Frank settled down in the Valley, and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead. He sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put a down payment on a little two bedroom place. His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind. They had a thoroughly modern kitchen; self-cleaning oven (the whole bit) Frank drove a little sedan. They were so happy. One night Frank was on his way home from work, stopped at the liquor store, picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s. Drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can. Drove home, doused everything in the house, torched it. Parked across the street laughing, watching it burn, all Halloween orange and chimney red. Frank put on a top forty station, got on the Hollywood Freeway headed North. Never could stand that dog.

It's 9 minutes and 9 seconds, really long, but really cool.

Ok, all my first impressions...
Sweetly fuzzed out gat figure on repeat, w/ John's usual flair for wah and bar action. The drums are equally as powerful in the mix here!!! (very Bonham - think Levy Breaks). I could hear a full album's worth of this kind of stuff. Tasty, trippy and epic. Welcome back Fru, killer opener.

Seriously this could be my favourite song of ever. Ive always wanted to hear a long trippy instrumental from John and we got one at last. Had to listen to song to siren first but this is the second song I heard and if theres more of this to come im in heaven!

World is way a place of different opinions, I must admit. For me that was just a song 9 minutes long. *dunno*

Bring on the differing opinions, they're only first impressions as well. I dont read a thing before I post them so its more interesting to compare after.

That one part (three notes to be exact) reminded me of that song from Free Willy that the kid Jesse plays on his mouth organ/accordion. 
Edit: Yep, listen to the beginning. Familiar, isn't it?
Just for a second though.

That's a great interpretation. After I read your comment, I listened to the song again, and you're absolutely right. One thing is for sure, there is an obscene amount of emotion in it.

I love the production on this whole record. If you close your eyes during this song and many of the songs on the album you can see the music like an amoeba pulsating and moving around. And that was a sober interpretation! Definitely psychedelia at its finest!

I'll agree it's quite spacey and flowing, but as for always wanting to a hear a long trippy instrumental, I was thinking his song Sphere was QUITE trippy. Electronic trippy though. Now I've used the word "trippy" entirely too much.

I heard just the beginning of the song yet, 'cause I wanna have the perfect moment when the CD arrives and I'll put it into the CD-Player. :]
But this very short part I listened to, was real great!

Wow that was an awesome song. Totally agree with the singing with his guitar part. It reminded me of the solo from Parallel Universe at Slane Castle just because I could really feel his guitar and every note he played was like...ah I can't even express it. But that was a great song.
Everything in its right place.
