	The Stooges: Fun House ---Ink Blot Magazine
		The Stooges, a thorn among the roses of 60's psychedelia, dwelled on the dingier, dirtier side of rock & roll.
		The Stooges were never the type of band that made fourteen-year old girls want to plaster their bedroom walls with Stooges group photos.
		However, the Stooges do depart from their raw rock and roll on "Dirt," where intricate guitar strokes swirl into a dark psychedelic spiral while Iggy lowly howls along to the music.

	The Stooges Album Reviews
		I knew the Stooges were an influence to them, as well as the Ramones (and yeah, all punk rock in general).
		Of course, the Stooges were also heroin addicts for the most part and hung with the same scene as the aforementioned bands, but well....uh....
		Album closer “Death Trip” probably sounds the worst of all, with the guitar sound just disappearing completely now and then, but it’s again Pop’s deranged vocals and Williamson’s equally demented solo near the end that’ll have you raise your eyebrows and mutter “What the fuck?”.

	ALBUM REVIEW: Stooges: not worth hype - Tempo
		In the case of The Stooges, it was an epic reunion, but "The Weirdness" wasn't an epic record.
		This was the group's first album since the 1973, fuzzy, psychedelic and sexual masterpiece, "Raw Power." And just three years before that, The Stooges ventured into uncharted waters with the cult classic, "Fun House." Then, The Stooges vanished on an unbelievably high note - 34 years ago.
		After listening to the album, you'll notice Scott Asheton's drums sound almost identical to Dave Grohl's sound on Nirvana's "In Utero" - a dark and heavy sound, but it doesn't have the classic punk peppiness or the quick-banging, jazz-flavored pop The Stooges needed.

	The Stooges- Perfect Sound Forever (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		If the Stooges were the granddaddies to all this mediocrity, then I'd be sure to keep a distance.
		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.

		The Stooges live up to their namesake perfectly here and continue to set the pace for extreme music on this CD, be it punk, metal, experimental, or otherwise.
		To talk down the musicianship of the Stooges as a point of punk orthodoxy seems beside the point when you listen to this record.
		Forget the album as a masterpiece, forget it as a landmark, forget the Stooges, forget Iggy Pop, forget what everybody tells you about this recording, forget yourself in desperate...

	Iggy Pop And The Stooges - Raw Power \| sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The album’s opener is the blistering “Search and Destroy” with its crashing guitar riffs and pulsating beats that leads to warbling guitar solo from James Williamson and a thunderous rhythm from bassist Ron Asheton and drummer Scott Asheton.
		The album’s closer “Death Trip” is another song of chaotic power with an incessant guitar riff from Williamson and Iggy’s primal scream as he is accompanied by the thunderous rhythm section of the Asheton brothers as he sings lyrics of chaos and destruction as he is followed by the wailing guitar solos of Williamson.
		As the 90s progressed, the albums of the Stooges begin to sell more than ever as songs appeared on soundtracks and commercials as they were hailed as one of the most influential bands in rock n’ roll.

	The Stooges
		On the other hand, the Stooges missed another primary feature that highlights the punk movement in general - their material was rarely socially or politically oriented.
		In that respect, the Stooges were far more closer to the Velvet Underground; actually, I like to think of them as the VU taken to a logical extreme.
		For their first album, Elektra Records (back then notorious for its willingness to sign up risky acts like the Doors and, at the same time with the Stooges, their "big brothers" the MC5) teamed the Stooges up with ex-Velvets violinist/hellraiser John Cale as producer.

	Iggy Gets Busy On Stooges Reunion Disc
		The Stooges will also embark on their first full-blown reunion tour, having previously focused on the festival circuit and one-offs since reassembling in 2003.
		At deadline, the lone date confirmed is an appearance in December at the U.K.'s Nightmare Before Christmas festival, which will be curated by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore.
		I had resisted doing a Stooges reunion, but when I was putting 'Skull Ring' together, [the Ashetons] were getting really active on the road playing Stooges songs.

	Stooges and Minutemen bassist Mike Watt at the I-94 Bar
		I can't believe I'm playing w/the stooges - it just occurs to me what is happening and it's really blowing my mind but I hold hard to course and follow the igster, who's totally in his game - it's his stage for sure.
		I was really scared for the long island show (first time w/the stooges where I was fully aware and sickness not tearing at me) and kind of shook up too for the roseland show in manhattan.
		the stooges mean so much to me and other cats who want to take that exhilaration to the stage and see what it does to them.

	The Stooges
		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.
		The album is known for its poor mix by Bowie but like the other albums it yields its fair share of gems.
		All 4 Stooges album if flawed are still essential and at the time they sold bugger all.

	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 label rejected the album’s preliminary mix and contracted David Bowie to remix the record in a day’s time in a dimly, lo-tech studio in the bowels of Los Angeles.
		For whatever reason, the sound quality on the album was infamously poor, resulting in one of the most scorned mixes in the music business.

	EOM Entertainment: The Stooges / The Stooges (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When The Stooges' eponymous debut album appeared in August 1969, the reaction on the street was instantly negative.
		The Stooges is nothing less than a 35 minute manifesto for the decade to come; it may be simple lyrically and musically, but it's not dumb.
		This re-issue is beefed up with a bonus disc of alternate mixes (someone at Elektra deemed Cale's orginal mix too "arty"; to me it just sounds cleaner), alternate vocals, and "full versions" of "Ann" and "No Fun" that allow the boys to extend these orgies of wah wah and feedback to their logical conclusions.

	Iggy & the Stooges: "Open Up And Bleed" reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Those who've bought the imported Stooges releases on the labels Fan Club, Revenge and Skydog are aware that an entire fourth album's worth of new material was played live by Iggy and the crew, but never set down in a studio before their demise in January 1974.
		The best material is that recorded in CBS Studios, which would apparently have become the basis for The Stooges' next album, had bne bandmembers not parted.
		With only three studio albums released during their all-too-brief but hugely influential career, live recordings and rare unreleased tracks have become the stuff of Stooges legend.

	Stooges - biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Stooges were signed to Elektra Records in late 1968 by A&R man Danny Fields (later manager of the Ramones).
		They recorded two albums (the first produced by John Cale of the Velvet Underground.) for the label which sold moderately at the time but later became regarded as classics.
		The Stooges broke up in 1973 as a result of Iggy's growing heroin problem, but not before releasing their third and final album, Raw Power, which is largely regarded as a proto-punk masterpiece.

	FUN HOUSE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Stooges' first album was produced by a classically trained composer; their second was supervised by the former keyboard player with the Kingsmen, and if that didn't make all the difference, it at least indicates why Fun House was a step in the right direction.
		Producer Don Gallucci took the approach that the Stooges were a powerhouse live band, and their best bet was to recreate the band's live set with as little fuss as possible.
		The Stooges may have had more "hits," but Fun House has stronger songs, including the garage raver to end all garage ravers in "Loose," the primal scream of "1970," and the apocalyptic anarchy of "L.A. Blues." Fun House is the ideal document of the Stooges at their raw, sweaty, howling peak.

		On the first Stooges album, he was listed as "Iggy Stooge," but this was not his idea and he was apparently really pissed off about it.
		In that time the stooges wrote a bunch of songs that were supposed to be a fourth album.
		In fact, it might be well advised to invest in the majority of the bomp stooges discography which includes singles and eps of pre raw power post fun house material of a possible third stooges album that was never released by electra because they dumped them.

	The Stooges - Fun House
		Steve MacKay and his magic tenor saxophone leads the Stooges through various rock changes and provides for a good jam setting on tunes such as "1970," and "Funhouse." The group has attained a grand musicianship with their second album which will probably outsell their first successful disk.
		Hard rock and good improvisation are the settings of the album and the Stooges bring this off very well.
		The album everyone should own but no one does is an all-out musical explosion that plays loud at any volume like one long heavy track.

	THE MORE YOU DRIVE, THE LESS INTELLIGENT YOU ARE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Stooges also carry a strong element of sickness in their music, a crazed quaking uncertainty, an errant foolishness that effectively mirrors the absurdity and desperation of the times, but I believe that they also carry a strong element of the cure, a post-derangement sanity.
		The first thing to remember about Stooge music is that it is monotonous and simplistic on purpose, and that within the seemingly circumscribed confines of this fuzz-feedback territory the Stooges work deftly with musical ideas that may not be highly sophisticated (God forbid) but are certainly advanced.
		This Stooges album isn't nearly as complex as either one of those, but then Ornette practically started it all and the Velvets were at that time the most advanced experimental group in the world.

		This is where it all began for the Stooges, and for the most part, this is an excellent debut.
		The first reissue of the album is the only one that is readily available in America at this time, and the one that has been produced ever since.
		This is a good reissue in that it improves the sound quality of the original version of the album, and in that it adds a brief essay about the band (a pretty interesting read, actually.) I wish they would reissue the album, though.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Back in the USA [CD] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The only thing keeping this album from receiving the 5 star rating is the poor attempt at a love song, "Let Me Try," which is kind of like the "We Will Fall" (from the Stooges self-titled debut) of the album.
		Why this album isn't regarded as one of the classics of the 65-74 rock era is beyond me...wait, no it isn't.
		Which is, in the end, this album's biggest flaw: it came after "Jams", not before, and shows the band as mere musical mortals.

		A case in point is Pop's reunion (of sorts) with the Stooges, the band that 30 years ago helped give birth to punk rock.
		Pop says his record company, Virgin, got jazzed about the idea of releasing a full Stooges comeback album after the group was invited to play its first show in three decades last spring at California's alternative Coachella Festival.
		The Sum 41 track is the album's most melodic (read: commercial) number, and was suggested by Virgin.

	The Stooges
		This is the difference between a "good album" and a "great album"....a "good album" has no bad songs on it, and a "great album" has no non-amazing, non-overwhelmingly fantastic, non-classic in every sense of the word, IMPERFECT songs on it.
		But the thing is, prior to this album, no-one had really infused hard rock with this much passion, sleaze, psychosis, self-destructiveness, naked aggression and raw sexuality.
		The Stooges were never the most competent musicians technically speaking (to put it mildly), but it doesn't really matter, because they infuse their playing with such passion (much in the same way that it doesn't really matter that Bob Dylan has a terrible voice, because he uses it so well and with such passion).

		The album's title track was the song for which the musicians reunited.
		The Stooges burned through it quickly and furiously and then decided to bang out a second song, "Loser," which was inspired by the White Stripes.
		Pop said he decided to work with the Stooges on their first disc since 1973's Raw Power because he was inspired by how productive they were on Skull Ring and how powerful they've sounded on the eight Stooges shows they've played so far.

	Iggy Pop : Bio
		It is not enough that the Stooges virtually single-handedly godfathered punk rock, garage rock and American heavy metal more than three decades ago, or that Iggy Pop went on to conquer Europe and the far East as a headlining phenomenon in the ’90s.
		Television and movie soundtracks (either on screen or in the albums), documentaries and rock histories, radio and tv commercial spots, compilation albums, surf and skateboard videos, video games, and especially cover vers ions by a multitude of artists have kept the mystique of Iggy Pop and the Stooges on fire.
		Unquestionably, the most wide-ranging album that Iggy Pop has recorded in his entire career – and that covers some ground – SKULL RING reveals an artist for whom taking chances is second nature, a craftsman who is constantly seeking out others to challenge his imagination.
