I got the record and still play it to this day ever since picking it up at a yardsale, but even before that huge mc5 nerd with the craze of mp3s was able to get anything, but nothing beats the thrill of finding the glorious MC5 debut album thru some old milk crate along with other great rock classics as vol 4 and alice cooper killer!
The MC5 INVENTED both Punk AND Metal -- yet are STILL unknown to much of the rock culture. The song's kind of a ripoff of The Troggs' "I Want You," but they take it to a whole new level of sonic power. Thanks for posting!
come on, now....they were a great live band, but most of the studio albums are kinda forgettable. these guys werent thinking "punk", just a badass rock band from Detroit. the Troggs, the Sonics set out to scare girls, not make em hot! one of their best!
I wouldn't call it a rip off.. it's a cover, the album gives the Troggs credit. I had no idea about the words of Andover's finest coming from the greatest proto punk band of all time.
MC-5 5 MUSICIANS FROM MOTOR CITY -DETROIT NEVER GOT THEIR PAID DUES. THEY WERE THE WILDESTEST HEAVIEST BAND IN THEIR DAY! WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE A PRE-PEARL JAM BAND! THE LEAD GUITARIST DOES THE WINDMILLS! HMMM?? PETE TOWNSEND DOES THOSE TOO??!

This was the first review Bangs wrote for Rolling Stone. All he is saying, in his cranky and provocative way, is that rock 'n' roll is derivative. That's also why Bangs loved rock 'n' roll, so I'm not really sure that counts as negative criticism. The Five credit the Troggs, specifically Larry Page and Colin Fletcher, as the writers of this song.

@@JamesADempseyYou are right on the nose with that . Zep got what they did from the Small Faces . Nice to know others know where the music comes from .
+J D R O C K Watch the documentary "True Testimonial." Wayne Kramer explains that the name sounded like the serial number to a car part. The band members would riff on the name, coming up with "Mongolian Clusterfuck 5," "Much Cock," "Morally Corrupt," etc. Great film.
@@SeanMcNerney Actually, Chip Taylor wrote "Wild Thing" and the Troggs had a hit with it. The Troggs did, however, write the remarkably similar song "I Want You," and the Five credit them for writing this song. Compare: ruclips.net/video/5DdWapLiHEQ/видео.html.

Rest In Power to Brother Wayne Kramer. Thank you for providing the soundtrack to my twenties and the tinnitus.
Love your name. That he is, that he is
@@rodionromanovich449 Thanks!
Rob Tyner had an AMAZING voice!
The heaviest tune ever at the time. A crushing overwhelming power right in your face... 1968 man....
The most IMPORTANT band in the history of hard rock...
what about the shaggs
No. That would be Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience or Led Zeppelin.
protopunk; along with the Stooges
Yes
@@TheGoblin1975 Who are parents! I love the Shaggs too
This is a badass Blues-Punk piece of work. 👍
From back in the day when all the best stuff was made in Detroit!

They were better than Hendrix on his best day
The who sucked ass. Pete Townshend is a joke
What a fantastic piece of joy
So raw and brash ...saw them in SF back in 69.

The MC 5 invented the MC 5. Take it or leave it.
Sabbath made metal. MC5 have what you might call metal’s ‘power’, but they’re not dark. That’s the difference

This is the real stuff.
What an awesome video you made:))
I especially love how Kramer needed to clarify that it was girls he wanted. Lol
That was Un-real!
Fck yeah^^
isso e rock!

Pearl jam aint this cool
yes they are awesome ;)
Pearl jam aint this cool and will never be
Pearl Jam could never measure up to the 5.
This is ofcourse their version of The Troggs' "I Want You".....
your video is incredible
wood working and metal working
Epic
You can't get heavier than this!
this is the wildest thing. 4:02 better than you know whut
Everything was perfect about this band.
This is better than Kick Out The Jams, love the Hendrix blues riffs
Imagine Hendrix playing with them .... that would be cool :)
dope
a fuckin great cover
Buen video, temazo. Por mi podria ser el himno de Podemos. Todo, y ahora mismo.

Does anyone know what that purple strob light is called i want one
4:01 !!!!! :D
First "beat box" in the middle there.
This band is way too good to be a punk band.
What the fuck does that mean!?
There are lots of great punk bands...
Best fucking band on the planet
Joshua Wilson hahaha yess!!
why do the people dont say this is a proto grunge song
Holy fucking shit
This is where zeppelin must of got the idea for whole lotta love.
Listen to "you need lovin" by the Small Faces. You'll see. Right here on RUclips.
@@JamesADempseyYou are right on the nose with that . Zep got what they did from the Small Faces . Nice to know others know where the music comes from .
Didn't know that about Small Faces getting ideas from these guys and passing them on to Zep... makes sense to me. John 3:3-6
in 1969 they were hot . .
When was this recorded? Sounds like modern overdrive on the guitar
Magnetron33 1968, my friend
It's The Troggs cover
I loved when the performed with the American Flag hanging up.
Better than (wild thing )of jimi hendrix.
Main cordage sounds similar to 'WildThing' who did who...?
+Miquel Casanueva The Troggs.
+J D R O C K yeah long runin tune. like when influences pop out
Originally the Wild Ones en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Ones_(band)
Wayne Kramer was the MC5
Don't forget Fred...
Spacemen 3's version of this song is dope too. But nothing like the original
Great band Troy Edwin wants to be Haney
Yeah...Fred was great also
What does MC5 stand for?
Motor City Five... Detroit is known as the traditional automotive center of the world and a nickname coined was... Motor City .
***** Thanks for the info.

+Michael Warunek ...5 mics of LSD was the story of yore...
Makes me want to open the window and point the speaker out...
Too similar to 'Wild Thing - Jimi Hendrix' but who cares they're both amazing.
The Troggs wrote Wild thing
