I've never heard Lux being so assertive, almost annoyed like this before. Great interview.

The questions from the interviewer are boneheaded. Lux is just laying it on the line.

Damn right!

Early Rhythm and Blues, Rockabilly, Doo-Wop, Surf Music, Garage Rock, Proto-punk, and Punk.

This is a great conversation! They created their own world, unaffected by the constraints of "regular" civilization. They made a place of freedom for themselves, carved out a parallel universe where Rock n' Roll had it's rightful place in the hierarchy of culture. Yet, they could still remain humble, kind, funny and functional, without the trappings of religion or twisted capitalistic ideals and morals.

you had me until the criticism of capitalism. rock and roll would never have emerged in a authoritarian, communist/socialist society.

these documents are so completely precious now......

NEVER heard Lux speak in an interview till recently - Sonds like Jello Biafra/Zappa - VERY intelligent gentleman - Fortunate to have seen The Cramps once in NYC back in the mid-90's

If the Rock n Roll hall of fame was worth one sh-t The Cramps would have been inducted 20 years ago.

Hope you are okay PI. I miss your playing on the big Gretsch and I miss Lux out front. Still watch your YT vids. Keep on rockin'.

That was brilliant! What was really refreshing to accidentally discover watching these interviews on KZread. Is that they collected doo wop. I'm old enough to listen to oldies radio from the 70s which was really the 50s. So I was really obsessed with rock and roll. Because it was that exciting especially doo wop!

Pure Energy! ❤️

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. Hello Richard. Wow, this is a long-lost gem. Great to see it finally uploaded here. Rest in Peace Lux and Nick.

It's a hell,of a place that so much music was created in the US including RocknRoll.

I miss them so

I love Poison Ivy! RIP Lux!

Nothing but RESPECT! my lovely MONSTER COUPLE MISS U LUX RIP 🖤 POISON IVY MY DARK ANGEL WITH RED HAIR 🖤 TRUE LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT MADE🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Timeless...(+ Priceless...)

Damn great interview!! Miss Lux soooooo much!

Sweet couple.

We're out to be open minded.. We are merely free minded .. they all have some kind of thing they want to market us.. sometimes people call us the monsters of rock.. but true rock n roll is for everyone.. it's the closest thing to pure energy.. 💕

I love them

So intelligent ❤️ poison Ivy sexiest woman ever in Rock’n’Roll history

Rock n Roll 👉👌Baybeh!!!

Cramps are very unique band fun music to dance listen n party like an animal

True

how true!

It's about sex, truth and life. Miss you Lux, long live Poison Ivy Rorschach

And then there was Ivy

rock and roll has 4 tropes.. Sex, Fast Cars, Money and Heartbreak

I don't intend to offend- I just offend with my intent.

Is that Rowland S Howard interviewing them?

Its August 1986 - the Cramps were in Auckland to play 2 shows at the Galaxy, the end of the Date with Elvis world tour. The shows were issued as the band's 8th album RockinnReelininAucklandNewZealandXXX This interview was for Kiwi rock television show Radio With Pictures.

Ah Dick Driver a Kiwi classic

I wonder what Ivy is doing these days?

what year is this interview?

Probably around 1985 or 86.

They take these mundane vague questions and turn them into an opportunity to express the things they want to express. Bet you dollars to donuts they were never invited on a daytime trash show like Springer because they would bring too much intellect and class.

Who are the 2 dislikes?????

Stay sick !

R n' R is Folk music? I don't think so!

Exactly! At 1:00. Rock & Roll is about sex. It's stupid to say that The Cramps were deliberately out to offend anyone. Today, I've heard young people say that Rock & Roll is "too aggressive". Good Lord! It's supposed to shake you up snowflake!

All shtick... Rock n roll is simpler than he's making it out to be. You "rock" an audience with music, then you load your gear into a car or van and "roll" to the next show. Rinse repeat. Still like The Cramps music though.
