2.0 out of 5 stars what a shame, July 10, 2004

This review is from: Sonic Revolution - Celebration of the MC5 (DVD)

It's a real shame that the incredible MC5 documentary "MC5: A True Testimonial" is held up in litigation so that this far inferior DVD can come out first. The main feature is the reunion/tribute performance, which is limp and boring. A number of punk & post-punk bands have reunited lately to show that they can still kick ass, MC5 is not one of them. I really hope that "A True Testimonial" gets an official DVD release eventually. As anyone who's managed to see it in festivals etc. will attest, it's much more interesting & exciting and touces on some darker aspects of the bands compelling history. Come on guys, sort out the money crap and let the story be told! If you want to attract new fans to the music, Sonic Revolution wont do it.

there nothing worse than seeing your heros mix with substandard fill ins to create a commerical waste of space, real fans want the real testimonial now- see the real band in pixelated glory on youtube and save your money until the true testomonial is released and not bootlegs selling for over a hunderd dollars,

5.0 out of 5 stars Brother Wayne Kramer, Dennis Thompson, & Michael Davis, December 28, 2004

This review is from: Sonic Revolution - Celebration of the MC5 (DVD)

Packed to the seams with special guests, archived footage, and content, Sonic Revolution is a spectacular dvd; it's only fault coming from the slightly weak audio mix that is presented for the concert aspect. Through repeated watching, it'll grow on you, just as the original MC5 should have, (if you're unitiated get up, run to the store, and pick up their revolutionary debut, Kick Out The Jams immediatly.)

On loan from his band the Hellacopters, Nicke Royale rips it up on the second guitar, (filling in for the unfortunatly deceased Fred Smith,) and gives more than fair vocal offerings to "Gotta Keep Movin'" and "American Ruse." Lemmy from the legendary Motorhead puts his vocal styling into a ripping version of "Sister Anne," while Dave Vanian of The Damned, a long time fan of The MC5, boogies and tries his passionate and energetic best hand, (often with sucess,) at "Tonight," "Looking At You," and "High School," as Ian Astbury fronts what is perhaps the climax of the show when he puts his soaring energy and gold-plated lungs into the helm of a stirring "Kick Out The Jams."

Right now it's time to...kick out the jams.
