Awesome! This is all the way live. And it's the definitive version. They did their debut album live. Pretty cool...
Got to hear Iggy Pop and the Stooges and also Richard Hell & the voidoids. And of course Jim Carroll.
The song (and whole album) was recorded live in concert. Pretty much the birth of US punk, MC5 and The Stooges. As far as the F-bomb, they narrowly beat Jefferson Airplane to the first use - but the Airplane sang it so sweetly that they got away with singing it on TV without anyone noticing! That was in their song "Volunteers/We Can Be Together" with the lyric "Up against the wall motherfzxcers".
don't mention those smelly hippies alongside the mighty MC5 again
Gotta check out The Stooges now. T.V Eye, Search And Destroy, I Wanna Be Your Dog, Not Right, Loose, or Raw Power. Really anything from the first 3 Stooges albums would make me happy but those are some of the best IMO
Great tracks, check this Stooges track: 'I Got A Right'. 6YMeZSxNWV8
This was recorded live in 1969 at their home, Detroit's Grande Ballroom.
Actually recorded in 1968 and then released in 69. Hopefully the grande ballroom will be restored someday, lots of amazing stuff happened there.
watch the vids, these guys way before their time. Everybody learned from them. Be no punk without them , but they are more than that, one of the greatest groups ever.
They were punk, before punk!
Unquestionably ahead of their time.
Why is it that anything that is considered still relevant in a later time is called “ahead of its time”?
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Not sure what your problem is. The phrase indicates two ideas - one, that what the group is doing would become much more common and popular in the future and two, that if they their career was shifted forward they would have likely received more acclaim/popular success because of that. Both are applicable here.
Their guitarist was Fred "Sonic" Smith who married Patti Smith. She's been called the poet laureate of punk. You should listen to her version of "Gloria".
Yes, Gloria and Land, please!
This one wasn't getting a whole lot of radio time in my highschool years.
Great, influential track, you need to see the extended video version from 72 or so, it is 8 minutes long and is a killer musical experience. Blue Oyster Cult used to cover this as well. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Everyone else is suggesting the Stooges so I’ll vote it too. I once read an article that traced thrash metal back to Iggy and the Stooges. The Stooges inspired punk bands like The Ramones and Misfits and those bands paved the way to hardcore, meanwhile Motorhead is playing among the punks and inspiring them, and then you had the New Wave of British Heavy Metal which adopted punk energy and do-it-yourself attitude, and so hardcore and metal eventually merged all over the place and gave us thrash. Stooges weren’t any of these things, but most of the music we like today can be traced back to them somehow. Funhouse is my favorite Stooges record, I still play it all the time and I got the box set. But all three albums are great in their own way. Down On the Street is a good one, so are I Wanna Be Your Dog and 1969.
The MC5 were also noted as an incredibly political band. They were the subject of FBI investigation and harassment, their manager was imprisoned, and the record label was pressured to drop them. They were very much the NWA/RATM of their day.
We need to jail these punk band's!
@@ronaldnixon8226 You sir, have picked a perfect name.. _Great Job!_
Ratm sold out and mc5 didnt
the white panther party is still arming themselves...
Obama doin' to Trump ?
You really want to check out their live performance of this from the German Beat Club music programme from 1972 . It will blow you out of the water!
Fantastic track. There is a great live version video of this from 70. Another similar and very influential band from Detroit at the same time was Iggy and the stooges. Jefferson Airplane used the word mother-F’er on their song “We should be Together” in 1968 and even sang it on TV That’s a good song too with similar sentiment but in a different style. Great reaction thanks.
Can’t wait for him to see Iggy pop, maybe Lust for Life or The Passenger
@@lunadyana3330 I think the Stooges albums like funhouse and raw power would be better. Songs like “TV Eye” or any track from those two albums.
@@Hartlor_Tayley correct
@@dylandenney3980 the original vinyl still sounds best to me. ruclips.net/video/1OedEgzDl_I/видео.html
@@Hartlor_Tayley I don't have the originals but my reissues sound pretty great. Especially the first album
One of the greatest band all times. Underestimated.
Dude, you gotta watch the video from this gig. The energy these guys put forth in the video makes me wanna go nuts!! And I'm 64!! Love it (and if you look at the audience - stunned) 🤘
This was the energy in Detroit during my misspent youth, teen years. I just saw The MC5 (Wayne Kramer holding true) here in San Francisco last year, 13 May 2022. Great show in a small club, loud as hell. Loved it. Peace.
Thanks to talent scout Danny Fields, Elektra Records signed the MC-5 and Stooges on the same day. Danny later got fired for his troubles, I think.
LEMMY IS ON RECORD TO HAVE SAID " ALL HE WANTED MOTÖRHEAD TO BE WAS AN ENGLISH VERSION OF THE MC5 "
Big influence on iggy and the Stooges
I don’t know which came first. Stooges song “TV Eye” should be his next from MC5 also in 1970.
Grande Ballroom in Detroit, I believe. Another line I remember from the album, in the talking/yelling between songs was…”the time has come .. it takes ten seconds of decision… 10 seconds of decision whether you are going to part of the problem… or part of the SOLUTION!!” Yeah, that stuck with me. Grew up in Detroit suburbs, this WAS a sensation, sort of underground, rebellious LP.
Detroit proud!!!!
That was John Sinclair, White Panther guy, IIRC.
In 1969, there was usually only one AM station that played all kinds of music...today it would be called top 40 and this is where I first heard this song amazing
Live at the Grande Ballroom on Halloween night 1969. On the corner of Joy Road and Beverly in Detroit Michigan.
Another song you would probably like is Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag by Country Joe and the Fish from Woodstock. It starts out with the "Fish" cheer which is bleeped out on some versions of the documentary.
Also guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith was ranked #93 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 100 guitarists.
The MC5 band was also invited by Jerrie Rubin and Abby Hoffman to perform at a free outdoor concert during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago,
Ramblin' Rose is a great song also.
Recorded live at the Grande Ballroom 8952 Grand River Ave. Detroit, Michigan October 30th, 31st, 1968.
Sayed this was recorded live in the Grande Ballroom Detroit 1967
Soon as the folks' car reached the end of the driveway, this was on the turntable. We must have thought the neighbours were deaf ... !
THIS WAS 100% LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kick Out the Jams by MC5 and Live at Leeds by the WHO are the two finest live hard rock albums of all time. And I was AT the Grande in their heyday!
In 1990, the Bad Brains, an amazing and highly influential Punk band from DC whose members are Black (almost unheard of in the Punk genre back in the 70’s and ‘80’s), did an outstanding cover of KOTJ, featuring Henry Rollins from Black Flag/Rollins Band on lead vocals.
Liked and Subbed. Thanks for reacting to this - off now to check out other reactions of yours. Peace from The ATL.
Listen to the original "You Really Got Me" by the Kinks from 1964. Dave Davies yells "Fu*k off!" just before the short drum break that leads into the guitar solo. It's one of those things that's in low in the mix so you only notice it when you listen for it but once you hear it you'll never be able to unhear it. That F-bomb was played on every top-40 radio station in America and England in 1964-65 and it still gets played today.
For the more musical people, Dave says "Fuh" just before playing the C chord that sustains through the drum break, then "Koff" in sync with the attack of that C chord. He has a somewhat high voice so it sounds like a munchkin saying it. Listen closely!
Recorded October 31, 1968, live at the Grande Ballroom, Detroit, Michigan
KIck Out The Jams referred to eliminating the long jams in then present day rock music. Another great song on this album "Ramblin Rose"
Live at the Grand Ballroom in Detroit
Check out some of the solo work by Wayne Kramer and Sonic Smith, the two guitar players on this recording. Dangerous Madness by Wayne Kramer and City Slang by Sonic's Rendezvous are good places to start.
Rage Against the Machine’s cover of this song is excellent.
Yeah, and it's better than most covers, but I still haven't heard a version that touches the MC5. Even Monster Magnet's version was even a bit too tame! I thought the President's of the USA took an interesting approach by rewriting literally all of the lyrics except the hook!
Great take dude.
The Album was Live. Note that one of the guitarists was Fred "Sonic" Smith,who was the husband of the legendary Patti Smith.
This is Detroit Michigan rock I grew up with in the 60s!
The Detroit is credited for beginnings of punk
I love your channel. 👌
The original vinyl release censored the F-bomb, replacing it with the same "brothers and sisters" heard earlier in the album.
There were two versions released. Record stores sold the censored version on the shelves and the uncensored one behind the counter. The censored version also cut out some of John Sinclair’s liner notes on the sleeve.
They sound like a late 70s punk band. Way ahead of their time. And yes its a live album
this was the studio version, I bought it as a 45
The MC5 were years ahead of their time. The Rock Hall is years behind the times. Long live the MC5.
Nasty guys from Detroit rockin so hard, so loud!🤘🔥🔥🤘
MC5 guitar player Fred "Sonic" Smith later married Patti Smith.
Love it!
Being from Detroit ohhhhhhhhhhh yaaaaaa!
Motor City 5!!! A great part of Detroit history!
Detroit and Cleveland fans and shows were the best pre 1984, a consensus of bands local and international
Those midwest rockera are real
Who - "Who Are You" (1978) UK version not on the US version though. Pink Floyd "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" 1977
I remember my college roommate going out and buying this album back in…..spring of 1966? I do remember being flabbergasted that they got away with “Kick out the jams, motherfuckers”. Frankly, that’s all I remember about the song! 😅
By the way, John Lennon was put on the FBI watch list because of his support for Sinclair of this band...Also see Country Joe at Woodstock...Dude, it is live...
Glad you enjoyed the track, yeah there's no studio version of this track, the whole album is live.
If you fancy seeing a film of these guys performing this as well, then here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/0tx8GiTFK-I/видео.html
The guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith married Patti Smith and died way too young.
It was live. In a park by a college.
That’s the concert at Tartar Field. This album was recorded at the Grande Ballroom on Gate Night and Halloween of 1968.
Their politics are a huge part of their importance. One of the greatest bands of all time. This IS a live performance.
It is live.
KISS legit made their whole career of this one song.
MC5 along with the Stooges are, in my opinion, the true birth of American punk. The evolution of hard garage rock into something that was explicitly raw, angry, and often political. What it lacks in technical prowess and polish it makes up for in raw aggression and emotion. Love it.
It is a live recording, by the way.
RIP Wayne
'67 in the Big 10 circuit?
Afrika Bambaataa recorded a version!
Denis MACHINE GUN Thompson on the drums
RIP DENIS
Detroit Proto-punk.
Motor City Five…..
Fred Smith married Patti Smith later on. makes sense
The stipulation is that it was released by a major label? The F-bomb's not in the lyrics, and there was an edited version released for radio.This is a recording from 1935 that rivals dirty hip-hop
ruclips.net/video/gkPCmIxv-3k/видео.html
1969
First swear word in music? Well, I think Lucille Bogan might have been half a century or so earlier ;). ruclips.net/video/gkPCmIxv-3k/видео.html
Lots of narcotics :-)
And…the Rock Hall, has not included The MC5…elligle for years,…the fan vote, they have gotten votes, myself included. And, Whitney Houston gets in before The MC5. 🙄
band were anti establishment and from Detroit they don't fuck around in the big D
nice reaction bud
Day 4 of begging Syed to react to Rio by Duran Duran
Can't leave out NYC contribution to proto-punk with the New York Dolls and Velvet Underground
