Seen them at least 2 dozen times. They were the house band at the Grande (where this was recorded). I found out many years later my sister dated Rob Tyner .
Genius! I'm late to this party but long live Wayne! I hope to cover some of his stuff. I wonder if he wrote The American Ruse. The MC5 was amazing! Other classics Ramblin' Rose (Kramer voc), Come Together, Lookin At You, Human Being Lawnmower, Shakin Street, High School, Starship and the explosive blues tune Motor City's Burnin'!
Goodnight Brother Wayne, thanks for the testimonial. The MC5 were so dangerous, the FBI kept them under surveillance, they had a "Spiritual Advisor" for a manager, it doesnt get much better than that! For more, I'd say, Ramblin' Rose, or, I Can Only Give You Everything.... there is some good live footage from The Beat Club amongst others,which you've found already, worth checking out just for singer, Rob Tyler's hair and Wayne and Fred 'Sonic' Smith ( husband of Patti Smith) doing their synchronised guitar moves. On a related note, the first verse of the Clash song, Jail Guitar Doors, is about Wayne. It's also the name of a charity he was heavily involved in alongside Billy Bragg. Essentially they give guitars to prison inmates and encourage them to write songs about their experiences. You can find out a bit more about Wayne, a hilarious story involving the song and Bill Bragg, and his involvement with Jail Guitar Doors here.. ruclips.net/video/UMuiBusUz2A/видео.htmlsi=wx_npGVmbMdlrZTy
MC5 (Motor City Five) were a 'Garage' and (proto) Punk band and used to play at CBGB in New York, they were from Lincoln Park, Michigan, in the mid '60s at first they had a Psychedelic sound which changed later.
I too was late discovering The MC5. These guys were the real deal...pure, original, and raw. I was stunned going through videos of their live shows... absolute 🔥. They definitely burned white hot. RIP to Wayne Kramer. I recommend you look into Wayne's life... his prison time and then his work with prisoners after getting out is inspiring and interesting.
Thank you for video reaction and tribute. MC5 known for three albums 1969 to 1971, with the first Kick Out the Jams an amazing live album, fantastic songs including Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa), Starship etc. ......high energy.
MC5 were definitely proto punk. The Damned covered Looking at You. Also, the MC5 were Motorhead's Lemmy's favourite band. Yeah, when you get around to doing another MC5 song, I would recommend Looking at You which show cases Kramer's fiery guttering.
Kick Out The Jams was covered by Henry Rollins w Bad Brains (for film Pump Up The Volume) and it caused a huge scandal with a retailer in Detroit. Wayne founded an org Jail Guitar Doors to give guitars to inmates. Music curbs violence, and inmates need humane treatment. I'm an abolitionist of prisons especially the sketchy corporate ones. Also the prison industry influenced hip-hop to promote reckless outlaw behaviors and invest in prisons
I seen this news yesterday and combed Wikipedia and RUclips for info . I was in a punk band years ago n my mate said we were gonna do a Cover of a RATM song called “ Kick out the Jams “- once I’d learned the bass part it was a joy to play and it was years later my mate was exposed as a Twat as it turned out a band I’d never heard of ( clearly he hadn’t either ) called MC5 had written it and had a seminal live recording of it . I’m now VERY familiar with it and I love it . I had to endure ,without replying the other day ,the slings and arrows of someone stating as a fact that The Velvet Underground had kicked off punk .. 🙄.. bollocks ! You ask any of the main names in the punk movement who inspired them and MC5 invariably comes up and now Ive heard more of their early stuff 69-72 that makes perfect sense to me , ask Dave Grohl , he’ll tell you ! This is an electrifying live performance, I’ve seen it many times now , Wayne really rocks it out and the lead singers Afro is really something to behold 😅, they’ve left an enormous legacy behind 👏 👍🏴
@@SPKdesign1 what , when your exposed as a drooling village idiot when your patently ludicrous made up nonsense gets called oot ? 😆.. we’ve all been there ! When I was 18 I made the ultimate faux pas with my girlfriend when I asked her if it was true that ladies had their periods on the 28th of each month … 🤦♂️.. true btw ! I had to chuck her out of sheer embarrassment once my mum confirmed how thick I was by rolling around the floor laughing at me - I blame it on a 60’s n 70’s. Catholic education 😝.. 40 odd years ago and I’m still traumatised by my stupidity 😳😆 👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I worked wi a guy that did something similar. We even put a Video up on RUclips we did for it. It got a copyright notice and when I followed the link, I discovered the song was a note for note copy of something a Big Name DJ from Holland had done. I wissnae a Happy Bunny.
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering It was something the DJ didn't seem to have a proper release for but he was doing it Live at a club and somebody had Videoed it and put it up a few months before.
This was Punk long before Punk. Give Electra head Jac Holtzman credit for signing them The Stooges , Love & The Doors & Tim Buckley .. His label was exceptional.
Ned in Spain here. Yeah that video is GOLD and has a bunch of versions. Love " Motor City is Burnin " with actual riot footage behind them and Wayne doing the guitar as machine gun move ! Tartar Field just slams and even has an early stage dive.
A band I respected but never liked if thats understandable. Even hearing this trash ughhh… nope but still can understand how it’s a beginning to loads of bands that I love
To " Kick Out The Jams" means that you and your band/gang/brothers are all the way in and on fire, take no prisoners whether it James Brown or Motorhead. This recording is essential but a sonic mess, the drums are almost non existent. They were and for me always will be what a rock band should aspire to be. Listen to their final studio LP " High Time " as well.

Me too , I've only heard of them , this song is to " thrash" for me ❤ rest up brother 🏴✌️

Having seen the "five" many times in the day nothing has come close to their attitude and music. The Rock Hall needs to wake up!

Is anyone really surprised the first use of that on a major label came outta Detroit?

The live video versions to check out are from Beat Club and Tartar Field
This is right up my street.
Check out one of their compilations. Not all their stuff was well-produced but it's all good. Listen to Lookin At You!💥

Where Punk all started..before the Brits took over😊

I meant "guitaring" not guttering! That's the phone's auto nonsense!
there are live recording with video of performances at wayne state university and german tv that show the fun and fury theywere known for!

@@brewstergallery prime mc5.
I'm surprised you've not heard them. They didn't have a lot oot but they are something else for the time.
"something else for the time" might be the understatement of the century
Sadly, Dennis Thompson, drummer, passed yesterday, May 9, 2024...
They were briefly the house band for the White Panther party - a revolutionary grouping.
Check a band called Death and "Politicians In My Eyes" which was recorded in the mid 70s but not released properly for years.
Death are definitely worth checking out i agree 💯👍
@@heathcornbeef It's one of the LPs on mi very very long Need to Get list.
Iggy and The Stooges had some of the same type of sound. The same Deetroit metal.
A band I respected but never liked if thats understandable. Even hearing this trash ughhh… nope but still can understand how it’s a beginning to loads of bands that I love
The Kick Out the Jams album is one of the best debut albums ever. It was recorded live in late 1968
I was hoping you’d use the right version.
To " Kick Out The Jams" means that you and your band/gang/brothers are all the way in and on fire, take no prisoners whether it James Brown or Motorhead. This recording is essential but a sonic mess, the drums are almost non existent. They were and for me always will be what a rock band should aspire to be.

This sucks another one gone JUST STOP IT STOP DIEING
I like the Bad Brains cover better.
