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