no longer a stub?

It seems complete enough now, though the article could use a bit of work (the trivia is long). --Rocksanddirt 06:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Resemblance to "Cheap Sunglasses"?

edit

Am I the only one who thinks someone should have sued over this song's similarity to the ZZ Top song, "Cheap Sunglasses"? 65.248.164.214 (talk) 16:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

You realize this came out 7 years before ZZTop's Cheap Sunglasses right? More like someone should be suing over Cheap Sunglasses' similarity to this song. There's definitely a resemblance. 2601:245:C380:E380:E10D:1B75:404B:EE40 (talk) 23:36, 21 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

This song's release predates "Cheap Sunglasses" by six years. The latter song is so different from "Frankenstein" that any such lawsuit by Edgar Winter against ZZ Top would probably have been unsuccessful if not deemed frivolous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyjyljyj (talkcontribs) 05:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Ewgroup.jpg

Image:Ewgroup.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Citations

"Edgar Winter further pioneered the advancement of the synthesizer as a lead instrument by becoming the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck"

Surely that needs a citation? I don't know how to do the 'citation needed' marker, but I think it really needs to be cited from something, that's a huge claim surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.82.218 (talk) 13:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC) BetacommandBot (talk) 13:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Two versions

edit

There are two versions of this song, the album track with Ronnie Montrose (4:44) and the single version with Rick Derringer (3:25). Since this article is linked to by both the They Only Come Out at Night LP and the Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, don't you think this article should have a section discussing the differences between the two versions? —Mmathu (talk) 21:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Nationwide??

"disc jockeys nationwide were inundated with phone calls". Which nation was this then? I think we should be told, or it's totally meaningless. Emeraude (talk) 12:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please, somebody add this was featured in Guitar Hero I, as one of the final songs. --190.232.145.38 (talk) 02:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

"the first person ever to strap a keyboard instrument around his neck"

edit

I think this needs expunging or at the very least qualifying somehow, or we'll have the accordianists all in uproar! also, citation missing for it. the arp 2600 was not the first synth to have a separate keyboard-controller, & it may well have occurred to people to do this with a moog keyboard before the 2600 was even released.
