The Cramps - Bikini Girls ... & Mule Skinner Blues (live)

[danthegreaser71]

R.I.P LUX:( . you are one hell of a frontman and are very much missed . POISON IVY rocks the gretsch better than anyone ! the CRAMPS will live forever! stay sick!

[bvivers]

Still makes me weep to think he's gone when you see stuff like this. Rock and roll lost one of its best sons.

[MrDrone1967]

Oh so bloody awesome.

[Hhound]

Stay Sick is great.. along w/ "A Date w/ Elvis"... Aloha from Hell is one of my faves... another punk band w/ surf/beach 50s sound is "Thee Shatners"

[Hhound]

@Hhound BTW.. Cramps fans might wanna look on P2P or torrent sites.. 10 years or so ago.. I get footage of the Cramps playing at a mental institution in California...very odd... peeps in PJs wandering around and some chick doing some spinning-dance while they are playing.. reminded me of the Ramones - Psycho Therapy video.. but it was real life/real-time... tottally surreal

[BulletWithYerName]

@Hhound

This was released on DVD a little while back.

[haller1929]

there is no music like this anymore...even alternative has all gone as queer as ColdPlay...ugh....

[bvivers]

Rock and roll at its absolute finest. Lux, I still miss you and think of you. RIP.

[skullsplitter5]

The best front man ever

Poison is the most underated guitar rock chick of all time she rocks the crap out of everybody

GET CRAMPED

[haller1929]

STAY SICK was my favorite album and my favorite line-up...Candy Del Mar on bass and Nick Knox on percussion...

[27wingnut]

never thought trashy and musically tight could go together......

[haller1929]

@27wingnut They DO with The Cramps!

[haller1929]

I'm surprised MULESKINNER BLUES didn't appear on ROOTS OF THE CRAMPS...

[haller1929]

No matter what you think of their content or Lux's stage antics, The Cramps remain one of the most technically sound bands ever. The music is awesomely tight. LLL.

[shangrila68]

Which finishing school did they get the presenter from?? LOL

Spit out that plum young lady.... & rock!!

[GonsalvoDeCordova]

The reaction of the hostess, at the end, is priceless.

[Jamescprado]

DOES WE NEED A TOP FIVE W' PINK FLOYD? BRUCE SPRINGTEN?

THERE WE GO:

RAMONES

CRAMPS

DICK DALE

DAVID BWE

THE CLASH

[DJAsh65]

Best live band EVER

[itsallinallston]

The newslady at the end is hilarious. (quietly, very British) "...The Cramps." She looks as though she might be related to the bass player. The nice sister, perhaps?

[jamierourketen]

he was nearly 60 here! mental! could pass for 40!

[agingstoner]

@jamierourketen: I believe he was more like 45 at the time.This was early 90s.

[wildsmart]

@agingstoner

I think this was much earlier than early 90's. I saw them in the mid eighties and he was toast by then.

[agingstoner]

@wildsmart Stay Sick, the album containing Bikini Girls and Muleskinner, was released in 1990. Their last album was released in 2003, so Lux was "toast" for a long time before he died suddenly and unexpectedly of an aortic dissection.

[jiffcat]

hey help me out with this lyric; speedo guys with *******

answers on a post card please

[Weirdsville13]

this live show really kick ass ! lux attitude is really cool ;)

[admanphoto]

See as many Cramps vids as you can, because you'll never see a better rock n roll band ever. R.I.P. Lux

[haller1929]

@admanphoto Skinny Black Santa may never compare, but I'm sure we're a new sound that the kids are waiting for...RUN WITH THE RABBITS

[JohnDevoto92]

@admanphoto though i think your part right, that the cramps are one of the best rock n roll bands I wouldn't say they were the best, I think the stones take that crown, the cramps are a very close second

[Habukberht]

@JohnDevoto92 Your top two go The Rolling Stones then the Cramps? Thats eclectic.

[JohnDevoto92]

@Habukberht ill give you my top 5

The Stones

The Cramps

Pink Floyd

Bob Dylan

and Bruce Springsteen lol

[Habukberht]

@JohnDevoto92 Here's mine

The Clash

The Cramps

X

Iggy Pop

Tom Waits

[JohnDevoto92]

@Habukberht nice, i'd figure Iggy would be up with the clash and the cramps though, but nice none the less

[Habukberht]

@JohnDevoto92 That list was in no particular order, just the top five sitting up there. Ordered they would be The Clash, Tom Waits, The Cramps, Iggy Pop, X

[xanglat]

GREAT

Thank's a lot for posting !

SMILE

[haller1929]

Jee-zus Cree-yist....Buk, Drew, and Lux....all my heroes are dead...arrgh....

[sufc24]

Lux u will be missed...........

[sufc24]

enjoy this and every other live clip cos that it....i was lucky enough to see the cramps live a few times in London... never shy to be different and they were original never followers. RIP Lux u are missed

[lamuerteviva]

aint nothin more awesome than a dude clad in pleather and sandwiched by two hot chicks

[DNRY122]

First time I saw a photo of "Poison Ivy" (on the cover of a long-vanished magazine at a Tower Records), I thought, "She's the kind of woman mothers warn their sons about"--but boy, she plays some WICKED guitar!

[haller1929]

it's the young Elvis attitude, and THOSE CRAZY EYES

[haller1929]

Lux had the right idea...belt out your tunes like a drugged-up Elvis, and get some hot chicks to play on guitar...add one catatonic drummer...THE CRAMPS!

[chefnodd]

Punkabilly at it's best the cramps rule!

[haller1929]

I can't believe MTV edited the crap out of this..."on LSD" became "in Tennessee" and "threeways" became "freeways"...pussies...

[bvivers]

Marilyn Manson CANNOT hold a candle to Lux. Manson has about as much originality as PISSING.

[bvivers]

Without doubt, the greatest undead rock and roll band to have EVER EXISTED.

Lux Interior - you will be missed.

[wizotch]

i first saw these guys on much music and fell in loveeeeeeee ^^(;,,,,;)^^

[TheNeroneko]

Lux. Sexy!!

[racialrachel]

you compare LUX to MarryLynn ......how long have you been smok'in crack?

[bluemoon9uk]

Speechless..................th­e best live band ever, surely? How can you top that?

[rhythmcorp]

oh man! (and woman!). Is there something else left in Lux.

[sde22ssw]

love the girls

[viatrak88]

she sleep

[buzzersounds]

where's candy del mar?

[thaibites]

I wish Lux would've run over to that smarmy host and punched her in the face.

I love Poison Ivy!

[MontagueBurton]

A nation would rejoice if you did!

[johnny991965]

Bitchin' psychobilly. The Cramps were kings!

[devann3]

I've been a drag racer on LSD and I've rode bareassed on TOP of the sphinx

RIP Lux.

</3

[MmeLEnfer]

Lux is überhot in a bikini <3

We'll never have such a good-looking crossdresser on the earth again...

[jakeuglyface]

wow! awesome!

[galaxyrock]

When the Kipsigi tribe of East Africa first heard the music of Jimmie Rodgers (such as Muleskinner Blues), they believed he was a satyr-like pagan fertility god. I can't imagine how they would flip their lids if they heard Lux.

[the13corinne]

Great Rockabilly punk!!! i have Stay Sick on cassette can't great enough i need more cramps!!!!

[Smumps]

Miss you Lux there will never another like you x

[dvdfrnzwbr]

How on earth did this band not make it big, and on top of the charts. For goodness sakes this kind of talent should be playing Super Bowl half time shows.

[thewolfspeaks]

When was this? it's utterly feckin' brill

[jiffcat]

damn I miss you mad daddy

[zazen7]

these guys are such a sick bunch ov fuks..awsome.

[z0mby]

One of their best albums

[herbermartinez]

poison ivys solo is so fucking killer

[garthspencer]

Too bad this is so good, the Cramps rock.

[VoodooCramps]

Such a good album...

[uforstaelige]

Fuckin' sic, as always

[amnaki]

The one and only Cramps!!!! They kept it simple and sexy ..never NEVER betrayed their believes ....TRUE ROCKING BONES !!!

[gorblimey61]

Lux was one zany mofo! May he rest in peace.

[emster73]

Lux Is Dead???? :((((

[Squatch]

Yes. February 4th 2009, The Day The Music Died. :(

[jiffcat]

I want my mad daddy back

[Ruiner10000000001]

Saw this when it was originally broadcast (The Late Show, BBC2) and taught it was totally ace. I was familiar with The Fendermen's version of Mule Skinner Blues" then so it was a nice surprise to hear The Cramps do it. Still looks and sounds ace!!

[Yummyboon]

Wasn't it before this Performance there was a woman talking about sexism in the media? Love the BBC

[johnnycanada]

The real deal. Thank you Lux.

[patrickdelbianco]

so fucking great!!!!

[munk237]

Long live The Cramos. Lux you will be missed terribly

[thezacker]

They opened with Mule Skinner at the Latin Quarter in Detroit in '90 or '91....that show changed my expectations for live music forever. LUX/IVY in our hearts for real!

[ChazMatt]

RIP Lux Interior. He will be missed.

[thewhitetrashmuseum]

Very much so.

[Boogieboy138]

I fucking love Lux! Hes inspired me so much! He made me want to sing like him, to have the same music as him, he is just so fucking cool

[maxtookey]

One of the best bands to ever grace this planet!!

[xdarkdaysx]

:).

[Snotra]

Hey Ivy....lets not have sex tonite...lets just jam!

[hdctdc]

I got to party with candy del mar!She was one crazy girl and so HOT!!

[2853rob]

Best Cramps line up for me

[CatsFanatic78]

IMO,this is the best Cramps line-up ever.This is the way they should of kept it.Candy Del Mar and Nick Knox just complete it man.

[84211805]

Great band and songs, but the camera work made me want to hurl. Looks like this was the Late Show on BBC2? And why didnt we see more of Candy Del Mar on bass? Boo Hoo!

[wildanimalboy]

awesome! I agree, though manson has his merits.

[djsundancekid]

Lux makes look Marylin manson like a church choir singer...

[smallacj]

More accurately, Lux makes Marilyn Manson look like the cheap imitation that he is.

[SIRKELAVSVART]

@smallacj

best thing i've seen all day.

: )

[Greenfuzz138]

@djsundancekid yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[littlevolcano]

Cripes. How could I do anything but 'favorite' this right away.

[noahmowsen]

jimmy rogers ,muleskinner blues,the cramps always awesome

[gerexploi]

genios.. temasos aguante the cramps argentina

[agingstoner]

ROFL. At 6:01 he asks Ivy "How do you get these damn things off?"

[DjElSemtex]

Muleskinner Blues!! :-))

[drochfuil]

Lux is nuttier than squirrel shit! This is fuckin great. The Cramps forever!

[raindog70]

Fantastic! First time I've seen this since it first aired, four coolest people on the planet. Only one objection - not enough close ups of Candy. God, she was hot.

[pataphysician66]

Lux is the absolute shit! And i think he is as hot as Ivy! Plus he's got great pecs for a skinny guy!

[tacomadc]

Their best lineup ever! Actually fitting a Shure SM-58 microphone in your mouth is pretty damned hard!

[tacomadc]

The two hottest girls ever in a band together! Is it just me or does Lux look - Healthy?

[audio01]

err.. not kidding

[audio01]

i did it twice (on a row)

[countingdown27]

i masterbate to this video

[admanphoto]

LOL!

[modemrider138]

one of the most amazing bands that ever walked the earth,a twisted male frontman surounded by two beutiful women on bass and guitar, i dont know who to drool over candy or ivy.

[deamondoll]

It gave me the heevie geevies:)

[mrjon75]

thanks! stay sick is one of my favorite albums. wish they'd come to houston one more time.

[Davidrogerman]

Ivy es tremenda con la guitarra

[LUXIVYFAN]

I lone the casual way she introduces"Bikini Girls with machine guns" as if this was such a typical title for a song

[Earwaxharvester]

Wow!!! Thank you for sharing this clip

[AlbertKidd]

Fantastic footage, presume it's from BBC2's The Late Show? And doesn't Kirsty Wark look SO much younger! Cheers for putting this up.
