Any love here for these guys?

Sadly, Lux, the vocalist died a few years back - but they stayed true to Rock and Roll til the very end. Musically accomplished no - but what they lacked in chops they made up for big time in attitude. I love 'em.

Huge fan and saw them many times in the 80s. Always loved the title of this one...

LOVE them - this is some footage I shot of them while in college, '83 - for a class! Afterwards, my girlfriend and i drove them to the airport I have pictures i can dig up from that night

Awesome HB! What kind of class was that?!

I hope Lux didn't say "bend over, I'll drive" HB!

no BUT- when i got there in the afternoon after sound check, he was SCREAMING in some guy's face - I'm like, "I have to meet this guy now?" I'm about 19. So after he reams this guy (sound guy i think) for about five minutes, hyperventilating, he turns to me and says calmly, "hey man what's up?"

Cool Band, have seen The Cramps live in Paradiso

The Cramps-Dutch TV special 1990

Saw them in 1990 at the old Aztec Bowl in San Diego...The Cramps and Ziggy Marley were the opening acts for the B-52's.

LOVE The Cramps - saw them many times. Forever in my top 5 all time favorite bands.

"Well you can't dig me, you can't dig nothin'
Do you want the real thing
Or are you just talkin'?"

The Cramps not only had released a lot of very good albums but they have (had?) a very good musical taste. Does anybody here ever heard about the "Lux and Ivy's Favorites"?

This is an awesome collection of 17 CDs compiled by a huge fan of them, and includes the best collection of rarely heard blues and rock and roll gems.

..... Garbage Man ...play LOUD ...that one'll sort the men from the boys

Yeah great tastes in music ... there's plenty of CD"s books etc listing their faves .... Australian Bruce Milne tracked down the originals
of the songs The Cramps had covered and kick started the Songs The Cramps Taught Us series ...



ROCKMAN

The Stones' Love is Strong reminds me of Human Fly.

The Trashmen's hit covered by The Cramps-Surfin' Bird
one of my favorite and this track live is awesome

This is probably the most insane rock'n'roll concert ever played by any band.

Great rock n roll, great titles. I believe they had an album called: 'Bad Music for Bad People'....good record, great name.

"Garbage Man" is one of the baddest-ass songs ever recorded. It's a favorite of mine.

Like the man said, "doggone!"
