The Cramps Lux Interior and Poison Ivy talk to Eric Blair @ The 2004 Hootenanny

[CuteCatFaith]

I was present in Miriam Linna's room when they recruited her as their drummer and she gave up her grad studies and I thought it was shitty what they did to her.

[HarveyPriceFTW]

one of the best bands ever RIP Lux & Good Luck Ivy

[SisterToSleepx]

The two of them were really amazing people. My heart and thoughts go out to Ivy.

[FiftyfourhundredWatt]

Thank you for the music that you gave the world.

[william3231954]

[audiotrax2000]

They seem like such nice, decent people that anyone would love to have for friends. My heart goes out to Ivy. Hope she is doing all right.

[MmeLEnfer]

@audiotrax2000 Yes, yes they do. I hope she is going as well as she can.

[ZLUGGO]

[GrahamAW2001]

I saw them at this fucking Hootenanny, and I was at the next one. Long live fucking Lux most underrated performer of all time

[chrischargethesick]

[showdejimbo]

Lux interior ! 

[bloodfreak138]

Lux Interior and Poison Ivy: The coolest and most kick ass couple in rock 'n' roll.

[6747654]

Why didn't i know about the cramps in 04 why D: ugh im so sad i missed this RIP Lux <33

[INITIALSJE]

To Lux..

[discjockeyOk]

Lovely CRAMPS .......never forget

[Habukberht]

Correction, the band in the background IS Reverend Horton Heat.

[Habukberht]

I think the band in the background is Reverend Horton Heat.

[Skulldini]

Have they ever thought of having children? .. Well I'd say the wild music they'd created together was THEIR offspring!

[Cin2215]

I can't stand it...I miss Lux badly...I miss the Cramps badly....shit.....

[FalcorsPhallus]

Thats totally Reverend Horton Heat playing "400 bucks" in the background towards the end of the video! Holy shit that is awesome. Just heard that song live a couple weeks ago.

[tommiisan]

Show 'em your panties.

[mondocaneman]

Thank you for the posting! I miss Lux! R.I.P

[Rhoneyem]

Such lovely people :-)

Really felt for Ivy when the guy asks if they have a family

and Lux gives her a hug.

They were/are such a great band, real one-offs.

[Skeletonwitharaygun]

"We're vampires"

LMAO What a badass.

[nihilpunk13]

Rocking it up on another moon now, peace Lux

[Arickhal]

The host is what americans would call a "douche"

[ricardoguerra666]

lux was cool

[Chudhole]

Lux is hilarious.

[pinz2022]

"I promised them I wouldn't pull it out". Hee! Hee! Were those two ever in any kind of trouble in their entire careers? I don't think so. No drugs, DWI's, guns, domestic violence, they didn't have an anti-social bone in their bodies.

[jamMatther]

i am scared by the depraved, disgusting things i would do to see them play. goddamn it.

[Jewclops]

@jamMatther haha dude i did c them, and it was at that show too :) man they were good

[ravynkat]

i believe that is the REV playing in the background. long live the cramps!!!

[xxIreneCaffeine]

I am seriously so jealous that you got to do this interview. Must have been a great time.

[chubbycheeks2]

Ha ha, "can you hear that bass" "whaaat?"

[81MUNSTER]

The Best rock and roll Thrashabilly ever! wish I was at those Hootenanny's! Love the cramps! R.I.P. LUX Greatest performer ever!

[santanaincubus]

Lux and Ivy seem very humble and they seem like really good people offstage. Lux is a Rock Legend, Rock God. RIP.

[Atlantaminuteman]

I am just sick about this ! I had no idea that Lux had died ! I am so glad I get to see the cramps live. God bless Lux !

[wisesatyr72]

Lux will be truly missed..Poison Ivy is still hot

[legrandmonarque]

They didn't have kids, maybe, but their music, to me, is just like their offspring. We, their fans will carry on their legacy... RIP lux...

[chubbycheeks2]

Granny panties, Ivy is the queen. Period

[danthegreaser71]

I got to meet Lux and Ivy once, They were the nicest people you would ever want to meet! Its sad that Lux passed away He will be missed. There will never another band like the Cramps.

[Sparrow1138]

20 years ago my husband and I went to the Cramps on our first date. Love them, R.I.P Lux, peace to you Ivy

[MmeLEnfer]

That just has got to be the perfect start to a marriage <3

[gollum6665]

when did he pass away?

[MmeLEnfer]

Feb 4, 2009. A Fucking tragedy.

[samythekay]

I love the cute way lux and ivy looks, i mean this amazing band was built on this beautiful love story, full of monster of rock"n"roll....i wish i could live such a story.... RIP Lux, and i hope Ivy's doing well...

[MmeLEnfer]

Amen to that, sam. You said it.

[Sgurd]

RIP Lux Interior

I nearly cried when I heard the news because I knew I'd never get to see The Cramps live in person and they're by far one of my favorite bands.

[MmeLEnfer]

I didn't know what I was missing then, but I cried last 4th for him now that I've learned.

[DiamondSoul]

"I promised 'em I wouldn't pull it out" LOL

[MmeLEnfer]

Lol I know, cracks me up every time

RIP Lux <3

[fietsframexyz]

They were never played on the radio overhere in the Netherlands and ignored by the commercial pop-press, nevertheless very very famous, we loved this band in Holland, Lux: you were a real great rocking rockabilly-artist, we miss you, even far away in Holland

[GLOatYT]

@fietsframexyz That bullshit, The Cramps were being played to death @VPRO radio

[fernandosagara]

The good die young, true. What about the fucking worse?

Btw, i just had an interview with Lux and he seems to be having a great time in hell and might come back middle 2010 to release their new album.

You guys really thought Lux "died"? C'mon, you fuckers, he's fucking Bettie Page in hell and you guys say "poor him"? C'mon, the guy deserves some vacations, you know? hahahaha. Lux, D.R.I.P.! (Don't Rest In Peace)

[AScoppa]

Happy Halloween Lux!!

[mosttiptoptopcat]

great people as well as great band. very friendly and engaging interview. thank you.

[mrjon75]

they seem cool and i LOVE the Cramps music. thanks for the smiles and true rock and roll! Lux lives on!

[mojimbox]

I saw them at the 98 Hootenanny. Lux threw the entire drum set into the audience. The Reverend Horton Heat comes out after and says, "How the hell am I gonna follow THAT???"

Also, Lux ripped off his body suit with Ivy's heel and was completely naked by the end of it.

WHAT A BAND! There is nothing like a Cramps show.

[mojimbox]

I miss Lux...

[nirvana99234]

they are awesome. seem really nice

[GLordMaximus]

Thank you so much for posting this - I don't think many people ever knew what tremendous senses of humor Lux and Ivy had.

[MmeLEnfer]

Why not? Their humour was in their songs too!

[tat2sncadillacs]

this is great. i remember this show. i was there.

[makeitadoubleyeah]

Thanks Eric

Interesting interview. I watched it all and its 8 minutes so you must've done something right. Engaging interviewee's helps.

[asterisktic]

They're sweet. When did Lux pass?

[murray1234567891011]

SUNGLASS'S AFTER DARK ddaaaadaaa AND YOULL BE KOOL lmao FUCKING LEGENDS LONG LIVE LUX stay sicckkkkkk

[MrMutatedboy]

its such a shame that cool talented people like lux and poison dont reproduce, on the other hand worthless fucks pop kids out every ten seconds like an Assembly line.

[zaskar14]

ha ha ha! well said! Too many pepsi-pop fuck-ups overpopulating the world whilst the good always seem to die young..

[svkEinard]

R.I.P. Lux

[ClashCityRockers0]

They look like a gorgeous pair of cartoon characters.

[UncleFexxer]

It kills me that I never got to see them live. RIP Lux... Viva la Cramps!

[GilbertSyndrome]

Tell me about it, i'm gutted. Great upload, i've never seen this interview.

[fez41]

Loved the cramps for the sheer thrill live, the comedy and all round papa oooh mow mow. RIP Lux.

[nooroloyia]

thanks for posting ... an amazing couple!

[vanuaturocks]

Lux got better with age RIP

[almamatters2471]

anyone have any video of The Famous Monsters opening for the Cramps in 99?!!!

[elaineezy]

RIP LUX!

[thewolfspeaks]

Oh man,this is so good. Never knew Ivy was such a fragile china doll. You can see how much they luv one another. Thanx again, mint

[gorblimey61]

If you watch the other interview where Ivy threatens to rip the interviewer's head off you might not think she's so fragile.

[livingdeadpunk138]

Well, like a lot of people've said, why couldn't it have been someone like 50 Cent of Justin Timberlake?

R.I.P. Lux

[VoodooCramps]

He'll be back.

[jiffcat]

deep within the la brea tar pit something stirs, what is lost will return.

[ClashCityRockers0]

He better be!

[GLOatYT]

@livingdeadpunk138 Hey, do you realize there's people that love The Cramps AND 50 Cent & Justin T?

[xreddragonx]

@GLOatYT Do you realize those people would be BIG morons? And I mean HUGE ones? Yea I said it, go have a cry about my "close-mindedness", I won't give a shit. Enjoying both The Cramps and 50 Cent is like enjoying pee with your salad.

[lksjgdfkjgsdkgi]

@livingdeadpunk138

Cheers to that

[57GuitarSlinger]

she rocks my world!

Hot HOT HOT

Missin Lux

sad day for music

[stugats1]

Lux never took himself so serious. RIP brother

[Switchblademsi]

i miss lux the king of phycobilly

[microscepter]

fuck, fuck FUCK!!! I am starting to think that Lux is chilling right now in hiding and will come back and suprise the world with the best, bladder blasting, hot rod racing, no shot chasing, guitar smashing, rocket riding, Goo Goo biting ROCK CONCERT EVER! And if not, rest in peaces Mr. Elvis Fucking Christ himself, LUX!!!! And, oh yea, I still love you to Poison Ivy Rorschach..

[gorblimey61]

Cowshit I know? What a hoot! Not really diggin' the Julie Newmar look, but Ivy's the best. R.I.P. Lux.

[wwxoxww]

[thedudeabides2010]

why couldn't it have been green day or avril or the white stripes or any number of other bands....RIP LUX!!!! this still sux balz that the mad daddies finally left his rockin' bones behind !! DAMNIT !!!!!!!!!

[findlaybears]

100 percent, damn right! Thanx.....love from cheektowaga swamps

[stankler]

ivy sounds like roseanne barr

[markawa]

"We're vampires,so we played one 35 years ago" - I somewhat wish that was true and he'd still be with us.Miss you Lux,

[cultureshock29]

I'm repeating others, but great stuff--i hate knowing I'll never get to see them again live in this lifetime

[OptimusPrimus001]

They are Ageless!

[videofyles]

nothing has changed,

you know these people never die.

[WillFierce]

Lux, not to be mean, but he sounds a little like dude from silence of the lambs

Precious!

[ClashCityRockers0]

Lux is so Alive... he seems unable to contain a devilish glee and it shows in every expression and movement. How in the hell can he be dead?? I don't understand...

[admanphoto]

Why Lux? So many shitty bands out there that could have taken a hit instead. My heart goes out to Poison Ivy.

Excellent video. Some good questions asked.

[Luvdemon]

Great stuff. Thanks for posting.

[broilet]

Why Lux and not Liam Gallagher or one of those twats. This world is quite boring.

[bangtwister]

Hey thanks so much for posting this. I nearly had a tear in my eye! Such cool people..........maybe there is some unreleased stuff still to come out in the future. Shame they never got round to doing more with their website. RIP Lux. Your welcome to check out my Cramps uploads. :)

[WizardOLivonia]

Nice interview. Lux was a really cool guy and it was a pleasure seeing Ivy so engaged too. It's the passing of an era. Thanks for posting this!

[berntboogie]

COOL!!! I like :-)

[Razzlesnaps]

lux was a awesome person r.i.p.

[cultpunk]

Wow, I saw them around this time and wondered about Lux's teeth. This is the only interview, etc., I have found on the net where anyone asks Lux about them - thanks for doing that. The gold teeth with the red wine - frightening.

[iamatwat]

thanks v much for this. still crying, hope ur ok ivy x

[EcstaticMomentz]

This was great! I never heard the Cramps Interviewed. Their insight was enlightening as the longevity of their fanbase is indicative of their industry strength. Eric Blair always asks just enough to be interesting without being intrusive. Awesome! ThankS!

[madmaddaddy]

very nice. love ivy sunglasses looks like fly eyes . r.i.p lux

[candydeluxivy]

Thanks for sharing this!

[danzigisjebus]

Kooo..
