- On February 4, 2024 A.D. founding member of the rock n' roll band The MC5 Wayne Kramer died at the age of 75. Kramer was an influential guitarist and was considered one of the first proto-punk axe men of the sixties. He and his band mates record three studio albums before imploding from heavy drug use and the financial support of a record label. A few years after the MC5 collapsed, Kramer would spend for years in prison after being convicted of selling drugs to an undercover federal agent.
After his release from prison, Wayne Kramer would become a studio musician, a carpenter and briefly form a band with former New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders called "Gang War." During the 90's he would become a solo artist and release several records before reforming the MC5 with former members drummer Dennis Thompson and bassist Michael Davis. This new version of the band would tour off and on over the next twenty years with a cavalcade a members. Before Kramer's death, he talked about the MC5 now known as the MC50 releasing a fourth studio album that was produced by Bob Ezrin called "Heavy Lifting" sometime in the spring of 2024.

Losing Wayne is a sword in my heart , seeing mc5 live was beyond description, they were amazing and didn't make the hall of fame, they more than deserve it.
He was a awesome guy. Back in the early 2000s he sent me an autographed photo and we corresponded a few times.
Anyone who saw the MC5 on stage at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit saw the greatest live rock & roll band in America.
@@nadapuesnada7716 They sure did
Thanks Wayne for being such a colossal influence in more ways than one. RIP a true Rock n Roll hero.
He was a highly influential guitarist and from all accounts a great guy.
Rest In Power, Mr. Kramer. Saw you perform in person shortly after you were freed, you were great. You will be remembered
Kramer's stage presence was too brilliant for words. The combination of him and Fred "Sonic" Smith was so dynamic.
Genio musical no te olvidamos siempre nos guedara tu musica
Sí, su música nunca será olvidada. His music will never be forgotten.
I really liked Wayne, I thought he was the great talent of the MC5. He was able to get his life back together after a stint in jail and took responsibility for his behavior. Rock on Wayne Kramer. 😢
He was just an awesome guy from all accounts. Devoting his time to causes he believed in. He’ll be missed.
rest in peace WAYNE...
He was a true music icon.
Ohhh it is so sad, mc5 are for me one of the earliest Skaterpunk Band. They are iconic and made the way for Bands like Bad Religion or nofx maybe i think so .... Rest in peace you dancer and guitarist
The MC5 influenced a lot of bands and the punk rock era in the UK and America. Wayne Kramer's style and attitude on stage was often imitated but never duplicated.
MC5, two studio albums, one live. RIP, Brother Wayne. KOTJMF...
Yeah there first album was a live one and I forgot it was when I was making the video . I got hooked onto the MC5 after listening to it. Thanks for the correction.
Not enough respect being shown to Mr. Kramer smh. Wasn't the biggest fan but was definitely one. R.I.P.
I was watching some of his most recent stuff. The dude could still bring it on stage in his 70's. Such an amazing and talented man.
@@FFFNetwork that MC5 concert from the Beat Club from the early 70s is my favorite Wayne moment lol. It's posted here on RUclips and easy to find. Respect you for making this video for him.🤘👍🤝
oh just found this out now. I hate death.
Yeah it sucks.
