Many thought that ‘Kick Out the Jams’ was a slogan for 1960’s revolution and liberation,but MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer explained the real meaning,’We first used the phrase when we were the house band at a ballroom in Detroit and we played there every week with another band from the area.We got in a habit of screaming at them to get off the stage,to kick out the jams,meaning stop jamming.Now,I think people can get what they like out of it,that’s one of the good things about Rock ‘N’ Roll.’
The MC5 were formed in Detroit,Michigan in 1964,the ‘MC’ stands for motor city and there were five original members.The bands political views and anti-establishment lyrics and music made them forerunners and innovators of Punk Rock which was still many years away in 1969.
‘The wailin’ guitars girl,the crash of the drums,makes you want to keep a rockin’ till the morning comes.’
