		You may know that it's been remixed by Iggy himself, though you may not be aware of the rampant levels of righteosity that it reaches.
		As Lester Bangs once said, Iggy was simply a fucked-up kid who took too many drugs and wanted to have the most fucked-up band in history so as to externalise his own nihilism.
		Their records may rule the planet, though Iggy's solo records certainly don't.

	Iggy Pop: The Stooges

	HIGH BIAS -- Iggy & the Stooges: Live in Detroit
		Iggy and the Ashetons run through much the same set as the concert, with Scott playing a beer case, Ron at his usual ear-bleeding volume and Iggy "explaining" the meaning behind the songs, nearly all of which are about sex and drugs used to combat Midwestern boredom, in a hilarious parody of VH1's Storytellers.
		Iggy & the Stooges: Live in Detroit isn't a perfect document, but, considering the limited appearances the Stooges make these days, it's probably as close as most of us are going to get, and in that respect it's solidly satisfying.
		Whether that parody is intentional or not is open to question, but Iggy's a smart guy and I'm sure he was aware of the ridiculousness of the situation.

		Iggy & the Stooges with Sonic Youth and the Von Bondies
		Iggy Pop, right, performs with band members Mike Watt on bass and Scott Asheton on drums.

	Iggy & The Stooges reunion at Coachella!
		Iggy is doing his patented run-all-over-the-stage thing, but he seems to lack a bit of intensity, maybe ‘cause I’m used to seeing him up close.
		Iggy’s gotta get it turned up in his monitors and eventually the whole place can hear Steve’s gut-busting tenor drive.
		Iggy has a brief rap about being “nobody” (earning a big chuckle), and that’s the intro into what else, “DIRT”.

	Hellride Music - Iggy & the Stooges
		And I've heard that critique that Iggy is just copying himself...but I was impressed anyway, cos they seemed to have quite some fun and it sounded raw and the PA was fucking loud.
		And well...two of the tracks off that recent Iggy solo album, where there's a couple of tracks with the Ashetons on it...not too convincing, though.
		The Stooges were a very special band in the late 60's, and it's not possible to transport their very special sound and energy into this century.

	Iggy Pop and the Stooges: Raw Power (Reissue) [NY Rock CD Review]
		The CD, freshly remixed by Iggy himself, finally captures the edge and execution of the group as it must have sounded to scores of disaffected Detroit youth some 25 years ago.
		The new recording is masterful, with all due credit to Iggy for a job well done.
		I mean, forget Elvis, Iggy is the King.

	Iggy & The Stooges Live In Detroit Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
		When Iggy was pumping out Detroit City punk rock with the Stooges, he produced a prototypical musical style that every band was looking for, that gritty loud tough garage/punk rock sound.
		The Stooges songs are performed in their basic raw form without any bass, just Iggy and the Asheton brothers cutting loose.
		This is a restrained Iggy however; he actually sits on a chair, but not for long during the performance.

	The Stooges
		Iggy Pop, named after The Iguanas, the band he used to drum for, moved over to vocals and formed the Psychedelic Stooges in 1967 with the Ashton Brothers (one of whom was obsessed with Nazi regalia and could hear sieg heils when his mothers hairdryer was on !).
		Its commonly acknowledged that The Stooges were a major influence on punk bands on both sides of the Atlantic and that statement is impossible to deny.
		All 4 Stooges album if flawed are still essential and at the time they sold bugger all.

	BBC - collective - Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
		Formed in the late 60's by James Jewel Osterberg (aka the aformentioned Iggy Pop), Ron Asheton and Scott Asheton, the Stooges were a complete ideal of negation - their music was rebellious, their shows were a complete shambles, and their drug-taking was of the smack-laden variety.
		Ziggy Stardust was looking to increase his artistic credibility and as such hooked up Lou Reed and Iggy Pop in New York and formed a clique that was to drive all three artist's music for rest of the 1970's.
		Punk wasn't an absolute big-bang - a singularity in a vacuum of complete nothingness - rather, it was the culmination of a number of events and movements, politically and artisically speaking.

	Rambles: Iggy & the Stooges: Live in Detroit
		Having claimed that space, Iggy fills it with a tumultuous mob taken from the audience -- taking the event to the edge of anarchy.
		Another excellent bonus is a New York City in-store (without Watt) where a very congenial Iggy deconstructs many of the classic songs and explains how they were inspired and made.
		The concert is high-energy, but all that energy is really coming from Iggy, the human dynamo.

		Also included are Rock's notes on the band and its iconic leader, Iggy Pop, as well as interviews he conducted with the singer.
		Raw Power is a showcase of color and black-and-white prints taken over two sessions in 1972: at the Stooges' first and only U.K. concert and as the band recorded the album from which the book draws its title.
		Grainy and unpolished, these photographs stand out not so much for their precision and clarity but because of the seeming ease with which they capture the live-fast-die-young spirit of the band and its music.
