| Emanating from the Detroit chrome mountain
with Guitars set on stun and combining heavy metal, punk, free form
jazz, Motown, Vietnam, civil unrest, Black and white panthers, dope,
guns and fucking in the streets the MC5 for a time were the
mightiest most righteous band on earth.
If you think the Clash were political then think
again as the MC5 lived and breathed trouble and conflict.
But...first and foremost they were a rock 'n'
roll band with incendiary tunes and showmanship who influenced bands
from Iggy to Motorhead to the Damned to the London SS and eventually succumbed to
the pitfalls of its lifestyle.
Here we salute the mighty Motor City
5 - classic punk rock! |
