Cramps - Thee Most Exalted Potentate of Love

[lamuerteviva]

lux was rock n roll, the sickest of all time

is that a lightbulb in his mouth? rest in peace you depraved crazy bastard

[ScorchConch]

This song is one of the main reasons the Cramps kick ass.

FIVE*****!

[PoppyCrust]

I heart Lux.

[teddyJadeable]

I heart The Cramps.

[pzamma]

Anybody knows where the video was shot? Could it be London at the infamous "batcave"?

[gazzagonad]

This and two more appeared on a Channel 4 Tube special and I have a feeling the place is therefore a stage set.

RIP Lux, I saw him several times - at Birmingham he walked out onto the audience, still singing, and then jumped on my girlfriend, pinned her to the ground sang 'and i felt her breasts' and he did! She enjoyed every minute but Poison looked well moody!!!

[MmeLEnfer]

What was the third? I only ever had the fortune to see this and Good Taste

Great tale there!

[gazzagonad]

There was an interview, some old videos but I am sure there were three shot in the same place. I do actually have it on video but don't hold your breath cos finding the video is going to take a while!

When I saw them in Barcelona Lux climbed the stack in teetering high heels and tights and then got his dick out. Not a pretty sight, kinda hoped Ivy would do something similar!

[MmeLEnfer]

The audio was recorded at the Peppermint Lounge, but I'm not sure about the visuals... I'd hazard the same

[DannyA123]

The announcer says "LIVE from the Peppermint Lounge," which is in NYC.

[chubbycheeks2]

The peppermint lounge, thats the one.

[icejake]

this might just be the coolest thing i´ve ever seen

[gawron77]

nie mam slow kurwa mac !

[tekiibitch]

i would fuck lux so hard

[MmeLEnfer]

So would I - but Ivy deserves Lux more than I do, unfortunately for me.

[chelahds]

Lux's opening words....the sexiest ever!!!

[MmeLEnfer]

Hell yeah. I'd go to his subterranean lair anytime...

[DoogManStar]

Love this intro. That's how you rap...(!)

[loachomattic]

Lux, Lux, Lux. If you can't dig the Cramps you can't dig nothing.

[AccyRed]

RIP Lux

sorely missed,a true legend,died on my birthday

Thanks for all those great years

[sinner48]

lux will be sadly missed and ivy will be ok long may the cramps music go on

[RushAnthem69]

Ah this song is so badass, Queens of the Stone Age do a really good cover of this song.

[USAwelsh]

RIP JessieKitty...hope you run into Lux and have some fun on the other side, my darling!

[trthnd4jstc]

Great! Thanks Lux and Poison Ivy and the Band! Thanks for the post. R.i.P.

[mikeparadigm]

RIP lux, one of the best vids ive ever seen... when music was music

[peckiledorf]

90% of all teens would go into a panic if Miley Cyrus was on a 100 foot building about to jump... copy and paste this if you are of the 10% who yelled "Jump Bitch!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HARDY FUCKING HAR! YEAH, MUSIC IS A FUCKING WASTE NOW A DAYS, yeah...uh?...I think I need to pull a fucking Gihad on the entire music industry, wish me luck! And oh, Rest in Peace Lux, and Poison Ivy, I fucking love ya......MAY ELVIS FUCKING CHRIST LIVE FOREVER!!

[genaroalexander]

No other band could touch The Cramps...

They created music that the entire universe could get down to... Especially Ivy on the guitar! She's so HOT!

They truly were one of a kind....

Good music stops here....

[emster73]

Lux interior is dead, :(

[paralyzedlullaby]

nice :-)

[Pyramus4Thisbe]

I have never seen the like...

[stonedruid69]

This is the first Cramps song I heared as a confused 13 year old back in the good old 80's.I ain't ever looked back!!! They were something comepleteley different from all that "I'm tougher than you" jock punk shit at the time & I'll always love them for that.The Cramps fucking rule.....forever.

[wiseblood90]

i saw the cramps in the early 80s leeds poly tues and the hacenda man wed .god this takes me back

[gallavant40]

i am a child of the 80's, now a grandmother. this is what it was. now when i see these brave children, carrying forth with the blessings of their ancestors, their cherished (yes, i had one as an 80' s mom) mohawks, i just want to give their multiply pierced darlingly tatooed mohawk sporting leather jacket and stud wearing a ""fu## all ya'll" southern nana stamp of approval. keep it going, little dudes and dudedetts. RIP, and be blessed.

[Remmy55]

.....I love you, marry me grandmother

[gallavant40]

try Faun Andro and

Wicked Tinkers - blow yer mind. did mine the first time i heard it -

[explodingboy21]

The song that started it all for me...R.I.P. Lux

[AlysounRI]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, why did Lux have to go so early. What a shock. Let's hope the afterlife is full some really hip people to keep him company ... it's a sad, sad day. RIP Lux, you will be missed. Poor Ivy, she must be in a wretched place today.

[DoogManStar]

I think he's probably going straight to purgatory. Somehow I think he'll be fine with that, though...

[myrtletickner]

im cramped :(

[cousingrim]

perhaps thee hippest man to ever walk this earth.

so talented, so cool.

[ClashCityRockers0]

Damn straight.

[ernestfuckinborgnine]

Oh Brother Lux. You'll be missed. Death is an asshole.

[NYNick20]

R.I.P

[libitina78]

I am glad I saw them front row HOB Sunset in 2006. I am truly bummed. RIP Lux and now you get to rock with Elvis

[nrg15166]

[puppyska]

RIP LUX

[Pogonek]

R.I.P. Lux

[JohnMoseley]

Their best song. Never got to see this video before. Thanks. Very sad at the man's passing.

[DonHaffes]

R.I.P. Lux :(

[dnoyz1]

Well when I die don't you bury

me at all, Just nail my bonesup on

the wall, Beneath these bones let

these words be seen, "This is the

bloody gears of a

boppin' machine"

[iamatwat]

absolutely mate..played most of the albums tonight but when RB came on it hit the nail on the head and made me smile,esp the lyrics in the first minute of the song.....posthumous thats the song to listen to, certainly tonight. a very sad day. love to ivy

[downwithutube]

RIP. Lux! :(

[Shamus8b8]

Lol you bunch of yoyos, QOTSA and The Cramps are nothing a like, why compare them? In the end it just comes down to personal preference, but not of course if you're great like me and you like both bands

[rodolfo2martelo]

qotsa !!! better than cramps ohhh fuck how dumb is that

[foofan92]

pfft... this shit compared to qotsa.

jeez this sounds like kids that recorded on cassette.

plus get lyrics...not

fuck cramps.

Qotsa rules, but they sort of lost some respect when they covered this shitttttttt

[b0xD]

Lmfao, cheer up bro, don't get upset over this. QOTSA are one of my favourite bands, and their cover of this song is good in its own way, as is the original. Obviously you lack the intellect to appreciate fine music and resort to typing out mindless profanities and insults in the Youtube comments section. Go learn to be a grown up and come back, k bub? I say, there needs to be a minimum IQ you must have to comment here...

[Zeketh88]

Wouldn't that be a shame if the ones who use "mindless profanities" have a higher IQ...

[kristina81212]

fucking HOT

[luinorthshields]

Absolute legends!!!! QOTSA are good, but are nothing like The Cramps, how can you compare them????

[howtomakeamonster]

bendinggreenvans, you are quite the retard; QOTSA are pure crap; they are impossible to compare to The Cramps

[orestes1983]

Eat shit and die, or fuck off at least.

[bendinggreenvans]

QOTSA cover is better

[FrankTownsend]

What a band!

[tenerife134]

they are fucking ace...

[bogoio]

****king distortion!

[djsundancekid]

Fuck Yeah! This make me crazy....

[joshcz]

Mad, you called me mad????!!!!!!

[kurt72]

this was the first song i ever heard of the cramps. "Mad, you called me mad????!!!!!!", that line is what drew me to them and love this band.

[PsychoZombieCorpse]

One of my favorite by the Cramps <3

[LLMelvinL]

the queens of the stone age did a cover to this.

[jerrynotnice]

And no other band could of done it better then they did.

[LLMelvinL]

Damn right!

[evanelpus]

Rubbish!
