Iggy Pop: The Stooges Following three albums, the Stooges disbanded, but the group's legacy grew over the next two decades, as legions of underground bands used their sludgy grind as a foundation for a variety of indie-rock styles, and as Iggy Pop became a pop cultural icon. Adopting the name Iggy Stooge, he rounded up brothers Ron and Scott Asheton (guitar and drums, respectively) and bassist Dave Alexander, and the group debuted at a Halloween concert at the University of Michigan student union in 1967. Meanwhile, the Stooges lived on in countless semi-legal releases and repackagings of live shows, demos and outtakes, all of which were consumed avidly by a still-devoted cult. geocities.com /mnennoburke/stooges.html   (815 words)

The Stooges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nevertheless, The Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential both on the then-nascent heavy metal, and on punk rock (see protopunk). Iggy is also sometimes credited with the invention or popularization of stage diving. Iggy Pop himself dedicated a lot of time to cleaning up the recordings and adjusting the mix, going for a more aggressive sound; the re-issues are generally regarded as having superior production, but the bonus tracks are not seen as essential additions to the catalog. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Stooges   (1817 words)

The Stooges concert review, DTE Energy Music Theatre, Clarkston, MI Aug. 25, 2003 The Stooges' Monday night performance at the DTE Energy Music Theatre was actually rescheduled from August 14th, when the nation's largest flout forced the postponement of that show. As Iggy jumped, yelped and agitated the swarming, frenzied crowd, Ron Asheton, with goatee and U.S. army shirt (his Nazi outfit from the early '70s must've been at the dry cleaners) stood stoically as he effortlessly delivered some of the nastiest, foundation-loosening rhythm guitar known to man or beast. Iggy's played with a lot of bands and musicians since the demise of The Stooges, but none have ever seemed to matter so much, or sound so dangerous, as the band he brought with him last Monday. www.concertlivewire.com /stooges4.htm   (511 words)

The Stooges- Perfect Sound Forever 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. So the Stooges, from 1968 til their final dissolution in 1974, trekked across the country time and time again despite the fact that the general 'rock' audience didn't give a shit, with few contemporaries to call their own. The question still remains, however, as to why the Stooges have made such an impact on me at this relatively late stage of my 'development', yet didn't move me an inch when I was an angry teenager being brainwashed by Minutemen and Bad Brains records. www.furious.com /perfect/stooges.html   (1517 words)

Iggy & The Stooges Live In Detroit Review By Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck   (Site not responding. Last check: ) 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. This is a restrained Iggy however; he actually sits on a chair, but not for long during the performance. The Stooges songs are performed in their basic raw form without any bass, just Iggy and the Asheton brothers cutting loose. www.enjoythemusic.com /magazine/music/0704/iggypop.htm   (650 words)

Iggy and the Stooges: Raw Power ---Ink Blot Magazine The Stooges, a thorn among the roses of 60's psychedelia, dwelled on the dingier, dirtier side of rock & roll. While Iggy Pop's deranged onstage antics and The Stooges' loud, primitive, bluesy rock won them a devoted cult audience, they were too vulgar to break into the mainstream. They didn't like the glittery sheen that David Bowie put over their rough Stooges, so Iggy took it and stripped it all down, and now Raw Power is only as sparkly as the shards of glass he used to cut himself with onstage. www.inkblotmagazine.com /rev-archive/Stooges_Raw_Power.htm   (517 words)

Amazon.co.uk: The Stooges: Music: Iggy Pop   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The Stooges hurled themselves headfirst into 1969 with a debut so sonically ferocious that only one-time Velvet Underground member John Cale could do it justice as a producer. The Stooges' triumph was in converting the confusion and desires of teenage life into chaotic, three-chord bliss. my theory is that the stooges, being the lazy bunch they were (no offense, but iggy himself would probably agree with me there!), couldn't be bothered to write another 3 songs, so they used the avant-garde genius john cale and his viola to create this horrible song. www.amazon.co.uk /Stooges-Iggy-Pop/dp/B000005IU1   (1687 words)

Iggy & the Stooges - Reading Festival 2005 review Blond hair, tanned exposed torso and blue jeans, he throws himself about the stage kicking and screaming, he’s wiry, he’s athletic and he’s screaming that “He took a ride” and more and more people are joining the crowd. The Stooges are on good form hammering out the stark single-note volleys on ‘1969’ as Iggy throws himself over the stage kicking and hollering “Another year for me and you, Another year of nothin’ to do” giving us hardly time to applaud before telling us. Afterwards I’m talking to my wife who tells me a few hours before she was going into photograph a band and saw Iggy apparently limping as he passed her. www.efestivals.co.uk /festivals/reading/2005/review-iggystooges.shtml   (430 words)

Iggy Pop - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre The Stooges se hizo famosa por sus actuaciones en vivo, en donde Pop saltaba del escenario (inventando así el stage diving o salto al público), se tiraba carne cruda y manteca de cacahuete sobre el pecho y se cortaba con botellas rotas. Inspirado por ello, al igual que The Doors, formaron The Psychedelic Stooges y se apodó a él mismo Iggy Stooge, y después Iggy Pop. Bowie e Iggy se instalaron en Berlín para desengancharse de la gran cantidad de cocaína que tomaban al día, en esos tiempos, Bowie solo se mantenía de leche y cocaína. es.wikipedia.org /wiki/Iggy_Pop   (928 words)

As much driven by the mechanised sounds from Henry Ford's Detroit pressing plant as jazz, blues and 'the British invasion', The Stooges managed to record three-long playing albums before the symptoms of LA Blues, that of infamy and indulgence, saw the end of a once gloriously chaotically cohesive unit. www.musicomh.com /music/gigs/iggy-pop-stooges_0905.htm   (666 words)

music-reviewer.com - February, 2002 - Iggy and the Stooges So here, a band known today as much for sound recording deficiencies as for their groundbreaking on and off stage exploits thirty years before, "The Detroit Rehearsals and More" reveals an as-yet unheard version of this infamous band. But I'll tell ya I kinda like their "I was born in a trailer" line that goes with the latter and that rambling guitar riff beneath Iggy's psychotic scream gives you that up a little too close and personal vibe! The tunes, thirteen in all, an hour plus of pure Stooges, raw and unrefined and never before released, their promise not mine, is aimed specifically to those hard-core fans that can't get enough from the old Columbia days -- those, an absolute must for a first listen for the modern day Punk rocker archivist. www.music-reviewer.com /02_02/iggy.htm   (335 words)

Iggy Pop Tickets - Buy Iggy Pop Tickets - Premium Iggy Pop Tickets He is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk" and "the Rock Iguana", and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of rock. Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, a late 1960s/early 1970s garage rock band who were highly influential in the development of the nascent heavy metal and punk rock. The Stooges became infamous for their live performances in which Iggy Pop leapt off the stage (thus inventing the "stage dive"), smeared raw meat and on one occasion peanut butter over his chest and cut himself with broken bottles. www.showtimetickets.com /concerts/rock-pop/iggy-pop.jsp   (367 words)

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.

Electric Picnic 2007 - Iggy & the Stooges There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk -- every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-'60s/early-'70s band, the Stooges. With just about every new rock band listing the Stooges as a major influence by the late '90s, Iggy began tentatively looking back to the band's legacy. Iggy finally made good on his pledge to reunite the band in 2003. www.electricpicnic.ie /music/iggy_pop.html   (176 words)

Iggy & The Stooges Play Australia for the First Time   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The Stooges never made it to Australia in their hey-day.

Iggy invited the audience on stage for ‘Real Cool Time’ and ‘No Fun’ but I suspect he got more than he bargained for when one male fan, overcome by Pop’s presence, planted a kiss right on his lips. www.undercover.com.au /news/2006/jan06/20060130_iggypop.html   (267 words)

Iggy Pop : Rolling Stone The legendary Stooge looks back on his forty-year reign as the world's wildest, craziest punk. Iggy Pop may have taken up golf in Miami, but when properly motivated, he's still plenty capable of sounding like the original dead-end kid wriggling out of a straitjacket.
