Winston Psmith Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Detroit gave us a lot of great Music, but nothing sounded like the MC5.

Ivan May Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hats-off. Yeah, I was a little disappointed about the death of Wayne Kramer from the MC5. They were a great (but rather overly political band), and Wayne Kramer did indeed kick out the jams with that beautiful Strat of his. And Fred Smith, later to marry Patti Smith and play on some of her greatest albums, was a great lead player. He used to play a Rickenbacker on those vintage MC5 albums. Also of note: Blue Oyster Cult covered Kick Out The Jams for their live 1978 album Some Enchanted Evening, but Eric Bloom's banshee yells don't come close to matching the gravel pipes of Rob Tyner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Although I was born in Detroit, and I've lived in suburban Detroit most of my life, I have never met or seen Wayne Kramer. What a shame, I think he would have been a fun guy to talk with. 1 Quote I rock; therefore, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
