LLMF (Live Like a Mutherfucker) [Live]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Wayne Kramer is known for his incendiary guitar work in the late '60s with Detroit's legendary MC5. A rocking, politically minded musician who spent time in jail and once shared a house with the Stooges, Kramer is a canny survivor who has engaged in more than three decades of punk-inspired fret shredding. Live Like a Motherfucker is a powerful live album illuminating the guitarist's work from his last three solo albums. Supported by Doug Linn on bass and Ric Parnell on drums, Kramer crashes and burns through an exciting set featuring quasi-bohemian blue-collar editorials laced with punk-metal guitar heroics. Whether singing about the late Charles Bukowski or reviving the MC5's classic anthem "Kick Out the Jams," Kramer is an American artist who mustn't be forgotten. --Mitch Meyers --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

New Musical Express
Where once [Wayne Kramer's] guitar licks stung with revolutionary zeal, they now stutter with echoes of his own history. He's telling stories that we've heard before, straining against forces that would deem him obsolete. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Yeah, This guy is great........2005-11-25

He has to be cool...I mean he has played with Iggy Pop, Johnny Thunders, Henry Rollins and GG Allin...I wish I could say the same.

WAYNE KRAMER - 'LLMF' (Epitaph).......2003-12-08

Title is supposed to stand for 'Live Like A Motherf***er!!'Makes perfect sense.Tunes I thought showed some promise were the opener "Bad Seed",the total ass-kicking "It's Never Enough","Down To The Ground","Poison",the MC 5 classic "Kick Out The Jams" and "Count Time",where Kramer shows off his bluesy side.The former MC 5 guitarist now tours with a trio.Some very basic old school all American rock&roll.Nothing really outstanding here,but pretty decent.

Blows Away "Live at Leeds" as the best live rock album ever!.......2002-05-31

Absolutely essential listening!!

How many rock artists do you know today that play "take-no-prisoners"-style hard-rocking guitar music with intelligent, inciteful, adult lyrics along with exploratory improvisational finesse and instrumental acumen? None that I can think of - at least none that do it anywhere near as well as Brother Wayne!!

Here it is captured white-hot, live and transcendent... direct to tape with no studio touch-ups... just 3 guys playing rock like their lives depend on it... and in Waynes case... IT PROBABLY DOES!!

I can't say enough good things about this artist or this CD in particular.

The real stuff.......2001-09-28

They just don't make albums/CD's like this anymore. This is what rock music should be. High energy, great material, and fantastic playing. I can't recommend this CD enough. It's meant to be played loud and it'll get your blood flowing. Buy this, you can't go wrong.
