  • Takin' on the Night...best song on the album. Awesome that someone is honoring him by playing that song. Wish they would have done that as the video...but sadly he died one year after this was recorded.

  • In this video, Rob Tyner reminds me of Drew Carey in a black afro wig, wearing holloween leathers trying to sing kareoke to The Stones! He'd be better off trying to get a MC5 reunion going with the surviving members! But hey, that's just me.

    Peace Out All!

  • He's not even a surviving member of the band, MC5. He died in 1991. This was recorded in 1990. Just a bit of history...whether you like it or not.

  • ha ha ...this is awfulll!!!

  • ...and, regrettably, it was his swansong...

  • take this down IMMEDIATELY!

    sonic is rollin over...

  • Not sure what you mean. What or who is sonic? I'll take it off youtube if given a good reason. I've gotten good comments from people who loved Rob, including members of his band. It's just one moment in history...

  • THIS IS HOW ELVIS WENT OUT , HE WAS COOL, HE HAD SOUL , THEN HE BECAME A FADED POP MUSIC SENSATION, WELL THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO ROB TYNER :( TOO BAD , THIS GUY WAS A GENIUS WITH THE MC5 IN HIS OWN TIME. THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROCK N ROLL IN THE 1960S WHO SANG : KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHER FUCKER. I WONDER IF ROBS TOMBSTONE NOW SAYS : KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER FUCKERS :) GOD BLESS HIS PUNK SOUL

  • ITS TIME TO KICK OUT THE JOKES :)

  • It's Only Rock 'n Roll Mother Fuckers !!!

  • It's 1990, for god's sake; cut the man some slack!

  • I love this man dearly, but I've never been able to watch this clip all the way through. I forgive him for this misstep, though, given all that amazing things he has done.

  • a sad, almost spinal tap-like parody of what the late great rob tyner once stood for.

    MC5 will live forever - but this? dunno...

  • I think it's great. He's a strong performer and knows what he does. Good rocking tonight.

  • @michelesaintthomas Way to TESTIFY!

  • Being a big fan of mc5 I gotta admit its difficult watching the videos of his later performances. I like his stuff a lot but it seems like he became a parody of himself near the end.
