Cramps Lux Ivy interviews early 1990s Toronto

[Hotelmotelkfc]

Ivy always smiled in Canada. Never saw her smile in Europe

[meeces13]

yeah Much Music banned one of their videos only after playing it for years - candyasses

[ladster3]

Pity John Lennon...he only got stuck with Yoko!

[jimgravesus]

Two of the sexiest people I've ever seen.

[Shine5757]

I am searching for my poison Ivy !!!!

[NegativeDee]

Anyone know if there is anymore of that live show would love to see more of it.

[MsNatakins]

Vampire Bill from True Blood look's like him, especially in this video.

[ThisHear]

@MsNatakins sounds like him too, hah

[1967PONTIACGTO]

Avi Lewis at 5:47.....GAG!  the stupidest sanctimonious asshole in Canadian history...who would send him to interview the Cramps!

[GeorgettePussyquette]

Please, can anyone tell me the title of the song they're performing from 1:37 to 2:07 ?

[amnaki]

@GeorgettePussyquette "creature from the black leather lagoon"

[gronx1979]

'Rock and Roll is about instant gratification...' I totally get that from the music of The Cramps as I do from all of the Rock and Roll greats! May The Cramps live on in our minds for as long as we all shall live... until the flying saucers finally land and steal all of our rock and roll memories...

[NOTgarycoleman]

Who the fuck is that brainless twat at 3:13????

[tmlmike]

@NOTgarycoleman  I tell you what, it's not Gary Coleman.

[totalycramped]

Only found out recently of Lux`s death, So sad! Thank you so much for my misspent youth, and the many gigs I was fortunate to experience. you showed me the true meaning of music and inspired me to pick up a guitar and make some noise.

RIP LUX, wherever you are, say hi to the ramones for me, and keep the party going till I get there.

[Arickhal]

I think Lux is a prime example of a gentleman and Ivy, a lady.

LEGENDS!

[admanphoto]

Great description toiroforcado, Very heartfelt.

[PoireauMan68]

The editing is throwing me a bit...was "thee editor" all "with it"? excellent docu though...Thanks

[exeuroweenie]

Catatonic music? They're the one thing in this world that makes me wanna move besides diarrhea.

[MmeLEnfer]

I have two theories about this (going by memory since my earphones aren't in reach)

1) He's referring to non-Cramps music

2) He actually meant to say 'cathartic'. Anybody can make a mistake.

[exeuroweenie]

Hah,I'll bet you're right,since I kinda doubt he meant to say Catholic.

[MmeLEnfer]

He didn't say catholic, but I don't think you meant that he did, right?

[exeuroweenie]

Haha no,though lapsed Catholics seemed to take to them as much as preppies and bubbas,even.

[MmeLEnfer]

Yeah, well I was mostly good until the Cramps taught me to show my true sick self, which I noticed in retrospect had been vying for expression for years...

[haolekillah]

@exeuroweenie and gonarhea

[GODisNonProphet]

I saw The Cramps at The Horseshoe in Toronto in July, 1978.

There was maybe 25 people there.

Fabulous.

R.I.P. Mr. Interior.

[veronicadajani]

message to lux..you were too fucking much, the people dont know, that yr audience..of true origin.....are yet to be born..bbbbbbbbbborn bad baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby. RIP+THANK YOU FOR YR LEGS.

[MmeLEnfer]

Thanks for your legs, lol! Too True!

[Easydollars]

I was just getting into the cramps and I discover the lead singer has scooted out of planet earth.

Damn shame.!

[MmeLEnfer]

It's tearing me up that he's gone, but the best thing that we can do for his memory is to just get Cramped.

"The Cramps are born to give you fever

"Be it Fahrenheit or Centigraaaade

"We give ya feeeevaaaaaaarrrrrr....."

[keylessally]

"the purpose of rock and roll is instant gratification"

[QuimChaos]

catatonic music hahahahaha dumb assss

[hansjalv]

"... all these aid-benefits... are like having a knife-fight for the good of humanity..."

Words to live by!

[MmeLEnfer]

I don't know how often I've quoted that ;)

[baiNEKO]

their love is unbelievable. beautiful video

[toiroforcado]

I agree

[pinz2022]

@baiNEKO

They are so fucking cute! They don't convince me for a minute that they're in the least bit bad!

[the13thmoon]

Anyone know what this first song is?I must know!

thanks,anybody...

[lilylenoir]

It's called TV Set...

[mrjon75]

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! FUCK!!! i just found out Lux passed.... Bummed.... thankfully i saw them live once. awesome show. THE MUSIC LIVES ON! R.I.P. Lux!

[MmeLEnfer]

I can't really express the way I feel about these two and their music. Fan for Life.

[trespasserw]

Does anyone know what that 7" record they're playing at 0:39 is?

I'm trying to make out the letters.. I think I can read a "Harry & Larry"??

or Barry??

Can anybody help?

[FunkyFungi]

Look down 3 posts from your own.

[amnaki]

@trespasserw The song that the 45's record is spinning around is the "Garlic Bread" by Gary and Larry.Awesome.

[micmore007a]

True Rock and Roll Band !!! He was so right...

[smartalex1122]

lux may be dead, but he will still live on

STAY SICK!!!!!!

[FleshHungryFiend]

R.I.P. LUX!

[problem49]

Ivy appears to be channelling Edith Prickley.

[larryhardy]

Best. Band. EVER!

[mrnodog]

Hi everybody !

Does anybody knows the title of the song on the 7" that we hear at the begining ?

Thanks...

[Roskomaximus]

Lux and Ivy... not just my fave "rock & roll" couple, but my fave couple ever.

[filthghoul]

"music to sharpen your switchblade to" LOL

[thedudeabides2010]

I'm tired of all the great motherfuckers dying...rock 'n roll is almost not worth a shit anymore with Lux gone.....

[seanbootsean]

whats that song playing in the beginning with the record

[Spassmobil]

T.V. Set, I'll use your eyeballs for dials on my T.V. set.

[toiroforcado]

I wish I had that whole early CityTV New Music set from 1979. Rebroadcast please!! Come ON! TRibute please! Note the original VJ there working for US news TV now. Anyway, too much corporate control. Did you noitce on the last Grammy awards on the past away artistes they did not mention Lux? Music Industry does not stand for anything these days except selling shoes and sportswear and computer games. I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU YOUNG PEOPLE! REALLY ! I DO!

[howtomakeamonster]

Gary & Larry - Garlic Bread

[mrnodog]

Merci beaucoup !

mulţumesc !

[nneekolas]

There can't be a Cramps without Lux, but I truthfully hope Ivy keeps playing in some capacity.

[toiroforcado]

I wonder. Does she have a Myspace?

[ClashCityRockers0]

She said no... at least she said They didn't.

[broilet]

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

[toiroforcado]

Yeah. I miss seeing them again since I only saw them once and I will be honest, it was the best show I ever did see! Honest! 10/10 highest rating. If they did come to Toronto again I would have came and brought out everybody I know, because it could have changed them in some way

[ElectricLabel]

Two of the sweetest people you could ever meet. And the coolest too...

[toiroforcado]

I'm glad it comes across in the video too. Offstage self-reflection vs all the on stage extravaganza

[ssoultrain]

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed the hell out of it...

[ajcgn2]

"music to sharpen your switchblade knife by"

[toiroforcado]

I like his comment on rock benefits "having a knife fight to benefit humanity" The Cramps were GRATE for staying clear of any compromises. It comes from being outsiders

[shockabsorber04]

lux dead!

nothing to see on stage in 2009!

[anderthevulchar]

Lux, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea­se come back as a Zombie, if anyone can do it you can. Gone, but you will not be forgotten.

[Martin63]

I love Ivy's hat!

Tear it up Lux!!

[candydeluxivy]

I'm so glad I can see this now. Thank You!
