{"product_id":"9780826416605","title":"MC5's Kick Out the Jams","description":"Author: McLeese, Don\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780826416605\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 15 Nov 2005\u003cbr\u003ePages: 136 Format: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Motor City 5 stormed the stage, the band combined the kinetic flash of James Brown on acid with the raw musical dynamics of the Who gone berserk. It's a unique band that can land itself on the cover of \u003ci\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e a month before the release of its debut album and then be booted from its record contract just a few months later. Rock had never before seen the likes of the MC5 and never will again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of us who were floored by the 5 in concert were convinced that this was the most transcendently pulverizing rock we would ever experience, while many more who heard or read about the band dismissed the 5 as a caricature, a fraud, White Panther bozos play-acting at revolution. There was always plenty of humour to the 5-visionary knuckleheads-though the question was whether they were in on the joke. Frequently ridiculed during their short career, they've since been hailed as a primal influence on everything from punk to metal to Rage Against the Machine to the Detroit populist resurgence of the White Stripes, Kid Rock and Eminem.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616114888862,"sku":"UBD-9780826416605","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780826416605.jpg?v=1773809422","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780826416605","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
