- from the DVD 'Urgh! A Music War' better picture than the vhs rips!
1980-08-15 Santa Monica Civic - California - w. Julien Griensnatch (Julien Hechtlinger) on the second guitar. She also went by the names Julien Fugelsnuss, Julien Bond and Julien Eaglebauer after she left The Cramps. Before The Cramps she did play with the New York Punk Band 'The Mad' known for the "eyeball b/w I hate music" 45 (1978) and the "fried egg" EP (1980)
the dvd release from Music War is not recommended as they just did copy it from vhs... without adding a menu, no bonus material, ugly artwork... but it is still the best version from the movie so far..

Man, I always loved how Poison Ivy has this mixed look of bored and pissed on her face when she plays. A level of badass that most male guitars can't even get right.
Thank you 70s an 80s that started making music to where their is no limit it had to start somewhere,music is life.
She is so fucking hot for that
Like "Yup that is indeed my husband fucking and fellating a microphone"
She is so stone cold badass....she never shows even a flicker of weakness...I'm in awe...
She was born like that
Funny that off stage Ivy and Lux are the most wholesome and heartfelt love story in the history of rock and roll
Not sure about the wholesome part, but they were surely great.
@@lahaza6515 "Not sure about the wholesome part" 😆😅🤣😅🤣😅😆
Did you not see them LIVE? The story remained the same on stage. I was at their 30th anniversary show 10/31/06 in SF it turned out to be their second to last show. THANK YOU GOD FOR THE CRAMPS
I intuited their wholesomeness when I was a teenager, around the time this video was shot. Something so damn heartfelt and genuine about their love of American music and each other. It comes through in their music for sure, if you have an ear for those things.
Not really. You can be really into sex and dedicated to a single person.
I was 15 the first time I saw this footage. I decided right there and then I was going to be a "singer". A few months later I was in my first band and we played our first ever gig at a Bar Mitzvah. I did the whole Lux thing, with the lewd grunting and shoving the mic down my pants, and next thing I knew they had pulled the plug on us and told us to get the hell out. I was all in after that. Thank you Lux. Hope to see you on the other side some day.
And what happened next? Do you still sing? Are you in a band?
@@randythomastheinsecures5404
Great man! Do more like this.!
@@guardianobserver6593 I'm 55 and still raising kids, so playing in bands is only a side thing for me anymore, and ever since Covid started it's a non-thing. I played in several bands over the years, mostly in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. Nobody big. Mostly punk and garage. I never wanted to "make it". I just had a shit-ton of fun and made a few records. Did the road thing for a while. I started as a singer, moved to guitar, then switched to bass. I still do a lot of home recording, but I'm done with the whole 'music for a living' thing. I had a blast back when I was doing it, but that lifestyle would probably kill me today.
@@Brewzerr
But you still play guitar I mean. You didn't stopped at all.
Yup. This changed my teenage brain and I’m still not right. Wouldn’t have it any other way either
I have so much anxiety about his pants.
I thought low rise jeans of the 2000s were bad until I saw this.
🤣
🍆
I’m not the only one then 😆
@@ninarosebarber If memory serves we called that fabric "pleather"
I'm 62 years old and still enjoy the cramps
@mikeshow2303 If that's something to be ashamed of, there's a lot of shame going round.
63 and love both versions
@@adamgorelick3714well said
And that's why I don't use the house mics.
Rock 'n Roll needs to still be frightening and reflect something some people will never quite 'get'... Thank the maker for the Cramps carrying on that spirit.
deweypug You mean carried? Lux passed away 😭😢😢😢
Sangye Pema music never passes away
Armando Arrojo Damn straight! Yessir!
People get it but Rock n Roll is supposed to be a bit dangerous and raunchy.
Anna Vajda I think that’s what I said
In '77 and '78 I would spend every weekend at the Whiskey on Sunset Blvd... it was one of the prime LA venue for punk and ska. The Police, The Clash, Misfits, Runaways, The Jam, Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo... It was The Cramps shows that I remember best.
I was there with you my friend. But your list left out most of the great LA bands, Screamers, Weirdos, F-word, Dickies, Germs, Needles and Pins, Dils and of course Avengers from SF were there a lot. Great times from the end of the rock era!
And so many more... The Specials, Madness...
That is awesome dude! Seriously, the late 70's and early 80 was a golden era for music.
Lucky
You saw the Misfits back then?
this is one of the all time great rock videos...I may be a little prejudiced though...Julie is my sister!...my big regret is never seeing her play live...if you view other videos of this song you'll see that this one is by far the best....
John , I was very sorry to hear about Julien's recent illness. I hope she gets better, stronger , faster ! When The Cramps played in Dallas in '80 with your Sister on Guitar , it was , by all accounts , a defining moment. Reverend Horton Heat said it was the thing that made him want to go into a more Rockabilly direction. I have a Chicago show from Tuts' with Julien. Please leave a message here if you would like a copy , and we can get in touch about that.
@Fernando Cunha The Girl on right is 'Poison Ivy' the Bride of the Singer!
...the Girl on left is 'Julien Hechtlinger' aka 'Julien Grindsnatch'
That’s awesome!
That’s amazing! Another Dallas Cramps fan here❤️
I love that I don’t have to watch my ancient VHS copy of this anymore to get any Cramps fix.
@@biancachristie ... Thanks for making me realize how old my DVD player is...
I wish more people would have been so lucky to see the CRAMPS live . So much energy. mind blowing power.
They were a great live band indeed!
I saw them in the UK in 1986, Portsmouth.
@@Chris3141592 I saw them 1986 NYC 😸Lux coming out to the Elvis intro song in gold pants...perfection!
You could not be more correct in every way.
I can't even remember how many times I saw them but it was rapturous every time. Transcendental.
Mind blowing.
Almost a religious experience.
My biggest regret is not getting to see them with my husband.
He would have lost his mind over it. ❣️
One of my blood relatives is Johnny Burnette , a pioneer of Rockabilly . He passed away in 1959 but I'd say he is happily jamming with Lux up there in Rockabilly Heaven .
Your blood relative is a legend
That's wow! Indeed, JB a pioneer. You are one lucky one. One of my first records was Burnettes, "You're 16". I commented up there that the Cramps on this video harken up Jerry Lee Lewis "Whole Lotta Shakin" on the low down and builds it up, if you know what I mean.ua-cam.com/video/7f6m9T9qgtk/v-deo.html
Johnny Burnette has died in 1964.Memphis based RocknRoll Trio recorded fantastic Rockabilly,the he and his bruv moved to L.A. and was friends with Eddie Cochran,Ricky Nelson and the Everly Bros .Succesful songwriter for Ricky .Sadly he passed much to early.
Johnny Burnette is a legend. He was my first ever rockabilly hero when I was 16 and I loved his version of Tear It Up long before I got into The Cramps. He has the strongest repertoire of any rockabilly musician in my opinion. That's so cool you're related to him!
"Train kept a rolling" is the greatest "Rock n Roll" songs with "Honey Hush" a close second!! The Johnny Brunette trio were awesome 😎👍
This is perhaps the most important band in defining and bridging my musical endeavors into adulthood.
Could not have said it any better, Ken
So you obviously voted for 🌽 pop!😥
This performance will be 42 years old this year, jaysus and it’s still great.
5 years tomorrow...the world needs you now more than ever, Lux. :(
I saw The Cramps and Motorhead at the Pomona Valley Auditorium (The Green Room) back in 1978....The Cramps were amazing and Motorhead was so frickin loud my ears rang for several days.....🎤🎸🔥👊
Drugs are a hell of a drug
Stimulants by far
Mostly strychnine according to one of their songs lol
On the drug train.
The Cramps are a hell of a drug
@@Goggin68 The Sonics "strychnine"
Once again, The Cramps deliver an unparallelled performance & it still sounds great in 2020.
Quality never dies.
✌️✌️✌️✌️
know nothing about them do they still tour
It sound so dumb whats the draw
@@supme7558 It's fun & entertainment that only a true Cramps fan would understand.
So many years ago, we were on our way to the club to see the Cramps. Missed the sound check, but as we approached the back door, out came the band. We were curious to see what a Cramp ate for a pre-show meal, so we followed from a discreet distance. Lux had a shwarma and a coke. Ivy had a salad and Nick Knox just stood in the corner and smoked.
This is why I am sad for present and future generations who will never see the Cramps live.
There a some kids here in Orange County that do a great Cramps cover band called “Teenage Goo-Goo muck”…
This is priceless, I was 14 yr old when I first seen this back in the day and it blew me away. If Lux could kill....... back in the days when Rock N Roll was still very dangerous. The entire Urgh! a music war, is very well worth checking out.
Pure rockabilly!! One of the greatest bands of the world
This is barely rockabilly. Like the background yeah (even though the guitars go a bit too hard sometimes), but not with these vocals. Slightly rockabilly maybe
The greatest piece of minimalist rock and roll ever made.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and Murder the ghost is a good song by him
Best live rock and roll performance of all times. (rock and roll includes everything. rockabilly, psychobilly even rhythm and blues)
Godz! I wish I was there!
Christopher, you were there… Sitting two rows in front of me! 😮
I want someone to love me the way Lux loves his microphone
It’s kinda sad punk went from this to teenage love music and pop music
Depends on what punk you listen to. Here's some punk from around 2000 to now that's not teenage love music/pop music:
Hank Williams 3: ua-cam.com/video/90nyz0GmWCw/v-deo.html
F**ked Up: ua-cam.com/video/yhgOt7YFN0I/v-deo.html
A Day To Remember (yes, they are a pop-punk band from the 2000's, but they're also a bit of hardcore and metalcore): ua-cam.com/video/61ESVVk4bNk/v-deo.html
Some 2000's pop-punk that isn't just meaningless high school fluff:
Sum 41: ua-cam.com/video/kbg-CYJmKAU/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/DTIKGtUbRqU/v-deo.html
My Chemical Romance: ua-cam.com/video/HSAXVVl9BUU/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/ktpr-HxGJ0E/v-deo.html
It all depends on where you look.
There were plenty of punk bands that were making "teenage love music" and pop songs a couple years before this. There is also plenty of punk music now that isn't "teenage love music" or pop.
Terrible list if youre trying to prove punk isn't lame any more
Best live band I ever saw
Twice in Glasgow ❤️rock an fkn roll
Lux and Ivy, the true Rock'n Roll Lovers!
RIP Lux!
superior performance, saw them live in California in the 80's, crazy show!
The True Face of ROCK N' ROLL....R.I.P......Lux
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and Murder the ghost is a good song by him
@@geraldsucks I'll give it the 👁👁... Stay Hip....
So , ill say hands down, the most incredible performance of a band in my lifetime. The Bird, was.20mints of hanging and, da , da da, da, da, da, da, they were trying to pull him down.
Back in the 80s they rocked the fuck outta the Windy City! They were so much fun to see!! Always look back at this Urgh clip to bring back the awesome memories. RIP LUX !!
Which shows were you at , may I ask? Mother's? Tuts? Holiday Ballroom ? Aragon Ballroom? others? I DID'NT GET TO SEE THEM TIL THE METRO , '90 , and I'd been a fan for 9 years....
Saw this when I was in 9th grade... at that time a local stereo shop also sold Big UGly (BUG) satellite dishes and URGH! A Music War was on. Mind completely blown. Lux Interior was one of the greatest front men to ever grace the stage! R.I.P.
COME ON LITTLE MAMA...TEAR THIS DAMN PLACE UP!
Incredible version of this song! Lux was such a sexy panther, he's the epitome of everything I want in a frontman, they're all so fantastic I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw them way back when, life changing!
His pants are hanging on for all they're worth LOL
I had a CD back in the 80's.. Awesome !!!
Watching Lux in concert always made me feel like I was having an out of body experience....
Saw the Cramps five times back in the day - Lux ended up completely naked on stage twice. Hysterical - they put on some of the best shows I ever saw . . .
3:07 I think about this woman at least twice a week
I want to hear her memories of this show. She's completely GONE.
Damn! The world needs the Cramps! I really miss them but I'm glad I saw them in 2000.
Ivy looking great here. One of my all time favourite players.
She still looks great , too.
I saw them back around '85 in NYC. Lux was crawling around on broken glass, and bleeding all over his chest. Fun times.
Pure magic!
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
Love to see the faces in the crowd. Now all 60 years old kids…
I remember watching 'Urgh ! A Music War' on Superchannel in the 80's, and this was hands down the most-memorable & standout performance ... it's lamentable that today's music is akin to elevator muzak when contrasted to the halcyon daze of unbridled originality & creativity ...
OMG, first time listening this... BLOWN AWAY OMG
Cuando un grupo musical deja todo en el escenario.
I miss the Cramps soooo muchhhh....
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and Murder the ghost is a good song by him
Lux's pants are the real MVP
Lux looks like if Egon Schiele reimagined Billy Butcherson and then set him loose on American music. Love it.
Pants Fallin' Down Blues
This video is really good quality it looks like it could’ve been made yesterday
that was one of the greatest moments in the history of rock and roll. go mad daddy go.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and Murder the ghost is a good song by him
Aprecio todas las discusiones sobre este grupo que son tan geniales. Eran realmente desconocidos cuando eran desconocidos/activos... tocaban en vivo y existían. Puse discos con ellos en mi casa y la gente decía ¿qué es esto? Ni punk ni hard rock
flunitrazepam Dormí durante 4 días, eso está bien.
The most rock and roll that ever happened.
Probably play this clip 3 times a year, absolutely love the Cramps
Lux É uma das melhores figuras no palco. ..
This Live Performance should be in the metropolitan Museum of Art. And the Smithsonian. The Cramps are too great for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The only true symbol of what rock and roll is/was.
RIP Lux and rock and roll.
R.I.P.Lux keep rocking heaven.....
The older I get, the more I realise that The Cramps are way better than The Beatles
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
singers aren't always on drugs its the rush and excitement of sound. the sound is the drug
Beautiful sick music.
THIS is what Rock & Roll is supposed to be!
It completely is! Once you've seen The Cramps, nothing else comes close. I'm only 17 so it drives me mad that I never got the chance to see them.
Probably a '58 Explorer rockabilly rocking this damn place up.
No words 💔
Now That's fuken Rock And Roll!
LOVE THIS STYLE THEY CREATED. NOTHING COMES CLOSE. TARA AND PETER TAMPA
I showed this vid to some of the youngins ... they just did not get it & could not see the raw power of The Cramps! The best music is lost on the young ... 💀
Magical.
That performance blew my mind in the 80´s.. still does.
The spirit of Johnny Burnette brings me here.
Devo and Gang of Four in Urgh! are EPIC!!
I can't believe this is 40 years ago. Where the F did the time go. I remember slam dancing in CBGBs back then while UK Subs were on stage now everybody is old.
ladies and gentlemen, Lux Interior!
He should have been called Lux Exterior in this clip...lol
@@jamesbelljr7987•~Gobsmacked!!
I kept waiting for the Full Monty🥒🍑
@@muzicaempathica6479 I saw them around this time and Lux was dressed exactly as you see him here, only the scratches were in different places, we did get the Full Monty...numerous times.
truly a goddess
I was watching this at, I think, 17, when my mother entered the room.
Espetacular the cramps
Great group! Golden Age....
A little sweaty, but very good energy. Captures the period (1977-1983) beautifully.
This is what they mean by bad music for bad people.
My mom is conservative, she tripped over her vacuum cleaner trying to turn off the vcr when I played Urgh a Music War to try and turn this off 😆. I was about 14. She felt the same about the crush I had on Billy Idol. She was like "Oh Hell No pants falling off the ass"
"she tripped over her vacuum cleaner trying to turn off the vcr" LOL that's funny
Through skating and my mom playing very, very good music while growing up I learned about an insane amount of music. I asked my mom about the cramps when I was around 16 (I'm 31 - yeahyeahyeah "young and doesn't know half the shit we know"), and she just shook her head and said no, they're not for me. I guess it skips a generation. Time will tell.
Love the cramps
Best band on planet Claire!
Has anyone come close to this in the last 20 years?
Best Performance ever!!!!!
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
LEGEND
Fuck yeah
The risk factor of them trousers is giving me anxiety.
Julien Griensnatch 🥰😍
He should of ran for president !!!
this is the greatest video in this world
I love shit-sandwich collabs between talentless dreamers ❤ WELL DONE DANNY. This will blow up and change the game.
Never knew that 12-bar blues meant you went to 12 bars before you played 'em.
Rumor has it this quote was bumped to #1 in the all time greatest quotes catalog.
That's exactly what it means.
Good Music for Bad People...... RIP Man...
Decided to wander down memory lane and could only find tv footage of the cramps at first. Nice, but not what they were actually like live. This, however, is just what they were like live- absolutely perfect! My sixteen year old daughter had gone to bed just before I hit on this- wondering weather to show her. She's always heard their music, but I'm not sure she's ready for this. I made the mistake of showing her the Lovecats video when she was still in primary school and Robert Smith really freaked her out! Probably just as well there are no photos of me and my friends from back then! The Cramps were the best band ever, especially live, saw then many a time. I have the orgasmic part of Surfing Bird as my ring tone- people have been known to react with looks of alarm....
Lux for President
The Cramps Rock & Roll!!! The Cramps Rock & Roll!!!
wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
