Extensive and detailed biography of the wild, wacky guys who formed a band that would change the way we look at music, listen to lusic and influence a genre that is still vital today.Punk Rock.

The in-depth oral commentaries connect us to each member, told in their words. MC 5's formed a mind-expanding and mind-alterong band-fueled by a lust for life, sex, drugs and writing music.

Their influence of other bands, musicians and the actual sounds they produced was deep, many bands were formed after going to an MC5 concert. Anything could happen- and usually did. They have been called the godfathers of punk music and the brother of heavy metal music. Experiencing this band is an unforgettable experience no matter how you do.

There is so much information here, and tidbits about things that I have never read before. The guys commentaries share their growth as musicians and people, and their mischeif and fun. There is alot of info about the White Panther Party, and John Sinclair.
