[sonnyjim917]

woo eee aaah aaah!

[monkeypuzzle351]

check out "LINK WRAY" hipsters the cramps owe him everything they ever made

[jammyjuke]

@monkeypuzzle351 Link Wray invented the power chord, so it isn't only the Cramps that owe Link, it is EVERY modern rock guitarist.

[monkeypuzzle351]

@jammyjuke dont get me wrong i was a huge cramps fan 27 years ago ,the cramps copied lots of links tunes note 4 note only just adding their own words. i just think LINK WRAY needs to be acknowledged and inducted into the rock'n'roll hall of frame RIP LINK WRAY

[ugmold]

Bryan Gregory!

[yonkytriel]

Bad music for bad people ;-}

[PIERRECLARY]

my grandma caught me watching this on her TV the only time it was ever broadcasted on the french network inthe very early 80's i uess?. She was horrified, scandalized and unplugged the st despite my protests....

Poor old granma Mimi Cancer and Alzeihmer got her 12 years ago.

[Skulldini]

@PIERRECLARY Poor lady! Maybe she should've been more worried about cancer and alzeihmers than videos like this.

[vortie8]

You gotta beat it with a stick...uh uh

[02madre]

R.I.P. LUX

[chitarraro92]

[TheStrainers]

The Best RocknRoll band ever !

[Hellishcrusade]

We love you Lux Interior....an awful fucking lot.

[gimpslave1]

[cbgbomfugrip2006]

[fenderman0463]

[A2Z83]

you aint no punk, you punk

[Skulldini]

"Get out of your minde,.. or get out of my way !!!!"

Great head-tune !!

[FlamingCannibal]

i fuckin love that line too!

[MCampbell13]

maybe the best video ever... God I miss you Lux, Rest in Peace. God bless the Cramps.

[blitzspeer]

I used to be able to get my dad of all people to listen to them and thats probably because they sounded rockabilly but he never saw them haha.

[exeuroweenie]

I'm in my 40's now.Been listening to them since '81.Other acts(punk and otherwise) I've loved have turned other people off.I've inadvertently played them when;preppies,my parents,UPS men,little kids,rednecks,ghetto people,hippies,thugs,Brighthou­se repairmen,were around.People seemed to like them(and start freaking) on some primal level.

[MmeLEnfer]

The Cramps give you a kick in the libido. Everybody needs that from time to time.

[dickrobot]

wooohooooo! I['m the garbageman.

[ThePoisonDoor]

very good (:

[looshkin66]

If you cant dig me, then you cant dig NOTHING!

Do you want the real thing or are you just talkin'?

[puffpuffyogi]

Fuck!, Lex Is The Shit!!!

[MmeLEnfer]

You meant Lux, right?

[looshkin66]

It's LUX.....not lex.

[sawboss17]

You have now been CRAMPED!

[MrMotoretro]

still in love with ivy. lux will truly miss you but thanks for all the mental gigs sometime in the 80s !!!

[cardigansarecool]

that's one of the greatest lines in music history.

[robodoll]

[arropia]

[Skulldini]

Transylvanian rock'abilly

[lowlockunknown]

Has there ever been a more fun/wrong band then The Cramps ? The answer is no.....Red light district music, what's not to love ?

[MmeLEnfer]

"Do the red light rock! Down at the whorehouse! It's an electric shock! That makes your brain fall out! Works on your nerves! To make you twist and shout!"

The Cramps

[Dragslo]

WHOOOOOOOH! Do the red light rock! Down at the whorehouse! It's an electric shock!!!!

You should never sent me this song, I keep saying this!! xD

[MmeLEnfer]

It's a disease for which there is no known cure - YOU got CRAMPS honey!

[Dragslo]

I bet everyone whoever is your love, gets smitten with Cramps, I am damn happy to have Cramps Cancer, haha! Hurray the incurable CC!

[braindamagehurts44]

[MmeLEnfer]

Weren't they!

[Zweibein666]

They were ^^

[fairlystupidjello]

[Amadablam69]

[vojkansq]

[elaineezy]

REST IN PEACE LUX, xo!

i wish i were alive back then to see the cramps.

[BostonRocker51]

I first saw The Cramps in DC at the Warner Theater in 1978. Root Boy Slim was the headliner. I was amazed by The Cramps, plus there was more weed in the mens room than I'd ever seen! Cool Show. Met Lux & Ivy in Boston & was totally starstruck. Lux owned the stage,. He was as good as Iggy ever was, and I saw The Stooges in 1970 so I know...

[breakingthe4thwall]

RIP LUX

[uN00b]

Lux, you where hugely influential on untold legions of musicians and fans, you will be missed.

[Skulldini]

Here ye all ye cramped!!

SEE the curent issue of Rue Morgue magazine. Cover story on Lux.

[ClashCityRockers0]

LUX. Je t'adore et les Cramps aussi!!!

[FWFWFWF]

Loved this tune when it came out and still do.

To be fair though, Lux was borrowing heavily from Mick Jagger here. Shoot me down if you like.

[ClashCityRockers0]

If he's borrowing from Mick, he's doing it better so it's all good! ;)

[diffendar]

I loved this band, saw them 3 times in a row, at Hammersmith palais back in the 80's....and numerous other times.

I loved Ivy, she was so cool!!

[lollooba]

THANKYOU...LUX. and. IVY...FOR THE CRAMPS, for being true and unique and sexy and for the GREAT MUSIC that YOU shared to those that understood you,,XXXX

[hellnowrobert]

Mick jagger meets Vincent Price. Absolutley nothing like them in 79 when i first heard them, genius, perfect cooking of genres, just everything they said they were.

x

[UglyMannheim]

Rest in peace Lux. My heart goes out to Ivy. Thank you for the music and for turning me on to the bands that inspired you.

[Bikage21]

My thoughts go out to Ivy and the rest of Lux's family

[cowboymine]

love you forever lux, i wouldn't be my sick and twisted ole self without you....

[traciecatt]

So long Lux, you have given me over 20 years of the best music I have ever heard and there will never be another you. You were unique right up to the end.

Will miss you, Rest in Peace buddy. Much love to Ivy.....

[tetsuo70]

Cramps frontman Lux Interior died Wednesday at a Glendale, Calif., hospital as the result of a pre-existing heart condition, the band's publicist confirmed to Billboard. He was 52. DEAR LUX, R.I.P......LENINGRAD CRYING.....

[WerewolfMorgue]

52? Other reports said 60. Weird.

[slagit]

Man here I am listening to Cramps tunes and I just learned Lux has passed on...too eerie...

[bayernfan1960]

Saw The Cramps in 1983 at a club right around the corner from the Diplomat Hotel in Chicago, just off Belmont and Sheffield. Can't for the life of me remember the name of hte club. Also saw The Three O'Clock there about the same time. I remember the lead guy (mike quercio) yelling "you're a FAGGOT!!" at some heckler there.

Good times.

Nine Nine Nine at some rural dive in Northwest Indiana, The Stranglers in Cincy,.... these vids sure do bring back memories.

[OSLAINTE123]

My biggest regret was not seeing them at the Clubfoot in the 87 -88

[baconbap]

Sweet Hoof

ma fav group from mee teens....got mate to paint The Cramps on my schoolbag and then The Gun Club on other...great days

[garagebandsrule]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze tour Toronto again!!!

[lollooba]

SMOOTH...PASS THE 'SHROOMS...

[awesomeman09]

damn this band sucks...someone buy these ass holes a chromatic tuner and a metronome

[Salindil]

Go back to listening to Celine Dion, jackass.

[mallaryduck]

shit off

[sonicjay007]

the magic,the fury,"THE CRAMPS"~~~

[CesarMarciano]

WONDERFUL!!!!!

[taktsouk]

SOMETIMES I NEED THIS!!!

P.S FAVORITE

[tkohl]

The logical evolution of late 50's Hasil Adkins. They recorded "She Said", after all..

[Plecoman]

Fuckin Awesome ,you gotta play this shit reeel loud

[befuddledman]

it doesnt get any better than this

[chunk1969]

when i saw them at the trobadour with about 100 people around 1980, i sat in the front row ...right under IVY, who was wearing the shortest, tightest,mini-skirt....and as they played one of the best sets i'd heard in a long long time,,,the whole time i was staring,staring,, hypnotized by her legs and red panties..i nearly drooled myself to death..IVY i love you.

[iamatwat]

No offence Zor but not sure thats little known....but maybe thats my age...The Cramps ARE the best band on the planet and its about time they stopped taking Es and LSD in the Hollywood hills and came and played live again...check out the "Tear it up" posting from Oslo 2006 when Luxy was a mere 61yo!

[Zorqueozwald]

Little known fact, The Cramps basically invented psychobilly before The Meteors even did it, but Bryan Gregory's guitar style actually helped to influence and create shoegaze as well. The Cramps are one of the greatest bands of all time, I hope they're around a lot longer.

[drsynband]

the info about shoegaze is.. well maybe true to a extent but well... not much.

[anapoles]

Brian Gregory was bad ass mother.

[callingUdown]

you said it love..

[mykedaddy]

Minde-bending tune! Seems to have a little dual-meaning subjectwise. Sometimes seems to mean an occupational sanitation worker steming the tide of material refuse ( "I'm just what you need when you'r down in the dunes" "So stick out you'r can" not to mention the sound of a garbage truck ), where other times it seems to be about a drug dealer ( "Get out of you'r minde or get out of my way" "I cant lose with the stuff I use" ). Just seems to alternate between the two definitions! Realy cool!

[blaggh]

Plus... "stick out your can" ...can meaning arse.

[MothraBlues]

Ah...that's "...down in the dumps", not "dunes". This is the 6th greatest song ever writt, btw...

[84211805]

I love this band, I've managed to see em a few times too in the 80's and Lux is crazy, he puts 210% effort into the live shows.

It would have been great if Pixar could have fitted this into there Wall-e film though, would have jazzed it up no end.

[Menace1979]

WE have a good taste!

[peruvianbeatle]

I heard that what they play is 'Psychobilly'.

[mentlllet]

yes they do

but they are too punk to be "categorized" psychobilly

some say it is revivalism for old country or rock'n'roll

[theboomer61]

This was their best lineup but Bryan Gregory was just too fucked up to keep it going. Still great, worked about 6 of their concerts and in one Lux actually finished the show naked. Too bad it wasn't Ivy!!

[marvinlondon73]

Nothing but nothing of this wit and originality exists nowadays. This is as fresh now as it was when it was released more than two decades ago !

[mrbinga]

wow, i have never seen this. great video!  also a very underrated punk band...

[agingstoner]

If I remember correctly, this had quite a bit of airplay on MTV back in the old days when they actually had music on the "Music Television" channel.

[CPDandMe]

Still my favourite band, stay sick.

[iamsniffer]

too good to be true

[candydeluxivy]

Love Ivy's pants! Also great in a miniskirt!

[meggie1959]

This is my favorite song from the Cramps! Throw it on the ground!

[thesillywabbit1349]

hell!.. these people scare me... and i'm scary!

[rnewport]

The Cramps played sunset junction last year. There is a lot of great new music if you go see local bands. You just can't rely on mainstream media anymore.

[sonicjay007]

why nothing as good these days???

[agingstoner]

Because Clear Channel (who controls all of the radio stations in the country) and Fox (who dispenses American Idol) have brainwashed American youth into thinking the nice, safe sludge they purvey is "music".

[sonicjay007]

good point!we have the same sort of problems here in the uk also apart from 1 radio station 'bbc 6 music' digital and live online 24 hrs fantastic it is the breakfast show alone can play 'the cramps',syd barratt,gun club,etc!now thats what i call 'wake up music'!

[LUXIVYFAN]

True True True F*** Clear Channel

[Coyoteboy12]

Genius. Nothing short of genius

[jessicainnit]

fucking love them. end of.

[mozzaisking25]

Who could not love the Cramps!?!?

Fucking excellent!!!

[Bikage21]

Why are Madonna and Van Halen in the Rock N Roll hall of Fame and these guys aren't?

[keagankeagankeagan]

They are actually...

[agingstoner]

Actually, they are not. At least, according to the HOF website.

[Scabrinastep]

i wanted to be poison ivy so bad...

still do!!

[Tomincasd]

Wow this band takes me back, seen these guys at the California Theater in the late 80's. The Cramps Rock!

[iwasateenageshutdown]

If you consider yourself a garage/punk fan and don't hold your candle to the altar of the Cramps... you're a soul lost in limbo. Testify, brothers!

[midnightaria]

amen i like the noisy fuzz guitar added to her excellent rhythm

[midnightaria]

THE BEST and THE LYRICS ARE GREAT!!!!

[0BlackSeptember0]

The Cramps Rok!!!! Thanks for posting this one !

Devin of BlackSeptember

[modemrider138]

Heroin

[puddinass]

Ilove poison Ivy

[BetteDillinger]

I think some are romanticizing the past; The Cramps were "understood" (pun intended) by a minority. "One half hillbilly the other half punk" ain't and didn't resonate with the average person in the 80s. The era of Michael Jackson and Madonna. The Cramps were a breath of fresh air then, and they still are due in part to their relative obscurity. So, I still think only the musically open minded "understand" .....and it's nice to see that some people are discovering them. Long live the Cramps!

[TQMusic]

That first Guitarist They had, Brian Gregory played some of the Greatest Noise I've ever heard. 'Songs The Lord Taught Us' one of the Greatest Rock n Roll Albums of ALL TIME)))t

[twb176]

The Cramps have got to be the most underrated band of the entire original punk era.They absolutely rocked their farking asses off and sounded like absolutely nobody else in that entire scene. Plus they did as much or more than anybody to start off the rockabilly and garage rock revivals.

IMO, Gravest Hits and Songs the Lord Taught Us have held up a LOT better than a lot of more acclaimed albums from that same time have.

[twb176]

Bryan may not have been the greatest player from a technical standpoint, but he did exactly what was needed. Without bass you gotta have something to fill up space, and Bryan's wall of fuzz did the job great.Plus he really did have an amazing presence. They lost a LOT after he left, and while they still put out some great shit, they never equaled those first two records, IMO.

Some people don't get that not every band calls for an Allan Holdsworth or a Steve Vai.

[ekomsweed]

This video makes me sad and happy at the same time.Sad,cause most people nowadays wont ever understand this great band and music.Most artists now appear to have this handbook on what to do and what not to do to be a great artists,music is for escaping your troubles and let loose no matter how weird it comes out.And I think the cramps enbodies all that freedom in music ,wich todays music lacks a lot of.And finally im happy cause the cramps did exist.

[theVOIDOID]

totally and utterlly agree.

[labambawatusi]

Lux looks like Frankenstein
