Suzi Quatro revisits her home town of Detroit, and explores its rich musical heritage by shining a light on some of its less celebrated stars, beginning with guitarist Wayne Kramer.

In this brand new series, Suzi Quatro revisits her home town - Detroit - and explores its rich musical heritage by shining a light on some of its less celebrated stars. 

To kick off the series, Suzi meets legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, a founding member of the MC5, one of the most revolutionary bands ever to tread the boards. Radical in both sound and politics, the MC5 redefined what a rock band could do.

Wayne set the template for the thousands that followed in his wake, from Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols and Mick Jones of the Clash, through to Slash and Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine today.
