So sad Wayne has passed, he was a guy who lived it for real, he was no poser and he will be missed.

It’s a shame MC5 is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Janet Jackson is!!!🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mikewalsh7318]

Nobody you've ever heard of, NOBODY, was more electrifying or entertaining onstage than Wayne Kramer. An artist and entertainer who gave everything he had.

[@richardrybinski2320]

Brother Wayne is right on the money.....a great and influential musician and voice for social justice in this phony drug war and in the war against America's big business of imprisoning people...a prison industrial complex for profit incarceration system, especially against the poor and people of color. Anyway...I digress. The MC5 should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. Wayne Kramer is an American patriot.

I saw the MC5 just after the second album came out. They were at a teen club called The Note near Gun Lake in Michigan. I was 16. They blew that place to pieces. They played a new song called Sister Anne which didn’t come out until two years later when the third album came out. This club hosted every Michigan band that became household names later, when they were just beginning. Detroit rock and roll is THE GREATEST!!!

Mark Farner of Grand Funk said it best “Michigan people do two thing extremely well. Build cars and play guitars.”

My Dad freaked if he came home and the MC- 5 was playing. Cream he could tolerate- go figure

[@theinfidelH8]

My father toured with the MC5 and I was raised on their music. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to meet them and see them play a couple years ago in Detroit on the MC50 tour. Great fucking show.

[@melissatyree566]

How cute and sweet he is. Rest in musical peace Wayne.😢

[@benmccrary2698]

Spot on that Beethoven was a punk! Proof that this man gets it.

[@robnamowicz8073]

As someone who worked some of those venues in those times, remembering well too many excesses of the day, Wayne epitomizes my contention that time wounds all heels. We are all better for surviving, experience has beaten our swords into plowshares. Now he is harvesting the seeds sown. There was a time when he led the most exciting live band on earth.

[@walterfechter8080]

The MC5 were like a Fourth of July fireworks display on a stage. Intense! Bruisin'! Light the fuse and run! Thanks, Jim Kerr! Wayne Kramer (legendary!).

[@surfercrow]

Thanks Wayne 🙏💔 R.I.P.

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Wayne finally gets to start speaking about

[@Alanoffer]

I was lucky enough to see MC5 in London at the greyhound in Croydon , I had seen many bands up until that time but when MC5 came to town it was like an explosion , I can remember Fred sonic smith was we reign some weird cape it got caught on the tuners of his guitar and he flipped he took the guitar off and started swinging the guitar around from the cape how it didn’t brain someone I’ll never know , my friends and I were stoned out of our minds laughing it was an insane show and I’ll never forget it ,,I found out later in the seventies meeting other guys in punk bands that they had been there that night and I have a feeling that the start of the punk movement could have been born that night , all we had until then was hippie bands staring at their feet ,,,this was on another level. Thank you Wayne from a 72 year old who feels lucky to have been there
