[RockinProff]

A wonderful reminder of when the God Monster walked amongst us

[ta2fiend]

gotta love Lux and Ivy!

[WizardOLivonia]

Pretty sure this was on a late night MTV Halloween special.

[lakeviewviking]

@WizardOLivonia This was on MTV's The Cutting Edge, introducing the video for Garbageman

[fasbinder62]

Bit of a rant there Diddywahdaddy, apparently some of the pioneers of rock n roll and country music also led less than blameless lives.

[138mrmartyb]

creepy and cool, just the way i like em.

[ProgrammedForDamage]

No one did it like Lux.

[0000song0000]

when was this? (what year?)

Stay Sick!

Lux was the one who turn rockabilly in something more savage!

Psychobilly...

that was his contribution to our world...

Thanks Lux

[MmeLEnfer]

And what a contribution!

[lemonsqueezermunich]

they used the term in1976 but they did not like what Psychobilly became.. just read the interviews! they did say about it: Lux: "Psychobilly today doesn't really have a groove. It's as if (the bands) are tryin' to make their quota in the factory. It doesn't seem sexual to me.." they did saw them self as a blues Band!

[MmeLEnfer]

"If that don't work with 'em, then you go for the sex. This ALWAYS works with EVERYONE!"

LOL

RIP Lux <3

[piratejenny66]

Rest in Pieces Lux - will be thinking of you on this day of the dead...

[dcarr84]

What was the next thing that followed this intro ? A scary movie maybe ? Does any one know?

[pietrobembo]

@dcarr84, this was followed by their video for garbage man; the one were they play in a graveyard.

[pietrobembo]

@pietrobembo *where* Damn this crappy keyboard, I've made myself look illiterate!

[marlanembutol]

I'm Italian,I don't understand what he's talking about...help me,please!

[MmeLEnfer]

I can't translate it, but if you want I can write it down if it's easier to read.

[MmeLEnfer]

Oh man, I've got the blues. I'm still feeling the shock of his death. What a terrible october this will be...

Rest in pieces, Lux love. Stay Sick ~ Turn Blue!

[aaarrrggghhhh]

I remember seeing The Cramps at the Hammersmith Palais, in London, long long ago. Lux climbed the speaker stack and started ripping the ceiling down. RIP Lux.

R.I.P. Lux Interior. We Love and Miss u.

[megbury]

It reminds me of when Lux was on another Halloween special on USA Network's late-night show that Peter Zaremba (of the Fleshtones) hosted, in which Lux urged, "Why give 'em something that'll rot their teeth, when you can give 'em something that'll rot their minds?! LUX LIVES!

[diddywahdaddy]

Incredible stuff. And most certainly, as it happens to be; the 96 tears do drip from my 96 eyes. I'm knocked out depressed about his leaving too early. It's too hard to cope with. If somebody has to die ever, why not Phil Collins? Celine Dion?? Or any goddamn rapper who defends being a lowdown criminal is "cool", wearing junk twice his own weight, thinking he's hot shit, treating women like whores- AND strangely get away with it?? AND being a "hero" to kids?!

[genuck]

amen

[goofygoat2009]

@diddywahdaddy well put.

[solidturd666]

where the hell was this from?

[ZigZagWanderer]

He'll be sadly missed...
