MC5- Borderline

[@robertshaefer7760]

First saw these guys in 68 at the Crazy Horse in Kalamazoo Michigan. I knew something big was going to happen because one of the roadies was nailing the drum kit to the stage floor! The flags on the amps was another visual. They had JC Crawford do the whole intro bit and then just EXPLODED on stage! Never saw anything like it before or since. Definitely a life changing experience! This was a week before they recorded their first album at the Grande in Detroit and they did the whole album at this show. So glad I got to see them in their prime!

[@waynekramer949]

Way ahead of their time but I got to see them in September 21, 1969 at the Minneapolis Labor Temple. My ears rang for a few days but it was so incredible for the day. Heck, for ANY day! Metal bands owe a lot to these guys for blazing the trail.

Mc5, rock and rolls greatest secret, I'm just hearing this now 50 plus years later, I continue to be blown away by this band, they belong in the rock and roll hall of fame, they are fantastic, sad to see Wayne go, what he left behind, will be loved by millions.

[@5HlNOBI]

True Rock Pioneers! Proto-Punk, Blues, Rock. They inspired a generation.

[@henkejohansen4563]

Fantastic , timeless noise ... single version even better

[@angelserna8147]

Wayne inspires me to go to school and learn music.

[@andrewforrester5303]

Or don't go to school and just do music anyway more like.

[@2409milla]

My heart just starts beating like crazy when I hear this! So great!

[@lowtunesinc.2926]

Mind-blowing in so many ways

[@beemer1111]

Man did we fuck up, we could have spent adulthood listening to these guys fulltime!

[@mustlovepretzels]

Jeffo: thanks for posting. Cheers!

[@russellcrawford7453]

Wayne Kramer without American flag guitar should have joined the Paul Revere and the Raiders! Howdy from Dallas Texas

[@arthurmoelee1217]

[@user-lh8rb5wx6q]

This is so much better than it seems.

[@markvickroy6725]

P* that's pretty fuckin profound. and true

[@phelimheming8593]

I prefer the Backstreet Boys version; it was so much more sincere, passionate, intense, and powerful.

[@kathy2trips]

You're kidding, right? Hell, hope so!

[@stephenkane2464]

troll filled with phlegm

[@photoslum]

Idk about that, seemed pretty great from the beginning to me

[@andrewsebastianzaios2053]

The real Heavy rock!!

[@buriedverydeep]

The Real suburban groove ...at least one billion years ahead of those (and also these) years

[@the13er]

1968 they supported Yardbirds feat Jimmy Page in the Detroit shows. Heavily inspired Page returned home and formed Led Zeppelin. The rest is history.

[@torpeligneB]

[@plexibill]

[@celestepetitechatte]

this is so good that I don't even care about all those american flags

[@stephenkane2464]

that's why they had them too -- first use of the american flag during an MC5 show was for the band to stand on to prevent electrical shock because the floor was wet -- or so i'm told ;)

[@jeff1586er]

Turn this up so loud that you can't hear ANYTHING else. That's what they sounded like.

[@plexibill]

r sum of those old shots of the 5 playing at rouge park ?????

[@robertcubinelli4961]

[@mettalleiro1]

[@rodrigojcj2297]

👍👏👏

[@ant.p.47]

high as hell

[@begrackled]

Oh *hell* yeah.

[@esslar1]

It was their being political that makes them still mean something when so many other bands don't matter anymore. That's where their power is.

[@avoirducran]

Tell that to Crass. Without rock you can't roll.

[@ColinTheButthead]

@the13er i can believe it, I have just never heard that before, where are you getting this information from?

[@Hister333]

Tried that. Still heard my wife.

[@luceliojosedacosta8893]

[@50gary]

Sunn Amps. The real sound of the Motor City 5 . None of that mushy a$$ Marshall crap.

[@the13er]

@ColinTheButthead Yes, I am. That´s just true. What`s wrong?

[@JAMMA68]

this is thrash metal!

[@klmullins65]

Wow, this is really different from Madonna's version! I'm kidding, of course!

[@philipbonner6486]

LOL

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

klmullins65: The only commonality she shares with MC-5 is that she's a fellow Michigander.

[@chrisghiardi117]

It's a safe bet she had some MC5 exposure and when she played guitar prefame she had a RIC 450 similar to Sonic.

[@J3ampyx]

Estaria bueno esas banderitas quemadas...

[@BlueRosebuds]

Can't speak for all of us.

[@mozartfx1]

@ColinTheButthead Go occupy yourself.

[@arnyarny77]
