[PieceofMindmusic]

Can anyone tell me what guitar make Wayne is using here?

[jetrage69]

BESIDES, HE SINGLE HANDEDLY STARTED THE MC5

[jetrage69]

ROCK N ROLL WOULDNT HAVE BENEFITED IF THE MC5 WERENT AROUND, SO GIVE THEM THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE !

IN 2012, LET THE MC5 WIN AN AWARD MOTHER FUCKERS AND KICK OUT THE JAMS :)

[jetrage69]

[jetrage69]

[PeregrineTrousers]

Sings like a turkey

[texashsad]

Man, was I sleeping in 72? Never heard of this band....but, they are out of sight.

[patton303]

I always thought he sounded like Elmo on this song.... such a great pocket and groove on this tune...

[TorqueMaster23]

this is a more up-tempo version then the studio... and it sounds way more better

[F3deR1cO]

Messi on drums

[peonwarrior]

@F3deR1cO rofl

[hamsterbass123]

Neil Young on drums

[BillHicks420]

Wayne looks about 10 years older here than he really is :O

[gg6558]

"Without these guys there would be no Motorhead, no The Damned. They did it all first." -Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead

[whitbyjet65]

@gg6558 Lemmy's said that about quite a few bands.

[johnnymccrowe]

@whitbyjet65 yea he said the same thing about elvis, the beatles, buddy holly.........

[ejnolan77]

Not enough distortion, feedback or audience. These guys really came alive in front of a live audience. Talk about a wall of sound!!!

[ritter89]

Did Tyner have naturally kinky hair or is that a perm? I've never seen hair like that on a white man

[MrFuzzmen]

What a Falsettee papáááá!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[meteleskate]

@MrFuzzmen XD JAJAJAJA

[EDOM666DEVORE]

fuck the song is a ramblin rose

[tedmich]

Wayne was handsome, decent guitarist, great showman and a had a good voice, but it was the dope that stopped him in his tracks sadly. Its a pattern repeated over and over, play->cash->dope eventually just goes to cash->dope, then just dope-> wha happened?

[ejnolan77]

@tedmich Wayne Kramer and/or his roadie stole my beautiful Gibson Firebird guitar with three gold humbuckers at the Electric Circus in Suburban Detroit around 1975. I heard the roadie was a junkie who would steal anything. Man I miss that guitar. BTW Wayne Kramer is still around. Now doing music for TV as he is the Music supervisor for the Will Farell-produced EastBound and Down(hilarious) on HBO.

[thatfingio]

Wayne Kramers one cool fucker . He`d have mopped up in the late 70`s if he wasn`t in jail

[MrXastura]

1:07 ohhh sound from wayne is just priceless ..just amazing voice this bloke has got

[MishuTaste]

You don't need to fix your hair, just play the guitar!

[nonyafukkinbizniz]

Is Rob praying at the start of this?

[sickpoola]

[anablic]

I really wish brother JC's INTRO was on this --- It's on the ALBUM - but I can't SHARE the damn album on-line.....

[pistolpete0500]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I CAN SING THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THIS FUCKING SONG! Who would be interested in hearing a cover of this at some point? hhahahha.

[Exxtragold]

Brother Wayne Kramer!

[xf8b1]

I must say, coming from a heterosexual male, that Rob's hair is beautiful. it is very appropriate for the era.

[kynoceph]

I want a red microphone.

[bsufilms]

[lusi8467]

[rickfarnsley]

[helikestv]

[Dunkzzz95]

[fishybishbash]

Goddamn what a sound

[majorhoop]

ive loved this band ever since kick out the jams came out & am actually glad & they should be proud that they are not in that farce they call the rock & roll hall of fame but......

this is not the mc5 at the top of their game. heroin destroyed this band, & you can see it in this video. watch the wayne state live stuff on youtube----classic.......

[fangunsnroses]

1:47 dennis thompson is MESSI!!!! JAJAJA!

[Dunkzzz95]

Now that is rock n'roll

[fenix478]

[unknownm0f0]

W T F this is cool

[NexsyWhite]

I think Axl Rose totally stole this guy's moves.

[palmerstonian]

I love this more than life itself...BUT...can we get the sound ion sync somehow? Sorry to be a pain, but U-Tube is a bugger for this. Fab post, anyway!

[felipejustin]

start: 1:10

[NecroWhore]

God, this sounds like it's in slow motion after hearing the live version.

[LouieGee]

@NecroWhore This is live too.

[IDontUsePicks]

I love mc5 but fuck the confederacy :/

[zosothedestroyer]

@IDontUsePicks haha they started the white panthers, i doubt they were big on the confederacy. They were prob the blackest white dudes to walk this earth

[gamblers13]

How cool for the singer to sing back up! You don't see that to often.

[DrHogfan]

..." a diamond ring & a cad...il..lac car !"

[johnnymccrowe]

Anyone who gets the chance should read "please kill me" Wayne kramer is one bad motherfucker

[steelryder1]

FUCK THE H.O.F

[ragingbull888]

[karrazaki89]

[Mischi666]

The screw of the cymbal stand turned loose completely during this song. look at 1:23 and then at 2:42

[holdenroberto]

true american rock

[ledzeprulz1234]

maaaaaaaaaaan, why did I discover these guys just now? :(

[waynealarsen]

Great MC-5 !!!! this Beat club stuff, the bass player in new. I guess Tyner would g

quit them soon. this is a some late stuff. I saw Wayne Kramer at the Fastlane in Asbury Park in 1980, he played all the songs you WANTED to hear!!!! with only a handful of people in the club he came out, 3 piece, and just MURDERED IT!!!!!

[robotchicken25]

there is a god, his name is wayne Kramer.

[Hister333]

@robotchicken25 Amen, brother.

[draypowers]

@robotchicken25 DENNIS THOMPSON! It's like that drum kit owes him MONEY!

[BuddyBooG]

simply the best!

[metalmassacre123]

el baterista se parece a messi

[Equilombo]

@metalmassacre123 es verdad ajajajajjajaja

[cinedeguerrilla]

PURE ROCK'N'ROLL BEING DETROITED!!!

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Everyone always says these guys invented punk or they were the first punk band, or the Ramones got inspiration from them and Iggy, but it's all bullshit. The Who were THE very first punk band, no if ands or buts about it!!! Every band that has ever called themselves punk has been a direct ripoff of The Who. Nirvana made that quite blatantly clear when they regularly smashed their instruments, and blatantly ripped off Townsends style of writing.

[VoodooFlintstone]

@JamesTKirkCobain You're an idiot.

[boygalak]

nowadays its the mars volta .....

[saidtaibi]

a white guy with an afro and a sparkle jacket... you are either insane or you have the 'ting'.... they are American, but have that British working class look of 'come an' 'ave some if you're a'rd enough'.... feel it baby, feel it...

[LastTree]

Umm, like this is Rock n Roll..the way it's supposed to be.

[MiGrm9]

Damn sounds like some ac/dc in the beginning.

[23445545665]

i want to play the guitar like him!!

what should i practice?!?

[RayManzarekGod]

@23445545665 Detroit Rock! The Stooges, Frijid Pink!

[alastairdelangel]

Mexico City has their own Psycodelic Rock Band, About Drums, higher Guitars and actitude, have just recorded their first record at 4:20 studio, come and join us at myspace/risinsunband

[pfordsq]

Thank you for putting this stuff up. Like most people , I would imagine , I did'nt know they did anything other than "Kick out The Jams" on this Beat Club taping.....

But I still think it's"I'm searching for diamond rings and a Cadillac car"...Quien save?

[NoRosesForMe]

I swear Rob Tyner wore the best ,,,hottest,,,pants ever. So lovely. And BROTHA' Wayne looks beautiful here too. Wow. They always amaze me. I havent seen this before. Thank you so much Fritz.

[inhocster]

Ramblin Rose ... sounds more like Axel Rose. Bitchin' song though.

[StupidChicagoPunk]

so underrated

[Kelly14UK]

What kind of guitar's that? Thanks.

[ZackHuckins]

@Kelly14UK epiphone crestwood or wilshire both are the same except crestwood has hotter pickups (clone of sg) and wilshire more versatile imo

[RayManzarekGod]

@ZackHuckins I think his was a Wilshire... I actually saw Bob Dylan a few days ago and for 1 song his Guitar player had a Wilshire.

[davidh2136]

Are You ready to Testify??

[krankiekat]

One of the greatest bands I ever saw live....in the early 70's...! and they still are one of my all time favorite bands up there with the kinks and the Ramones!

[BobTheRecordGuy]

The original Ramblin' Rose is by Ted Taylor, longtime soul R&B vocalist. It was also released by another 60s garage band circa 1966. My guess is they got it from Ted Taylor as the vocal sounds like his.

[BobTheRecordGuy]

My question is, what was the purpose for this here series? Beat Club was usually on a stage, with a live audience dancing and consisted of three songs (in the 60s anyway). Seems to be almost a whole concert in this live-in-the-studio series.

[BobTheRecordGuy]

They had been using these guitars for awhile, Marshall stacks too, but the Orange amps are not part of their usual setup. They were the house amps for the BeatClub stage, they appear in every BC performance going back to mid-60s (look em up, killer performances by Small Faces, Creation, Spencer Davis, The Move & more). Also in a different MC5 BC performance from same period where they do a completely different (in every way) Kick Out The Jams to the one in this series.

[PabloZadar01]

Fucking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cgleonard]

Could the two children please exit stage right? The adults want control of this page

[kewlfonz]

@cgleonard No! Kids are anarchists... Anarchy in the UK and the USA

[cgleonard]

Could the two children please exit stage right?

[crackersjenkins]

[ozulu45]

THIS IS A VARIATION BLUES PLAIN AND SIMPLE! ANY IDIOT THAT SAYS THIS IS EARLY PUNK IS A CYBER SHITHEAD! DO YOUR RESEARCH ON MUSIC PERIOD! BEFORE YOU MAKE AN ASS OUT OF YOURSELF FOR EVERYONE TO VIEW YOUR PURE STUPIDITY!!

[crc778Hypnodoc]

What a bunch of pretentous plonkers

[ozulu45]

@crc778Hypnodoc go stick a dildo up your ass! if you havent already BITCH!

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@ozulu45 If I wasn't on such a superior intelligence and vocabulary level than you, I might be tempted to descend to your gutter and indulge in your childish foul mouthed banter, but I won't, and anyway when I see such comments it reminds me how perfect I am. Enjoy your day now

[ozulu45]

@crc778Hypnodoc OHH SO THAT MEANS YOU CANT TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR ASS YET?? EH?? BUT USUALLY A BITCH IS A BITCH! SO I GUESS WHEN TALK LIKE ONE YOU ARE ONE?? SORRY MAYBE A TAMPON WOULD SUIT YOU BETTER!

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@ozulu45 Your inadequate command of the Ango Saxon language is only matched by your inability to operate the lower case function of your keyboard. Or perhaps thet only allow upper case in your asylum. Banter not with a master child

[ozulu45]

@crc778Hypnodoc SO DOES THAT MEAN YOU STILL USE A DILDO OR TAMPON SHE BITCH??

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@ozulu45 My Psychiatrist reckons that people like yourself are the result of in breeding among the lower classes, and your language and behaviour problems stem directly from poor parenting, discuss?

[ozulu45]

@crc778Hypnodoc hmmm... you must be still twirling that dildo in your ass? have you every taken it out and licked it?? what does it taste like?

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@ozulu45 I have heard that the lower classes are obsesd with tampons and dildos, it appears it's true, how quaint you are

[ozulu45]

@crc778Hypnodoc wow you must be really on the rag girlfriend! try a maxipad!

[crc778Hypnodoc]

DONT CRY!!

[crc778Hypnodoc]

@ozulu45 Sonny, I've eaten real bullies for breakfast and you are just a pathetic little coward with no style or substance. You're a nothing, you'll grow up a nothing and die as a nothing. You've only tried to pick on me because you assumed I'm a woman (wrongly) Now take your filthy Tampon fetish and shove it up where the sun don't shine, you are not worth wasting one more second of my time. Goodbye

[ozulu45]

I can't find it ANYWHERE :(

[shutdownthefed]

[evilfondue]

How cool are these guys?... none, none more cool...

[spadge321]

[darthmelbourne]

Lol@ Rob Tyner giving Wayne kramer a quick massage before playing.

[blinkisNOTEMO]

mc5 foreverrrrrrrrrr

[GuitarDreamer25]

Nice ending.!

[MrModori]

This is the epitome of Rock n' Roll.

[stevenlennon12]

what kind of guitar is the lead guitar player playing? love the neck on that thing

[67Mosrite]

@stevenlennon12 The guitar is an Epiphone Wilshire.

[danielgirard]

@stevenlennon12 It's an Epiphone solid body electric circa 1966. I know cause I used to own one. Also, at one time I was good friends with the drummer Dave Thompson, but that's another story.....

[stevenlennon12]

@danielgirard lets hear 1 good one

[stevenlennon12]

@danielgirard btw how did your old epiphone feel to play..i tried one of those john lennon inspired by casino and hated the feel..are there any gooid epiphone guitars out there in todays models

[metalmaniac1889]

Awesome! Love his voice! LOL!

[Substantive64]

0:56 Whoah - a CONFEDERATE flag sticker? On an MC5 amp? A band from Michigan - the NORTH?

[JamesonNdraught]

Put that in yer book beatch!

[ScotRanger1960]

Great Stuff

[hardyharhar9]

Awsome

[cookmoore]

Wow! Thank YOU!

[UncleLew]

FUCK YEAH!

[FatMetalFan]

esto es la escencia de lo real

[budmotor]

i lost my copy of ' Back to USA'

[gdubh]

shit-Goal!

[ghostfacedragon]

too slow

[thenameslaurence]

fuck. yeah.

[RamonesKaraoke]

I had no clue that Wayne Kramer sang this!

[EliRod003]

Does anyone know what guitar Wayne Kramer is playin?

[BadLoveExperience]

it is an Epiphone Wilshire,

amazing and cheap ;-)

[nameerf61]

@EliRod003 usually sonic plays mosrite and wayne stratocaster

[NewJerseyanMetalHead]

Hails to the godfathers of Punk

[stevenlennon12]

@NewJerseyanMetalHead thats not punk ..its closer to acid rock then punk.how do u hear punk in this

[UZIsuicide9111]

@stevenlennon12 this is one of the seeds of punk. the stooges were the first REAL punk band tho

[openeyes691]

@NewJerseyanMetalHead No punk here! Only HARD ROCK!

[NewJerseyanMetalHead]

@openeyes691 Oh no I wasn't implying that this song was punk, I was just saying that they were a seminal influence on punk.

[mightyvanwhalen]

jerry lee lewis' version of this song from 1961/62pre-dates the Ted Taylor version.

is there another version previous to JLL?

think JLL's version is my fave.

[cocknoose82]

true rock n roll GREAT

[BuStFaCe]

It is shame that they couldn't find the right producer that could translate what they did live into the studio.

[konkelberryfinn]

they didnt want it studio produced. The soul of Kick Out The Jams remains on a stage set, not in a studio. Which you can hear if youve listened to the CD :)

[BuStFaCe]

I wasn't specifically talking about the Kick out the Jams release, I was talking about them as recording artist. They had two studio releases and because of poor production and promotion they were not commercial successes, even if they were good songs live. I know K O T J is a live recording, and I have listened to it, I own a copy, so your assumption was incorrect.

[silmarillion23]

i wish people would stop calling people idiots on you tube its very tiresome all music is inspired by music that came before it , get over it!

[Reinisen]

Most bands who played Beat Club around this time blew everyone's minds; the sound of the recordings is just one thing...

[cooksontrains]

The mc5 also inspired Lemmy...Big frikin time!And you can hear it & see it.

[JonnyCashmore]

and this is very obviously inspired by Beatles.....that opening riff is very similar to Paperback Writer or Day Tripper.....
