UPDATE 4/28/24: after 6 nominations, the MC5 have finally been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. this is my favorite band. what’s yours? comment below
From an artistic perspective, I'd say Talk Talk given that their evolution is pretty much a thing of legend at this point, but overall, it's a close call between Radiohead, who were influenced by Talk Talk to a degree especially on something like Kid A, and a few others.
I befriended Brother Wayne in his later years in life after a mural he hired my company to paint of him on the Grande for the 50th anniversary show. My hearts been crushed the last few weeks man, I listen to the 5 almost every single day normally! Thanks for taking the time to make this. I'd love to send you an extra piece of my merch gifts from Wayne if you'd like. Cheers dude!
NO WAY you were behind the grande mural?? that’s amazing! i have friends who have taken photos there, we all love it i’m very interested in that wayne merch, i have an email contact through my website. please write me there!
Old man in Iowa laughing at "literally, no one cares about these shirts but me". The history is great - I was just talking to a local audio guy and I mentioned "abigail" and the deep dive, and he of course was already a fan. So two more guys in Iowa, living on the same street, spontaneously finding... Abigail and her vinyl mondays. Well Done.
WOW. Just wow. Everything from the costumes, the in depth discussion, the jokes is on point. Your love from MC5 just comes through in every frame. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into all of this
The MC5! Great video Abigail. This may be the best I've ever seen on RUclips! I'm 72 years old, purchased my first album ever in 1969. Found the MC5's Kick Out The Jams, loved the cover so I bought it. Had never even heard of them. I was a freshman in college located in West Texas. Had only one FM radio station to hear new music on, thus I was unfamiliar with the MC5. Took the record to my room and turned up the volume, as I normally did, and put on my headphones. Mind Blown!!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I listened to this record three times , back to back. Shared it with my friends, much to their delight. I was able to gain a few issues of the Berkely Barb. I was hungry to learn more of the White Panthers and the MC5 movement. Long story short, joined the SDS, NORMYL, and became an underground WEATHERMAN. At 72, I'm still an activist, leftist freak. Thanks to the MC5 kick starting my mindset. Proud to say, my life was changed forever. Thanks MC. And a special shout out to Abigal for bringing me even closer to the MC5. BTW, I still have that original album it's well worn, but I treasure it. Also have an original Kick Out The Jams album, signed by John Sinclair. RIP Wayne!
I skipped graduating. Went back a year later, and finished in summer school. The principle threw a mimialgraph paper at me across his desk. Said congratulations you graduated high school. I said: Thank you Mr Blandie. That was his real name! Then I went to a bar down the street, and celebrated with a beer. (Legal drinking age was 18). Guess Mr. BLANDIE really was a hateful bastard. LOL!
Incredible job! I love how you made me fall back in love with the MC5 again the music world needs more fans like you. People that genuinely get excited about great music love this video you did a fantastic job trust me
Used to see the 5 all the time, from the Grande to various high schools and dance clubs. Always ran in to John at a local pub. Would talk to Wayne a lot at a bar in Grosse Pointe MI. while he was putting his Gang War band together back in the 70s. Went to pay my respects to Fred Smith at the funeral home where he was. Met Patti. Wayne and Dennis were there. Memories of great music and great times, and a lot of local folks could share similar stories. I really am impressed by your presentation here.Very perceptive, funny and filled with genuine affection. Thank you!
I 'accidentally' saw the MC5 perform live at the London Rock n Roll show August 5th 1972. I was just turned 17 & I had no idea who the MC5 were. I went for the line-up of 1950's Rock n Roll legends who played that day but the effect that the 5 had on me that day was profound. I remember the ENERGY, the ATTITUDE and the way they launched into their blistering form of Rock n Roll. The Teddy Boys hated them & constantly threw cans & other missiles throughout their set & when Wayne "Machine-gunned" the audience, that made them even more possessed with hatred but I just stood there , gawping in awe at this spectacular sight & sound before me. I am so happy & so proud that I got to see the original MC5 before they broke up. I bought all 3 albums within weeks of seeing them & they have been massively important to me ever since. Abby, your work on this video is phenomenal!! I am speechless at the effort, the passion, the knowledge & the love you have put into this work & you have made it SO entertaining!! ( I watched it all over 3 days) One of RUclips's greatest ever presentations. Just .......incredible! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! .......and oh, "my" favourite band? Well, along with the MC5, it is The Velvet Underground .......and yes, I saw *them* live too! 😲😲 ( well, the reformed VU in 1993 😎)
A really fantastic video about a really fantastic band. I love the energy, playfulness, and research... Damn the research! I learned a lot about the MC5! Thanks for that! And I especially love the end. Thanks for sharing the texture of your hair, as well as your passion for ground breaking music!
Hey Abi, here is the thing: I am 52yo, and listening you talking about r’n’r albums is like traveling back in time and feeling again what I felt when I was with my friends spinning some records and having a good time. Thank you!
Bravo, Abigail. Incredible research. I fully appreciate what was probably months of research & planning for this video. Well done. I'm telling all my friends about you. :)
Funny enough, your original MC5 "Kick Out the Jams" video was how I discovered the channel in the first place! I had just got myself a copy and wondered "Hmmm, this album rocks pretty hard; I wonder if there's anyone on RUclips doing a sort of deep dive/review of it...." Lo and behold. Fantastic work, as always, Abby! 😃
I saw a new kotj at flea market booth! New repress that said Newbury Comics, and pretty small number of. Assume it's in the uncensored. Wonder if that vendor's whole truckload was driven the fuck from Ye Aulde Colonys, or whatever the westernmost Newbury Comics
Great narration! So much passion and love in this. Love The 5! Got struck by the band around tender age of 11/12. Met Wayne in 1998 in Vienna. We've done an interview and he let us record the concert through the mixing desk. It was his 50th bd. Made a 8-9 hours long live radio show on the band around that time. Talked again to Wayne in 2018 over the phone and made another radio show, around 2,5 long based on that interview. This Abigail's talk doc reminded me of it. I've never heard so much love and affection for The 5 from anyone as in this Abigail's narration. Respect. Keep on spreading love, Abigail.
MC5 is so great, I feel like they never get the recognition they deserve. Everyone knows other bands from the time, but MC5 tends to get overlooked. At least people who really love music know who they are!
unlike Iggy , in 20th century England they were only known by punk & metal music enthusiasts & its thanks to tv & Internet metal & punk documentaries of last 23 years that they’ve become iconic & in my opinion credited with being genre originators alongside Iggy re punk or Sabbath are with metal or Motörhead are for thrash or speed , Arthur Brown with theatrics for Prog & iron maiden for being overblown Priest knock offs….
I didn’t plan to watch this entire video today, but you kept surprising me with how amazing and important the MC5 still are. I was introduced to the MC5 when I went to college in the 80s because of my friend Franklin. He owned a very cool record store in Jonesboro, Arkansas that literally changed the lives of so many people, including me, even though it really wasn’t open that many years. I was one of several Record Exchange nerd boys going to his store at least weekly, and usually for hours at a time absorbing information from “the longhair.” He was a remarkably intelligent man who was not only the biggest record and science fiction collector I’ve ever known, but a prophet of music, a published poet, and fantasy writer. he had the same enthusiasm for the MC5 that you do. You would’ve loved him. Interestingly, he refrained from using profanity except for one particular time. Normally he kept his impressive in-store stereo at levels you could easily talk over. But one day I was shocked to walk in and hear it turned up to window-rattling volume. I asked who it was, and he explained he was playing the uncensored KOTJMF’er, which he yelled with uncharacteristic power. He passed in the early 2000s, and several of us still talk about him to this day. I think I’ve still got just about every album I ever bought from him. Anyway, you have made something special. Thank you.
he sounds like SUCH a cool guy! the right record store owner can make a collection magical. thank you for sharing that story and thank you for taking the time to watch this
Punk rock saved my life. I have expanded my palate so far and wide that I preach the virtues of MC5, The Stooges, Velvet Underground, Death, etc to anybody who will listen.
Having been raised in Ann Arbor Mi in the 60s I lived right down the street from where the Five lived I never thought of them as a punk rock band but straight ahead rock a sort if Mitch Ryder through Marshal stacks when they we're at their peak they were untouchable they showed up many bigger name bands at the Grande Ballroom put it this way they the best
This is more than just a brilliant history of an amazing band, this is an absolute masterpiece that elevates their legacy and will lead to more people getting into their catalog! I sincerely hope that Wayne and Dennis get a chance to see this video!
OH, BOY - I'M SO EXCITED!! The MC5 are one of my favorite bands of all time!! Thanks for making this - I've been having a bad day, and this really cheers me up: almost three hours of somebody talking about The MC5!!! Thanks again!!!
Proto-punk is such a cool category. There are so many great bands jammed in there. The New York Dolls, Pink Fairies, Modern Lovers, the Monks, and more. The MC5 might be the most ass kicking one of the lot.
@@HansonZhang-ri2lj Why? This is an example of the diversity of the sub-genre, not an exhaustive list of every proto-punk band that ever existed. I didn't mention the Velvet Underground either, but nobody's complaining.
ABBY THAT WAS AWESOME!! somehow you've managed to outdo yourself yet again! i hope you get the recognition you deserve for this- you're an amazing journalist, and somebody i've been able to relate to, and learn from immensely. traversing the music community as a gen z girl isn't easy, but you make it a lot better, so thank you
They were my favorite band in high school. I'm 71 and grew up near Detroit and saw the MC5 many times. I still have the 3 albums including the uncensored version of kick out the jams with the liner notes since I bought them when they were first released. I learned a lot from your great video.
FTR - Born raised on the East Side of Detroit. Grew up in the 60's / 70's where all my babysitters, Aunts/Uncles, Cousins, Neighbors listened to the MC5 on Vinyl (along with other 60's/70's bands). Sooo glad I'm subscribing to Vinyl Monday. Abigail hit a home run (Norm Cash style ;) on this review. This band accomplished sooo much in sooo little of time. Paved the way for Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Bad Religion et al. Bottom line is this band put their money where their mouth was!!! The best example was having the guts to play in Chicago for the 1968 Democratic Party Convention. Think about that this Summer of 2024. All good things must come to an end and the MC5 simply let bad management, bad record deals, and bad drugs do them in. RIP gentleman you were awesome!
saw MC5 at the Boston Garden October 25, 1969, opening for Johnny Winter and then Zeppelin (who were selling records in the lobby). Transformational. Favorite band and artist changes each decade as I change. Thank you for the reporting, stories and passion.
Wow!! Abbie you KICKED OUT THE JAMS with this video!! Thank you for sharing your true love and passion for this band, the MC5. It's bittersweet that the world of music has lost Wayne Kramer but we must find solace knowing he's reunited with his brothers once again...Fred, Michael and Rob. And how cool of you to share your TRUE beauty at the end of your video......Rob Tyner is smiling upon you.
As someone who loves the mc5 it’s so inspiring that I am the same age as they were when they made kick out the jams! Thank you for making this Abby you have outdone yourself!!
absolutely the best band documentary type of video on RUclips to exist. The energy of your storytelling properly reflects the excited and inspired nature of the MC5's music. Your passion for the 5's music is insanely contagious, now I'll probably listen to them in a more critical and astute manner. The Stooges, Silver Apples, and Hüsker Dü would also make for some great ideas for the future possibly.
MC5 was my first. I had seen the Beatles two movies and surely processed their British war babies charm (I even watched the Beatles cartoons on Saturday mornings). I thought the coolest was Ringo, and so I bought a drum set with my paper route money. But when I went to a record store to buy my first album, without knowing anything about, well, anything, I was attracted to the MC5. Just the album cover, I guess. So I learned to drum by banging away to that album. I fell in love with that band. I then learned guitar and bass and became a songwriter. I am still doing it. I have looked forward to this episode! Thank you for it. You did an awesome job. Just perfection.
I grew up in Ann Arbor. 1967-1982. Experienced the MC5 while riding my Schwinn Stingray through West Park one day while this LOUD band was playing. We asked someone who was making all the noise. They smiled at the lil kids and said "The FIVE!". Free range parenting was not a term then. It was just how my mom, like most in the mid-west rolled. Home by sunset. She was also a peace activist and we went to the Sinclair White Panther House one day for a meeting about an upcoming protest. Since us kids didn't understand what was being discussed - or care - we wandered. We found a door in the kitchen and went down into the basement and it was dark and smelled of weed and we saw lots of amps and egg cartons on the ceiling. We went back upstairs to hear the droning of the adult peoples. Now in hindsight, we had wandered into the MC5 rehearsal studio.John Sinclair was the manager and that was his castle. As much as you credit this band being from Detroit, like Iggy and the Stooges, they were really from Ann Arbor. I only got to see Fred Smith once at the Second Chance with Sonics Rendezvous Band when I got in with a fake ID. This was when I finally appreciated who he was, and where I was. I love, that you love, the MC5. Todays music is so safe and corporate.
15 minutes into this and I'm already cracking up.... I love MC5 - had no clue they started so early... love that opened up for Dave Clark 5... look forward to the rest.... cheers 🤘
I love this. I found out about MC5 shortly after I bought my first guitar 13 years ago. I am obsessed with thier raw, live and unhindered sound. They are the perfect bridge between rock and punk. I'm in my 30's now but I will never let go of that feeling. RIP Brother Wayne
Thank you, Abigail, for your extensive and exhaustive research, for your passionate love for this rock band, and for the well-crafted thoroughness of your engaging and entertaining presentation. We MC5 fans are grateful.
Appreciating those 10 months put into this! Birth and Death; Life of the MC5. Best history lessons live on in music of the times. Time travel and hair intermission, plus a new instrument! This was 2:40.32 well enjoyed. You refresh Rock n Roll each week in my world; count it as a tip in your jar towards keeping Rock n Roll alive! P.s nice genes
I saw the MC5 in 1968. A barn like venue called the Crazy Horse in Kalamazoo MI. Standing in the crowd, I was a 16 yr old, probably only 15 feet from this band, . The roar of the marshall amps, screams and feedback left a lasting impression. Wayne Kramer. Rob Tyner. Wow. Talk about rocking my world. Glad I found this, Abigail. You have a very good presentation. Never thought I would last til the end, but I did. Love intermission. Judging Rob's hair styles. HA ha. Wish I could take you back into the Crazy Horse, so you could experience it too. You are such a fan. Thx for this.
I was at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit one night in 1968 when MC5 opened for Cream and did their very best to upstage the headliners. I'm so grateful that I saw MC5 perform live on stage; they were the best.
I've always fallen on the Stooges side of the Detroit line, but Kick Out The Jams broke my brain at 13 and I've never looked back! Thanks for this vid, long live the 5!
Bravo! Fantastic video. The end was emotional. I’m now an MC5 fan. Thanks for introducing me to these guys. I’ve always known OF them but I never really knew ABOUT them. Because of your video I feel like I kind of KNOW them. Planning on purchasing their discography asap. Great way to start the week again with a vinyl Monday! Praise the lord and pass the ammunition P.S. I’m really happy you Mentioned Patti Smith near the end. She’s been one of my favorite artists since forever. My first wife’s name was Patti Smith. Looking forward to a vinyl Monday ft. Patti Smith
I'm a recent convert here; only ever heard a few MC5 tracks in my life, (sorry...) So what's keeping me here ? Ab here is !! The entertaining approach, la joie de vivre, cuteness, silly asides, ect., will see me thru to the end of this puppy. And who knows ? I MAY even listen to the MC5 !! Ima havta make the effort, tho- I'm currently into a hard-lock listening phase of: The Doobie Bros. Deep Purple FZ & The Mothers Argent The things go in cycles for me- always have. Keep up the great work there, Miss DeVoe !! 🚬😎👍
Watched it all the way through - had to do it in three sittings due to time constraints. Fantastic! I had the opportunity to watch what was suppsed to be the release of A Testimonial years back, before it was bootlegged, as a friend was married to Michael Davis, Wayne was on a label I was working for at the time, and met Dennis as well. Your DETAIL and ENTHUSIASM , even through the decline of the band, had me in awe, in tears, and in hysterics! Subscirbing!
hi Abby, lifelong music junkie here and worked at independent record stores for 15 years. Your videos are great, keep up the good work. At 1:55 I was sad to hear about your negative experience at a record store and feeling like an outsider and having to prove yourself. As a woman in that industry I can relate. Although I was treated well by most of my co-workers and customers....being a woman in music (retail, music industry, playing in bands) is extremely nuanced. Can be so difficult to navigate. We definitely have to sometimes work harder to "prove ourselves" but at the end of the day, EFF THOSE GUYS! LOL! BUT in all seriousness, don't ever feel like you are on the outside looking in. You are part of it and deserve "a seat at the table" just like anyone else. And if some dumb record store employee (or whoever) makes you feel otherwise, well, they don't deserve YOU. Sending good vibes from Sunny So Cal!
I love this video! I love your enthuiasm and I love that you found the MC5. I read about them when I was in my teens and got really curious. When I first heard Kick out the jams I was blown away, I had never heard anything like it. Now they have been a part of me for the last 30-35 years and their music never cease to amaze me. Love the intermission and the last Kick out the jams with the wild curls! 😊👍🏽
I was thrilled to find High Time while stationed in Germany. Kind of a hug from home. A plus was that the German records were still the thick heavy vinyl. Sister Ann kicks it!!!
Wow, what an amazing video! I got into MC5 because of the Kick Out the Jams Vinyl Monday, it’s pretty much how I did a deep dive into their albums, a song from Back in The USA even ended up on my Spotify 2022 playlist!
I have never listened to the MC5, but I needed to hear you tell your tale. This was amazing. Your videos get better every week. I feel really lucky I've somehow come across your material this early in your RUclips career. Please keep doing more of ::waves vaguely:: THIS. Maybe a Gene Wilder Retrospective at your next milestone hahaha. I'd love to hear you opine about your favorites.
Wow this is the best video I've ever seen on the the MC5. You absolute love for the band and its music made this a joy to watch. I'm a huge fan of the MC5 and now I'm you fan too.
Lovely Lady, I am so glad you have finally been able to complete this labour of obvious love. The band were groundbreaking and set the ball rolling for the punk movement of the mid to late 70s. Could you now move on and make my year complete with a similar deep-dive into the band Fanny? Their Charity Ball album was only the second I bought with my own money (Wildlife by Wings was the first) and I have loved their music ever since.🙃
My mother is in a band called The Dogs. They started out playing with the MC5 and were very good friends with them, they would sometimes share amps. They are still playing today and will be in Detroit this fall. They actually wrote a song back in the early 70's about John Sinclair. Here is a lick to a really old video and the song. ruclips.net/video/Hn3ZBmz8glU/видео.html
It only took me 2 weeks, but I finally watched this whole video. LoL. I’ve been an MC5 fan for a long time, but I really learned a lot from this! Excellent work 🙏
Wonderful video!!! RIP Dennis Thompson! Typical MC5 fate that all the members have died just as they get inducted into the Hall of Fame. BTW as someone with "wildman wayne" hair I appreciated all the hair talk
I came to this channel for the first time last night, at around 1:30 am, when I stumbled across the "Forever Changes" episode. This was my very next stop. At 2.6+ hours this deep dive was deeper and divier than I could have hoped for and I regret nothing!
I was in a small club in Detroit around 1990, on the stage was a band called " The vertical pillows". All of a sudden Rob is introduced he gets on stage and they do a rousing "Kick out the jams" and "Gloria" ,it was amazing! Glad I got to experience that before his death. Nice job on this video!!
I've never been able to find a truly great documentary on the MC5 so thank you for this cuz yeah you did an awesome job awesome awesome job awesome job
This is an AMAZING episode. It amazes me that you are so deep into the 5 at such a young age. Makes me happy to know their legacy and fandom lives on. I haven't been motivated to read the Kramer book, (but did enjoy Michael Davis' I Nearly Brought Down the MC5). So I learned a lot of new info from you. Thank you! They certainly paid for their radical behaviour. I'm just sad about the sour grapes, for example Kramer stopping the release of the True Testimonial doc.
Glad I found this. First of excellent video, you have done a great and thorough job with gathering sources. We have definitely been poking around the same corners of the internet. I was born and raised in Detroit and surrounding areas, actually I was born in the same hospital that Rob Tyner passed away in about a month later. I’m only 32 so way too young to have experienced any of this, it’s been a distant memory my whole life but I have always had a deep fascination with the MC5 and John Sinclair. I have a few books from John that are signed, some poetry as well as guitar army. I got a couple things from Leni as well, my favorites are a framed print of the KOTJ liner picture and notes signed by her and John and a framed Freedom Rally poster signed by John and Leni. I have an MC5 shirt with the original font from the designer and I smiled when I saw you take out the WPP button because mine was sitting right next to me. So cool seeing someone else into the 5 like I am. Sad losing Wayne and John so close together like that. Just Dennis now. Cheers from Detroit. You definitely got a new subscriber here. I collect vinyl as well so this is all just kind of too good to be true. You rock! PS - just visited Robs grave the other day and someone had left a harmonica on top❤
I personally picked up on the MC5 in 1968 at 8 years old when my cousin played the first LP in its entirety, and I love bootlegs! It's a 70s thing, deal with it! And counter culture was already a real thing in the 1960s!
Very Well Done! I thought I was the avid MC5 Guy,but you may very well have me beat, I'm in total agreement with your album rankings,HIGH TIMES Hits The Hardest, and...the Tartor Field footage/gig is powerful,love watching Dennis snap thru drumsticks,and Wayne's dance moves are Hot, and like you said, they're chemistry is in high gear, I show and share that clip to all those that need to be reminded of how to do it,or turn them onto MC5.Ive actually reached out to Wayne,had to write him, and he replied and I could've died, I really respect his Jail Guitar Doors Organization, thx for letting me ramble,really enjoyed the video, Richie

this is my favorite band. what’s yours? comment below
I’m 61 yes old and I’ve never heard of them! 😮
I'd have to say Neutral Milk Hotel. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea has changed me more than I know
Great gatefold picture of the band. My copy from 1983 is not a gatefold unfortunately.
Rush!
From an artistic perspective, I'd say Talk Talk given that their evolution is pretty much a thing of legend at this point, but overall, it's a close call between Radiohead, who were influenced by Talk Talk to a degree especially on something like Kid A, and a few others.
RIP Wayne. We will always love you! Kick out the jams brother!!❤
I Love How The Title Says It’s A Brief History Of MC5 & Its 2 1/2 Hours

I befriended Brother Wayne in his later years in life after a mural he hired my company to paint of him on the Grande for the 50th anniversary show. My hearts been crushed the last few weeks man, I listen to the 5 almost every single day normally! Thanks for taking the time to make this.

this is genuinely insane, a feature length movie video. so commendable that you put this thing together. this may well be your finest work yet Abby!
Old man in Iowa laughing at "literally, no one cares about these shirts but me".
The history is great - I was just talking to a local audio guy and I mentioned "abigail" and the deep dive, and he of course was already a fan. So two more guys in Iowa, living on the same street, spontaneously finding... Abigail and her vinyl mondays.
Well Done.
WOW. Just wow. Everything from the costumes, the in depth discussion, the jokes is on point. Your love from MC5 just comes through in every frame. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into all of this
This isn't a RUclips video. This is a passion project.
Outstanding, inspiring work, and a terrific reminder of just how much I love this goddamn band. The whole thing flew by in a flash.
This channel is a hidden gem.❤
No doubt, this has restored my faith that there is still some amazing content on youtube
Fred had the Sonic suit since 1969, he wore It at the Detroit Rock and Roll Revival . It is show in Creem Magazine
The MC5! Great video Abigail. This may be the best I've ever seen on RUclips! I'm 72 years old, purchased my first album ever in 1969. Found the MC5's Kick Out The Jams, loved the cover so I bought it. Had never even heard of them. I was a freshman in college located in West Texas. Had only one FM radio station to hear new music on, thus I was unfamiliar with the MC5. Took the record to my room and turned up the volume, as I normally did, and put on my headphones.

I was able to gain a few issues of the Berkely Barb. I was hungry to learn more of the White Panthers and the MC5 movement. Long story short, joined the SDS, NORMYL, and became an underground WEATHERMAN. At 72, I'm still an activist, leftist freak. Thanks to the MC5 kick starting my mindset. Proud to say, my life was changed forever. Thanks MC. And a special shout out to Abigal for bringing me even closer to the MC5. BTW, I still have that original album it's well worn, but I treasure it. Also have an original Kick Out The Jams album, signed by John Sinclair. RIP Wayne!
skipping graduation to play another is maybe the most epic thing ever
I skipped graduating. Went back a year later, and finished in summer school. The principle threw a mimialgraph paper at me across his desk. Said congratulations you graduated high school. I said: Thank you Mr Blandie. That was his real name! Then I went to a bar down the street, and celebrated with a beer. (Legal drinking age was 18). Guess Mr. BLANDIE really was a hateful bastard. LOL!
Incredible job! I love how you made me fall back in love with the MC5 again the music world needs more fans like you. People that genuinely get excited about great music love this video you did a fantastic job trust me
Used to see the 5 all the time, from the Grande to various high schools and dance clubs. Always ran in to John at a local pub. Would talk to Wayne a lot at a bar in Grosse Pointe MI. while he was putting his Gang War band together back in the 70s. Went to pay my respects to Fred Smith at the funeral home where he was. Met Patti. Wayne and Dennis were there. Memories of great music and great times, and a lot of local folks could share similar stories. I really am impressed by your presentation here.Very perceptive, funny and filled with genuine affection. Thank you!
If this channel doesn't reach 100k subs, I'll shake my head in disbelief because these episodes are just too great.
I 'accidentally' saw the MC5 perform live at the London Rock n Roll show August 5th 1972. I was just turned 17 & I had no idea who the MC5 were. I went for the line-up of 1950's Rock n Roll legends who played that day but the effect that the 5 had on me that day was profound. I remember the ENERGY, the ATTITUDE and the way they launched into their blistering form of Rock n Roll.
The Teddy Boys hated them & constantly threw cans & other missiles throughout their set & when Wayne "Machine-gunned" the audience, that made them even more possessed with hatred but I just stood there , gawping in awe at this spectacular sight & sound before me.
I am so happy & so proud that I got to see the original MC5 before they broke up. I bought all 3 albums within weeks of seeing them & they have been massively important to me ever since.
Abby, your work on this video is phenomenal!! I am speechless at the effort, the passion, the knowledge & the love you have put into this work & you have made it SO entertaining!! ( I watched it all over 3 days)
One of RUclips's greatest ever presentations. Just .......incredible!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
.......and oh, "my" favourite band? Well, along with the MC5, it is The Velvet Underground
.......and yes, I saw *them* live too! 😲😲 ( well, the reformed VU in 1993 😎)
A really fantastic video about a really fantastic band. I love the energy, playfulness, and research... Damn the research! I learned a lot about the MC5! Thanks for that! And I especially love the end. Thanks for sharing the texture of your hair, as well as your passion for ground breaking music!
Been waiting for this! Now to watch another excellent Abigail tale!
BTW: Your hard work shows in each and every video you make! I’m a big fan! ❤❤❤
thank you so much!
(hey look everyone - the tribe has spoken!!)
Hey Abi, here is the thing: I am 52yo, and listening you talking about r’n’r albums is like traveling back in time and feeling again what I felt when I was with my friends spinning some records and having a good time. Thank you!
I watched this in two sittings. You did a great job. Keep up the killer work.
Bravo, Abigail. Incredible research. I fully appreciate what was probably months of research & planning for this video. Well done. I'm telling all my friends about you. :)
Funny enough, your original MC5 "Kick Out the Jams" video was how I discovered the channel in the first place! I had just got myself a copy and wondered "Hmmm, this album rocks pretty hard; I wonder if there's anyone on RUclips doing a sort of deep dive/review of it...." Lo and behold. Fantastic work, as always, Abby! 😃
haha well thanks for sticking around!
I saw a new kotj at flea market booth! New repress that said Newbury Comics, and pretty small number of. Assume it's in the uncensored. Wonder if that vendor's whole truckload was driven the fuck from Ye Aulde Colonys, or whatever the westernmost Newbury Comics
KOTJ in the USA was reissued by WEA in 1981 or early 82 without the gatefold and MF dubbed back in. Actually one of the better sounding pressings.
Great narration! So much passion and love in this. Love The 5! Got struck by the band around tender age of 11/12. Met Wayne in 1998 in Vienna. We've done an interview and he let us record the concert through the mixing desk. It was his 50th bd. Made a 8-9 hours long live radio show on the band around that time. Talked again to Wayne in 2018 over the phone and made another radio show, around 2,5 long based on that interview. This Abigail's talk doc reminded me of it. I've never heard so much love and affection for The 5 from anyone as in this Abigail's narration. Respect. Keep on spreading love, Abigail.
MC5 is so great, I feel like they never get the recognition they deserve. Everyone knows other bands from the time, but MC5 tends to get overlooked. At least people who really love music know who they are!
unlike Iggy , in 20th century England they were only known by punk & metal music enthusiasts & its thanks to tv & Internet metal & punk documentaries of last 23 years that they’ve become iconic & in my opinion credited with being genre originators alongside Iggy re punk or Sabbath are with metal or Motörhead are for thrash or speed , Arthur Brown with theatrics for Prog & iron maiden for being overblown Priest knock offs….
I didn’t plan to watch this entire video today, but you kept surprising me with how amazing and important the MC5 still are. I was introduced to the MC5 when I went to college in the 80s because of my friend Franklin. He owned a very cool record store in Jonesboro, Arkansas that literally changed the lives of so many people, including me, even though it really wasn’t open that many years. I was one of several Record Exchange nerd boys going to his store at least weekly, and usually for hours at a time absorbing information from “the longhair.” He was a remarkably intelligent man who was not only the biggest record and science fiction collector I’ve ever known, but a prophet of music, a published poet, and fantasy writer. he had the same enthusiasm for the MC5 that you do. You would’ve loved him. Interestingly, he refrained from using profanity except for one particular time. Normally he kept his impressive in-store stereo at levels you could easily talk over. But one day I was shocked to walk in and hear it turned up to window-rattling volume. I asked who it was, and he explained he was playing the uncensored KOTJMF’er, which he yelled with uncharacteristic power. He passed in the early 2000s, and several of us still talk about him to this day. I think I’ve still got just about every album I ever bought from him.
Anyway, you have made something special. Thank you.
he sounds like SUCH a cool guy! the right record store owner can make a collection magical. thank you for sharing that story and thank you for taking the time to watch this
Punk rock saved my life. I have expanded my palate so far and wide that I preach the virtues of MC5, The Stooges, Velvet Underground, Death, etc to anybody who will listen.
Having been raised in Ann Arbor Mi in the 60s I lived right down the street from where the Five lived
I never thought of them as a punk rock band but
straight ahead rock a sort
if Mitch Ryder through Marshal stacks when they
we're at their peak they were untouchable they showed up many bigger name bands at the Grande Ballroom put it this way
they the best
This is more than just a brilliant history of an amazing band, this is an absolute masterpiece that elevates their legacy and will lead to more people getting into their catalog!
I sincerely hope that Wayne and Dennis get a chance to see this video!
OH, BOY - I'M SO EXCITED!! The MC5 are one of my favorite bands of all time!! Thanks for making this - I've been having a bad day, and this really cheers me up: almost three hours of somebody talking about The MC5!!! Thanks again!!!
Proto-punk is such a cool category. There are so many great bands jammed in there. The New York Dolls, Pink Fairies, Modern Lovers, the Monks, and more. The MC5 might be the most ass kicking one of the lot.
The kinks is necessary to add (to head?) the list.
I can't believe you left out The Stooges
@@HansonZhang-ri2lj Why? This is an example of the diversity of the sub-genre, not an exhaustive list of every proto-punk band that ever existed. I didn't mention the Velvet Underground either, but nobody's complaining.
@@SonofSethoitae fair enough, but man, calm down.
@@HansonZhang-ri2lj Not mad, merely confused.
A magnificent piece of work Abi! Obviously a true fan! Well done! A lot of work has gone into this wonderful!! 😊
These guys are legend. Not every band can say they were playing gigs with the likes of The Stooges *and* Sun Ra. So much inspiration!! I LOVE THEM.
Bought Kick Out The Jams when it came out as a young kid with my paper route money. I still have that record. Well done Abigail, well done.
ABBY THAT WAS AWESOME!! somehow you've managed to outdo yourself yet again! i hope you get the recognition you deserve for this- you're an amazing journalist, and somebody i've been able to relate to, and learn from immensely. traversing the music community as a gen z girl isn't easy, but you make it a lot better, so thank you
thank you, i'm glad my presence here has made a difference for you. the music fan community is a weird world for us to be in, any unity helps :)
@@abigaildevoe absolutely :)
They were my favorite band in high school. I'm 71 and grew up near Detroit and saw the MC5 many times. I still have the 3 albums including the uncensored version of kick out the jams with the liner notes since I bought them when they were first released. I learned a lot from your great video.
A monstrously long and awesome video on MC5. Kick Out The Jams is one of my favourite live albums. Well done for making this fantastic video Abby!
A THREE HOUR LONG VIDEO? Abby you've done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all! Gonna make some popcorn and get ready to watch 🍿
You can watch it again with no popcorn
Thank you for all your hard work, it’s very appreciated ✌🏻
FTR - Born raised on the East Side of Detroit. Grew up in the 60's / 70's where all my babysitters, Aunts/Uncles, Cousins, Neighbors listened to the MC5 on Vinyl (along with other 60's/70's bands). Sooo glad I'm subscribing to Vinyl Monday. Abigail hit a home run (Norm Cash style ;) on this review. This band accomplished sooo much in sooo little of time. Paved the way for Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Bad Religion et al. Bottom line is this band put their money where their mouth was!!! The best example was having the guts to play in Chicago for the 1968 Democratic Party Convention. Think about that this Summer of 2024. All good things must come to an end and the MC5 simply let bad management, bad record deals, and bad drugs do them in. RIP gentleman you were awesome!
Stormin’ Norman to you bud!🤪
saw MC5 at the Boston Garden October 25, 1969, opening for Johnny Winter and then Zeppelin (who were selling records in the lobby). Transformational. Favorite band and artist changes each decade as I change. Thank you for the reporting, stories and passion.
Your thumbnail for this video is so great it should be an album cover.
Wow!! Abbie you KICKED OUT THE JAMS with this video!! Thank you for sharing your true love and passion for this band, the MC5. It's bittersweet that the world of music has lost Wayne Kramer but we must find solace knowing he's reunited with his brothers once again...Fred, Michael and Rob. And how cool of you to share your TRUE beauty at the end of your video......Rob Tyner is smiling upon you.
As someone who loves the mc5 it’s so inspiring that I am the same age as they were when they made kick out the jams! Thank you for making this Abby you have outdone yourself!!
it’s mindboggling to remember they formed when wayne was 16 and disbanded before he was 24. they were all SO young
Masterfully done!! Congrats!!
Just ONE more tiny little video before bed.
absolutely the best band documentary type of video on RUclips to exist. The energy of your storytelling properly reflects the excited and inspired nature of the MC5's music. Your passion for the 5's music is insanely contagious, now I'll probably listen to them in a more critical and astute manner.
The Stooges, Silver Apples, and Hüsker Dü would also make for some great ideas for the future possibly.
Moby Grape too
What a beautiful tribute. Subscribed!
MC5 was my first. I had seen the Beatles two movies and surely processed their British war babies charm (I even watched the Beatles cartoons on Saturday mornings). I thought the coolest was Ringo, and so I bought a drum set with my paper route money. But when I went to a record store to buy my first album, without knowing anything about, well, anything, I was attracted to the MC5. Just the album cover, I guess. So I learned to drum by banging away to that album. I fell in love with that band. I then learned guitar and bass and became a songwriter. I am still doing it. I have looked forward to this episode! Thank you for it. You did an awesome job. Just perfection.
I grew up in Ann Arbor. 1967-1982. Experienced the MC5 while riding my Schwinn Stingray through West Park one day while this LOUD band was playing. We asked someone who was making all the noise. They smiled at the lil kids and said "The FIVE!". Free range parenting was not a term then. It was just how my mom, like most in the mid-west rolled. Home by sunset. She was also a peace activist and we went to the Sinclair White Panther House one day for a meeting about an upcoming protest. Since us kids didn't understand what was being discussed - or care - we wandered. We found a door in the kitchen and went down into the basement and it was dark and smelled of weed and we saw lots of amps and egg cartons on the ceiling. We went back upstairs to hear the droning of the adult peoples. Now in hindsight, we had wandered into the MC5 rehearsal studio.John Sinclair was the manager and that was his castle. As much as you credit this band being from Detroit, like Iggy and the Stooges, they were really from Ann Arbor. I only got to see Fred Smith once at the Second Chance with Sonics Rendezvous Band when I got in with a fake ID. This was when I finally appreciated who he was, and where I was. I love, that you love, the MC5. Todays music is so safe and corporate.
You have INCREDIBLE memories. ☮️
You saw Sonic's Rendezvous Band live. I'm jealous, I would give anything for that.
The Stooges were from Ann Arbor too
Your love for the MC5 is obvious. Thanks for making this wonderful video. I watched the whole thing. Long live the 5!
15 minutes into this and I'm already cracking up.... I love MC5 - had no clue they started so early... love that opened up for Dave Clark 5... look forward to the rest.... cheers 🤘
I love this. I found out about MC5 shortly after I bought my first guitar 13 years ago. I am obsessed with thier raw, live and unhindered sound. They are the perfect bridge between rock and punk. I'm in my 30's now but I will never let go of that feeling.
RIP Brother Wayne
The video that we all needed and we all waited for!
Thank you, Abigail, for your extensive and exhaustive research, for your passionate love for this rock band, and for the well-crafted thoroughness of your engaging and entertaining presentation. We MC5 fans are grateful.
I remember much of that, I was 9 years old love these vinyl Mondays!
You're so much more confident in this video than in the first you made about MC5. Incredible development!
Appreciating those 10 months put into this! Birth and Death; Life of the MC5. Best history lessons live on in music of the times. Time travel and hair intermission, plus a new instrument!
This was 2:40.32 well enjoyed. You refresh Rock n Roll each week in my world; count it as a tip in your jar towards keeping Rock n Roll alive!
P.s nice genes
God dammit Abigail, you're officially one of those channels I have to spend the next week binging now.
I saw the MC5 in 1968. A barn like venue called the Crazy Horse in Kalamazoo MI. Standing in the crowd, I was a 16 yr old, probably only 15 feet from this band, . The roar of the marshall amps, screams and feedback left a lasting impression. Wayne Kramer. Rob Tyner. Wow. Talk about rocking my world. Glad I found this, Abigail. You have a very good presentation. Never thought I would last til the end, but I did. Love intermission. Judging Rob's hair styles. HA ha. Wish I could take you back into the Crazy Horse, so you could experience it too. You are such a fan. Thx for this.
I was at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit one night in 1968 when MC5 opened for Cream and did their very best to upstage the headliners. I'm so grateful that I saw MC5 perform live on stage; they were the best.
That barn still stands. I think a sprinkler company is in there.
That was absolutely brilliant. Thank you for putting in such a massive effort to make this video.
I've always fallen on the Stooges side of the Detroit line, but Kick Out The Jams broke my brain at 13 and I've never looked back! Thanks for this vid, long live the 5!
MC5 one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever! Thanks for this! Great Job! Greetings from Argentina!
Bravo! Fantastic video. The end was emotional. I’m now an MC5 fan. Thanks for introducing me to these guys. I’ve always known OF them but I never really knew ABOUT them. Because of your video I feel like I kind of KNOW them.
Planning on purchasing their discography asap.
Great way to start the week again with a vinyl Monday!
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
P.S. I’m really happy you
Mentioned Patti Smith near the end. She’s been one of my favorite artists since forever. My first wife’s name was Patti Smith.
Looking forward to a vinyl
Monday ft. Patti Smith
Maybe your best review ! Great stories too. Love the gold blouse and vest. Thanks for the deep dive into MC5. Keeping Rock and Roll alive !
I'm a recent convert here; only ever heard a few MC5 tracks in my life, (sorry...)
So what's keeping me here ?
Ab here is !! The entertaining approach, la joie de vivre, cuteness, silly asides, ect., will see me thru to the end of this puppy. And who knows ? I MAY even listen to the MC5 !!
Ima havta make the effort, tho- I'm currently into a hard-lock listening phase of:
The Doobie Bros.
Deep Purple
FZ & The Mothers
Argent
The things go in cycles for me- always have.
Keep up the great work there, Miss DeVoe !!
🚬😎👍
Watched it all the way through - had to do it in three sittings due to time constraints. Fantastic! I had the opportunity to watch what was suppsed to be the release of A Testimonial years back, before it was bootlegged, as a friend was married to Michael Davis, Wayne was on a label I was working for at the time, and met Dennis as well. Your DETAIL and ENTHUSIASM , even through the decline of the band, had me in awe, in tears, and in hysterics! Subscirbing!
hi Abby, lifelong music junkie here and worked at independent record stores for 15 years. Your videos are great, keep up the good work. At 1:55 I was sad to hear about your negative experience at a record store and feeling like an outsider and having to prove yourself. As a woman in that industry I can relate. Although I was treated well by most of my co-workers and customers....being a woman in music (retail, music industry, playing in bands) is extremely nuanced. Can be so difficult to navigate. We definitely have to sometimes work harder to "prove ourselves" but at the end of the day, EFF THOSE GUYS! LOL!
BUT in all seriousness, don't ever feel like you are on the outside looking in. You are part of it and deserve "a seat at the table" just like anyone else. And if some dumb record store employee (or whoever) makes you feel otherwise, well, they don't deserve YOU.
Sending good vibes from Sunny So Cal!
I love this video! I love your enthuiasm and I love that you found the MC5. I read about them when I was in my teens and got really curious. When I first heard Kick out the jams I was blown away, I had never heard anything like it. Now they have been a part of me for the last 30-35 years and their music never cease to amaze me. Love the intermission and the last Kick out the jams with the wild curls! 😊👍🏽
If the MC5 can't unf*ck your Monday, it's hopeless
I was thrilled to find High Time while stationed in Germany. Kind of a hug from home. A plus was that the German records were still the thick heavy vinyl. Sister Ann kicks it!!!
oh man that’s awesome!
Abby, this is your masterpiece. It's your Godfather II or Raging Bull.
it’s my Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
no really, this is the same length as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Wow, what an amazing video! I got into MC5 because of the Kick Out the Jams Vinyl Monday, it’s pretty much how I did a deep dive into their albums, a song from Back in The USA even ended up on my Spotify 2022 playlist!
I have never listened to the MC5, but I needed to hear you tell your tale. This was amazing. Your videos get better every week. I feel really lucky I've somehow come across your material this early in your RUclips career. Please keep doing more of ::waves vaguely:: THIS. Maybe a Gene Wilder Retrospective at your next milestone hahaha. I'd love to hear you opine about your favorites.
Wow this is the best video I've ever seen on the the MC5. You absolute love for the band and its music made this a joy to watch. I'm a huge fan of the MC5 and now I'm you fan too.
Wow wow wow. Just discovering your channel today. Goddamn delightful. Doing God's work right here. Long live The MC5 indeed!
Absolutely brilliant video, thank you. When you got to Denis talking about Rob, you made me cry … thank you.
Lovely Lady, I am so glad you have finally been able to complete this labour of obvious love. The band were groundbreaking and set the ball rolling for the punk movement of the mid to late 70s. Could you now move on and make my year complete with a similar deep-dive into the band Fanny? Their Charity Ball album was only the second I bought with my own money (Wildlife by Wings was the first) and I have loved their music ever since.🙃
Thank You. My favourite band of all time. You rule.
Met Wayne a few times u wont meet a more down to earth humble guy.
My mother is in a band called The Dogs. They started out playing with the MC5 and were very good friends with them, they would sometimes share amps. They are still playing today and will be in Detroit this fall. They actually wrote a song back in the early 70's about John Sinclair. Here is a lick to a really old video and the song. ruclips.net/video/Hn3ZBmz8glU/видео.html
Really enjoying this!Saw Wayne Kramer live in Las Vegas in 2000
It only took me 2 weeks, but I finally watched this whole video. LoL. I’ve been an MC5 fan for a long time, but I really learned a lot from this! Excellent work 🙏
Also totally agree that “High Time” is the best, most fully formed Five.
Wonderful video!!! RIP Dennis Thompson! Typical MC5 fate that all the members have died just as they get inducted into the Hall of Fame. BTW as someone with "wildman wayne" hair I appreciated all the hair talk
I came to this channel for the first time last night, at around 1:30 am, when I stumbled across the "Forever Changes" episode. This was my very next stop. At 2.6+ hours this deep dive was deeper and divier than I could have hoped for and I regret nothing!
I was in a small club in Detroit around 1990, on the stage was a band called " The vertical pillows". All of a sudden Rob is introduced he gets on stage and they do a rousing "Kick out the jams" and "Gloria" ,it was amazing! Glad I got to experience that before his death. Nice job on this video!!
oh my god that's incredible!! i've seen photos of him with the vertical pillows! his voice was incredible right up until the very end
I've never been able to find a truly great documentary on the MC5 so thank you for this cuz yeah you did an awesome job awesome awesome job awesome job
Abbey you need a patron page !
I would totally join.
This is an AMAZING episode. It amazes me that you are so deep into the 5 at such a young age. Makes me happy to know their legacy and fandom lives on. I haven't been motivated to read the Kramer book, (but did enjoy Michael Davis' I Nearly Brought Down the MC5). So I learned a lot of new info from you. Thank you! They certainly paid for their radical behaviour. I'm just sad about the sour grapes, for example Kramer stopping the release of the True Testimonial doc.
The MC5's version of Them's " I Can Only Give You Everything" was a life changer for me, a 12 year old Michigan kid. You tell a great story.
Glad I found this. First of excellent video, you have done a great and thorough job with gathering sources. We have definitely been poking around the same corners of the internet.
I was born and raised in Detroit and surrounding areas, actually I was born in the same hospital that Rob Tyner passed away in about a month later. I’m only 32 so way too young to have experienced any of this, it’s been a distant memory my whole life but I have always had a deep fascination with the MC5 and John Sinclair. I have a few books from John that are signed, some poetry as well as guitar army. I got a couple things from Leni as well, my favorites are a framed print of the KOTJ liner picture and notes signed by her and John and a framed Freedom Rally poster signed by John and Leni. I have an MC5 shirt with the original font from the designer and I smiled when I saw you take out the WPP button because mine was sitting right next to me. So cool seeing someone else into the 5 like I am. Sad losing Wayne and John so close together like that. Just Dennis now. Cheers from Detroit. You definitely got a new subscriber here.
I collect vinyl as well so this is all just kind of too good to be true. You rock!
PS - just visited Robs grave the other day and someone had left a harmonica on top❤
Took a couple days to finish but well done. MC5 is in my list of Top 10 bands and "High Time" is my favorite record.
One of my favorites of your thumbnails so far. NICE control over those midtones 🎸
Oh yeah, legendary video 👍😄
RIP Brother Wayne Kramer. You fought the good fight, finished your course, and kept your faith overall... 🎸🇺🇸
Kick out the jams is amazing
So cool to see you dissecting MC5! Yes, you have recharged my faith in the human race. ✌️🦋
What a Fantastic Look and Review at The MC5's Career! Well Done! 🇺🇸🙌🏻🇺🇸
I personally picked up on the MC5 in 1968 at 8 years old when my cousin played the first LP in its entirety, and I love bootlegs! It's a 70s thing, deal with it! And counter culture was already a real thing in the 1960s!
Very Well Done! I thought I was the avid MC5 Guy,but you may very well have me beat, I'm in total agreement with your album rankings,HIGH TIMES Hits The Hardest, and...the Tartor Field footage/gig is powerful,love watching Dennis snap thru drumsticks,and Wayne's dance moves are Hot, and like you said, they're chemistry is in high gear, I show and share that clip to all those that need to be reminded of how to do it,or turn them onto MC5.Ive actually reached out to Wayne,had to write him, and he replied and I could've died, I really respect his Jail Guitar Doors Organization, thx for letting me ramble,really enjoyed the video, Richie
You are too funny, this is my favorite episode!
Well done, Abigail. That was SO good.
