Yeah, they did a tour with Wayne, Michael, Dennis (remaining original members), and Nick standing in for Fred and Rob, which is quite the impressive feat.
This is the best cover mainly because both Nick and Robert obviously have a true love for the MC5, even copying Sonic and Wayne Kramer's moves, like at 1:22 (from motor city is burning Beat Club), 1:28 (pure wayne lick), and 2:45 (from kick out the jams at wayne state university).
Yeah! I loved it, can't compare to the masters mc5, but the song is all about rock n roll, its always a nice tribute, like the rage against the machine cover aswell, live of course,
@lucasmoreira I died a little inside the instant I heard they'd be breaking up. The were one of the few modern bands who kept Rock and Roll alive and kicking!
Little wonder Entombed covered this as Nicke used to play drums in Entombed prior he formed Hellacopters & "Kick Out..." was in the last record he did with Entombed...
I thought it was an Epiphone Wilshire Tremotone. I guess this is a 1966 Model because the Re issue was later in 2011. The guitarrist was really good. R.I.P.
there cover is good but i rekon that the rage against the machine cover is better but i give them propps for giving 1 hell of a show its great ace 5/5 XD
Because nothing could ever come close to beating the live version. Much would have been lost in a studio version. Besides I never wudda been able to be there if it was a studio version. Maybe you wudda have to have grown up with the 5 and been there to appreciate the live performances???
@MOTORCITYROCKERZ You're outta line. Nicke Andersson can sing this song in any fucking way he wants. That's what it's all about. And besides, no one will ever be able to replicate Tyners vocals anyways. So what's your problem?
I love the Hellas and I love the MC5, props for covering a great song but I have to say I don't think Nicke's voice is a good match for this track. It's still OK just not up there with their usual bad assness. I would love to hear the Hellas play this with the lead singer of Baby Woodrose, now that would be fresh.
because velvet revolver is pure moddish, green day sucks, audioslave was just a simple record company production and the foo fighters just wanna know about playing in great arenas. Besides all that, The Hellacopters are te best band in history
