Ok well at first I kind of agreed with the "decrepit" part but as the interview went on I noticed there really isn't anything thing that wrong with him. he just needs to whiten his teeth and get a new one. other than that there is really nothing decrepit about him
Iggy was such a class act! And Tom was cool to see him for the genius he really is . There are two sides to every coin, and we usually just get one side from the media these days. That sucks!
Iggy used to chip his teeth on the mike a lot from what I've read. He gave a lot of himself during performances.........that's very noble in my opinion. Tom could be a pretty insightful interviewer too......at least he isn't discussing brain dead things like how many drugs Iggy does like half the people on this message board.
i remember this...slick musicianship--without the stooges there's no patti smith, clash, pretenders, sex pistols, etc. i am also a jazz fan & his references to sun ra & waller are interesting, to say the least.
The Tom Snyder interview with the classic KISS line-up is classic...an extremely stoned Ace Frehley alone is worth watching it, for the pure hilarity.
To those who comment on on Rock Stars being stoned on TV, here and elsewhere. It was normal to show up for an interview, stoned out of your mind back then, the audience expected this. That's why they were called Late Night Talk Shows.
if you were then there you know who you are...we were a real force.....its like our parents talking about nam...not one of these new people will ever be or live our time.....big star..is a great band for our mellower years

he's still in his disease here. man, I wish I could pull out of my shit like he did. He still has a career and has made peace with his past.... I can't... I wish I could but.... damn.
@lodownX dude, yes u can, the whole "disease" concept takes one's accountability away. I'm an opiate addict and others, but I can still stop. I'm not slamming AA or docs or anyone/anything but drugs/alcohol are a CHOICE, even when it seems so hard, its still ultimately up to you/me/others to get sober. Obviously, some people have more resources and things to fall back on, like Iggy with music, but don't give up and you can email me if you ever wanna. Take care of yourself.
@rsohlich1 , you sound like a poser. Yes, drugs and alcohol are a choice in the beginning but over time they can completely destroy some people rendering them incapable of making good decisions. Toss in the fact that many addicts consume to mask severe emotional pain and it's a complicated situation to deal with. And "resources" have very little impact on outcomes.
@morfeeene I PROMISE you I'm not a poser. I'm a hardcore junkie, and I'm on suboxone now, but I still have to recognize its my CHOICE. I have went to a few rehabs and all they preached was the disease concept. I agree that its a sickness and after time def. makes one lose a LOT of their choice, but in the end, its up to me. Most of the people I went to rehab with who used the "I don't have much choice" for addiction are dead now. I'm not judging you though, I can see your point.
@rsohlich1 It is a disease, and it doesn't take ones accountability away as it is a disease that we can choose to conquer. But it is a choice. Its the hardest and the best thing i ever did for myself, my family and friends. It s just easier for some people to choose the addictions and no one knows why . I chose life not death. There is life after drugs and alcohol. I'm enjoying the music from Iggy and so many others more now than when i was f'd up all the time.
@princi57 -how odd.In my day,you seen as a loser if you handnt left home by 18,and a retard if you had to let your parents pay your way.Girls would think you could not handle responsibility and were reliant on others to support you,thus a loser

@23Henrich Haha, yeah the interview with John Lydon (and Keith Levene) is legendary : ) Have you seen the interview he did with John Lydon a few years later? I think you can find it here on youtube.
A low point? THIS WAS THE GREATEST IGGY EVER DID AND JUST CUZ HE HAS A TOOTH MISSING YOU CALL HIM DECREPIT??? MAN YOU ARE A MORON!!! TOM SNYDER WAS THE BEST LATE NIGHT TV HOSH/SHOW EVER....Man get a clue before you leave stupid comments on YOUTUBE-YOU BOOB!
Actually, far from making soulless records, at the time of this interview his most recent lps were New Values and Soldier, both good albums. And reduced to appearing on Tom Snyder? Lots of good people went on his show. I'm not even sure he was on heroin in 1980; I'd thought he had kicked smack and was on coke. Maybe I'm mistaken there.
@5jerry1 THNANKS !! ... yeah i managed to catch an interview where he said he knocked it out getting too excited with the microphone ... FUCK if id managed to do that only at the age of 33 i would be fucking deverstated... hes seems quite unfased by the very unsightly hole in the front of his mouth ... this guy is fucking mental!! ... i fucking love him!!! x))
great interview. this is how interviews should be conducted. spur of the moment dialogue, hard pressing questions, and honest, uncensored answers. no note cards just fucking dialogue between two very respectable people. Excellent, excellent.
you really have to consider the time this was recorded. punk music was considered a threat to civil society. at this time, david bowie was considered scary to parents. iggy may have been on smack, but it wasn't a low point in iggy's career to be on tom snyder. he was also on dinah shore, with bowie, in 1977. they were promoting his album "the idiot", which is one of his best releases.
Two guys who are just SO real. I have so much respect for them both. I wish I'd been alive when Tom Snyder was on the air, I would've watched his show religiously. He truly wants to get into people's minds. I love this interview and the one he did with the clash - he's not trying to perpetuate the stereotypes their fans, detractors or even themselves have...He wants to break that stuff down and really understand and help his audience understand their motives.
@PoorlyMadeFilms YOU, my friend, get it. I see so many clueless remarks about Snyder on YouTube -- people who think they're so punk or whatever can't get past his hairdo or some such. But he did exactly as you said: dug deep for the truth.
Iggy is one of the only real people left on the planet,he doesn't give a fuck what you think of him & he's a really nice guy.Not like all these wanna be emo's/gothic middleclass spoilt,plastic punks,who dress up listen to punk bands then go off to university to be lawer and mum & dad pay their bills till their 30-fake trash.If iggy was a nobody sitting in a pub they would hate him,because he's famous they love him,....middleclass trash.
@MrMaskita Sorta ironic that one of the most authentic guys on the planet is a dude named James Osterberge who felt the need to change his name to Iggy Pop. His spiel about Dionysus was swiped straight from the mouth of Jim Morrison, his old drinking buddy. Before James became Iggy and the current godfather of punk, he was just another scenester who hung out on the Sunset Strip. Don't mean to sound cynical but you're romanticizing an image, not a real person
@thejesman -well what are they called now?- ''gay- little- middle-class spoilt, ass pussies,who think that crying is a endearing quality of the male species-its not!,man up you little fags! or get a sex change.
@MrMaskita Haha, the jizman! I like that actually. Dude, if I ever become a pornstar...but yeah, trying to hard to be cool basically. I mean, words like "goth emo middleclass gay fag" everything else you said don't mean a whole lot to me. I imagine you'll be tempted to say I'm one of these people now. But I'll have more respect for you if you take it down a notch and try to have a real conversation with me.
@thejesman ok,man-no prob.I didn't mean to come off ,so hard core. I used to play in alot of punk bands & have worked in a lot of punk venue's,and most were yuppies in a punk/goth/emo uniform.The straight edge scene was the worst though,i must admit.(just my opinion).Johnny Lyndon(Johnny Rotten) put it the best "punks fucked punk".
You guys should check out that sex pistol film- " The filth & the fury".(only if you want)
@MrMaskita Thanks dude, Filth and the Fury does sound like something I'd be into. This is the way I look at it. I used to wonder what the hell goth was. Different people kept giving different answers. Come to find out, it doesn't mean anything, it's just clothes. Same thing with emo. I wondered what it was, found out it was just clothes. And I don't care about clothes, so I don't see any reason to talk about it or think about it.
@MrMaskita I tend to assume everyone else has made the same conclusion I have, so I get annoyed when I still hear people talk about that stuff like they're music genres. I just feel the whole "emo" label has run its course by now.
That said, I do agree with you, in that I wish people would try a little harder to be individuals rather than follow the fashions of the day.
@MrMaskita you do know that Iggy was a valedictorian in his senior High School year right? anyone who cares about their future and doesn't wanna live on the street is a wannabe emo, plastic punk? please. Go spread your hipster bullshit on a GG Allin video retard. You can go impress your 16 year old hipsters friends who live with their grandma there. How the fuck did you get 30 likes?
@Povixas -communist hipster??? what planet are you fuckers from,tell are all you people in highschool?You must be,and that's ok,if so-then i will move on.
By the povo,do you actually know what communism is?and how the fuck did you get that from any of my statements,please tell???(and no cut & paste please)lol.Tell me,whats the difference between communism,socialism,fascism??
@MrMaskita you know usually the ones who behave that excentric are the real fakers.and maybe it's you having some personality problems if you think that there are so few persons who don't give a fuck about anyone.look around,it's the trend,a cool guys' thing
@loonaloonyluvgood -another thing,how the fuck did you get that from my statements.---you guys are in high school arent you? .I will make no more comments here,so now you can go to town on me...you can be ALL ten foot tall on your keyboards.ha.
@canadianscot06 -a few years ago i heard a Journo ask him,if his sclong(penis) was still working after years of drug & drink abuse,(no lie)which he replied,"yep,there's no problem there",lol
strange question though..........dont you think.:)
@MrMaskita Your point is rather interesting but being cynical, although ive been there myself, leads nowehere my friend. Shielding yourself with cynicism doesnt do any good.
@metalhead19931 yes, in some respects iggy pop comes off as somewhat "cartoonish." a parody of himself. in retrospect, tom sneider and iggy BOTH come off as parodies of themselves in this clip.
@wallymeldrum fats waller and howlin wolf. all his "influences" are jazz and bues performers. it's funny (funny "strange," that is) hearing sun ra referred to as "conventional," yes, sun ra DID become conventional. but that was just before he died, about ten years after this interview took place. in the late seventies, sun ra was still pretty out there........
there were tons of people afraid of rock in those days. my great uncle was caught by the mafia in the 70's for having a jimi hendrix museum shortly after jimi's passing. took and burned all the stuff jimi gave him.
Yeah, swans, I grew up on Snyder interviews. Cavett & Douglas & Paar were before my time. Mr. Rotten was about the only failed interview I've seen Snyder conduct. The duo from PIL made themselves pills from the start. Snyder wasn't going to sit there and play the square straw man to these impertinent jackanapes. All Snyder ever insisted upon was a baseline of mutual desire for *conversation*. Some guests only want to be pandered to, or a forum to sell their prepared statements.
Who cares what Iggy was "on" and why is it any of your business? Unlike most of those who commented here that live in their mom's basement, I grew on the east side in the 70's listening and actually attending shows when everyone was so self involved with their "image" Iggy had already been pounding out raw energy for over a decade. You idiots wouldn't have had the balls to be Iggy fans, it meant you where a scumbag. Now that he makes all kinds of money, you treat him like a God.
Love Iggy. Funny how people misread Tom Snyder. He was great, he treated artists respectfully and had his very square sense of humor. Always complimented the artist. Not every TV host was bringing Iggy or Wendy O. Williams to their shows. Dick Cavett was another good one. Nowadays other hosts would bring these kind of artists for the shock and the laughs. Snyder and Cavett could ironize or be sarcastic and still treat the artist seriously.
THIS is so you that apearences are not what you think show you this guy is smart can you tell the difference between art .. that show you he is intelligent but on drugs lol
All the tough bullshit in his life was the breeding ground for the most fertile Ig-sure alot was his own doing, but that period between New Values and Party was Iggy at his highest struggle point and also Iggy at his rawest and most creatively powerful.I saw the Party show (w/ Nash the Slash!) and he looked real bad-his tough life makes for great music-ICON.

you really have to consider the time this was recorded. punk music was considered a threat to civil society. at this time, david bowie was considered scary to parents. iggy may have been on smack, but it wasn't a low point in iggy's career to be on tom snyder. he was also on dinah shore, with bowie, in 1977. they were promoting his album "the idiot", which is one of his best releases.

Two guys who are just SO real. I have so much respect for them both. I wish I'd been alive when Tom Snyder was on the air, I would've watched his show religiously. He truly wants to get into people's minds. I love this interview and the one he did with the clash - he's not trying to perpetuate the stereotypes their fans, detractors or even themselves have...He wants to break that stuff down and really understand and help his audience understand their motives.

@PoorlyMadeFilms YOU, my friend, get it. I see so many clueless remarks about Snyder on YouTube -- people who think they're so punk or whatever can't get past his hairdo or some such. But he did exactly as you said: dug deep for the truth.

Iggy is one of the only real people left on the planet,he doesn't give a fuck what you think of him & he's a really nice guy.Not like all these wanna be emo's/gothic middleclass spoilt,plastic punks,who dress up listen to punk bands then go off to university to be lawer and mum & dad pay their bills till their 30-fake trash.If iggy was a nobody sitting in a pub they would hate him,because he's famous they love him,....middleclass trash.

@MrMaskita Sorta ironic that one of the most authentic guys on the planet is a dude named James Osterberge who felt the need to change his name to Iggy Pop. His spiel about Dionysus was swiped straight from the mouth of Jim Morrison, his old drinking buddy. Before James became Iggy and the current godfather of punk, he was just another scenester who hung out on the Sunset Strip. Don't mean to sound cynical but you're romanticizing an image, not a real person

@thejesman ok,man-no prob.I didn't mean to come off ,so hard core. I used to play in alot of punk bands & have worked in a lot of punk venue's,and most were yuppies in a punk/goth/emo uniform.The straight edge scene was the worst though,i must admit.(just my opinion).Johnny Lyndon(Johnny Rotten) put it the best "punks fucked punk".

@MrMaskita Thanks dude, Filth and the Fury does sound like something I'd be into. This is the way I look at it. I used to wonder what the hell goth was. Different people kept giving different answers. Come to find out, it doesn't mean anything, it's just clothes. Same thing with emo. I wondered what it was, found out it was just clothes. And I don't care about clothes, so I don't see any reason to talk about it or think about it.
thejesman 10 months ago
@MrMaskita I tend to assume everyone else has made the same conclusion I have, so I get annoyed when I still hear people talk about that stuff like they're music genres. I just feel the whole "emo" label has run its course by now.
That said, I do agree with you, in that I wish people would try a little harder to be individuals rather than follow the fashions of the day.

@wallymeldrum fats waller and howlin wolf. all his "influences" are jazz and bues performers. it's funny (funny "strange," that is) hearing sun ra referred to as "conventional," yes, sun ra DID become conventional. but that was just before he died, about ten years after this interview took place. in the late seventies, sun ra was still pretty out there........

there were tons of people afraid of rock in those days. my great uncle was caught by the mafia in the 70's for having a jimi hendrix museum shortly after jimi's passing. took and burned all the stuff jimi gave him.

Yeah, swans, I grew up on Snyder interviews. Cavett & Douglas & Paar were before my time. Mr. Rotten was about the only failed interview I've seen Snyder conduct. The duo from PIL made themselves pills from the start. Snyder wasn't going to sit there and play the square straw man to these impertinent jackanapes. All Snyder ever insisted upon was a baseline of mutual desire for *conversation*. Some guests only want to be pandered to, or a forum to sell their prepared statements.

Who cares what Iggy was "on" and why is it any of your business? Unlike most of those who commented here that live in their mom's basement, I grew on the east side in the 70's listening and actually attending shows when everyone was so self involved with their "image" Iggy had already been pounding out raw energy for over a decade. You idiots wouldn't have had the balls to be Iggy fans, it meant you where a scumbag. Now that he makes all kinds of money, you treat him like a God.

Love Iggy. Funny how people misread Tom Snyder. He was great, he treated artists respectfully and had his very square sense of humor. Always complimented the artist. Not every TV host was bringing Iggy or Wendy O. Williams to their shows. Dick Cavett was another good one. Nowadays other hosts would bring these kind of artists for the shock and the laughs. Snyder and Cavett could ironize or be sarcastic and still treat the artist seriously.

All the tough bullshit in his life was the breeding ground for the most fertile Ig-sure alot was his own doing, but that period between New Values and Party was Iggy at his highest struggle point and also Iggy at his rawest and most creatively powerful.I saw the Party show (w/ Nash the Slash!) and he looked real bad-his tough life makes for great music-ICON.
