RARE PHOTOS OF MC5'S MACHINEGUN THOMPSON AND HIS BANDS




Ms B and MGT Copperfield's NY August 1977

One of the most exciting things for me is when fans send me rare photos of my rock friends. I had the great fortune to meet Ms B, Machinegun Thompson's former girlfriend back in the New Order and Secrets days. She and I met on Facebook and then chatted on the phone for a long time about her personal story about being a witness to musical history in the making.

Ms B told me all about the haps in Hollywood at 404 the apartment where lots of Detroit rockers lived while trying to make it big in the music world.



Cool concert flyer from my home town!

Ms B sent me all these rare and most never seen personal photos and I couldn't wait to share these my readers and Machinegun's too. I have more photos of Sirius Trixon and the Motor City Bad Boys which I posted on MGT's page. You can see them HERE

How cool MGT played so fast and furious that he had a drum tech standing by to feed him new sticks when his sticks accidentally flew into the audience or he threw them to the fans.

THANK YOU MS B!

Keep on posting. It reminds me why Dave and Laurel made their film, and what a criminal waste it is that the film has been orphaned.

"While I'm sitting here on my computer I can hear my 5yo daughter playing MC5 cds in the lounge room. I think she's ready to testify."
