| | By the time I was released from prison late in 1971, the MC5 was well along its protracted slide from the musical and commercial peaks the band had reached in 1970 to its ignominious demise in the final minutes of 1972. | | | But the essence of the MC5 was in its songs and the high-energy methodology the band developed to deliver them, and those are the core elements brought back to life by the DKT/MC5 celebration band. | | | MC5 singer Rob Tyner and guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith have left us, of course, and it’s difficult to imagine the 5’s music absent them. |

| | washingtonpost.com: The MC5, Kicking Out the Jams |
| | The bellows was the Grande Ballroom, where the MC5 became the house band and, eventually, one of the great live acts of the era, its meld of crunch, distortion, feedback and yowling vocals often surpassing the stage power of visiting acts like the Who and Jimi Hendrix. | | | Which was smart, given the furiously improvisational live concerts the band was known for. | | | Which could serve as the epitaph of the MC5, whose recording career lasted just four controversy-filled years and earned the members recognition as forefathers of punk and grunge, though they are often little more than a footnote in most rock histories. |

| | MC5- A True Testimonial |
| | Detroit's MC5 were one of the most electrifying acts to ever storm a Rock & Roll stage and their performances in the late 60's are the stuff of myth and legend. | | | It is this 'garage-aesthetic,' with its celebration of snotty-bad-attitude-teen-libidos fueled by loud-ass guitars, which is the impetus behind the MC5's sound and image and the common thread that runs through all of their subsequent incarnations. | | | High Time is an amazingly intelligent record, power-packed and nimble and full of cautionary tales from a band bloodied but unbowed. |

| | Splendid: Departments: &: MC5: 'Kick Out the Jams' DVD |
| | No one can argue with the fact that the MC5 were one of the 1960s' best live bands, and given their relatively modest output -- just three albums, really, plus a smattering of dubiously recorded live CDs released after their 1972 breakup -- any addition to the catalogue is welcome. | | | The songs are mostly drawn from that debut album, the first major label recording to include the phrase "Motherfucker", and even today it stands alongside The Who's Live At Leeds as one of the best live records ever made. | | | The audio is mostly terrible -- you can hardly hear the singing on opener "Looking At You", for instance -- and that's puzzling, because it's obviously not the audio that goes with the film. |

| | MC5 |
| | What MC5 didn't have a true mastery of was songwriting - as with most proto-punk and garage bands, their efforts at creating well-crafted memorable songs were hardly anything more than mediocre. | | | Like their 'brethren', the Stooges, MC5 put up all kinds of "performances", but in the end, mainly due to the evident professionalism of the band's two guitarists, these 'performances' actually amounted to some real kick-ass music. | | | Thus, if you wanna hear the MC5 in all of their creative glory, and songwriting and studio artistry is more important to you than the Spirit of Equality, head straight to the studio albums. |

| | Though raw and sometimes slapdash, "MC5: A True Testimonial" goes a long way in explaining why that happened, most notably through the raw power of the band's music and the fiery passion that was bound with its image. | | | The wild stage antics of Tyner and company and the freaky fashions that were equal parts hippie, glam, grunge and punk are almost eerie in the way they echo so many other rock icons that came later. | | | The story and tone turn disagreeably draggy and maudlin at the end when the excitement dissipates, drug use kicks in, the band members splinter and Kramer gets misty-eyed at the memory. |

| | The MC5 was, essentially, four greaser rock and milers with a poet/beatnik singer. | | | Although their message was completely on track with what was going on in contemporary music, their music itself was far too loud for the mellow hippies on the West Coast--the MC5 wanted to drink, fuck, and fight through their revolution, not pick flowers and hold hands. | | | Mark Arm filled in on vocals, Marshall Crenshaw (a Detroit native) was called in for guitar duties, and Evan Dando was brought in to sing a few songs as well. |

| | The roots of punk rock also lie in the abrasive, dissonant style of the Velvet Underground, the Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5, the UK pub rock scene, and glam rock groups such as The New York Dolls. | | | An important feature of Punk Rock was a desire to return to the directness of early rock and roll. | | | Shortly after this, Lenny Kaye began performing avant garde proto-punk music with poet Patti Smith, so this would seem to lead directly to the use of the term by the music we now know as punk. |

Thomas's loving, clear-eyed tribute to the Detroit rock band MC5 is everything a rockumentary should be and usually isn't. | | | The band padded the peace-and-love philosophy of its psychedelic contemporaries with copious helpings of drugs, sex, and political outrage, inviting critical indifference, corporate censorship, run-ins with the law, and the familiar interpersonal turmoil -- all of which combined to derail MC5 after only three albums. |

| | But as with most chronicles of a rock group's rise and fall, this "True Testimonial" is engaged with the glory and the echoes, the bright dreams and the sour reverb, the legacy and the ruins. | | | Neither of the two albums released during the brief, turbulent run of these Detroit-based rock-and-roll guerrillas quite conveys the convulsive, in-your-face impact they had in live performance. | | | But it's when you witness an air-tight yet fiery 1970 outdoor performance of "Looking at You" that you understand why these guys inspired so many different tangents - heavy metal, glam, punk, new wave, grunge - of rock music's increasingly stratified destiny. |

| | MC5 - KRAMER UPSET WITH MC5 FILM |
| | After Kramer learned about the pending DVD and theatrical releases of the film, he asked WARNER-CHAPPELL MUSIC, which handles the group's music publishing, to withhold a license for the use of the band's songs in the film. | | | Kramer claims documentary makers LAUREL LEGLER and DAVE THOMAS promised he would be credited as a music producer and, as a result, he was interviewed for the film, and says he was instrumental in securing the participation of other "key players". | | | The guitarist is far from happy with the finished MC5: A TRUE TESTIMONIAL film, and has prompted the RCA VICTOR GROUP to cancel the 4 May (04) release. |
