MC5 Kick out the jams Live at the 100 Club

[DeeDonner]

in 1968 MF were words that no one spoke...to annouce a song with those naughty syllables was seditionous...Long Live free speech ..left and right.

[johnknoefler]

The best version in my opinion was the one used for the movie "Talk Hard" If that was even the title of the movie.

[YeshuaISMessiah1]

mvonwahide,i agree with your statement.

The MC5 is True Heavy Rock.

played loud. played hard. and with conviction.

[TOBERT001]

I reckon Rob Tyner would have loved this.

[taijiartrock]

Yip! We were there and it was just AWWWSOME!!! Cult.

[wildnites558]

I always hear or read that the MC5 was "proto-punk". They did play real fast sometimes but these guys were just hippie rebel types. They just wanted to be hard rockin' bad-asses. If you listen to some of Kamers earlier guitar leads, I think he was going more for bluesy, hendrix - clapton (cream) type sound rather than just simple garage thrashing ala "The Seeds" or "Thirteenth Floor Elevator".

[TOBERT001]

@wildnites558 "Simple garage thrashing" to describe The Elevators ? ARE YOU DEAF ? Have you never heard "Easter Everywhere" ?

[RayManzarekGod]

Wayne Kramer does the battle call? And wow they still have it!

[TheStrangebabe]

Motivational song of the day..every conversation Ive had lately has started with the words Kick out the jams....of course no one has had a clue wot Im on about ....waiting for the day when someone answers ...motherfuckers!!! then I'll know Ive found my soulmate!

[carltonsurrey]

Ian astbury looks as though he plans every moment on stage before it happens....I truly believe he is an overated singer and performer...If you want to hear someone alive who sings this song from the heart, please see Mark Arm from mudhoney....thank you

[briandebbie288]

Nobody fucking cares about that shit-this is WAYNE FUCKING KRAMER!!!!!!!!!!!

[JOKAMAJA]

If MC5 was the birth of American Punk .....Then they should agree with me that the assholes in the American government are cowards and pandering pukes. Pelosi, Reid, Swartzeneggar, AL FRANKEN????

We are fucked....

[kurtizzyflush]

@JOKAMAJA And your statement has relevance to a music video because.........?

[ManyGodz]

HOT SHIT ! That Ian gets all the cool gigs!

[packysomerville]

You young ones should read about them and the 1968 national democratic convention. Only band with balls that day!

[briandebbie288]

I'm 61 & so fucking jaded about rock'n'roll theses days...then I hear this &

I just wanna tear it up and smash the shit out of something...thank the hard-rockin' gods for Detroit and the MC5!!!!! Thanks Youtube & zynsk!

[hansys49]

Hi Pal, I am 60 and this is really good. Have been myself to 100 club - went there from Sweden this summer.

[briandebbie288]

Hard-rockin' hello,man!You've been there?Cool!There just weren't many who rocked harder than The 5!! Great to see Wayne carrying the Torch well into this new millenium!

[chuxbassfreak]

OMG!

MC5 - rocks!!!

Ian Astbury - perfect voice

[hansys49]

Hi fellow61! Also wish I'd been there. Jolly good band!!! 100 club where they play is something of a club!

[joemysteryguitar]

Punk,? Metal? Chuck Berry? Only Chuck's name would have made sense to anyone when MC 5 broke in. That tells you how far ahead of the curve these guys actually were. All respect to the guys.

[chainrelease]

MC 5 are god, Ian Astbury is the voice of god - perfect.

[Deemann25]

They weren't really punk, put just like Iggy Pop& The Stooges and Alice Cooper, thay gave a massive kick to punk rock, they were the establishers of what we see as a punk-rock-song structure.

There wasn't even a thing called punk back in 1968, but they were the people who started it all!.. :)

[kurtizzyflush]

@Deemann25 Coorect. They got togehter on their own unlike the Sex Pistols who were the Monkees of punk, put together by McLaren.

[realLavsky]

Я прочитал книгу "Please kill me!"

MC5 одни из её героев.

Это круто!

Это реально круто, сейчас такого уже нет.

И не будет.

Times never goes back.

[xbxbear]

THAT'S the way it should be done MFs! Old skool rules! Every time I here this jam I start bouncing around my livingroom wanting to break stuff and hug my bro or gal.... Man, that' sgreat stuff!!! Thanks!

[1heldaccountable]

i fucking love this song

[RamonePinhead]

Looks like Danny Fields at 2:58.

[SOADfreak58]

MC5 are the most underrated band ever. RIP fred and rob.

[mvonwahlde]

MC5 are not the most underrated band ever. They are rated supremely high by anybody who is not a complete idiot.

[krono965]

@mvonwahlde you're right I mean without them and the Velvet Underground there would be no punk.

[thelohners]

This song is listed in the top 100 metal songs of all time. MC5 ruled.

[TheAmazingAwesomeGuy]

unfortunate because they are punk and not metal. well, techniquely they arent either, but theyre more punk and are regarded higher in the punk world more than metal

[lizardqueen27]

One show I wish I was at!

[JimMorrisonsWidow]

Guy is fuckin' HOT!!! He ROCKS LIKE A BASTARD!!!!

[Deltidsharmonisk]

Nicke, what an underrated musician.

[galoids]

[codge2112]
