MC5 Co-founder and Leader Wayne Kramer Dies at 75

Wayne Kramer, the guitarist, singer and songwriter who co-founded and fronted the massively influential MC5, has died, his family said.

Kramer, who reformed the band in 2018 after a stint in prison in the 1970s and subsequent solo career, was 75 and died Feb. 2 from pancreatic cancer, the family’s statement said.

“He will be remembered for starting a revolution in music, culture and kindness,” the family said.

Alice Cooper mourned his “longtime friend - and sometimes collaborator” on social media: “Wayne Kramer. R.I.P.”

“He was my favorite person in the world,” Jill Sobule said of Kramer. “So beloved. I was lucky to have him in my life.”

Outside of his music career, Kramer founded Jail Guitar Doors, which provides acoustic guitars to incarcerated people.

“Rest in power to a brother who dedicated his life to being part of the solution,” Third Man Records said in a statement.

The MC5 released three LPs during its initial 1969-1972 run and is best known by the public for “Kick out the Jams.” Musicians felt the impact more deeply.

A “saddened” Vernon Reid ticked off Kramer’s many guises: “Punk-rock pioneer. Inmate-rights reformer. Author. Human-rights activist. Anti-violence advocate. Guitar badass. And major dude.”

Kramer was “the greatest man I’ve ever known,” Tom Morello said, adding that every time he’s in the studio, “the rawest, fastest track ha(s) the working title ‘MC5.’”

“Whenever and wherever any of us kick out the jams, Brother Wayne will be right there with us,” Morello said.

Or as the Dictators put it: “No MC5, no Dictators.”

SWEET JANE IN HER FINEST SPACE ACE DISGUISE -- THIS IS PURE SUPER-SEVENTIES DESIGN.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a Jane Birkin-KISS/Ace Frehley mashup piece, the final flyer/poster design for a DIRTY FENCES gig in Barcelona, Spain, on November 26, 2015, and reportedly inspired by "Sophie Primrose obsessions." Artwork by Barcelona-based graphic design collective, Branca Studio.

"Satisfying a youthful obsession with early KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE, then discovering the fortunate truth of THE DICTATORS and RAMONES, DIRTY FENCES have finally slammed into the Slovenly path with the new album, "Full Tramp.""

-- BRANCA STUDIO, c. fall 2015

Rest in perfection, Jane Birkin (1946-2023), another legend lost -- keep on rockin'!

The Dictators opened up for The Damned at The Regency Ballroom last week. They have been considered one of the most influential proto-punk bands hailing from NYC in 1973. It was such an honor to capture this legendary band.

En las demos de 1975 de los Dictators destaca una demoledora versión de “Interstellar Overdrive” de Pink Floyd en la que insertan un trozo de “A Question of Temperature” de The Balloon Farm tan ricamente. Los otros tres temas de la cinta son “Tits To You”, “Too Much Fun” y “Dogs”, una versión primeriza de “Young, Fast, Scientific“.
