The Cramps - People Ain't No Good

[TheDevindevin]

bad music for bad people

[1975PAVLOS]

a real band that did what it wanted

[missopan]

Nothing to decline about, people aint no good.. I have met very few enterily free in senses..

[Gonzo196969]

A dose o' Cramps a day is jus wat Dr Gonzo orders!

[godforge2003]

I was strictly classic, till I heard this, fucking punk.

[ShineOnDude]

Kind of reminds me of tom Waits:P



[BOCHUNKS]

I've had The Cramps for over twenty years and even the Doctor says they only get better with age.

"Stick out your can, cause I'm the Garbage Man"

[killgreed]

Got that right!

[bwdo]

15 people ain't no good.

[BabylonAGoGo]

brilliant!

[joejudo27]

very well put

[IrishMetalCop]

Clever Rock and Roll!!!!

[omittedforclarity]

Don't laugh now, but I think the joke's on you.

[loachomattic]

The Cramps are and always will be the coolest band musically and lyrically. Lux gave absolute insight into what most people are, simply no good, because they were never cool enough to understand The Cramps. Ivy created The Cramps sound to compliment what music is and always should be. The Cramps succeeded where every other band in musical history failed. Well done Lux !!!

[pixiechick1981]

This is on my zombie killin mix! :P

[1fibro]

love it

[1fibro]

gold pure gold



[nowhesapoof]

Oh Ivy and Betty. If only. I'd die rapidly.With Lux, Nick and Bryan playing behind me. Save me Dad. x

[gmmcnair]

The 13 who disliked this ain't no good!

[melodiantime]

THE PASSION OF LUX, HUMANIST, ENVIRONMENTALISTS WILL FIGHT ON. FUCK NEPOTISM, CAPITALISM AND CORRUPYION, ON EVERY COURSE OF LIFE.

[OrchidOxycodone]

@melodiantime Uh if you want music about those things you should listen to something like Crass.The Cramps were about party,get fucked up,and staying sick for the most part.And the fact they had no morallity lessons and made "bad music for bad people"is what made them so awesome.

[melodiantime]

FUCK THESE PEOPLE, WE KNOW WERE THEY OPERATE FROM. THE SMUG CLASSES. GET THEM TO FUCK.

[eleonora1782]

How could anyone not love the Cramps??? I only own their albums Pschedelic Jungle and Gravest hits, and, with each song I discover, it just gets better and better!

[ralphcraddock]

[HerselfTube]

[Johnnyluxe]

bloody hell.. the rating is up to 12 who dont like does that equate to a 35.67 % dislike factor ? my answer is 35.67% shouldnt even listen to what their ears are scared of...grow new " uncommercial ones"

[garbageman80]

Now THIS is Music. The shit thats being pulled out some rich fucks asshole now in days just ain't music.

[PaganAndrews]

[eartant]

[voxvixen]

This if such a great collection of photos of The Cramps as they originally were...so much fun...the early days and the shows...hanging out with Nick and Brian in the basement cave they lived in on the Bowery(they also rehearsed there)...They were all my friends and I am so glad of it!!!

[NORMANGODS]

[metallika22]

@doctorw2 siiiiiii¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Mianicas]

people ain't no good...

[kosmovynil]

nick knox looks like a "french rocker": Dick Rivers (yes!). Thanx for the pictures !

[mlovecraftr]

The guitar in this song remembers me something i heard by The Horrors. But really, everything by The Horrors is inspired by something else of some obscure artist, which ironically was the same situation for The Cramps

[wickedseymour1]

@mlovecraftr Listen to Think for Yourself, the George Harrison/Beatles song. Everyone steals from The Beatles, intentionally or not.

[Cthulhussama]

@wickedseymour1 The beatles steal from many artists too. Actually the word " steals" is not appropriated, for all musicians are inspired by all musicians. Most of the thieves are producers.

[wickedseymour1]

@Cthulhussama All good points.

[chubbychubakka]

R.I.P. Lux Interior

[DoctorELNewberry]

great pics - got to love Bryan !

[BabylonAGoGo]

[gridlocksk8r]

[eartant]

great vid, picked as a favorite. Got to see the Cramps in 2000. R.I.P. Lux.

[tiano182]

[DailyBrusher]

Yes, Lux, if we can't have you the ole way, Zombie Lux would be just fine. Lux? Lux? Come back!

[MmeLEnfer]

Wake up Lux, the joke's over... your woman needs you and your fans need you. Come back soon! <3

[idontwantohurtnobody]

@MmeLEnfer your right, he's just sleeping. you knob.....

[MmeLEnfer]

@idontwantohurtnobody Fuck off.

[yazfaz]

I would love to see a mash-up of this song with Depeche Mode's People Are People. Almost like a conversation between the songs.

[warhammer1965]

Def Rockabilly N Psycobilly!

Great Band..............Esp Ivy yummy

[MmeLEnfer]

They're all yummy to me!

[faunoram]

lux was the definition of cool!!

rip

[montecarlo362]

[looshkin66]

@montecarlo362  R.I.P. LUX!!!!!!!!

The coolest dead vampire....

[jennyroxx31]

esta bien hahaha si.

[ex1le444]

great collection of Pics!

Even a Jerk like you could see that!

[satanicmaidens]

they are such an awesome couple

[REOVolkswagon]

I caught these cats way back in the day and I haven't been right since. Stay sick Lux.

[vortexsurfe]

REOVolkswagon... nice nickname lol

[44556677ll]

I was strictly punk, till I heard this, fucking classic.

[xxtaxidermyxx]

dunno, man. this is pretty fucking punk.

[MmeLEnfer]

Oh, in attitude it's pretty punk indeed, but I think 44 was referring to the extra sonic influences, such as rockabilly. They're not a "pure" punk band.

[valentinecochran]

punk isn't sonic tho. not to my knowledge.

[LustForHate]

@44556677ll Duh, as if Cramps weren't punk!

[abortedlord]

@44556677ll This is more punk than Black Flag cover band #21971320947. Hahaha.

[madikipe78]

you are a strictly poser!

[omarcobian34]

@madikipe78 You are fucking stupid. :D hahaha fucking stupid kid.

[tavs1970]

@44556677ll great song

[zerealisateur]

Ta gueule saloperie d'anglais de merde.

M. JEAN François.

[ceeblu]

Thanks

[dinomak1970]

The more I venture out into society, the more I understand the truth of this song.

[tavs1970]

@dinomak1970 me to

[zerealisateur]

Ta gueule sale anglais de merde.

[hellfiregrowler]

rest in peace Lux

[loachomattic]

Lux always sang of substance. this is a primary depiction of the the majority of people being no good. This is simply because they can't dig the Cramps. Thats because they simply ain't cool.

[MmeLEnfer]

Well said, 'mattic.

[gwugluud11]

Uhhh... Those pics of a young Poison Ivy... 'Scuse me, cats, while I go to the bathroom and "be constipated"...

[robodoll]

thanks for these early pics of the band...just fab!

[mraos23]

sing it children!

[dafindam]

And they do

[frogtothefore]

Well, we all know dam well people ain't no good .... might as well let kids aware bout it !

[dafindam]

Sorry lad by mistake I was giving You a min it was not the meaning!sory

[ThurloBerry]

there is no way that is nick !

[backinburntcity]

Doesn't Lux sound so much like Nick Cave sometimes? And it's funny because Nick Cave actually has a song himself called 'People Ain't No Good' on his album The Boatman's Call.

Plus, The Birthday Party, Nick's first band, was a lot like the Cramps live!

[ClashCityRockers0]

Also, backinburntcity, Kid Congo Powers was, as well as guitarist for the Gun Club and the Pink Monkey-Birds, guitarist for both the Cramps and the Bad Seeds.

[backinburntcity]

Thanks for the info! That certainly makes sense!

[ClashCityRockers0]

No problem! Love the Cramps, though not so familiar with Cave

[backinburntcity]

You really should get into him, any Cramps fan would probably love Nick Cave. Download 'Stagger Lee', 'Dig Lazarus Dig', 'The Mercy Seat', and 'The Singer' (a Johnny Cash cover) if you're interested. :)

[ClashCityRockers0]

Funny you should say - a friend of mine, a Cramps and Gun Club fiend, highly recommended the Birthday Party to me, especially 'Junkyard'. Cheers!

[yarrowthesavage]

Sing it children!

[microscepter]

The fact that this generation is fucking brainwashed and concerned with bullshit fake commericalized music, is a testament to Lux Poison Ivy and The Cramps, because seriously, PEOPLE JUST AINT NO GOOD! And, well, I don't like their face. REST IN PEACE LUX YOU WERE THE FUCKING MAN HIMSELF, ELVIS FUCKING CHRIST...

[VViRrRu5]

WORD!

[voxvixen]

@microscepter AMEN!!!!!!

[Athegriste]

@microscepter amen

[TheStrainers]

@microscepter so well said!

[CreepTheaters]

@microscepter I am not brainwashed. I feel like I am one of the few who gets it, and knows whats going on in this world.

[microscepter]

@CreepTheaters then your on the right page!! keep on motherfucking rocking \m/\m/

[GrigoriZhukov]

@microscepter Funny...that's what they said about my generation. That would be the mid 70's to late 80's.

[LeLimeLine]

@microscepter Don't fool yourself. EVERY generation has been brainwashed and concerned with bullshit fake commercialized music. Why do you think punk rock was born in the first place?

[microscepter]

@LeLimeLine Properly Noted and well put LLL, thank the big old leather clad motorcylce reving punk rocking man upstairs for its conception!! \m/\m/

[bozboy99]

r.i.p lux you were and still will be true rockin roll and your legacy will live forever

[urbanminer1]

RIP Lux.... You will be missed...

Deeply!

[Skunk47]

The Cramps.....joskus -89 provinssirokissa räjäytti tajuntani, mikäjatkuu edellleenkin!!!

[1stLadyLazarus]

O YEH BABY...

[biaouwx]

so . . . so so!:!

[BigMike69Now]

This is a hoax. I cant believe you all buy the "lux is dead thing" at 62...bullshit...I want pictures.

No, the true King of Punk (sorry Johnny) is not dead.

He's going to surprise us all with some weird ass, back from the dead, haloween concert.

For everyone who knows lux and the cramps, that's their "M.O."

He's surfin dead. I want those concert tickets.

Lux has yet to play his last show.

[jonnyDquest]

We can only wish

[punkazzgearhead]

I hope your right!

[Diablorosa]

lift yer mort and ya wont get hort

[garagerockermadrid]

the Cramps are the real deal!

[ttex]

3:09 There's Click Mort on guitar!!!

[Lolle92]

r.i.p lux!

[sexymadonetwo]

nice tribute video to the best rock n roll band ever! Thanks for the memories lux. Much LOVE TO YOU IVY.XXXX

[findlaybears]

I hope theres some Crapms books coming out , no words neede ,right? Lux Ivy 4ever

[thepumpkins101]

this guy is on crack!!!!!!

[admanphoto]

Still getting my he around the fact that Lux isn't with us anymore.

[ClashCityRockers0]

Me too... I can't seem to accept it.

[Bowwowwow2]

Great photos of the classic Cramp line up. Cheers

[SecretAgentSlothman]

People SUCK!!!

Great song. The other's okay and man Ivy looks HOT here but People Ain't No Good is the truth about this world.

Thanks for posting

R.I.P. Lux

[bignastyphilly]

I will say it again GODDAMN the cramps throw down on this one!

[sonicavenga]

"And the rebels have been right all along. This country is fucked up..."

...and we needed The Cramps to reveal this to us???

[txmcxlx]

The end of Lux is the end of an era. For thirty years the Cramps have been sending the message of "Hey!, what is wrong with this picture?".  And the rebels have been right all along. This country is fucked up. The Cramps version of Heartbreak Hotel was a masterpiece of satirical commentary. They topped both Freberg and Spike Jones with that one. Loved ya Lux even if I never did any drugs.

[ChronisRedFog]

I Will never forget you.

[DisturbedHypothesis]

RIP LUX!

1946-2009

[sonicjay007]

LUX FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SamuraiClinton]

RIP LUX!

1946-2009

[mujoo]

RIP LUX, we love you.

[adamkrotone]

Ciao LUX!!!! rest in peace :-(

[thezacker]

[Atanua]

=( May he rest in peace

[nilsdeath]

go kiss betty page in hell for me lux !! you were the best!!!

[HATECITYUSA]

LONG LIVE LUX- [ROCK IN PEACE]

[badmuhfuh]

No one rattled your cage, troll. Go play in traffic.

[capuc71]

go swivel you creep

[ClashCityRockers0]

You moron. Lux is an icon of Rock'N'Roll. You have no business disrespecting a brilliant and dead man.

I think quite a few people in the world would prefer that YOU died instead of Lux.

[choade]

RIP Lux

[brianlowdown]

fuck i hate people the worlds overcrowded,stop fuckn and havn retards

[brianlowdown]

they aint worth shit

[toskivalentino]

kinda missed these guys at the time. Seems something like iggy pop meets the B52's. Liked both of those so wonder how missed the cramps.

[amelieinsanity]

Goddam they are good. =]

[ZigZagWanderer]

"A date with Elvis", one of the greatest rock albums ever !

[sshatchell]

I like alot of their stuff and only really discovered them the past year. This song really does throw down the beat. The best of rock and punk!

[44556677ll]

This is one song I cant get out of my fucking head just like TV Set, highschool all over again,fucking bad grades and peer preasure.

[Sgurd]

Such an amazing band. And those pics were absolutely fabulous.

[bakermaher]

Bloody good.

[bignastyphilly]

i say goddamn! the cramps throw down on this tune.

[znotty]

Bryan Gregory was my stepfather.

[gokartmozart]

Really, is Robyn your mom?

[znotty]

Yep,She`s back in OZ now & still a massive pain in the arse.

[znotty]

A ps, I never met Bryan but Mommy dearest told me he was so "out there" that he even freaked out the freaks,a unique human being for sure.

[dunferboy]

rip...bryan......the cramps remain the most photogenic group....the mystery, the allure...the music.....nothing to beat them !

[wana053]

the first i ever heard from the cramps,i was sold..that's twentysome years ago..
