	16 Forever - Rob Tyner tribute
		It was almost 10 years ago now that Rob Tyner, lead singer of the legendary revolutionary rabble-rousers and punk precursors the MC5, died of a heart attack behind the wheel of his car in his suburban Michigan driveway, aged 47.
		Rob caught the rock'n'roll bug after hearing the Rolling Stones' amped-up take on electric blues and R&B. He was sitting outside a White Castle burger joint, blowing harp, when he encountered Wayne and they got to talking about Wayne's band, the Bounty Hunters.
		It's unsurprising that Rob was the first of the Five's founder members to leave the band, when he discovered he didn't enjoy the pressures of touring as much as he did the simple pleasures of home and family.

	Motor City Music - Rob Tyner
		Rob Tyner was born in Detroit in 1944, and lived in the area all his life.
		Rob had been the bass guitarist for the band but he was definitely not a bass player and left the group briefly, only to come back as their lead singer a few months later.
		Rob was interested in returning to the hard rock and roll roots and the band played old favorites, the by now famous MC5 songs, and new music which Rob had co-written with Robert Gillespie and Bill Wimble.

	Rob Tyner tribute
		Rob would start to free associate like jazz, on a tangent to the point that me and Fred would be on the floor, with our sides aching.
		Rob was amazing because he was able to project his voice through all that music and all that noise with an equal amount of energy.
		Rob just had huge power to hold his own off the sound levels that were coming off the stage.

	MC5 - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Alongside their Detroit-area brethren the Stooges, MC5 essentially laid the foundations for the emergence of punk; deafeningly loud and uncompromisingly intense, the group's politics were ultimately as crucial as their music, their revolutionary sloganeering and anti-establishment outrage crystallizing the counterculture movement at its most volatile and threatening.
		The Motor City Five formed in Lincoln Park, MI, in late 1964 by vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer, bassist Pat Burrows, and drummer Bob Gaspar; at the time, its members were still in high school, appearing at local parties and teen hangouts while clad in matching stage uniforms.
		As the years went by, however, MC5's influence expanded; punk, hard rock, and power pop all clearly reflected the band's impact and by the 1990s, they were the subject of a steady stream of reissues and rarities packages.

		This was a compromise that Tyner was never very comfortable with, and out of respect for the MC5 and their fierce legacy, we present this music under its proper moniker, THE ROB TYNER BAND.
		Rob Tyner and Robert Gillespie originally hooked up, jammed and wrote songs together for about six months starting in late 1976.

	Rob Tyner- MC5
		It was Tyner’s stage antics and persona, his unbridled energy and ability to "run down the situation" for his audience, as much as the twin guitar attack of Wayne Kramer and Fred Smith and the precision groove of Dennis Thompson and Michael Davis, which defined the MC5’s image ---- embodied the spirit of the 5.
		Following the breakup of the MC5 in 1972 Rob Tyner expanded on his abilities as a lyricist, honing his skills as a writer and journalist and serving for a time as a contributing editor of CREEM magazine.
		Rob Tyner’s graphic art, while largely unknown outside of a small circle of family and friends, testify to his formidable abilities as a visual artist.

	fred "sonic" smith (important to patti smith)
		Under the guidance of radical writer John Sinclair, the 5 were dangerous, using guitars as their weapons of choice in the fight to change the world.
		The MC5 -- Smith, Rob Tyner on vocals, bassist Michael Davis, drummer Dennis Thompson, and Wayne Kramer, the other half of the band's guitar tag team -- created rock and roll that was a confrontational assault on the status quo.
		And in 1992, Sonic participated in a reunion of remaining MC5 members at a memorial for Rob Tyner's family (Rather eerily, Tyner died of a heart attack in November 1991; three years to the month before the same fate claimed Smith).

	The MC5 and Wayne Kramer
		By the end of the decade Smith had ended up meeting Patti Smith and becoming her husband; he spent the 80s and early 90s living in retirement with her, before dying in 1994.
		Recorded at a single Halloween show and "produced" after a fashion by Elektra records masterminds Jac Holzman and Bruce Botnick, this is a muddy, messy, ear-busting live album that captures the band's feral intensity and angry left wing politics, but doesn't communicate the rock 'n' roll mastery they got across on their next two discs.
		Their blazing take on the roots rock standard "Ramblin' Rose (a 1962 hit for Nat "King" Cole) is set apart by Tyner's wild-eyed falsetto, and the stomping, early Hendrix-like "Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)" has one of the greatest guitar licks of the late 60s.

		Officially, the MC5 "died" in 1972 after singer Rob Tyner left and the band fell apart in a haze of disappointing record sales, internal conflict and drug problems.
		The saxophones and gongs and drums came out as Tyner was rapping, and then everyone merged in a non-electric orgy of music and feeling, chanting, dancing around and jumping up and down with glee in the faces of the outraged police bandits."
		Singer Rob Tyner died in 1991 and guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith died in 1994.

		Sadly, the MC5's lifespan was cut short, as were the lives of frontman Rob Tyner and guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, both of whom died in the '90s.
		When the (radicals) came in, they expected us to ignite their revolution and Tyner was very clear that he did not come there to burn the place down.
		And like Dennis said, we tried to reason with them out in the streets, all these speed freaks and junkies and anarchists raising ideological questions and philosophical dilemmas and we're trying to address their questions as knives are flashing in the background.

	MC5 Biography : Oldies.com
		Tyner's cry of "Kick out the jams, motherfuckers" led to the album being banned in several record stores, and prompted Elektra to release a censored version (substituting the expletive with "brothers and sisters").
		The MC5 was dropped from their label's roster following several disagreements, and to compound matters Sinclair was sentenced to 10 years in prison for marijuana possession.
		In September 1991, Tyner died of a heart attack in the seat of his parked car in his home town of Ferndale, Michigan.

		Re: "Returning to the scene of the crime" (Metro Times, June 7), I am interested in Wayne Kramer's history and current practices relative to the MC5 because I worked as a graphic artist with the band from 1966 to 1971, and subsequently with all of the members in their post-MC5 musical incarnations.
		Wayne's blame-shifting for the breakup of the band from himself to Rob Tyner and Fred Smith, neither of whom are alive to defend themselves, is a new low for him.
		Hackney, it was the MC5's legendary MC Jesse Crawford and Rob Tyner that would address the crowd as "brothers and sisters," not Wayne Kramer, as you said.

		And the music itself moved as much as I remembered, better--because I could see it, I guess--than the record.
		While Kramer repaired a guitar string, Tyner rapped.

	The MC5's Kick out the Jams song-recording the MC5's Classic Track
		The MC5 comprised vocalist Rob Tyner, guitarists Fred “Sonic” Smith and Wayne Kramer, bassist Michael Davis and drummer Dennis Thompson.
		By the time they signed with Elektra, The MC5 became legendary throughout the Midwest for their incendiary live shows, notable not only for their explosive original material, but also for Tyner and the band's testifying stage banter that was a stew of radical politics and James Brown throw-down soul-revue incitement.
		It was almost an afterthought, a ‘We need something here that breaks the action and is a little relief from the heaviness.’ So we wrote that simple little riff and Rob [Tyner] was banished to the dressing room to come up with some lyrics.

		MC5 singer Rob Tyner and guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith have left us, of course, and it’s difficult to imagine the 5’s music absent them.
		The bellows was the Grande Ballroom, where the MC5 became the house band and, eventually, one of the great live acts of the era, its meld of crunch, distortion, feedback and yowling vocals often surpassing the stage power of visiting acts like the Who and Jimi Hendrix.
		The wild stage antics of Tyner and company and the freaky fashions that were equal parts hippie, glam, grunge and punk are almost eerie in the way they echo so many other rock icons that came later.

	Rob Tyner Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It's worth contemplating as a legacy from a little-documented and much maligned part of his career, when this band gigged as the "New MC5" and incurred the wrath of former cohorts in crime Wayne Kramer (from behind Jail Guitar Doors) and Fred "Sonic" Smith (who was gigging his Rendezvous Band wherever he could).
		The Five they're definitely not, but the Rob Tyner Band still rocks out just like you'd expect Dee-troit boyz to.
		For what it's worth, I think this Rob Tyner aggro whupped the tar out of the later, metallic line-up that cut "Blood Brothers.." Rob's in fine voice, and his audience raps sound heartfelt.
