Malchik Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 MC5 bassist, Michael Davis, has died of liver failure at 68. What an awesome band.
MrNylon Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 They were on tour with Alice Cooper in 1972.
EVOL! Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Dang. Rest in peace, brother. All love and respect to the Motor City Five!
pfox14 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Me and Iggy were jammin with Ziggy and kicked it with the MC5 - Alice Cooper
EVOL! Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Wow I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea who either the band or the player is, but RIP Bro... Then you need to get wise to these jams, brother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM6nasmkg7A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEi1-FSec24&feature=related
martinh Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Sad. I must have played " Back in the USA" about a million times when I was a teenager. I assume there's only Kramer, Smith and Thompson left now? Being in the MC5 seems only fractionally more healthy than being in the New York Dolls.
T Bone Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Sad, another native Son of the Detroit area moves on. They were one of the area's first Jam Bands, described now on Wiki as Proto Punk. They were innovators. Loud, hard rocking and in their element, they blazed trails for others to follow, such as Grand Funk Railroad and Iggy Pop and The Stooges, and brought Detroit notoriety for sounds other than the classic Motown sound of the 1960's. RIP Man, Kick Out The Jams!

Fred Sonic Smith passed away years ago. Sad indeed.
