@rockandroller4ever6 ya living in Detroit Michigan was a trip during the late 1960s/ mc5 were out of ann harbor/ college town, where john sinclair had the 5th estate.(boring you zzz?)..underground > white panther party etc!!/ anyways peace out
out of all the UNDERGROUND GROUPS JEFFERSON AIRPLANE WITH THEIR "VOLENTEERS OF AMERICA" AND THE REST OF THE SO CALLED ANTI WAR MUSIC GROUPS...THIS GROUP IS THE ONLY ONES THAT HAD THE BALLS TO SHOW UP AT THE 1968 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION WHERE THERE WERE REAL "STREET FIGHTING MEN/WOMEN..NOT JUST LETS WRITE A SONG TO MAKE MONEY ABOUT REVOLUTION CAUSE THAT IS IN RIGHT NOW AND LET OUR AUDIANCE GET THEIR HEADS GET BEAT IN WHILE WE MAKE A TON OF MONEY OFF IT,!!!
@BigTymerPimp ....from a japanese imports' lyric sheet: "And presently, brothers and sisters, it is time for the kicking out of the fruit preserves"...
The 5 were very influenced by black music and you can clearly see that in Rob Tyners moves and the hair. I've got a very poor quality recording of 'em doing James Brown's "It a mans mans mans world" and it's genius.
The sad thing about the MC5 is the fact that there's so few recordings of them and this video is very welcome. As you can see here they were awesomely powerful and a pointer to a lot of cool bands.
@r4scuache fuck i just wrote that on another vid of this song.... i totally agree...its like he totally got heaps of his shit from this guy even the hair style
Get over the poor sound quality...like all of Robert Johnson's (or Charley Patton's, or Louis Armstrong's, or...) recordings are in Hi-Fi! Rob Tyner FUCKIN' RULES!!!
fuckign rite bud, tell it like it is, Your the first person Ive ever saw on youtube to make a Charley patton reference! right on bud!, ya this sounds great to my ears anyway nice and RAW!
Kramer is using a very hot Epiphone, Gibson budget guitar. My neighbor had one, and it was a very, very good insturment. Kramer is through the Orange Amp (very, very rare today), i believe. Sonic is on the Mosrite with a huge Fender, I think. The bass player is using a Marshall? Anyway you cut it, very, very good live sound.
These guys seriously deserve a good documentary! Being a Michigander, I am very proud to have grown up in a home where this kind of music was played! Long live their memory and influence!
I think they should make a feature length film about the MC5 Story. They could make it here! It would be a kickass flick, have local musicians playing the parts of the band members along with some famous actors. That would be a way to really put Detroit on the map for the film industry.
Dude, the people that matter know how influential the midwest was to rock, punk and soul. Ever great musician that has followed the MC5, James Gang, Stooges, and the gazzillion soul and R&B acts too, have creditted them as their influences. Personally, I like it better that the squares don't "get it." They'd never understand the full scope of what all those groups did anyway. It'd just be the yuppy buzz word for a year or so, until the next Lady Gaga CD came out.
People talk about the rock guitar -- but to me its the heavy/funky bass and drums that add so much. You can here the big soul/jazz influence. Great track.
Let's not forget The Seeds, MC5 used to play live w/them and I'm sure their records were in the MC5's collection. R.I.P Sky Saxon (1940-2009)...Sean Bonniwell is still alive and well in Los Angeles and still sings The Music Machine material...Check him out while you can...He still rocks!! Check out "Talk, Talk" by Music Machine on You Tube...Also check out "Trouble" by Music Machine...Very ahead of its time !!! 60's garage and freakbeat rule !! So does the MC5...Also check out The Dictators.
The MC5 are great. They were influenced by other earlier 60s garage punk bands like The Sonics, The Wailers, The Music Machine, The Trashmen...also...Chuck Berry, Soul, and avant garde jazz, etc. ...Check out "Talk, Talk" by The Music Machine. Very heavy and raw for 1966. These are the true roots of punk rock or outlaw rock n' roll...
MrDucktail, you bring up some good points here -- MC5 had many diverse influences, including free jazz greats like Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman. And thanks for reminding me about Music Machine. I agree that they wrote some excellent and creative garage rock songs. I'm going to have to check out their videos now.
If it were not for the MC5 and The Stooges, there would be no Black Sabbath!! Ozzy was a big fan of MC5, Blue Cheer, The Music Machine, The Sonics, etc., hence their heavy sound. U.S. RnR bands are much better than British bands...
in a way they were real unique,white,but black panther involved,and playin real heavey stuff with funky suits,...and a real radical manager,john sinclair,who got charged 2yrs for a joint,..but lennon and co got him freed,..!!!
true . but they were all 120 lbs and could not kick anyone's ass...except for mentally and philosophically. Detroit thrives on toughness but what made this great was the people behind the angst; the poetry.That's why you lost your girlfriend to guys like Iggy.
I totally agree with you. Same environment that Black Sabbath originated in England. That is why the music is so great! Badass stuff = MC5 and Black Sabbath.
I grew up just outside of Detroit. The music from here is great. However, I totally believe that the music from the cites of England was better. Bands like the MC5 and the Stooges were the best of this area, but not as good as Black Sabbath or Judas Priest. Just MHO.
That's a good point. However, I was speaking more in general quality of life terms. There are always exceptions like Watts, DNC '68 in Chicago, Detroit Riots, Selma, AL, etc.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They may have influenced the Stooges , The Ramones and The Clash but so what? This guy still looks like the illegitimate child of Fat Elvis & Gary Glitter while having a 3some with Liberace!
Can't remember what I wrote but it must've been funny coz TankMurdock said my post was EPIC. Unfortunately all u MOFOs here deleted my post.....don't believe in free speech eh? I find it so fuckin hilarious how one critical comment about a band can drive ppl so completely round the twist that they go frickin mental. Fanatics!!!!
After 3 mins got bored of waiting for the vocalist to start singing , what's the point of having a singer if he's just gonna grunt and make other assorted gutteral noises.
He looks like Gary Glitter met Elvis on the way to Liberace's place to go to Peanut Butter and banana deep fried sandwich heaven.
Hey man, in 1970 Gary Glitter and Elvis were cool a hell--plus MC5 influenced The Stooges, The Ramones, The Clash, and all those other bands that you wear on your t-shirts but never actually listened to.
Yup, my finger misplaced a letter and you saw it. In fact, you might be the only one who cares.
The fact that you are such a spelling whiz with nothing else to contribute to this thread, no insight to make on the conversation happening makes you infinitely superior to everyone. Do you drive around in a bulletproof limousine? You must get chased around by throngs of teenage girls when you leave the house.
I was under the impression that "cool a hell" was a new term being used, a new addition to an informal urban patois. it hadn't reached me yet, but good to know.
Yeah man fuck that shit were the kids were band Tshirts when they have never heard of the band there are heaps of kids wearing Ramones tshirts and have never heard of them.
@suburbanindie ooo iwas thinkning MC5 influenced the stooges, the second stooges funhouse completely different from the stooges first album and there are actually alot of similarities in the pace and riffage of the two albums and the last songs are both chaotic so i assume since same scene, area, label stooges took from the MC5 on the funhouse, still like funhouse better than kick out the jams tho; fave stooge album
Saw them live in Detroit in 1970 and they were a MONSTER. One of Americas best bands of the day and their stuff holds up today........ way ahead of their time and they always fucking rocked!!
Play the intro from this song ,from the live album in reverse (with some music editing software) and you'll hear Tyner speaking his mind about Rockefeller.☺
what song can you yell motherfucka!! to when announcing a radiohead song? "KARMA POLICE MOTHERFUCKA!" im a creep...muthafucka!!!...ANYWAY this band makes radiohead sound like a person taking a diahrrea shit in a taco bell bathroom
i completely agree with you. on second thought, "I'M A FUCKIN CREEP MOTHERFUCKA!!!" would sound pretty cool. i listen to plenty of mellow music music that isn't all about having BIG BALLS and kicking ass. its just that songs like this tend to get the wolfs blood pumping in my veins...hence the radiohead bashing...im gonna go listen to The Smiths - "Girlfirend in a Coma" now and cool off.

Saw them live in Detroit in 1970 and they were a MONSTER. One of Americas best bands of the day and their stuff holds up today........ way ahead of their time and they always fucking rocked!!

Play the intro from this song ,from the live album in reverse (with some music editing software) and you'll hear Tyner speaking his mind about Rockefeller.☺

HAHAH! Dude, I love the similie! Gives me another perspective on Radiohead.

They are completely different kinds of music.
Yeah there is time to kick out the jams in every way possible and just go crazy.
But there are also times to be a bit quieter and be more metaphorical and lyrical.
They are both good for different reasons.
LISTEN TO DIVERSE MUSIC PEOPLE!

i completely agree with you. on second thought, "I'M A FUCKIN CREEP MOTHERFUCKA!!!" would sound pretty cool. i listen to plenty of mellow music music that isn't all about having BIG BALLS and kicking ass. its just that songs like this tend to get the wolfs blood pumping in my veins...hence the radiohead bashing...im gonna go listen to The Smiths - "Girlfirend in a Coma" now and cool off.
