Top photo is not representative
editThe second sentence presents the "classic lineup." And if you turn your head to the right 30°, you will detect a picture of a different set of people 35 years later. This is stupid — there should be a photo of the original lineup at the top of the page, and not the Motorhead guy. Priceyeah (talk) 09:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- There are no freely licensed photos of the MC5 available from the late 1960s or early 1970s, except for a very low quality black and white photo of dubious provenance. Kramer, Thompson and Davis were original members. Tyner died in 1991 and Smith died in 1994. Thompson is the only member still alive. Cullen328 (talk) 00:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
I would like to know if the band will still remain intact with the death of Kramer
editThey're not even listed as having a tour scheduled.[1]Speakfor23 (talk) 00:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. It is a bit odd to credit Thompson as a sole member as he have not toured with the band for years and plays only on two tracks of the forthcoming album, more as a guest I would say. --85.76.39.9 (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Dennis Thompson has, unfortunately, passed away
editThis article I found says that Dennis Thompson died while recovering from a heart attack. https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2024/05/09/dennis-thompson-mc5-drummer- obituary/73629138007/ Easyrider77 (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
