  • Documentary looking at how Detroit became home to a musical revolution that captured the sound of a nation in upheaval.
    In the early 60s, Motown transcended Detroit's inner city to take black music to a white audience, whilst in the late 60s suburban kids like the MC5 and the Stooges descended into the black inner city to create revolutionary rock expressing the rage of young white America.
    With contributions from Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Martha Reeves, John Sinclair and the MC5.

    While Twain was in London, someone started a rumor that he was gravely ill. It was followed by a rumor that he had died.
    According to a widely-repeated legend, one major American newspaper actually printed his obituary and, when Twain was told about this by a reporter, he quipped:
    “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
    (Detroit isn't dead folks. It is very much alive. New businesses. New construction. Homes being renovated. It may not be fully recovered but it is alive. So don't write its obituary yet.)

    Bob Seger was there throughout all of the 60s and 70s and still lives in metropolitan Detroit.He became a bigger act than any of them.

    I always wondered what Iggy and Alice thought of each other as showmen. Now I know---it's kind of as I thought. There are similarities and differences. Alice's version of "shock rock" was more polished and orchestrated, where Iggy was more spontaneous and improvised with his presentation

    Watch "It Came From Detroit" to see how the spirit of the MC5 continues in newer generations of bands. The Dirtbombs, The Paybacks, Electric Six, Hard Lessons and many more.

    Sorry Alice...but you aint got nothing on The Stooges! "They just stood there,and let Iggy do all the work"? Yeah...but they rocked way harder than ANY of your songs. No contest. They avoided that whole decadent seventies stadiumrock lameness.Where ROCK was just a word...without any content.🙄😁Hail Scott and Ron Ashton..They really were a special groovemachine.

    Now if that's not an oxymoron I don't know what is. It took Alice Cooper moving back to Detroit from Los Angeles in order to make it

      He didn't knock them. Just saying the whole band became like Iggy Pop rather than Alice doing all of the theatrical work.

      Comrade Thoth And he is right. The Stooges were not shooting for theatrical. They were in your face, but their music is very well composed and arranged.

    It was this very thing that made all of us youngsters in Detroit think we could rock. (back then) I personally never thought anyone was going to get, "discovered" in the Detroit area. I used to jam around with my friends & bandmates thinking no one will ever be found in these shit dives Piggy Slop got know 'cause he was a cock sucker. Read "Wonderland Ave" by Danny Sugarman.

      And there I was thinking Iggy Pop got known because he was the twisted frontman for a brutal, primal rock band, which produced live shows and albums utterly unlike anything else around at the time.

    I like The Stooges, but I just can’t trace the line between them and punk; punk as I know it anyways. For me punk as I know it and identify it , starts with the Ramones. The Stooges, MC5, The NY Dolls, etc....sound to me like a stripped down version, more agressive Rolling Stones.

      They literally created punk rock and brought a different kind of show to the people. A lot of people tried to copy them but failed
