🤔 Or was it Ron Delsners Rock Concert? 😏 Could have been the show 'American Bandstand'. 😁 We didn't have Internet & only knew what a Singer/Band looked like, if they appeared on the Record Album Cover. 🤔 Also Johnny Carson show, 😏 which I would sometimes be allowed to stay up and watch on a school night. 🙄 Pre Internet & Google Search was rough for us old timers. 😳 We actually had to look stuff up in 📚 Encyclopedias & Dictionaries back in the day. 🥰🐰
There's 2 ways that "Frankenstein" is appropriate for this piece. First, it was 'stitched together' out of several sessions when the band recorded themselves having 'jam sessions' and liked parts, so it's assembled from pieces from all over, and secondly, it's a bit of a lumbering monster.
This is like Quincy Jones and the Parliament Of Funk combined. ❤
That synthesizer is an ARP 2600. It's a classic synth and still popular today.
If you want to hear him sing, watch the video with his brother, Johnny Winter: “Tobacco Road.”
Edgar just finished a tour with Ringo's All Starr Band and he still does Frankenstein at age 76 Go Edgar
Edgar is Dr. Frankenstein and the song is his Monster stitched together from ideas he had laying around the studio.
Dude,you make me laugh... Great videos!!
The name Frankenstein came from the drummer who said this song was something like Frankenstein's monster being created with all these different parts to it.
Love the reaction!! ♥ also.... When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
It is a Frankenstein of a song in that like the monsters body the song was made of so many different pieces and it does have some things that you could tie into the original Frankenstein movie like Edgar making the keyboard make growling noises and stomping noises similar to the monter growling and walking around and the synth making the electronics noises simulating Dr Frankenstein applying electricity to the monster to bring it alive. Some may disagree and say i'm reading too much into it and that is fine, i'm 68 years old and i've heard this song hundreds of times.
In essence, "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group doesn't tell the story of Frankenstein explicitly through lyrics but rather seems to draw you into the atmosphere and themes of the Frankenstein story through its music. I think it’s a creative and imaginative connection, allowing the listener to draw parallels between the song and the classic tale of the scientist and his monstrous creation. Other than that it’s just music and as we all know it’s open for interpretation I suppose it could be a giant bumble bee flying and hitting things on it’s way home. I have no idea but you two always give a great reaction and I always feel somehow better just seeing how peaceful and at the same time playful you too are. Keep up the great reactions you both make people’s lives better. Steven
I think of the story of the creation of Frankenstein, and it fits.
React to Johnny and Edgar Winter performing Tobacco Road live the two most talented albinos ever
It may have already been said, but his “white “ hair is natural, as Edgar is an albino - a unique man and music !
Blimey that bloke off The Sweet is versatile!
Another fact about "The Old Grey Whistle Test" is that when Judas Priest performed live, the cameramen and producer's of the show thought they were too loud and covered their amplifiers with carpet to reduce the noise!
You can see it still on UA-cam. DREAMER/DECEIVER -Old Grey Whistle Test.
Yes you are correct this was put together from but and pieces music that they couldn't find a place for. So they created this.
If only bands now had a single ounce of this band's talent, i may listen to them.
Experimentation and weirdness seems to have been forgotten for auto-tune, bland songs and unimaginative lyrics.
Thank God for the 1970s.
IT'S ALiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiVE!!!!!!!!!!
In 1957 a late night tv horror program featuring the Frankenstein movie was being watched at home by my five older siblings. At that very same time mom was giving birth to me at the hospital. So while Frankenstein was being “born” so was I. They never let me forget that….It’s Alive, It’s Alive.
Yeah, the name did kind of come from the fact that it was a piece together song first.. The drums was actually supposed to have been a double Drum solo with his brother. But his brother didn't want to do it. And the saxophone piece was something he was working on for another song but left out. But the main part the keyboard. He did that to showcase the keyboard because he invented it😅😅
Edgar is playing the keytar,which he invented!
No disco...Pure Funk
The guy plays a world class keyboard and saxophone and a more than passable drums and you want more? You want him to be an excellent singer too? Well he's that too, BTW. You can hear him sing on videos I know other people will suggest.
Frankenstein was a doctor who pieced together a monster, people generally think of Frankenstein as the monster for some reason though.
IT’S ALIVE!!!!!!! 😳
Next, Tobacco Road please! They're albino brothers from Beaumont TX down the road from where I live! 🔥🤘😎
she got so scared by the monster she froze he said are you all right
You should react to Young Frankenstein. One of the greatest satire of all times.
This is the first real music vinyl record i bought when i was 9 yesrs old. That was the moment I dropped AM radio and their boring: childhood silly simple and noring pop musics .and when I flound serious music o.n FM stationss. Much improvement in musician quality. That i immediatelyy switch to this musi
What do you do when you're in the music store checking out the latest synthesizer. You hang it over your neck and call it a keytar.
Edgar has one more instrument. It's his voice. Listen to him sing Tobacco Road.
✌️🤠🏞️🐂
This was interesting. A few comments: Yes, Halloween is big here in the States. I don't happen to like it. When my kids were young, we moved to New Zealand. They attempted to carry on the Halloween tradition there and were met with a lot of rudeness. This isn't "Halloween" music per se. The keyboard around his neck was the first portable keyboard made. I took a class in Electronic music in the early 1970's. The idea of using it in popular music was in its infancy. There were a few groups, mostly in the jazz rock genre that were experimenting with it. As others stated, the Winter brothers were immensely talented. Johnny focused on blues guitar while Edgar was a talented multi instrumentalist and also a talented singer though it's not shown here.
Frankenstein was the Scientist that created the Monster. Also Frankenstein in the States is a reference to putting things together that are not to be a part of the whole.
I was wondering whether you've been exposed to this! GREAT!! Quite exhilarating!
Its not really a Halloween song , but try Madness- one step beyond.
Ghost Town
They could also try a little Ozzy- bark at the moon🥴
think of this Tune as the Frankenstien's lab and the machines it takes to give life are whirling and chugging and electricity is blazing ... all the give life to a monster
The title of the song fits well. A bunch of parts thrown together to make a masterpiece..
Wait till you hear him sing the blues Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter - Tobacco Road (Live) ua-cam.com/video/af0rV6dli_o/v-deo.html
Duke 'Ellington said "if it sounds good, it is good." Did it sound good?
Whatever you want to call it
I just noticed so. The original brothers, Frank and Albert didn't start their musical until much later in life. Both of them were extremely intelligent, but their ethics diverged widely. Albert ,made so ma yi ve ovten fkrget that Al ert hzd hi hang in nearly every every concept and widget that we nearly forget the gfezt mi d whoimagined the clever idea and so it is sometimes difficult to give Albert his rightful credit.

Ent most his life digging up corpses and trying to reanimate them. Very controversial, even today
The basic riff is heavy and bad to the bone - like Frankenstein. And yes, the musical pieces are all put together, like his body.
Or jams
Edgar does sing but not in this song. He and his older brother Johnnie were born in Beaumont Texas. They are Albinos born legally blind. Because they were sensitive to the light they stayed inside alot and learned to play multiple instruments. Their was a musician too.
