  This is really sad. Not only the Cramps have been one of the coolest bands ever, we have a lot to thank them for. If there was no Cramps, there would have been no Back From The Grave, no Crypt records, no Desperate Rock and Roll, no Garage revival in the 80's. They were some of the first people to re-discover so much coolness in music and culture from past eras. Obscure stuff form the 50's and 60's would probably still be in the hands of grey bearded collectors. Mike says some posts above "they owned any song they covered". I couldn't agree more with him. My pal Tutti from La Secta Violeta turned me on them back in 1983. I'll be always grateful for that.

  Very, very sad news!
  
  I once drove from Lawrence, KS to Omaha, NE to see them. Then a year later, they played in Lawrence on the night of my birthday. Both times they put on an amazing show.
  
  The Cramps have also turned all of us on to some of the most rockin' music ever, things we may not have even heard of if it weren't for them.
  
  What else can be said? RIP Lux, thinking of Ivy.

  I've got to be honest here...
  
  The only other passing at this point that could rattle my cage as much would be Billy B. Childish - forbid it!
  
  Rock & Roll died yesterday.

  My fave band...my fave frontman...the two best shows I ever saw were the Toronto Cramps shows right before Smell of Female came out and right after, with the Date with Elvis tour holding a close third place.
  Not just a frontman or a band, but a whole way of life, in a way....

  I have a hard time getting upset about people I don't know passing away, but this one is a real downer. There will never be another band like the Cramps, instantly recognizable, they owned any song they covered. Condolences to Ivy.

  OHHH! Come on! What times are these?!? First the Bo and now Lux... that's terrible news! We where just alking about the CRAMPS lately and how big they are to us in our little cave. How great they are, their style, the music, the humor... man this is all hard to get. ...Thinking of Ivy. "Come on little momma let's tear this damn place up!"

  I would hazard to say that The Cramps were Garage Punk ground zero, and Lux will be missed.

  Just got home and read the MTV article after a friend of mine called me to tell me about it. Sad day for Garage rock, his wild antics will live on in infamy.

  "Biggest loss since Link Wray and Bo Diddley, IMHO."
  
  Goddamn right. The Cramps' influence cannot be overstated.
