MC5 survivors sued by singer's family

- MC5 »
The three remaining members of Detroit rock legends, The MC5, are to be sued by the widow and children of MC5 lead singer Rob Tyner over rights to the group's recordings, compositions and the MC5 trademark.
Rob Tyner’s widow, Rebecca Derminer and her children with Tyner - son Robin Derminer and daughters Elizabeth Derminer and Amy Vallandi - have filed suit against Wayne Kramer, Michael Davis, Dennis Thompson and their related businesses. Tyner died of a heart attack in September 1991. The fifth member the MC5s, Fred (Sonic) Smith, died in 1994.
The remaining members of the band re-formed last year and spent lots of time doing stuff with Levi, as well as making weak and disappointing appearances at festivals such as Leeds and Reading.

Eh? The Reading performance was phenomenal. If it wasn't for that Reading would've been worse than last year.

They were the best live act I saw at Leeds. I missed half of Morrissey's set for them and have no regrets

just read it now. Seriously shitty. I'd encourage all other MC5 fans to read the link too

Undoubtedly, I wouldn't go out and say that Kramer's the Archangel Gabriel and that he's 100% innocent. It seems fucked on both sides, both on Kramer's and on the side of the filmmakers. Just another band squabble eh? Even revolutionaries can't decide...

Yeah, they were great. It seemed to be really loud too. The rama lama fa fa fa singalong was quality.
