| T. Depression User Info... | Yeah...I gotta say, this hit me pretty hard yesterday. The Cramps are my all time favorite band (even though they hadn't put out a decent record in over 20 years). I have memories of listening to "Psychedelic Jungle" on the family stereo, at the age of 11/12, before walking to school in the morning...and singing "Goo Goo muck" in gym class. That band made my musical tastes what they are today. They not only vroasened my mind as to what punk-rock was, but they got me into rockabilly/hillbilly/50's rock'n'roll, 60's garage and even exotica and jazz. They indpired me to spend hours looking through musty records, comic and book stores. Even though they were only a great band for the fisrt 13 years of their career (and a parody of themselves for the rest of it)...they were still a GREAT band..and Lux was one of the best front men ever. Listen to "Songs The Lord Taught Us" and "Psychedelic Jungle:...two of the greatest punk-rock records of all time. - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 5:48pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | Yeah, this has been sad to hear. I'd only seen them well after they were done, but I knew what they stood for and how much that band meant to a lot of people I've been crazy about. Iconic. "It's hard to think of Lux Interior as dead, despite what reports say. Then again, it was always hard to think of him as alive" The rest is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/feb/05/cramps-lux-interior-dies - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 6:14pm | ||
| T. Depression User Info... | Gotta wonder why this git moved into the "Heavy" music section. What did the Cramps have to do with heavy music?!? Trashy or primitive...but absolutely not "heavy". - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 6:22pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | I dunno, I found it here. We've only got 2 sections, and I'd probably have put it here rather than "general" too. - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 8:41pm | ||

| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | I had an Uncle who lent me his copy of "Songs The Lord Taught Us" when I was 12 years old. It changed me forever and for the better. I never even thought that it would be possible for Lux to die... It's hitting me hard. I only got to see them once in 2000 (on my honeymoon no less!), and they were AMAZING! Lux was writhing all over the stage like some kind of snake puppet and Ivy was like a menacing statue. We lost a true original... - Thu, 5 Feb 2009 10:05pm | ||

| Chopper User Info... | 'What did the Cramps have to do with heavy music?!?' Relative terms are wonderful as well as heavily perceptive. What you call heavy I possibly wouldn't and vice versa. But in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? I thought not. - Thu, 12 Feb 2009 9:08pm | ||
| Trailer Park Boy Julian User Info... | Lux was a true visionary and I was shocked and saddened when I heard he had died. I saw The Cramps in '97 at Gracelands and they were a-w-e-s-o-m-e. So awesome, that I think some peeps are way over blowing the Cramps were washed up 20 years ago schtick. Regardless, I think a comment I read a few years ago summed up The Cramps legacy perfectly (paraphrasing): "The Cramps may be the only band in recorded history, whose debut album, featuring only two originals, deserved being described as seminal." Yup, Lux mined the trashy past for gold, and he delivered. - Sat, 14 Feb 2009 9:20pm Edited: Sat, 14 Feb 2009 9:28pm | ||
| sealion User Info... | I almost don't know where to start about this news. I was living in a float home outside of youbou, went to vancouver to Zulu records and asked is there anything fabulous and original happening out there? I walked out a copy of songs the lord taught us. There was then and is now nothing like it, anywhere. then came psycadelic jungle, the Drug Train video, and on and on with no apologies and no sellouts, and look on youtube for the legendary insane asylum gig. I'm Cramped. I'm Cramped. - Thu, 19 Feb 2009 8:15pm Edited: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 8:28pm | ||
