Track:
From their final studio lp "High Time" comes this lively little number. MC5 had a promising beginning which earned them a cover appearance on Rolling Stone magazine in 1969 even before their debut album was recorded. They developed a reputation for energetic live performances, one of which was recorded as the critically acclaimed Kick Out The Jams. Their career was ultimately short-lived, thoug...

Funk Wars Pics Censored?

Album:

Track:
This song is the abomination of the MC5 Kick Out The JamsAfter seeing CodyB comment that some of his pics were missing I thought I'd take a look. Sure enough a lot of pics are missing in the older posts of the main players: CodyB, Troypowers,Bartelby,bloodtea.I am wondering what is going on. not all of them are gone so it isn't a blank censorship of showing too much booty but inqiuring minds wo...

I posted a post about Fred Sonic Smith last year on the 5th of November. I think he may have actually passed away on the 4th of Nov. So today should be Fred Sonic Smith day: a day to remember one vastly underrated guitarist and song writer. Not to mention one of Detroit's finest men. I missed posting on Rob Tyner's day of passing, so to honor both men I'm posting one of my favorite MC5 tunes. A...

Track:Kick Out The James
Michael Davis puts his money where his mouth is! Literally!Michael Davis was once a trouble maker together with the rest of the MC5. Now he's taking the purity of the ethics that were always the foundation of the proto-punk rock mayhem born in the 1960s rock n roll culture and channeling it for something everyone can truly get behind. Its still about Revolution. Music Is Revolution.Here's t...

Aint That America

Track:
So I was listening to the MC5 album Back in the USA this morning. Despite the presence of "The Human Being Lawnmower" (ecch), it's a hell of a record. What struck me today was how this record pretty much sums up how I feel about this country in two songs. One is the title track, a cover of Chuck Berry's classic. Unlike most people who cover Chuck Berry, the MC5 don't appear to be covering t...

"They did'nt care what you played-hippies would dance to anything"-Wayne KramerI'm reading "Please Kill Me" right now, and it discusses the MC5 a little, and it seems to me that bands were much more political back in the 60s and early 70s. Of course, this was because of the war and Watergate, and other things. But look what's going on now. It could be argued that there are things going on no...

MC5 doin' a little song called Starship

Artist:

Album:

Track:
The MC5 is one of my favorite bands to never get the respect they deserved when they were together. I have some bootlegs of them live, and most bands could not hold a candle to the energy, intensity, and volume that this band possessed. Plus, they covered Sun Ra - how fucking cool is that? I have never heard the Sun Ra version, but I am pretty sure that the 5 took some liberties with it. Po...
