Hands up to one of his best titled songs.
It is a great avatar name.
I love this stuff about frank, using a great historical name like that to reference a more modern one. Yet a laymon would never know the difference.
Has a bad ass sounding riff. Its very simple but climbs and lifts off the frets perfectly.
I love his playful and drawn out vocal delivery on this..."tiiiiime....if he could travel tiiimme"
One of the top 10 most fun to play and sing.
Fave Line: "Time, if he could travel time, he would have been on time".
Genius

You bet! Playful yet complex song with great dynamics and layered lyrics. One could almost extend the meaning to the actual Nicolas II Czar, who ran out of time. The Russians just said no? Exactly. They ended up killing him.
In my book, this is one of the most "typical" FB song i.e. exemplary in style, music, topic.
Great great great stuff!

This song is easily as much fun as kicking a bolshevik

| One of my all time favorites. After hearing it the second third and fiftieth time I could not believe my ears. Why Frank isn't universally considered the heavy weight champ of rock I'll never know. He should be featured in guitar magazines on an annual basis. Rather than playing "Guitar Hero" kids would actually take up the real thing. |

I went to Pacific Grove, CA, this winter to see the Monarch butterflies, and saw a plaque on a bench that said "John Denver - The Legacy Continues". I only realized today that is the place where he crashed.
This trip was filled with FB references actually.
