MC5 Drummer's Words for Young Musicians - Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson

MC5
2000s2000DocumentaryInterviewRare

MC5 Drummer Dennis "Machine Gun Thompson" words for young musicians. Interview by UEF circa 2000. All of the MC5 and drummer Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson are People with Passion who Change the World. This is his message to young musicians. I got to know them during the years i spent recording them live. They were and are great guys who really rock! Their chemistry and spirit is memorable - and this is what they really sounded like on stage - before the record contract and music industry hit them. United Earth Fund is a nonprofit 501c3 corporation. Historic Detroit Rock & Roll audio documentary and historic LIVE recording. Go to UEF1 . org for more!

About MC5

MC5 was an American rock band formed in Lincoln Park, Michigan, in 1963. The classic lineup consisted of vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Wayne Kramer and Fred "Sonic" Smith, bassist Michael Davis, and drummer Dennis Thompson. MC5 were listed by Parade as one of the best rock bands of all time and by VH1 as one of the greatest hard rock artists of all time. The band's music is widely recognized as influential, and their 1969 song "Kick Out the Jams" has been covered by many artists.
