@drunknifo a Rickenbacker 450/12 mapleglo strung as a 6 string

[roppie755]

I like tyner's "Michael Strahan Gap" in his teeth.

[royalslack]

That's not Michael Davis on bass.

[101misanthrope]

MC5 (blinking cursor) are beyond stunning...

[jrscroller]

The Tom Jones of punk.

[jrscroller]

Plain and simple KICK ASS MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

[tatethompson1234]

Rop Tyner was the soul of Punk/Garage/Rock n Roll

[tatethompson1234]

This is on BEAT Club you can tell from the Orange Amps and Mics

[bobbelibob]

@soundboy3115 People who are paying money for a gap must be retarded.

[kurtizzyflush]

Tyner had the best 'fro tower EVER! I think I see an elevator and a fire escape in it.

[savvas350]

[theboweryriots]

[spadge321]

[darthmelbourne]

Robert Tyner kicks out the jams! and that hair is epic!

[unclegroovedaddy]

Would someone please play over,and over?

[freqazoidiac]

NICE..so this is in europe?

it's cool! Fast compared to the old 67 version. The liquidity loses form at 1:50..is that why the video is so short?? thanks for sharing!

[WHEREtheFUNK]

Grandaddys of punk

[spadge321]

it was much more than that man , MC5 understood and loved the blues,, funk ,, hard rock,,the politics of their time,, race issues and big city corruption,, the Uk punk scene was three good bands and a gang of thick fucking morons following em,,

[DoctahHo]

@spadge321 im curious, what were the 3 good uk punk bands your thinking of?

[EliRod003]

What kind of guitar is Wayne Kramer playin?

Looks awsome! :)

[RamonePinhead]

@EliRod003

Epiphone Wilshire!

Look it up! =)

[Alembic25]

Check out the Epiphone website for the Wiltshire.. Fred Smith is playing some sort of Rickenbacker fitted with a Gibson PAF pickup. They used odd guitars. Smith usually played a Mosrite and Wayne Kramer usually had a Strat painted in the stars and stripes with a PAF in the mid position.

[hobonotboho]

sonic rules

[1994mickeyb]

damn straight he does!!!

[drunknifo]

[ZRN959]

[jamierourketen]

[Nicoguays]

this is mojo!!!

[putdownan8dude]

sucks to be the drummer sometimes... out there hanging like naked laundry!

[scoskitz]

@putdownan8dude

Yeah, well, this is usually a super-long song, and I think they were trying to squeeze it in, an ad-libbed compressed version, and they were just trying to wrap it up as soon as possible.

[haveagoodweek]

DIG THE AFRO

[ybravura]

You're right! That is Steve Moorhouse.

[ybravura]

This is from the late-period Five, when they hired an English bass player, the superb Derek Hughes. (Michael Davis was too strung-out on heroin to play.)

After that, the the greatest band of all time collapsed.

[NilezII]

That's Steev Moorehouse on bass.

[WinsterMoves]

Great quality upload! 'kin' genius...

[gorblimey61]

Tyner had better moves than the king of pop!

[PKPurvis]

Spacemen 3 modelled "Revolution" after this.

[syr1811]

HAHAHAHA - Just found out WTF Black to Comm actually means! Kinda-sorta almost makes Sonis's intro make perfect sense. LOL What a GREAT version this is - even with the Fuck-Up at the end. This is one of my all-time fav songs, period. Great share Fritz!

[boulderdamn]

Gonna drop the bomb, c'mon... this is black to comm!

[satalitesarespinning]

the end is a little abrupt but this is the best black to comm ever!!! Thanks for the upload

[syr1811]

Hey - satalitesarespinning - agree. Best version ever! That it's short 'cause they fucked up at the end just means I'll watch it a few more times! Ha Ha Ha

[frenzexperiment]

I like sonoc's face at the beginning..

" Blacktacaamm"

[MDoomernik]

@frenzexperiment

Yeah so funny! the way he blurts it out, cracks me up!

[Corruptop]

Haha, Tyner 1:48 , somebody fucked up...
