MC5 Thunder Express

[formula602]

Rob kinda looks like Weird Al in this vid!

[tootone10]

Brother Wayne is my buddy--at 52 i will play all the MICHIGAN rock i can--like it or hate it i play this stuff every weekend--Brownsville-the Frost-Grand Funk-Seger-Nugent-and many others! Mc-5 is the baddest band that EVER came out of MICHIGAN! TCB

[goethicdesire]

Thank you mate for posting the song but isn't there any better louder version...I love the solo......

[pokbacsi100]

There are some much better Rockabilly converted into Hard Rock renditions of old Rock n' Roll tunes from Purp, Zep, Nugent, even Judas Priest and the Beatles did a good job with covering old Rock too, but Slade almost specialized in this kind of stuff. They did a bunch of them. MC-5 was better with their proto-Punk and Hard Blues stuff.

[oramikleepunk]

This tune sounds like a Chuck Berry song...

[PAULLONDEN]

Where are your pirouettes Wayne ?

Whell....that intensity is hard

to maintain man.

Understand./

[SOADfreak58]

damn...wish this video was better quality.

[rupertwanglefield]

Yeah something terrible happened to Mc5 around this point

[Babaretro222]

[bruno010101]

Well, if you're talking about the video... that's french, not spanish.

Hoo-wee!! My les paul and my orange ad-15 took it away, lots of fun!! Michigan Rocks!

[freezerkid1]

Did they ever play at Garden City Park in the summer of 67 or 68?

[deckape1956]

Very likely, the Grande Ballroom in Detroit was their popular giggin place.

[sixaxle]

Yes they did.

[vervemuse]

This is a prime example of outstanding underground music! RAAAW! Keep the true underground roots alive! Just say "NO" to Hollywood! Decentralize corporate rock NOW!

[deckape1956]

This is Detroit like it or not!

[prisongirlvideo]

[deckape1956]

mellamoriki- i am already there -- time to get down brothas and sisters!!

[diddywahdaddy]

I so sincerly wish that this whole show AND, last not least, A TRUE TESTIMONIAL-complete with all those nifty live bonuses etc that was supposed to be one mother of a DVD, will get an official release - NOW!!!!

[theonlytruepunk]

I have a copy...it is a prerelease. Incredible

[PAULLONDEN]

Nice...there's no more to say

[quundar]

One of the best guitar on Chuck Berry's style. Keith Richards should have join them guys in '72

[BullRonin]

Probably My favorite car song. This kicks the Beach Boys' little deuce coupe's ass.

[santeriaband]

"When I saw this video, I was like, "Thunder Express?! Niiiice.""....Really NICE

[spadge321]

rare shit man !!!

tiny / salford

[BoobyMcDoogle]

This sounds just like the version I downloaded. Just the sound quality is worse here. I guess the version you can download from iTunes or Limewire is this one.

[mellamoriki]

Join the MC5 army now.

[thebiket]

What an awesome song, performance...I have all the perfrmance in perfect audio, but a video! Groovy!

[leathercoatguy]

When I saw this video, I was like, "Thunder Express?! Niiiice."

[hoctor]

qui, qui baby, John Creem, Birmingham, MI, rockin and stoned too

[NilezII]

They somehow made thier best music when the band was on the verge of collapse.

[kantes]
