After dropping out of the fine arts program at Wayne State University, Davis became the bassist for Detroit's radical proto-punk band the MC5 in 1964, when singer Rob Tyner and guitarist Wayne Kramer decided that they liked Davis's style and wanted him in the band. He played on the band's three original albums, including their debut Kick Out the Jams, and remained in the the group until 1972

Mike was a great guy and a great friend. He was always happy to see me and a pleasure to work with and play with. I will always miss him.
The MC5 were ahead of their time....
Met Mike once , he took the time to really sit and talk. Corresponded with him a little , before the DTK/MC5 project took off. Super nice guy. No bullshit about him.
Music IS Revolution - R.I.P Michael Davis.
Rip Brother, we all miss You
I saw Destroy All Monsters at Crest-Lounge in Hamtramck..must have been 1977 or so.they were loud!! funny enough, I met Mike Davis when we were both living in Tucson, AZ. back in 1988, he was a gentleman..nice guy- was still playing bass- we almost hooked up a band together ( no-lie ) but he thought I was too flash-heavy metal at the time ( which I was ) so, he joined up with 2 guys I knew- guitarists- walter white and Cameron Wesly ( from sure-shot productions) they had a short lived band called- The False Idols…of course I went to thier gig at Mudbugs in Tucson.
just a bit of my personal rock and roll history. Met Rob Tyner once at the Detroit Zoo, he was a nice guy also-we talked a bit, I wish these guys heavenly peace- R.I.P. might aswell add this- I also met Wayne Kramer shortly after his prison release at Nikki's lounge on E. 6 Mile rd. he was kinda a wise-guy, had a bit of a I just got outta prison chip on his shoulder… maybe I better start a MC-5 Tribue band?
RIP Michael - Music is revolution - viva Detroit
