cudi1is3god is ABSOLUTELY correct. The MC5 functioned as a unit, not one or two hotdogs with back-up players. That happens only when those involved not only share the same vision, but have a dedicated work ethic---with any notions of anyone being "roosters" a joke. The Who (the original line-up) functioned in the same way. the results are obvious. Good of cudi1is3god to make this point.
I think what I love most about this video is that they are a REAL band. like no one is the real center of attention, but instead they all demonstrate how important they are to their sound. nowadays its usually 1 or 2 members that just show off the entire time. every band ive been in where we've broken off into just jamming the singer would be like "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT." and be mad that he didnt do much, but Rob Tyner just flows RIGHT into it with no problem.
@CosmicBeingMusic And his wish was granted. Damn kids have no idea what you're squawking about. MC5 are one of the precursory bands that played the stuff what became labeled as punk rock, ppfffttt.
I was intrigued. by what rollingstone said about MC5 when I was 14, so much so I stole the record. (Hey, Bob Dylan still has the Woody Guthrie records he borrowed w/o permission)
you know the feeling you get when you see that one of the top comments are in regards to some other comment from someone else, like it is up here, and you gotta go aaaaaall the way back and look for it to see what kinda bullshit this previous person wrote?? sucks. If youtube "updates" youtube again, they should change that, instead of always changin the damn design and shit.
Dude, Rob Tyner had the coolest jewfro in the history of rock...the man wasnt much to look at, but he had the pipes and the hair...we are all a little poorer without him in the world today....
@RussianDrummer92 They were indeed, my friend. I fucking love the Sonics. For some reason, the Pacific northwest USA in the mid-60s was home to some incredibly kickass bands - the Sonics, the Kingsmen, the Wailers...
@RussianDrummer92 Check out the Sonics, if you haven't already. Way more punk than the Velvet Underground, who were an art project pretending to be a rock band, and the Sonics were doing it in 1965, not 1968.
@RussianDrummer92 I find a kick to the balls to be most effective. Though, by the sound of it, your friends may not possess them. In that case, uppercut to the vag.
@RussianDrummer92 Amen. Raw Power was more punk than anything the Sex Pistols or Ramones ever did. The guitarist from Pistols even admits he learned to play guitar by playing along to Raw Power.
people often, quite rightly, ask why didnt they get bigger? cos they put that fucking advert in the paper that said "FUCK HUDSONS"...that lost them their deal with Elektra, and they were fucked from that point on...but they wouldnt be the MC MF 5 if it had a happy ending would it??? KOTJ B&S!!!
the 5 came and played in a lil o town called Indian lake oh .... after dealing with the riots and and the cops from 5 miles away tellin them to turn it down.. i can see why i have to love them ..
At that time (approx. 1970) German television was quite progressive with the "Beat Club". Thanks to "Beat Club" we have now a lot of such great videos.
I saw the MC5 in concert in the winter of 1969 at Hullabaloo in Newport News, Virginia. It was the first I heard of them there and loved them since. I now live in the suburb of Detroit since Dec1,2005.
@camerontungate Your right and whatsmore they were a huge influence on The Damned who are also one if not the most underrated band of all time.What is wrong large parts of the human race,are they deaf?
