They are in the RocknRoll Hall of Fame, in a manner of speaking. A bass drum Lux put his head through was put there as tribute to that wild man of music.

The Cramps are TOO GOOD for their shitty hall of fame. Lux wouldn’t have wanted them to be in it. He preferred keeping Rock And Roll sick, the way it should be.

@@chriskolb3105 I believe there shouldn't even be a R&R Hall of Fame. I think Lux and Ivy would agree.

I got to see them three times. Mid 90's and early 2000's they were amazing each time. First time I saw them in Portland their encore was about a 20 minute manic version of Surfin' Bird. I think he broke three microphone stands. In Seattle in the early 2000's Quintron opened for them. Quintron is a great band worth checking out too.

Great selection of bands there. I remember seeing the Ramones for the first time in Nottingham Rock City late 80s I think it was. And that was my turning point. I'd seen the Stranglers a week before and I just knew. But the Ramones did it for me. Having seen the Cramps many times too, they absolutely never disappointed. I remember poison Ivy playing and trying to wave Lux down off the speakers in Brixton Academy but he was enjoying humping them to much to notice. I do miss them

The greatest thing about Henry Rollins is that he still comes across as a music fan first despite his years as a successful front man himself. And one of my proudest moments was recording in a studio that the Rollins Band had just finished a session at. They had come into this studio in the UK at the end of a European tour, and they left their backline behind afterwards since it had been bought just for the tour. I got to play through a monstrous Mesa Boogie bass rig that was simply the best setup I've ever used.

100% he’s a fan. I played bass for the Dickies for about ten years. A show we did in 2004 for a Ramones tribute where the footage was used in Too Tough To Die. Henry was there. Watched our sound check, hung out backstage. But the best part was seeing him dance at the side of the stage during our set. Beyond cool.

Spot on. I saw them in Birmingham, England, in 1984 with friends, one of whom was Martin Duffy, now of Primal Scream (name drop, name drop!) We could have all gone backstage to meet them as one of our friends worked for Creation Records at the time, but I said no, basically because I was too scared! Of course I regret it now!

My mother stole Lux's glass of water and took it home. She was in love with him and kept it in her room. The morning after, she couldn't find the glass. She asked her father and he said "oh! I found it in your room last night and washed it." She was in tears. She couldn't believe her father washed Lux's glass. It didn't look any different from any other glass, my uncle took all of the glassware when they moved, who knows, they might still drink out of the same glass Lux drank out of on stage!

Saw The Cramps live opening for White Zombie. It was my first exposure to the band as I never heard them before. Growing up in Vegas in the 80's and 90's sucked for exposure to music. They put on a awesome set even regardless of the fact crowd was hostile. Lux was fearless. Became a fan.

@scott12xu 2 жыл бұрын

To be fair, the crowd at a White/Rob Zombie gig will be hostile to the opening act whoever it is. In the mid 1990’s, I saw the Melvins and Reverend Horton Heat treated like dirt from the WZ “fans” (I got in on the Melvins/Atlantic Records guest list in case you’re wondering). They had The Damned open their shows on an east coast trek in the early 2000’s. The Damned left the tour after three performances because of the hostile reaction the WZ fans gave them. Fuck WZ and RZ anyway.

My favorite Cramps show was on the Look Ma, No Head tour. I saw them at Iguana's in Mexico right across the border from San Diego (30 years ago this week, in fact). The cosmic symmetry of The Cramps in Tijuana was perfection. While on stage Lux drank two bottles of red wine, the second half of the second bottle was from a suede half-boot that someone had thrown on stage. A short time later, during The Strangeness In Me, I believe, he proceeded to fellate the microphone, a truly impressive feat.

I saw the cramps in tivoli Utrecht ( holland ) i think in 1985. It was a life changing moment. Been playing with my own bands ever since. Bless Lux the great. A sweetheart it was. Love Henry too. when i was an engineer at Paradiso Amsterdam in the ninetees he came running trough the front door with a marshall cabinet on his shoulder. We bought them raw herring and corn wine ( Dutch traditions we press on to some bands and they love it ) and we had a hell of a time! chapeau!
