The Cramps interview (talking about rock n roll!!!!!!!)

[@friendlier]

"Rock 'n' roll is folk music." Absolutely.

[@pkramerable]

Right on!

[@liverpoolpictorial]

I've never heard Lux being so assertive, almost annoyed like this before. Great interview.

[@pkramerable]

The questions from the interviewer are boneheaded. Lux is just laying it on the line.

[@JismIsm-en4kz]

NEVER heard Lux speak in an interview till recently - Sonds like Jello Biafra/Zappa - VERY intelligent gentleman - Fortunate to have seen The Cramps once in NYC back in the mid-90's

[@CharlesProctor-i4t]

Early Rhythm and Blues, Rockabilly, Doo-Wop, Surf Music, Garage Rock, Proto-punk, and Punk.

[@bradcoffman7395]

Hope you are okay PI. I miss your playing on the big Gretsch and I miss Lux out front. Still watch your YT vids. Keep on rockin'.

[@joebrewer4529]

That was brilliant! What was really refreshing to accidentally discover watching these interviews on KZbin. Is that they collected doo wop. I'm old enough to listen to oldies radio from the 70s which was really the 50s. So I was really obsessed with rock and roll. Because it was that exciting especially doo wop!

"Rock and roll is about sex." - Lux Interior We miss you every day

[@herrbrucvald6376]

these documents are so completely precious now......

[@thechapelperilous]

If the Rock n Roll hall of fame was worth one sh-t The Cramps would have been inducted 20 years ago.

[@markbrooks4471]

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. Hello Richard. Wow, this is a long-lost gem. Great to see it finally uploaded here. Rest in Peace Lux and Nick.

[@pascalarcade2330]

Body and soul i always need Rock'n'Roll music, the Cramps traduce and don't forget that feeling for us, the sound, the ambiance and yes a kind of faith now for me, and better than when i was younger and lost, when all around some parties and culture things fakes seems to put down this breathe of fun and romance, and yes it's for everybody so take that chance and thanks i discover so many bands and singers give us this fire alive, i love many styles now but i always come back to Rock'n'Roll, serious ow yezzzz ha ha ha papa ouh meow meow

[@spiroskoufos4786]

Timeless...(+ Priceless...)

[@caseyinberlin]

I miss them so

[@motorcop505]

I love Poison Ivy! RIP Lux!

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

It's a hell,of a place that so much music was created in the US including RocknRoll.

[@saram9300]

Damn great interview!! Miss Lux soooooo much!

[@juanjuan491]

I love them

[@J4060]

Sweet couple.

[@JoseAvila-cg3le]

Cramps are very unique band fun music to dance listen n party like an animal

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

Rock n Roll 👉👌Baybeh!!!

[@chocodiledundee1]

So intelligent ❤️ poison Ivy sexiest woman ever in Rock’n’Roll history

[@timacrow]

how true!

[@bmay282]

We're out to be open minded.. We are merely free minded .. they all have some kind of thing they want to market us.. sometimes people call us the monsters of rock.. but true rock n roll is for everyone.. it's the closest thing to pure energy.. 💕

[@andygtmo]

Zero dislikes as of feb 2018. Awesome.

[@tommy10843]

Andrew Reed I just disliked the video to fuck your comment

[@saintblith]

[@Bobby_Duggy94]

[@CharlesProctor-z8t]

True

[@ThatsWhenItkickedin]

It's about sex, truth and life. Miss you Lux, long live Poison Ivy Rorschach

[@lawrencescott2824]

And then there was Ivy

[@oggearhound2242]

rock and roll has 4 tropes.. Sex, Fast Cars, Money and Heartbreak

[@cainfritz]

does anyone know what year this is from??

[@markbrooks4471]

Its August 1986 - the Cramps were in Auckland to play 2 shows at the Galaxy, the end of the Date with Elvis world tour. The shows were issued as the band's 8th album RockinnReelininAucklandNewZealandXXX This interview was for Kiwi rock television show Radio With Pictures.

[@kailastrebuchet4970]

Is that Rowland S Howard interviewing them?

[@pascalarcade2330]

ha ha ha i see Ron Wood for my part

[@drlarrymitchell]

I don't intend to offend- I just offend with my intent.

[@whiskey40]

How many times did lux say rock n roll

[@gmar7836]

I wonder what Ivy is doing these days?

[@saram9300]

Who are the 2 dislikes?????

[@annabellejacob5367]

Rock music fans I guess...

[@glennhecker4422]

RRHOF decision makers?

[@miminounours189]

what year is this interview?

[@transfattyexpress]

Probably around 1985 or 86.

[@TheLazyGeneTV]

Ah Dick Driver a Kiwi classic

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

They take these mundane vague questions and turn them into an opportunity to express the things they want to express. Bet you dollars to donuts they were never invited on a daytime trash show like Springer because they would bring too much intellect and class.

[@pkramerable]

Exactly! At 1:00. Rock & Roll is about sex. It's stupid to say that The Cramps were deliberately out to offend anyone. Today, I've heard young people say that Rock & Roll is "too aggressive". Good Lord! It's supposed to shake you up snowflake!

[@jeffreyhoehn9307]

Stay sick !

[@anthonyklein9129]

R n' R is Folk music? I don't think so!

[@justinfossa3709]

Gun club is not a comedy act mind your peers n ques.

[@mikesgarage18]

All shtick... Rock n roll is simpler than he's making it out to be. You "rock" an audience with music, then you load your gear into a car or van and "roll" to the next show. Rinse repeat. Still like The Cramps music though.

[@elijahmeilak2906]

Yeah he came off as pretentious in this interview. Gatekeeping music is never a good look.

[@beatnik111]

@@elijahmeilak2906 he was not Gatekeeping and not being pretentious his being all rock n roll
