The Cramps - Tear It Up LIVE

[Zingo33]

The difference between rockabilly and punk isn't as large as you would think.

[SuBSoniCSykO]

Lets wreck it again! What Brand o' ChamPAIN do you WreckCommend?

[SuBSoniCSykO]

these guys wrecked the rockabilly,

[bloozmonkey111]

@SuBSoniCSykO May I suggest a champagne enema? It throws a lovely sheen on life.

[hugs1705]

One day Poison Ivy will get the credit she deserves; She is a fantastic guitar player!!!!

[rocknrollrebel1000]

nothing beats the rock n roll trio imo.

[mrsolofeo]

The most perversion ever squeezed into six minutes of music!

[Menace1979]

5:39 That's when I got mad :D

[ApollosPythia]

somethin tells me he mita been crazy

[SHELLHEAD1961]

When did Lux pass away?....this is the first i've heard about it.

[TheHatefulDead]

@SHELLHEAD1961

Lux died in 2009...

Hell hasn't been the same since ;-)

[Fuchfam4]

ALOHA Lux!

[MrVitalmusique]

I supose that from a "rock & roll" point of view, this thing is great.

Anyway, from a strictly musical point of view, this is ... only shit !

[misscandyxoxo]

@MrVitalmusique Rock 'n' Roll the IS the greatest music-Lux said that anyone who didn't think so was a turd!

[joekubert]

@MrVitalmusique

you're wrong, it's... Holy Shit!

RIP, Lux, sorely missed, but surely not forgotten.

[BadVizion]

I WOULD EAT OUT POISON IVY FOR AN ETERNITY! :)

[sebastian92806]

wowowow eso si ke es musika !!!!!!!

[tommylord]

Jim Morrison is rolling over in his grave.

[gothicbangkok]

oh god how did rock n roll come to this...not easy to top it :)

[jerryskid1]

I'm going to wear the same outfit for the annual family X-mas gathering. That ought to clear the house out.

[frodolives100]

Eleven people are republicans.

[Jewclops]

So glad I got to see them before Lux died, one question though... What the fuck is he on!?

[megadethmofo]

@Jewclops drano hot shot, whack attack, nitrous oxide, formaldehyde, helium

[Jewclops]

@megadethmofo i want in

[lagaloupette]

excellent! et pas besoin de costume come Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xX1R0NMA1DENXx]

the singer is soo gay.... why did they allow him to wear nothing but girl panties?!

[krainey]

@xX1R0NMA1DENXx

maybe you realy ought not listen to the cramps then =)

[killgreed]

@xX1R0NMA1DENXx Where else is he going to wear them?

His head, peaking out the leg holes?

\

[heizopei]

That's what I call entertainment :-)) I saw them live in 1990 & they were fantastic!!!

[mantishandz]

NSFW. For the best reasons.

[bangtwister]

I compare all bands against the Cramps. None of them meet the mark. This vid shows how great Lux was, and what an awesome combo Lux and Ivy were. RIP Lux Interior:(

[yasujirozu]

all that sid wanted to be but was never capable..

[nightmantis1]

I think its the first planking the world had ever seen!

[prllouro]

so great!!! Lux & Ivy were what's rock'n'roll should be about!

[MisterLester]

Sticking a microphone in one's gob and howling is one of life's great pleasures, one finds.

[1bridlington]

People must be crazy to pay to watch this...

[alexsweeley]

God damn, I love the Cramps and Lux.

[brittisnow]

Can you imagine him talking to the crew? "Look guys, I need an extra extra extra EXTTRA long cable so I can uhhh.... do things."

[willerror]

Fantastic lineup, saw this show in Trenton NJ May 1990. WHO WAS THERE.

[funkadelicatessen]

I would love to grow up in the same style with this gentleman (with some dignity).

[SF1940s]

You know he used to exercise at that age with his body

[missinglink27]

for some reason all guys on heroin love to wear woman's clothing...lol!

[fireandhammer]

I will never forget sitting on the stage at Toad's Place in New Haven and having Lux, clad in vinyl, come up wrap his cold and sweaty ass arm around my shoulder........one of the fucking highlights of my life. Rock and roll will miss you forever. Lux and Ivy give me hope for the future of relationships, sweet and twisted love.

[prgvidiot]

HOW can one Dislike this ?!? Does a guy in heels and a nutsling frighten you ?

GOOD.

Wussbags...8 and counting. Keep on scaring the good folk, Lux~ RIP.

[NLOVEWITHJOANJETT]

@prgvidiot lux can also climb a stack of marshall amps;my wife could not believe me when i told her that this man does things in high heels women have'nt dared to do.

[SupernalOne]

wow, they're cramping pretty severely here

[StarkeSu]

5:39 im gonna die hahahahaha

[sawboss17]

Lux is a fukin monster !

[mcaston1104]

THIS IS R&R. EVERYTHING WRONG IS EVERY THING RIGHT

[killgreed]

That looks like fun, I am jealous?

[daancox1966]

Dat was een one of a kind concert voor mij,veel skin en massa in het publiek. bizar!

[PutridPeacock]

I love the way Ivy walks off the stage, she's so fucking hot.

[ziwzihizwiz]

@PutridPeacock uyuuugughghh humana hummmmana hummana wwwwwwwoooooooooowwwww VVVVVVEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOP

[pseedie]

[ilvalek]

Semplicemente Vi Amo alla Follia.

Qualcuno è stato al concerto di Milano? C'era lui arrampicato come in questo video e stormi di pipistrelli volavano fuori dalle casse :D

[lectricman64]

[spasemonkey05]

[cannedheat13]

[AllApologiesMike]

[wips101]

[MegaMegalomaniac]

[mass3s]

[mondocaneman]

I remember seeing The Cramps back in 1982... they opened up for Siouxie and the Banshees...and Lux stole the show!!!

R.I.P Lux!

[pon68890]

never will their be a band of this extent ever again...the cramps are simply awesome

[motorbiker63]

I want to call this a disgusting piece of garbage ... but it was so fuckin' good!

[nightgoat99]

Holy Shit! That was the coolest thing I've ever fucking seen!

[loachomattic]

The Cramps never dissapoint. Well done Lux !!!

[ultraviolentgeisha]

don't know why but 5:38 cracks me up

[666Iluminatis666]

LUX INTERIOR FOR PRESIDENT

[antimax]

Chicks just don't play guitar like this no more. Wait... NO ONE plays guitar like this no more!!!!

[graybeard420]

@antimax Ivy plays like this...........God i love redheads and Gretsch guitars. RIP Lux.

[bigbadchang]

Wow. What's amazing is I have a tape of this same song from the URGH compilation and 19-20 years later they still tear it up like they did in the beginning. Poison Ivy rips that guitar up.

[krainey]

what would grandpa say??

[tiranchula]

Gotta say, the Cramps gigs were sooo much fun! A free for all! Oh to be young again and to just go wild!

[morphinxy]

hahaha estos punks  xD

[palindrome1959]

RIP Bro!!!

[Souplesse000]

Now that's what I call a front man.

[LordPosho]

thanks to Americans the word awesome gets used far too often - but this is AWESOME.

Kristy Wallace Kristy Wallace Kristy Wallace Kristy Wallace Kristy Wallace

MY KIND OF WIFE. guitar girl

[yrmop]

Normal. Voilà comment un chanteur de Rock'N'Roll doit se bouger sur scène. Avis à tous ceux qui veulent s'essayer. Si tu le sens pas comme ça caaasse-toi, des qui tout mous qui nous ennuient, y'en a déjà plein les salles, et bien souvent autant sur scène que dans la salle. Alors je n'aurais que cette digne et salubre parole: MORT AUX BABAS! Cash de BABYCASH

[krainey]

I heard BONO is going to have a similar outfit made at u2s next tour

[psalwasser]

miss you lux

[wisesatyr72]

thats what I called Rock n Roll

[jpwillcox]

man they gooood

[omnifa]

I was a baby when this show happened... feelsbadman, seems like a fucking great show.

[MegaVoodooChile]

Even after 20 yrs, every time I see Lux climb that P.A stack in heels and do his high wire act, My stomach drops like a roller coaster. I mean, you can see the s**t wobbling around, and I've seen suicide jumpers who didn't climb that far up. God bless Lux (R.I.P.) and Poison Ivy. (If you think she's hot on film ya oughta see her from 3 ft away- I was sweating freeking bullets! STAY SICK!!!

[pinz2022]

@MegaVoodooChile

Says this was from 1990. He would have been 44 and Ivy 37. They look damn good here. I can only assume Lux carefully practiced this move and made sure the speakers were stable. I'm guessing he only made it LOOK like it was spontaneous. At least I'm hoping he did.

[MegaVoodooChile]

@pinz2022 Given the fact that all these things are true (they ARE - it was carefully rehearsed and Lux did personally check the stacks. Spontaneous? Nah. Dangerous as f**king hell? You betchum Red Ryder. My girl wears high heels everyday, still falls off of them, and has never had to climb 20 ft P.A. columns. I worked a Cramps/311 show on Halloween and got a chance to see them prep up. (Cramps were late and we were "treated" to 2 hrs of 311) Good news? It was Halloween in da French Quarter

[RaoulDuke504]

@MegaVoodooChile Hey, were you at their show at Tipitina's in NOLA around '90? That was an insane show!

[MegaVoodooChile]

@RaoulDuke504 Nah, had to skip that one Duke (I think it was '91) cuz I had to work a Sonic Youth show the same night (the "GOO" tour.) I heard the show was insane and they oversold the house (a common problem at Tip's) but you couldn't go wrong with the Cramps. Sorry for the delayed response but I was chillin in Mexico for a bit. Big love from da WHO DAT NATION! (P.S. - Cool screen name. I dig da f**k outa Hunter!)

[houseofgogo]

@MegaVoodooChile

The last couple of years that they came to town, the venues wouldn't let him take his cock out on stage anymore. We would stand front row and beg him to, but sadly, he was a good boy. The last year he was in Seattle before he died, he pumped his crotch in my face for a good 20 seconds. Probably one of the most satisfying nights in my entire life. Rest in peace sweet pervert-you are sorely missed!

[MegaVoodooChile]

@houseofgogo Glad to hear you like the Cramps. Sorry to hear they were censored. In NOLA, it's pretty much anything goes. I've seen many nude musicians including Iggy Pop, Rex Everything ( Nick Oliveri) and "WHEWHOCANNOTBENAMED (Dwarves), Chili Peppers "socks on cocks"(with Hillel), Ruyter Suys (Nashville Pussy), Courtney Love, G.G. Allin,etc. Cops don't care- they see Mardi Gras every year. I admire Lux, but I stand by Ivy, drooling & pretending to stare at her Gretch & not her equiptment ;-D

[loserfest]

To Hell with all you homophobes - Lux is THE manliest man that the world had ever seen! It doesn't make you gay for going on stage in high heels and a banana hammock - it makes you the straightest fucking man ever! RIP Lux!

[TheStrainers]

@loserfest Tell it like it is! Hell Yes

[mad69daddy]

Absolutely classic Lux and Ivy. If you never got to see the live performance, this is about as good as it got, and it did so hundreds of times... Miss you guys.

[rayjmama]

omg I am blown away. Rock n roll ladies and gentlemen!

[ironbuttermilk]

In some ways Lux reminded me of Yoko Ono. . . . y'know. . . . if she was super cool. . . which she never actually was.

. . . . . . oh, never mind.

[urheadonastick]

Gee do you think the singer might be an extrovert or something?

[k77jones]

who dressed this guy?

[Wrightwasright]

@k77jones Your Momma

[lyon406]

@k77jones

His wife........

[MrGraphis]

Rock n Roll should terrify your parents... if it doesn't, then it's not the real thing.

[sidDkid87]

@MrGraphis OR your parent Rock too!!!

[tasj0001]

@MrGraphis

How are the kids going to shock us now?

It all been done.

[bigstereo]

@MrGraphis My mom loves the Cramps. Does that make them phony?

[Thomasjefferson8263]

@MrGraphis

you are exactly right!

[ThoseGreenDayz]

Jesus... They sure tore that place up.

[rexnickles2]

his vagina must stink! :P

[EmmaInCandyland]

dudes put some cloth on xD

it make me want to twist!

[MissyJustMissy]

best live performance ever! thank u for this. u must see muleskinner blues live also. exhausting! divine!

[lovemechekitten]

@MonarcasfreaK haahaa,  :P

[sideburner]

The greatest, sexiest and most amazing band ever. Nobody, NOBODY has ever captured the pure essence of Rock n' roll like the cramps. Dirty, sleazy, tasteless (but with a great taste anyway) , raw, straight up in your face... Lux and Ivy, two fantastic gods of pure uninhibited rock! Hope you're popping bop pills with Elvis now mighty Lux! R.I.P.

[jenniferjuniper97]

Love the heart on his panties <3

[chechabel1]

QUE LIMADO ESTABA ESTE MUCHACHO.....

[markawa]

Thank God my mother never caught me watching this...lol

[sidDkid87]

I L.O.V.E. the way Ivy struts off the stage . . . love it!

[callasexperience]

he has got balls

[gibbley]

LUX IS MY ELVIS

[Loobs666]

What the Hell has Lux got on his feet? I don't mind a semi-naked man trying to hump a PA stack (I'm sure we've all tried it at one time or another).... but glossy patent leather shoes...with grimy underpants.... deffo a no-no!

[Simleon]

@Loobs666

The Cramps are some kind of BDSM Rockabilly band, that's what makes them awesome.

[pinz2022]

@Simleon

The classification "psychobilly" was made for them.

[Squatch]

@pinz2022

It was more or less used for The Meteors.

The Cramps are to Psychobilly as Little Richard was to Rock n Roll.

[pinz2022]

@Squatch

So, in your opinion who carries the psychobilly torch these days?

[pfordsq]

I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY BETTER THAN THE LEGENDARY VERSION OF "TEAR IT UP" IN "URGH! A MUSIC WAR."....The ALSO way too sexy for the room Bass player , Candy Del Mar , helps , tho' she is'nt given much screen time. How could anyone , WHEN LUX GOES KONG ON HEELS UP THE SPEAKER CABINET ?

[NARCOLEPTICpediphile]

if he was alive right now he'd be the same age as my grama hahahahah soo badass

[budmotor]

good vox man i miss Cramps

[WoodRatGirl]

Now that's what I call a concert! xxxx

[champbailey02]

hey his shoes match his thong!

[Loobs666]

Great stuff, but is there any chance I can have my underwear and shoes back?

Thank You.

Yours Sincerely

Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson

[joynthis]

I sure with I had the hacking skills to make this come up every time someone did a search for "Ted Nugent" or "Toby Keith." There would be casualties.

[FredericaBimble]

@joynthis - Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..... You NEED to do that! I think there's a way. Post the video and in the tag words, put Ted Nugent, Toby Keith and you may wish to throw in any other crap band as well. It should match the tag words to the searches.

[vanzemljak]

5:4o zombie YELL....LUX_X_X_Legend...Your shout will Echo 4ever in my cortex

[kbconv]

GOOD GOSH!!!  RIP Lux!

[toddfleury]

Lex was the showman, most bands should have learned from him. Great live vid

[viperset]

RIP lux to bad but your t-shirts where great

[piggezz]

is it possible to buy this consert on DVD ?

[qwq45]

ive seen every punk band from the addicts to the u. k. subs-but it was the cramps,that reminded me why i chose punk,or why punk chose me.the status quo-kills the soul

[roybatty68]

I love that he is so lost in the moment that he doesn't realize he needs to sing in to the microphone.

[VUPdingCLICK]

take note-shit,middle of the road bands,AND old past it dinosaurs - - - this I S how ROCK AND ROLL should be done!!!!!

[Raedoll03]

Lux had friggen great legs, and obviously fantastic balance. the Cramps are an incredible combination of 50's sounding Rockabilly, punk, and absolute showmanship along with tremendous insanity. I love this band.

[iliketrees000]

its like they gave dr. franknfurter a microphone and a guitarist. and i effing love it always have n always will <3

[tet1963]

How cool is this, can't believe he can stay up in those stiletto's

[veryrancid]

rock and roll ain´t worth a damn if it don´t make you strut!!

[goofygoat2009]

[XAVISIXTYNINE]

[seelow12]

@MrGraphis I hear ya....

[frankmortonpark]

[seelow12]

They really get an award for services to the music industry

[77hodag]

EPIC!!!

[Chudhole]

Ivy is kind of underrated as a guitar player, she's got lot's swing!

[Chudhole]

real rock n rolla....

[BigZe]

all my worries just melted in 6 minutes

[dcarr84]

The Cramps could fuck your rock and roll ear pussy.

[mariosthunders]

Poison Ivy is by far the sexiest woman in rock.Fuck all the cunts like Lita Ford,Joan Jett etc

[guitargczr699]

only a real man could wear high heels.

He looks so bad ass in them!

XD

[Georgettek99]

I'll use this to teach my children their history lession about what rock and roll was all about. The posing pouch & heels are sooooo sleay but I love the little heart on the front of the posing pouch ... CLASS. And RIP respect

[paddybuk1]

I saw the Cramps at the Manchester Hacienda in 84...awesome, i was deaf for days afterwards...even saw Luix and Poison Ivy in Masrket street shopping and harrassed them for autographs...lol...back in the day!!!!

[geful1413]

i first saw this band live in 86/87 in manchester......as an impressionable 18 yr old.....BUT they were fantstic.....the music was great and the show by Lux was hilarious

[ehollandbkk]

Brilliant!!! I remember this tour. So sad there won't be any more.

[MrGorejess]

sexy:)

[MsDarkwood]

This is the most exciting performance I have seen in a long time. It's rock and roll as it ought to be. Everything else looks dull and boring in comparison! Shame it took me 20 years to discover them!

[mindyzachbaubles]

rock on lux
