MC5 - Black To Comm Lyrics

Rob Tyner looks like Tommy James.

Yep! Here in 2019 Lovin these 😘

Wow, saw the comment from another fan who saw them at the Grande! Those were the days! We were so lucky, lived in some of the best times, with some of the best bands ever. The acid was amazing too, can’t believe I am so old and boring now! The MC5 were one of God’s gifts to Detroit, it was a great time for a City that was also great in the day. Miss you MC5, miss you Grande!

How Dennis Thompson fucks up at the end of the song is one of the most hilarious and greatest moments of Rock & Roll!

Spaceman 3 brought me here <3

Good riff, nonsense lyrics/singing. If the MC5 had had a good front man they could have been as great as The Stooges.

sirlordcomic holy shit do i agree with you. I always hated this guys vocals

Takes me back to The Grande Ballroom in Detroit. I was there when they recorded their live album. They were the fabulous MC5.

Paved the way for Spacemen 3 (check out 'Revolution').

how? it's two fucking chords. totally different lyrics, delivery, totally differnt production, different drum beat, different energies. I came here because someone made the same stupid comparison on the spacemen 3 song. To say that the mc5 invented two chord songs is not only ignoring the history of the guitar and blues, but also ignoring all ancient music from greece and India. Just cuz your pop tells you someone invented something doesn't make it true.

Also I'm pretty sure every 13 yr old invents this riff when they learn power chords for the first time, remember to credit them for paving the way

Amazing group with unlimited energy...but hamstrung by pathetic production of their studio recordings. Man, what they could have done with the right people around them...

I’m 53

Todd Muckelvane I'm 16

I didn’t know I was mc5 call me if u wanna jam7143453789

imitating james brown, his hero.

Descobrindo agora a banda por conta da tv Brasil. Show

mc5 greatest band ever wish they were still around

end reminds me of "Forming" without the commentary

One of the best Bands ever!!!

end of.verse 1 "it's black to comm"

best black to comm EVER even with no Sonic Smith in the mix till the "solo". tight as fuck...till the end.

No way this was in 1972! I dont even think Rob Tyner was in the band anymore in 1972... either way I love this band though!

saw them live in 1972. it's true dude

Doctor Destiny Beat Club TV gig. the broadcast had all psychedelic stuff over the blue screen. '71 was probably the tightest MC5 sets ever. '72 was the last year of the original MC5. Wayne went away not to many years after to (I think) Lexington Narcotics Hospital - and they closed in..'77 maybe?

I like Fred "Sonic" Smith here. And other shit he's done. Coulda been a cruiser might of been a bruiser. There was a time when punk was smash mouth. His shit is sung with authority. Authenticity. He was at his best here. I love this stuff. Crude, brutal belt out blast of shit in a hard tone.

coolest rickenbacker ever. with gibson original pafs

Rob Tyner is my hero.

Guy had an epic 'fro.

dnatz58 epic voice man...

It's a great game.

ur mama's -=#;P

Lucky bastard

from america, this is one called... blacktocomm

I remember Motor City 5 at the Grandy Ballroom Halloween 1968

Check out Sonic's Rendezvous Band.

New Number? "Black To Comm" was a staple of their live set, almost since they formed.

THIS SONG IS AWESOME

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

@drunknifo a Rickenbacker 450/12 mapleglo strung as a 6 string

I like tyner's "Michael Strahan Gap" in his teeth.

That's not Michael Davis on bass.

Rop Tyner was the soul of Punk/Garage/Rock n Roll

This is on BEAT Club you can tell from the Orange Amps and Mics

@soundboy3115 People who are paying money for a gap must be retarded.

thissunzzcallled...BLACCTOCOM

I love, love, love this song ....!

this is detroit

facepalm at 1:47

Jakub Lemiszewski what a shitstorm from poor Fred... song died right about 1:40 & there are great 8 minute Black to Comm cuts... Missed Rob's facepalm there tho

Tyner had the best 'fro tower EVER! I think I see an elevator and a fire escape in it.

Great band Great style great tunes But Rob Tyners head was wrong lol

@spadge321 im curious, what were the 3 good uk punk bands your thinking of?

Grandaddys of punk

@EliRod003
Epiphone Wilshire!
Look it up! =)

What kind of guitar is Wayne Kramer playin?
Looks awsome! :)

damn straight he does!!!

sonic rules

a rickenbacker.

brilliant

DIG THE AFRO

You're right! That is Steve Moorhouse.

That's Steev Moorehouse on bass.

This is from the late-period Five, when they hired an English bass player, the superb Derek Hughes. (Michael Davis was too strung-out on heroin to play.)

After that, the the greatest band of all time collapsed.

Great quality upload! 'kin' genius...

Tyner had better moves than the king of pop!

Legendary Anthem from the 5

really badass!!!!!!!

I never get tired of these guys

Ladies and gentlemen...
Mr Fred "Sonic" Smith.
