-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... 
Кино
Hey guys!!! Was AWESOME getting to check this out!! So killer, what is the next track we got to check out in this vein, let us know!! 🙌🏻🔥
It's a bit of a deep cut, but I'd highly recommend City Slang by Sonic's Rendezvous Band, which also feature's MC5's Fred 'Sonic' Smith as well as several other Detroit rock musicians. It's the only song they ever recorded at the time, due them only having enough money to record one song, but it's a banger!
“1969” or “Dirt” from the Stooges. When you’re ready for the Velvet Underground, try “I Heard Her Call My Name.”

In the uncensored version of the song, Rob Tyner yells “its time to kick out the jams, motherfuckers,” which makes them 10 times more badass
It was sad not hearing the motherfuckers. So important.
As Bob Seger once said, “ Deetroit Michigan! The home of Rock-n-Roll!” MC5 stands for Motor City 5.
Exactly!! Rock was NOT BORN (or even raised after the birth) in Cleveland!! I've completely been discombobulated as to how and WHY the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame was housed in that city that never gave birth to ANY rock. Nor, any major rock band. Huh?
Example: Memphis had the birth of Memphis Blues which was ONLY ONE of the cities that gave birth to the BLUES...the bricks and mortar foundation of Rock! And that was one city/region. But, Cleveland wasn't one of them. That was some political BS if you ask me. Can anyone say, "Sun Records"?! I Memphis? Elvis,Jerry Lee, and so many more were in THAT studio puttin' out the early stuff. And even that wasn't the beginning of Rock. What bands and what studios and session musicians were in Cleveland? Especially in mass quantities.
What about England that brought over innovative Rock that was born there DUE TO THEM LISTENING TO THE BLUES FROM MANY PLACES DOWN SOUTH? They then brought over groundbreaking ROCK. Who forgot "The British Invasion"?
And simultaneously to ALL those British boys who were influenced completely by American Black Blues was Detroit's SOUL MUSIC. Both were happening in 1961 thru 1965 (we didn't hear the British Boys until they actually began the invasion from 1964).
Then, Detroit began churning out its own Rock Sound. Bob Seger was very local in mid-late 1960's around the Midwest...the Great Lakes region. And late 60's then had its I own MOTOR CITY ROCK that began to spread. And it was an incredible sound, indeed. MC5 was just SO INFLUENTIAL on absolutely countless, countless musicians around the world. Detroit just killed it!
The original meaning was that MC5 sounded like a sku# for a car part ruclips.net/video/fCpraOqLuKY/видео.html
@@6teezkid Largely you are correct, but the Dead Boys were from Cleveland, and that's pretty fucking punk rock.
Thoughts:
- If you liked MC5, then you’re going to really like the Stooges I think. I Wanna Be Your Dog, Search and Destroy, Down On the Street. Iggy Pop is a very dynamic performer, so one day check out something live.
- Kick out the jams meant to let it all go, lose all inhibitions.
- Don’t stop here. Late 60s/early 70s punk pioneers had the most rawest sound, but the attitude was passed on through the decade.
-MC5 were indeed a different breed of band in ‘69. Their first album cover says it all, sweaty, greasy or something, but you knew something new was unfolding.
🥰
I remember buying the album when it first came, mostly because the album cover looked to rebellious and in your face. I'd never heard of MC5. Their songs did not get a lot of FM airplay, at least in the NYC area. I though MC5 music was more a mugging than a musical experience, when it was cranked. I listened to Kick Out the Jams mother fucker whenever I needed to be mauled out of the typical progressive radio playlists of the day. It was like a stake through the heart of James Taylor and Cat Stevens.
@@Peter7966 I remember thumbing through my brother’s albums when I was a kid. His music wasn’t really my taste, at least at that time. I stumbled across Back In the USA, and went, huh, they’re kind of smelly-looking. Thankfully I grew up, and later started listening on my own realizing their music was anything but smelly. I now love that album and own it myself. You’re right, they are an assault on the senses, but that’s the appeal for me.
Try to pick footage of his younger days, today he looks like 50 lbs of tanned leather shuffling around stage. lol.
Stooges: 1969!!
"Search and Destroy" by Iggy and the Stooges is your next logical step.
Fuck yeah!
I Wanna Be Your Dog is a good one for the Stooges, too
If ya wanna go Stooges, Dirt is my pick
Indeed! Or Gimme Danger, or TV Eye, or Down On The Street, I Wanna Be Your Dog … awesome stuff!
Gimme Danger should be the one after that.
You cut off the introduction! MC5 were a huge influence on punk, along with fellow Detroit legends The Stooges. You know who else was hugely influential? The Velvet Underground. To answer your question, the difference between late 1960s punk and late 1970s punk is mainly that the earlier bands were inventing a genre, a creative act. In the 70s, punk bands were reacting to prog rock by revisiting roots like rockabilly and Chuck Berry. The 70s punks were more destructive than creative, they wanted to tear things down.
Don't forget Lemmy. It was MC5 that inspired him to start Motorhead
Right now Right now it's time to...
@Luuk Hulsman - I was gonna post that same thing. Sadly, second release (?) changed mf'ers to "brothers and sisters"... I still have the album - maybe the 3rd or 4th album I ever bought!
Not the same without the intro.
@Luuk Hulsman It’s funny you mention that.That intro got the album banned from Hudson’s department stores.And MC5,in true form put out a newspaper ad that said “Kick Out The Jams.And Fuck Hudson’s.
If you really wanted to horrify your parents in 1969, this was the album you brought home and played loudly.
"The Jams" was a slang term for the police. The MC5 would literally try to scare the cops away from their shows. It turned into a catch phrase for them. "Kick out the jams, motherfucker. They're jamming up the party."
These guys didn't open doors for others to follow they kicked them off the door frame. In my opinion one of rock's most influential bands.
" they kicked them off the door frame." Indeed. "jams" are door jams.
Then, technically, that would be "Kick Out the Jambs"! I suppose if they did a song wherein they were thrashing a bakery, and wanted to rid the store of, say, strawberry preserves, it might also be "Kick Out the Jams." Or, even if they wanted to rid the world of Paul Weller tribute bands.😎👍😁
And it’s a damn shame they still aren’t in the RRHOF 😡
You shouldn't have skipped the intro, which was legendary at the time. Glad you liked it! For an even earlier surprise, try 'Summertime Blues' by Blue Cheer, and play it LOUD.
"Summertime Blues" is great, but it sounds like the 60s -- this song sounds like it has separated itself from time.
Right on about the intro. Reminds me a bit of the single version of that Stevie Miller song (funky kicks, really???) that gets played all the time. The spoken intro to Kick our the Jams sets the tone for the whole song.
Hell, yeah!
blue cheer were great - their cover of Satisfaction but Led Zep copped the riff from them in their song the Hunter for the song on Led Zep 1 How Many More Times
They didn’t skip the intro. This is a different version.
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues, energy 🔥🤘1968
Yes. I recently requested this on their reaction to Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Hell yeah! Fits right in
Definitely. A better song, I think...
Before the MC5 and the Stooges, there was.....The Seeds. "Pushin' Too Hard" from 1966 is the bridge between 60s psychedelia and punk/garage rock. Two great chords, five great albums!!
I agree. Pushing Too Hard is awesome. The early music especially live from The Who is phenomenal. Check out Live At Leeds.
Before them were The Sonics.
Yes to the Seeds. They got some nasty in 'em.
@@maceomaceo11 The Sonics also got some nasty in 'em. Strychnine is my fave, but they've got a few gems.
@@burmajones803 Sky Saxon plays Heavy Metal Wurlitzer Piano.
"Kick Out The Jams" covered by Blue Oyster Cult from their Live album 'Some Enchanted Evening" '78
still my favorite version. A must listen.
Completely agree
“KICK OUT THE JAMS BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!”
BOC did a great cover, even better than this original
It is a blistering version!
Presidents of The United States of America did a great cover of this as well!!
MC for Motor City (Detroit) 5 for 5 guys
The Sonics were 1965 and are considered the first band that cranked the amps. The Witch, Psycho, Have Love Will Travel. Compared to what was happening musically, you be blown away.
"Cinderella", "Shot Down", "Boss Hoss", they were playing this way in '63-'64 before ever stepping into a studio. Outlandish way to behave in public for the time. Punk/Thrash Metal/Hard Rock all starts with The Sonics.
I 2nd this suggestion.
@@burmajones803 3rd
Fred "Sonic" Smith married Patti Smith. You guys listened to her "Gloria". Try "Horses" next.
^^this.^^
I'm impressed that Patti, wordsmith that she is, resisted what must have been a temptation to hyphenate her name to Patti Smith-Smith.
Her song 'Frederick' was about him.
Once married, they became the Smiths. I am learning rock history here.
@@meadish Oh, I know. I had my tongue planted firmly in cheek suggesting a hyphenated name!😁I met Patti once, and had her autograph my copy of "Babel."
"Ramblin' Rose" is another banger off this album. "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" too.
There is a live video of Ramblin Rose that shows their energy.
@@johndrx165 yeah! Classic! The energy is like no other, I'm your fave and raw!
Stooges song "1969" Motor City 5 was one of the loudest bands I ever heard.
Did you guys cut out the intro? It's a shame if you didn't have the infamous intro when you checked out this song, but I get if you had to cut it out due to censorship. You two definitely need to check out Iggy and The Stooges (Search and Destroy and I Wanna Be Your Dog).
The album version on Spotify and Apple Music doesn’t have it, which I’m sure is what they’re using. It’s restored in more of the compilations.
You mentioned how the proto-punk stuff like the MC5 sounds different to the punk of the late 70's and "regressed". Something to keep in mind is that these movements were counterpoints to popular music of their times. Groups like the Stooges and MC5 were reacting to the psychedelic/hippie movement. That scene was all about peace, love, and flower power. It's music reflected that. Groups like the MC5 just didn't identify with that, and wanted to make music that was loud, fast, aggressive, and reflected the revolutionary spirit and violence of their times. Punks in the late 70's were instead reacting to prog rock. Over the course of the 70's, rock music became longer, more technically complex, and the presentation became more outlandish. Prog bands were releasing triple-albums about dungeons and dragons-type subject matter, with 10-20 minute songs, and required education at a music conservatory to play. Punk groups like The Ramones were basically out to give the middle finger to all of that. No guitar solos, no songs over 3 minutes, not having much technical proficiency, these were conscious artistic choices. Basically they wanted everything to be rough, ugly, and fast. They wanted make it so rock n' roll could be played by anybody, and they wanted music that was fun and hit you in the gut immediately. Stripping rock down to its brutal basic. So that's what always needs to be remembered when comparing these 2 scenes, and why punk in-general can be rather technically simplistic.
Very good explanation!
Great comment
This, and all of this. I kind of feel like the time may be right for more of this, actually.
The MC5. Ask any older rock band and they'll tell you that MC5 was a major influence. Great choice.
SOOOO much musical talent came out of the Detroit area. Pick a decade and a genre and there's someone awesome from Detroit. Thanx for sharing this! ~Be Blessed
Perfect song to do next..."Summertime Blues" by Blue Cheer
I’d do “Second Time Around” or “Doctor, Please” instead. Not to say “Summertime Blues” would be bad.
Lou, I recommended that song months ago.
Parchman Farm
If you haven't done Iggy Pop yet, you should. He started with the Stooges around the time MC5 started.
The Five were mentors to the Stooges.
I am a 66 year old rockin' Grandma and MC5 was my first ever concert. I still have the ticket stub from 1969..Guys..why did you cut out the beginning of the song "Kick out the Jams- Mother F..ers"..it is like their war cry..a DJ accidentally played that version on the radio and because of strict censorship..he was fired..I love you two..
This version doesn't contain the classic intro line that set the tone for the song. It shocked more than a few people. Check out the live versions on RUclips. Motor City 5 were groundbreakers!
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
You guys are killing it!! Definitely need to check out Iggy and The Stooges: "Search and Destroy", "1969" and many more. New York Dolls: " Trash" "Personality Crisis", "Jet Boy". Sex Pistols: "Anarchy in the UK", "Pretty Vacant". Great reaction Gents!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They ready for Roadrunner, Modern Lovers?!
@@burmajones803 Funny you should mention that, as I seriously debated whether or not to put Modern Lovers on the above list. I think they're ready, but ML are fairly obscure, hoping to get them played on a livestream perhaps. What do you think?
for The Pistols I'd recommend first and foremost "Holiday's In The Sun" ruclips.net/video/UyfCFA2lizg/видео.html
MC5 - ha ha. I didn't know they were even on the radar. It stands for "Motor City 5". The most famous version of this song starts out with Rob Tyner screaming at the crows "kick out the jams mouther f***ers".
Once upon a time, there was a place called the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. It was the first concert venue on the east coast-ish. MC5 played there frequently. The mantra for that venue was “kick out the jams”, which meant any bands coming there to play better bring their A game. Now on to the Stooges!
Detroit is "east coast-ish"? It's a ten-hour drive from Detroit to the Atlantic Ocean!
The first original concert venue was in Los Angeles. So given that the second was way east of that in Detroit, that’s the way they referred to it. I get the geography, trust me. Any way, the MC5 played there and the Stooges. and so many others. The Who played Tommy there first. If you like punk or rock history, there’s a documentary called Louder than love, the Grande Ballroom.
Iggy Pop and the Stooges. Yes, Sirs.
Raw Power is the title of a Stooges song. Violent mix.
When anti-war demonstrators appeared at the Chicago Democratic Convention in August of 1968 , the city police attacked the crowd on the first day . Trying to play a set of songs in the middle of the chaos ... The MC 5 ! Most of their songs were not political , but they were followers of a left- wing guru named John Sinclair , and this led to years of conflict with the authorities , various kinds of harrassment , and the band becoming an underground legend .
MC5 was the house band for the Grande Ballroom. A Hugely influential venue for the rock midwestern rock scene, check out the movie about it- Louder Than Love: The Grande Ballroom Story
The Velvet Underground were on the cerebral end, but MC5 and The Stooges pretty much invented Punk.
Are songs about buying drugs, doing drugs, and having violent sex considered cerebral now?
Come on guys The Tragically Hip must be played on this channel
Canadian royalty
This was the energy you also heard on the Patti Smith tune you listened to last week. She eventually married one of the members of the MC5. Energy and fun and power. That's what this music is about.
How about 'blue cheer' summertime blues a rock punk version of the Eddie cochran from the same the same time as the MC5
thanks for the flashback!
These could probably be considered proto-punk or proto-metal:
The Sonics - The Witch
The Stooges - 1969
Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
The Velvet Underground - I Heard Her Call My Name
The Music Machine - Talk Talk
Death - Keep on Knocking
New York Dolls - Bad Girl
The Dictators - The Next Big Thing
You should check out Los Saicos (The Psychos) from Peru. Formed in 1964, considered now to be one of founders of punk. This band has been getting a lot of attention in recent years. Check out "Fugitivo de Alcatraz" for starters
Psycho, Have Love Will Travel, or Strychnine, Shot Down all great Sonics tunes.
Road Runner by Modern Lovers was influential and much different than the scene at the time too.
Dead Boys - Sonic Reducer is another essential one.
Great band. Heavily influenced by Iggy and MC5, but considered part of the 70s punk scene. RIP Stiv Bators.
Dead Boys, Ain’t it fun. Best song ever!
Definitely check out The Stooges ("Search and Destroy" on the album RAW POWER) next. Rumor has it The Ramones weren't even friends, they were just the four guys they knew who liked The Stooges.
In this vein you gotta go with Iggy Pop crawling over broken glass, mutilating himself with razor blades, etc. Especially his collabs with Bowie He was also the first rock star to wade out into the audience, years before Peter Gabriel.
Iggy was also the first to expose his “unit” onstage in 1968, something he’s done countless times since. He once took a shit behind an amplifier, then threw it at the audience. And yes, he and the band did have serious drug problems.
If you want a great follow up to this: The Stooges "Raw Power"
Gotta do Funhouse 1st. Raw Power is problematic, a poor recording and bad mix.
Bought that album in 1969 totally blew me away,and still play it now on cd
Try another 1969 wild song, "twenty first century schizoid man", from King Crimson. Greg Lake, (ELP) was a founding member.
King Crimson take down any reactions/analysis to their songs.
Wow never thought I’d see this song here haha
Don’t forget Dead Kennedy’s, Black Flag and the Circle Jerks
way later bruv, way later, but i brought them up in a poll.
Dudes! I'm 71 years old. I've passed MC5 on to my son and grandchildren! They are immortal!
Ballroom Blitz by Sweet. It’s time for some Sweet!! K.Lo has spoken!!
LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN ...LONG VERSION PLEASE...
Fox on the Run.
No You Don't
Set Me Free
You know you're doing it right when you're consistently managing to piss off a different subset of your subscribers with every reaction. Rock on, my dudes!
Great observation
There's "cool" and there's pretend "cool". That's what is Motor City 5 and Iggy and the Stooges versus most everyone else then. (Well Velvet is in the cool room too) ;). The ultra cool kids knew Velvet Underground, MC5 and Iggy. They were NOT mainstream. No radio play, but Velvet Underground got a bit. These were the underground bands. Listening to MC5 meant you knew music.
MC5 Stands for Motor City-5 members in the band
1969...what a year, so f***ked up,didn't know whether to shit,wind my watch or steal second base and loved every minute of it.
You listened to the edited version
This was the only song I ever requested, back in the bedroom broadcast daze, just knew you'd both dig it. Folks may not know the bands name but they have been immensely influential. Thanks!
Uh oh. That means it takes 2 years to take requests. 🤣
@@kevinlogozzo3952 I'm guessing they never even saw my request and just happened to get around to playing it.
@@chuckmadden2251 I’m glad they did. I only knew it as a Blue Oyster Cult song.
The MC5 was the first concert I ever went to. They were so good. Keep rocking!
Finally!!!!! I can't scream loud enough! MC fuckin 5 baby! Clout for y'all doing this Detroit powerhouse!!!!
Love the A&A fist-bump at 2:43 👊🏼
🥰
Marie guaranteed thought jams meant jams and jellies.
"Oh no, these are past their expiration dates! Best to kick them to the curb before someone gets ill!" LOL!!!
When you put it all together, you’ll start to understand why Kiss, a New York band, wrote Detroit Rock City. It spawned bands like The MC5, The Stooges, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger , Grand Funk Railroad, the White Stripes, etc and has embraced Rock bands and music more than any other city in America ( yes, more than Cleveland too).
A lot of the song suggestions sound lame after MC5. There's no going back now!
You need to see the documentary on the Grandee Ballroom where MC5 was the house band. They heckled all the big names. The Who performed Tommy for the first time live in this tiny little club. And you see them do this song live.
I recommend Raw Power by the Stooges. The Ace of Spades by Motörhead, In The City by The Jam, Where Eagles Dare by the Misfits and God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols. All classic Punk bangers!
yes yes and hell yes
Patti Smith - The godmother of punk. Gloria
The Gents covered "Gloria" on the last Live Stream -- check it out.
Totally didn't expect a video!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yeah, I forgot it was Monday......
"God Save The Queen" by Sex Pistols. "Hot Smoke And Sassafras" by the Bubble Puppy.
Glad you're hitting some really cool stuff again.
The album came out in 1969, but the concert took place in Oct. 1968. Same month that Led Zeppelin one was recorded. The original version of Kick out the Jams was censored after release. As it said, time to kick out the jams mother fu#%ers! There is some really good Motor City 5 live video on YT.
Ha! That was fun watching, guys! Cheers! \|/
Stooges is next - I’d go with the song 1969 over the others
MC5 = Motor City 5
Wow talk about grandmas...I saw Steppenwolf, Iggy and the Stooges and CCM at high school dances in Windsor, on the Canadian side of the Detroit River. It was clear Steppenwolf was going to be huge one day and Iggy...he was a ‘Real Wild Child’!
Those shows rocked and this music is why ‘disco sucks’ became part of the lexicon
Did you have a D.R.E.A.D. Card?
Great music. Great radio.
The Stooges!! The ENTIRE "Funhouse" album is, I would have to say, the GREATEST raw rock'n'roll record of all time! You can't lose, so start with track 1, "Down In The Street."
How about the first "rap" song ? "Trouble Coming Everyday" by Mothers of Invention with Frank Zappa ,Freak Out album 1966
I would say that honour goes to Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan 1965.
Somewhere, Cab Calloway is chuckling...
There's no way to delay ...
@@jtok3459 If you're going to credit "Subterranean Homesick Blues" as being a rap song, then you can't call it the first one. Rather, you have to go one step further band and credit the song that Dylan himself said inspired SHB, and that's Chuck Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business" (1956).
Saw them on tour in 2019 as MC50 - still smashing it
this was very cool for me to see you guys like this so much !! first heard this when I was 8 in 1969 from my older sisters records ..I love it more now than then ..I hope you guys are still diggin it when your my age !!
Thank you for playing this today on Memorial Day of all days. My stepfather Larry had me listen to this band when I was 12. He told me that he was turned on to the MC5 by a guy from Detroit when he was in the service. He was a big fan and played the album for me so thanks for memories. Nice review as always. Have a great day to all!
Slam dancing time
If you like the MC5, try The Dictators "Faster and Louder" and "Stay"
Stay With Me by the Dictators is a great song !
@@noseeyou hello hello NYers
Another MC5 day influenced band is Radio Birdman. A Detroit guitarist moved to Australia and started a band. New Race is a stone cold banger!
If you guys go down a rabbit hole of outsider rock (Stooges, Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators, the Fugs, the Frogs..) I will be fascinated and thousands of viewers will too. When Andy gave it "S" I was stoked!! Next should be Stooges (Iggy) and more MC5
Were you guys recording when you did the RATM version? I'd definitely down to see that outtake, Rage is a teriffic group.
if you liked the mc5 kick out the jams, then check out the stooges song 1970, and the velvet underground song foggy notion
LOL the doctor advising them not to kick out any more jams. My jams have been classified as a lethal weapon by the police, my lawyer advises me to avoid kicking out jams without a permit.
Andy & Alex pushing the reaction envelope! Blazing trails. Love it!!!
Seen elsewhere in the comments, but needs to be seconded. "Search and Destroy" by The Stooges has gotta be next
*Legendary* bassist Bob Babbitt, interviewed years ago by Musicians Hall Of Fame was just posted! (No music in the video. Played on songs by Marvin, Stevie, Gladys, post-humous Jimmy Hendrix, Temptations' Ball of Confusion, Spinner's Rubberband Man
"Helter Skelter" was art, "Kick out the Jams" was a lifestyle.
Hey yeah... Kick Out the Jams! I was a nerdy depressed 9th grader. I was short, wore glasses, and played Beethoven Sonatas on the piano. My parent's divorce left me pretty shaken. My three older siblings had moved out, my mother took a job at the local college and I hung around the Theater Department there. The only 14 year old among a bunch of artsy college students.
I forget the name of the avant-garde 'play' we were doing - mostly about the de-humanization taking place in America. I helped out with set construction and painting of flats as best I could.
The last act had two characters meeting for a hookup up in a hotel room. No dialog. For the climax, the two characters, wearing monstrous three foot high paper mache doll heads completely trashed the room. Broke the (fake) TV screen, ripped clothes, and god knows what else. Sheer random violence.
Guess what piece of music they used... sounded like nothing any decent sort of person would listen to. Brilliant.
MC5 will remain connected to this memory in my mind forever. I didn't 'like' the music, but it revealed a facet of ugly humanity that needed expression.
1969 was a good year.
Motor City 5
Ahhh! Hearing some MC5 with my boys!!! Love It!! I hope you get to the Stooges next, "I Wanna Be Your Dog"!
I was at this show when they cut this album. It was the most crowded I had seen the Grande Ballroom and outside The Who, it was the loudest I had ever heard it. Great wild show!!
This band was the true start of metal a few years before sabbath
The original punks. Sex Pistols got nothing on these guys. And let's not forget that it was MC5 that inspired Lemmy to form Motorhead.
The original Garage Rock!
I had no idea this came out in ‘69.... year I was born! Great reaction!
Find the unedited intro version guys. You will love it even more.
I think they edited it.
You need to check out another Detroit proto-punk band, Death. Keep On Knocking is classic.
Death is legendary and need to be heard!
Blue Oyster Cult does a banging version of this song. I think its even better than this
agreed!
Yup. Live version on Some Enchanted Evening.
About time you got to the first banger of all bangers...
Great Review, Gents!
