the cramps interview!!!!

enjoy dudes...

[@Iuxinterior]

They act so wild and campy but they’re so down to earth and sweet lmao

[@JoeStunner]

They'd probably hate to be described in this way, but Lux and Ivy always seemed to me like a really lovely couple - just two people in love who made the most of their life together and had a ton of fun. We could all learn something from the Bonnie and Clyde of rock 'n' roll.

[@TMGLost]

FWIW I’ve always considered them the Johnny and June of Psychobilly.

[@briantyson6138]

They would not have hated that at all. I saw em eight times, 1st time at 1st ave. In 86. The back cover photo on gravest hits is them opening for the Ramones in 78. Lux is the guy in the striped suit crawling over the audiences chairs at the bottom of the photo.

[@chriskolb3105]

The Dick and Jane of weirdos.

[@slowswimmer9169]

They're together since 1971

[@stephencombs3971]

Based on Lux’s attire, I assume that from the waist up their house is really cold but from the waist down it’s sweltering hot. Rest well Lux. Love you Ivy.

[@unclefoiley819]

I'd see Lux & Poison Ivy in Glendale Calif and he dressed like that all the time. Usually he had on vinyl pants,but in the summertime just the g string.

[@paulcampbell1596]

i know I'm 3 years late in my reply , but that's funny dude!!!

[@gmar7836]

@@unclefoiley819just a g string in summer?

[@officegossip]

“This is proof that the cramps have culture” points to a framed drawing of a Mad magazine logo lmao

[@Unsubscribedd]

They do not make people like this anymore. I forgot people like this existed. It makes me happy.

[@OnceWasSomething]

they still exist, some are just shy!

[@smileylpsgirl]

the way he walks around the corner at 2:04 absolutely kills me every time

[@freddie.7531]

‘...okaay..’

[@FishboneINK]

For real, that whole scene felt like it could've come from a Christopher Guest movie.

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

@@FishboneINK yeah, absolutely!

[@daniberlanga]

Haha, totally, looks like a scene from The Golden Girls or some other family friendly sitcom.

[@chump203]

The way he casually throws in Wally Wood's suicide really cracks me up too.

[@popetones7400]

"I'm the queen of rock n' roll. It's totally sexist not to recognize that :)" She is the sexiest woman to ever play guitar, her whole style of playing and just being.

[@unclefoiley819]

I saw the Cramps live many times. Poison Ivy was always top notch.

[@sentionaut6270]

This represents everything ive ever aspired to be

[@DrMurdercock]

Yep. The dude is living breathing cool. He isn't acting, he is just being him. And he is a cool ass cat. Nice avatar btw

[@DavidDantePhoenix]

Wish there were more cats like this around... RIP LUX

[@Mondomeyer]

Their house looks exactly like I would expect it to.

[@емзиз]

relationship goals honestly

[@Red5tar66]

I'm most impressed with Ivy's hot rod trophy. Now that's cool.

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Awesome ! I just wish this was 1 hour long.

[@jonesy2111]

There is nothing that comes close to the Cramps... they were real rock and roll, punk, goth, rock a billy and scifi horror rock all in one. RIP Lux, Bryan and Nick

[@dannyaddice5763]

“I’m a vampire I’m over 150 years old” 🤣

[@pablozewoppa]

I will always love The Cramps. May their quest to keep rock disrespectful, anti-social and 'sick' go on forever ...

[@railgap]

I've F'd up and missed a lot of bands I should have gone to see, but I'm forever grateful I did not miss out on The Cramps. What a unique delight! They knew their audience expected a show, and they put in the effort, every time, playing and singing their asses off. RIP Lux, you fabulous maniac.

[@briannolan7818]

I agree.

[@jackal59]

God, they were fun, smart, and true fans.

[@Myeviltwin100]

1:53 I lost it at the Liberace Hot Nut Dispenser.

[@Iuxinterior]

that and when lux is just casually standing there in latex briefs talking about wally wood shooting himself

[@throughtheotherside420]

Best rock n roll couple ever! They jammed together man! Goals

[@pk6810]

Love these two. So weird and wonderful and it shows in their music.

[@genericusername337]

man, I was really hoping they would be relatable like this, so glad, love em more.

[@daphnetruman]

They are such wonderful people. I know Lux's gentle spirit is with God in heaven forever. Please come back Ivy, we love you so much! If not performing then producing new young bands. Rock and roll needs you desperately Ivy!!!!

[@robjones2408]

I saw The Cramps several times in the 1980s, and they were great. Lux was the missing link between early Elvis and Iggy. He was a fantastic performer. Still have their albums and singles on vinyl, they were truly original. I hope he is singing with Elvis and Gene (Vincent), wherever he is now.

[@unclefoiley819]

I saw the Stay Sick tour at the famous Hollyweird Palladium. It was a blast!!!! GOD BLESS THE CRAMPS!!!

[@pereztube2]

[@katkatkat5]

How can one NOT love Lux?

"Keep it unhealthy and sick like it'd supposed to be"

[@DugEphresh]

Sleep well Lux, Love you!

[@grahammcnamara4803]

The only bad thing about this is that its so short! I have never seen a Cramps interview. Super cool!

[@kromedome0101]

Saw them open for the Ramones at CBGB way back when. Miriam Linna on drums.

[@AleisterMeowley]

Can you imagine that record collection? I’d say it belongs in a museum but I don’t think anyone would appreciate it enough.

[@franciscovaldes2922]

The most fun band ever. Love Poison and Lux. Their music is true rock n roll with a touch of bad taste and good times. Miss you Lux.

[@fargoneaccumulator]

Thanks for this, I had another interview on VHS where Lux & Ivy talk about their MAD knock-off comics, her theramin, Dick Dale {sic} guitar, more MAD art, 3D slides, etc, but like a dum-dum I taped over it with 'rasslin' /Kung-Fu & nobody else has put it online.

[@GodSquadPartridge]

This is like a Portlandia skit.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

Especially with the leather creaking hahaha. I love it.

[@Iuxinterior]

I COULD TOTALLY SEE FRED ARMISEN PRETENDING TO BE LUX

[@smileylpsgirl]

i read this comment before the video loaded and now i can't take any of it seriously

[@muskratwiser4700]

Or documentary now

[@ryanmcallister2321]

"When we played there 16 of the inmates escaped" - How fucking cool is that? That is pure rock and roll

[@roshif-tv9xd]

I love the Cramps (RIP Lux)..I grew up in the greatest era of Rock...the Punk movement. My dad and ma exposed us to all genres of rock, but by far punk was their fav...I'm so thankful they weren't like most parents at the time...and like most of my friends parents. They never said, you can't listen to this, or that...this is the devil's music...they allowed is to experience life, art, and music and because of it we had and have a great appreciation for it, and life is so much better when u don't shut off your kids and let them see all sides of life...good and bad. Long live the Cramps!

[@jasonthunders78]

How deadly is that???!!!!...not only is Poison Ivy a GREAT Guitarrista....she is also a Mopar girl!!!!👍👍👍👍👍💪👊😊...too deadly eh!!... This is a cool interview!!!👍

I fucking love them. They’re in my top 5 next to misfits and other bands and my boyfriend is a metal head and we live in Oregon and I hope we have a house and fashion as cool as theirs when we grow up.

Imagine that collection oh man

[@littleghostfilms3012]

Only a real man can sashay around in latex briefs with such casual aplomb with his queen by his side and her hot rod trophy. Did John Waters secretly conjure Lux and Poison up? They rule the nether world of trash culture. FABULOUS!!

[@MrMHughes68]

Poison Ivy's latex outfit is incredible. She looks so sexy here, it makes my heart ache!

I'm jealous, I would love to get a personal tour of the Cramp House. You gotta appreciate when the camera zooms out and you realize Lux is in some kinda leather thong

[@elizabethperry2622]

It’s very much at home with Lux and Ivy. Hanging out in their underpants with their amazing B movie posters and Ivy’s hot rod trophy and still being the coolest people on the block.
