LOUDER THAN LOVE-The Grande Ballroom Story

LOUDER THAN LOVE is the story of the Grande Ballroom in Detroit Michigan. The Grande Ballroom was the birthplace of the Detroit Rock Music Scene. Bands like MC5,Iggy & The Stooges,Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes,Alice Cooper and many more got their start here. The Grande not only influenced local Detroit musicians but inspired bands from all over the US & from Europe.Legendary acts like Led Zeppelin,The Cream,BB King,Janis Joplin,Pink Floyd and the Who graced the stage at the Grande on a regular basis.
While the west coast was groovin' to the sounds of the "Summer of Love" in 1967, Detroit was pumping out a hard driving,gritty and raw sound that was "LOUDER THAN LOVE"

Imagine the legal quagmire upon the release of this.Second rate has beens demanding royalties that will never be paid.

Typical Detroit venture. Great idea lost in translation due to greed and a desperation for attention by second rate has beens that never really hit the bigtime.

Bet Wayne Kramer be the first to sue over unpaid royalties.

Kramer is the undisputed king of financially desperate,second rate,has been,Detroit guitar players. See MC5's A True Testimonial.Same turd,different asshole.

The crowds at the GRANDE made it HAPPEN!! If you were a good band, you'd look out and see that you needed to keep up with people in the audience. Bands HAD to play better in Detroit,just to keep up with us! Gawd! We love our rock an' roll in 'ol Mich.
