WOW ! I`m well jealous , The Cramps were so cool and they had a good, cult fan base here in the UK. I wore my Smell Of Female T shirt with pride , telling people it was a scratch and sniff T shirt. I even got refused a pint of cider in one pub as the bar maid found it offensive.
What Lux said about living the part was exactly what they did. It seems almost incomprehensible that these two found each other and yin-yang'd so perfectly into an impossibly cool couple. As sad as it is that Lux died, I feel worse for Ivy. The loss..
Lux: "I know people who are 18 who are old and boring..." That was me, but I was a Cramps fan of some kind... Never bought an album, but recorded them off college radio all the time... Still have their songs in my head, after 35 years...
Words of wisdom and so eloquently put. Can't get enough of the rock and roll from the 50's to the present. I recently discovered the great Roy Loney's solo albums. He was the front man of The Flamin' Groovies.
This Welshman is gonna keep the spirit of Lux and the Cramps alive here in the South Wales valleys of the UK. Just ordered my Psychedelic Jungle t-shirt which I will wear with pride in the face of all the fierce opposition from One Direction fans to Beyonce clones and, worst of all, Sheeranites and Bieberites!
I saw the cramps live when I was 16, and before the show we got totally fukin wasted, and me and my girlfriend were getting it on in the burger king bathroom, and we got to the show and they came on and I was down in the pit and got punched in the face, no big deal, and I was watching this show with a bloody lip and havin the time of my life, pretty much everything he's sayin here is the absolute truth, we were just out there to go completely crazy on it
I think that Lux Interior would have made a great Herman Munster or a stand- in for Boris Karloff and I think that he would have considered it an honour that I thought of him in that vein. Humble, self-effacing guy and sadly missed!
Huge fan of The Cramps here, i heard lux say in this interview that they are not interested in playing 50s songs, but a portion of their work is covers of songs from 50s, granted they always had their own material and i love their 50s songs reinventions, i just wonder if he said that because it was 90s and they had fewer covers and more original songs as i remember, just curious because i was a bit puzzled, hope someone can give their opinion on this, long live The Cramps!
Seems to me that he was truly a friendly calm guy, between all that weird extremes - engaged to explain things with knowledge and as good as possible ...- as imho the REAL COOL guys do !
The "sexual intercourse" of so called Rock and Roll became a sellable product, that was the problem, but I know he is talking about something much deeper, something missing from mainstream music today. He is definitely right about adulthood being a huge con though. Bang on.
As Lemmy would say every time Motörhead took the stage “We are Motörhead and we play Rock ‘n’ Roll”. So many great bands are rock n roll, for example early AC/DC with Bon Scott, early, Guns and Roses even early Metallica. Hawkwind, JJ Cale, New Model Army, John Lennon, George Harrison, The Stone Roses and the Strokes to name but a few,
Lux had kind of an Elvis meets Frankenstein meets a vampire in drag kind of look. One of the greatest rock performers and legends. RIP
Rick Jones definitely. I grew up listening to the Cramps. RIP Lux.
Too true m8!!
He didn't really look like a Doctor.
The things that you thought as a youth is where it's at. What a great thing to say. RIP Lux you legend.
Yes totally agree Lux hes was ahead of our time he understood hes audience and he new where it was going!
Lux, you're gonna live forever my mad daddy.
I am so honored to have worked with the cramps for a decade.... I loved their house with the dungeon and the Tiki Lounge....

Lux was on point . Rest in peace.
Prefect description of rock n roll
Lux the ambassador of cool and rock n roll preaching the truth! RIP
Lux's comments about Rock 'N' Roll vs "Rock", that's great stuff!

Thank you .
I wish Kristi still came out once in awhile.I adore her and her great guitar playing.
I think that Lux Interior would have made a great Herman Munster or a stand- in for Boris Karloff and I think that he would have considered it an honour that I thought of him in that vein. Humble, self-effacing guy and sadly missed!
For the love of Ivy.
For the love of Ivy. So that's where that line came from. Gun Club.
I was watching Ivy's glances during this interview. I agree with Lux's philosophy.
Hell yeah! Exactly Lux! Exactly!
Miss Lux Interior!!!
Love ye the most.
R.I.P. Lux and love to you Poison
I.N.L.A.

Stone Cold Ivy. What a badass.
Truer words have never been spoken

Elvis, Lux: The Brothers of R' n' Roll !
respectable! good rockn roll is always good! .
Seems to me that he was truly a friendly calm guy, between all that weird extremes - engaged to explain things with knowledge and as good as possible ...- as imho the REAL COOL guys do !
He’s 100% right about all of this.
Lux is legend🎉
Great vid
these two came from OHIO! amazing.
K Reed
So does Marilyn Manson- must be something in the H2O
Lux is from Akron, OH, but Ivy is from San Bernadino, CA. They met near Sacramento, CA, in '72, got married, then moved to Akron in '73.
Cryptopolis He was born in Akron but he grew up in Stow, Ohio.
A lot of great music comes out of middle America,( and Canada). Husker Du's from Minneapolis, man.
Love Lux's PVC jacket.
Damn straight.
Amen to that
so true
Everthing he lux's saying is true
Wise.
I love these 2.I wonder often about Kristi is she doing okay is she healthy and happy.I know she aches for Lux.
I love how he puts the drink back at 0:49, to explain himself. True man.
How so right he is
Pop music was definitely part of the Equation..Cole Porter
Exactly
🐐
I'm still a teenage werewolf, and I'm 58 !¿!? 🤪
poison ivy is so bored with this interview lol
well, these men figure, what we have to say is more important
@@lenny108 takes all types. From his perspective, that's his version of the truth. As Pontius Pilate stated ; what is truth,
From her interviews, she’s a 180 from her stage presence. Very low key lady.
I would like to give Poison Ivory a pearl necklace to go with her tierra.
Him and GG Allin understood the truth
@Angie Gomez Lux didn't fucking lie.
Oh, yeah, also Lux was a talented musician.
G.G. was a pussy. And he hit like a two year old girl.
Fuckin Hell I miss 'm

Lux was a cool cat.
I like how poison says nothin-
Lux Interior is look-a-like with Stevie Riks
This rock & roll . It must be destroyed some more 😊
Get out of your mind or get out of my way
Would these people earn the phrase( the Beautiful people ) counter culture, becoming main cultural institution.
Poison Ivy just wants her guitar.
Ivy did NOT want to be there...if looks could kill...
lux interior. I feel like his butthead impression is on point. Long live the interior
It didn't seem like Ivy was digging the interview.

Ivy bored out of her mind
Whatver bullshit you're listening to on your Ipod right now: stop it, listen to what he's saying here and understand/learn from it!
Haha, iPods... They're all polluting the landfills or in the e-waste collection bins somewhere now.
