IGGY PoP AND THE STOOGES ON JONATHaN ROSS PART two

[cuppateadee]

some of us have never been part of the stereotype thats why i love him ive independently spent 3 months in nwfp pakistan and loved it am i mad too

[notfragile33]

Ron's my hero--and the best part is, he's just a regular Midwestern guy!

[leonakita]

@notfragile33 agreed,other than Ron's preoccupation with Nazi motifs and the like, he was by far the most level headed of the bunch... a real regular guy...hell, just happy to finally be able to own a new car! Sadly he passed and smartly replaced by James Williamson. Strange how James fills the same void that Ron did both with his regular guy image, and on guitar. Granted, James isn't as brutal a player as Ron, but he can deliver, & did give us Kill City and fits nicely in the Stooges saga.

[notfragile33]

@leonakita I felt the same way about James Williamson, the "regular guy" image and not as brutal as Ron, UNTIL I heard the original version of "I Gotta Right"-- is that not the MOST INSANE playing until 'thrash metal' came along? But then I found out he grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma, just down the road from me, before his family moved to Michigan, so he had a VERY 'normal' upbringing.

[leonakita]

@notfragile33 cool, yeah Wiliamson can rip and even he admits he has a bizarre style of play. ..I GOTTA RIGHT, musta schooled thousands of would be thrashers !

[TheScottrocks9]

Eff Russell Brand. he contaminates this video. Iggy is the greatest.

[SimonYoungJames]

@TheScottrocks9 Exactly what i thought the tit

[SystemBrandon]

Audience is fucking horrible.

[organaphus]

@SystemBrandon They don't deserve Iggy and the Stooges :(

[armandin2048]

Which Asheton ate all the pies?

[armandin2048]

The "beautiul" Ferne Cotton???? - Jonathan - STOP PICKING YOUR OWN MUSHROOMS!

[TheStones1967]

Now this is Music!!!

[herefordmsv]

Scott is such a chilled out dude.

[herefordmsv]

Ah poor Ron...Found it quite touching that he was so pleased to have his FIRST NEW CAR! He was a good guy. RIP Ron.

[pinch18]

One person either clicked the wrong button, or is a total cunt.

[luvwings]

what's with the suits in the audience?

[MrKtw15]

Amazing performance. It's unfortunate that the reactions of the people in the first row made it one of the most awkward things I've ever seen.

[angrysamoan666]

Iggy and Bowie rule

The fatty middle dude LOL

[clamslamma]

hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa1



[fjbutch]

Such a Dude ....

[Jeffro321]

Mike Watt kickin out the THUNDER BASS....

[PAULFC93]

There are a lot of positive things about being british....but OMFG we have some of the worst fuckin audiences on earth....Iggy Pop is a legend, keep on rockin dude!

[Firstcontact]

Gorra love the riff for this

[FutureKubrick]

R.I.P. Ron :(

[desasterz]

Noooooo do TV EYEEEEEE!!!!

[kirkwallboy]

That just blistered my brains.

[simmy3000]

Wewl daan, that was grey!'

[komlaa2k]

7:21 , new suit?

[MrCrazyone99]

Iggy prfect! YEAAAH

[EllyMcCormack]

Pete Doherty, watch this performance and learn something.

[nikt]

haha "typical british audience". you do realise that the british started the whole moshing thing with pogoing to the sex pistols and other punk bands.

[jkoff76]

Bullshit!!! That was hardcore.  Love yah guys. But you really aren't violent enough for that.

[nikt]

that's funny because seeing as most bands get popular in the u.k. first and then big in the u.s.a. e.g. the ramones, pixies, nirvana, sonic youth etc. and most bands say that they get a better reaction in the u.k. (atleast when they start) makes me think you are wrong.

peace. x

p.s. i think you're very mistaken about the english being violent, just because we don't have guns doesn't mean that if you say the wrong thing to the wrong person that they won't beat the shit out of you.

[jkoff76]

No, that started with Hardcore.

[nikt]

you can't make a statement and not back it up with evidence. ramones audiences regularly danced and they told people to chill out when hardcore sent it into violent moshing. and how can you say that the british didn't start it all off. i'm pretty sure you could find some videos of the sex pistols where people are dancing from before americans had even heard of punk. apparently it was a guy they nicknamed pogo pete who started it (that could be bullshit though, nevertheless my point stands)

[kidcalabria]

@nikt

Actually, it's a well-known fact that Sid Vicious invented the Pogo, before he joined the Sex Pistols, when he was a just a fan (friend of Johnny Rotten) who followed them everywhere. He started it to provoke & push around some other people in the audience who he didn't like, i.e: the so-called Bromley Contingent, a gang of Punk Rockers/ Pistols fans that included Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severin (Siouxsie's future bassist), Billy Idol, etc.. nevertheless your point does remain indeed

[angrysamoan666]

@nikt too fucking right mate

At the ramones everbody danced I was dancing myself

Followed them pogoing like a mad cunt

[kazcjow]

the audience are lame yes, but its got nothing to do with being british, remember its a chatshow, not a gig.. the people who go see these chatshows live want to see cunts like madonna or some bit-part actress, or russel brand who was there.. i doubt the majority of people who went that night have even heard stooges music.

[rawford89]

well said!

[cousiwa09]

AAAARRRHHH!!!! FUCK, I LOVE HIM!! COME ON!!!!!! oh this is fantastic inter and footage, THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!! CHEERS MATE!

[IdaSputum]

THAT is HOW its DONE! - Rock ON Ron AshTON!!

TOTAL INSPIRATION

[GLeNss]

shit audience, I would have killed my sister to be there!

[spitruf]

hahahah awesome.... Mr. Watt doing his thang! The audience is unbelievable....This 2000something for g-sake!!!!

[TheVteced]

Typical british audience sit still and try not to get noticed =(

[theoreilly]

You've got to be kidding. As an American, I'm so sick and tired of audiences trying to be part of the act. If I was in the audience I would have been relieved to be able to enjoy the performance without audience members trying to get noticed by Iggy or the cameras.

[starqz]

@theoreilly Iggy was trying to get the audience to interact with HIM, not the other way around.

As an audience member I find it flattering if a rock star cares to interact with me in the crowd. Mick Jagger, Marilyn Manson, and Steven Tyler have all tried to interact with me in the front row- and succeeded. Fun for them as well as for me:)

[jimbobv8]

A great band saw em live, Iggy is amazing, The Stooges blew the roof off that place.

[steviefar]

i love how uncomfortable that guy looks when iggy leans over him.

[PolexiaAphrodisia]

I say them live it's one of the best shows I've ever saw!!!!

[LC9107]

It's almost painful to watch the crowd being so lame but I guess they are a talk show audience not a rock show audience.

[JamesWilliamson82]

omg this crowd was so lame

[ninaisthekoolest]

i know! i would be so fucking excited!

[dudebearpig05]

god these people are stupid they didn't even cheer for the legendary stooges what a boring crowd

[paulcage79]

RIP

[onesickbreh]

i guess if its a talk show audience that are all already in seats anyone would feel self concious getting up and going for it properly, plus theyre not all gonna be there to see him perform.

[Shonaripa]

how come he's ripped like a chimp?

[bigdaddypaint]

what a typical english audience!!!! LAME!!!!!! Did they even know what they were witnessing??

[LC9107]

its got nowt to do with them being english. Im english and I've never seen an audience this pathetic. maybe they were told to stay in their seats or something. Health and Safety and shit.

[Pratchett08]

guys... we should have been there, jumping over the front seats and starting a moshpit in front of iggy

[ybot1983]

greatest band of all time i cant believe the audience didnt go wild

[starstuff]

Why does Jonathan's audiences look asleep?

[StereoTypeA]

ha that poor guy Iggy was all on. I would have done SOMETHING for the sake of the performance at least. I DO feel kind of self concious around others but I would never dream of letting down Iggy Pop;)

[ybot1983]

i would off got on the stage with himm

[Radz117]

I want iggy's jeans.

[GANGARENE]

Wonderful stuff...that guitar is the shit...and Iggy...well, what can I say...he'd need to beat me off with a rather large shitty stick....

[melmothd]

fuckin hell! he turned the studio into a festival arena in a few secs!

[FilmFreak1988]

worst crowd ever!

[JTlat]

I agree that(crowd) it might be because of them being on TV.

[JTlat]

People these days are used to observing things. They don't join, part to the fun they

could be having. They looked at Iggy PoP with fear of embaressing them selves, fake smiles...

I don't know what they were feeling but fucking hell they are not "living".. :(

[tedstavridis]

how can an audience be so void of emotion?

[danzinin]

what a boring audience i'd b gettin rowdy n naked who cared if i got thrown out!

[mhgolgothica]

RIP Ron Ashton

[thefdt]

thats not really representative of the whole of britain you should see us at reading festival, glasto stuff like that, we go more fucking mental than any other nation, just this audience is made up of 40 year olds.

[glennirish]

coldplay<<Balless, souless, spiritless little corporate fucking puppets.

[pellit93]

coldplay make me sick

[solid220]

fucking brits are so stiff its rediculous as the guy said in the comments to much fucking coldplay honestly let loose grow some pubes and ROCK OUT

[NonStopJulioA]

man the audience sucks.

[04adamski]

true i would be goin fuckin mental if i were there

[ninaisthekoolest]

but its tv, so they probably tell them not to act as if it were a concert, you know? but seriously, they're dull!

[Howsoonisnow2009]

Now I'm ready to be your dog

[Kickflip91]

do they even know who iggy is? xD

[kyle2point]

"you just do what you do, it's music, just do what you feel, and if you don't feel anything, you should get the fuck out,' amazing

[tkmat]

so much passion for what he does. iggy is a legend.

[paddymourinho]

to be fair, what do you expect the audience to do..most of them probly dont even like the music.....

[degaulle30]

The audience look like they dont even know rock music. Too much Coldplay and Kooks over the last few years, not enough vibrant passion on the airwaves.

[Procie28]

Best crowd ever......haha

[GlobalPunditOrg]

is that mike watt on bass? saw their first pre reunion performance with kevin shields and j mascis...elf ower opened...wotta show...

[stevensteel11]

hahaha... good old Iggy... the audience look TERRIFIED when he's in their faces . hahaha wot a legend

[fleetwood86]

It's nice to see that the boys appreciated the host's intelligence and knowledge. They responded with a kick-ass performance, even if it was before largely pensioners.

[EuanMcKee1984]

crowd are well square like, shitting bricks so they are!

[centuryman007]

The old bugger looks like hell, skin like an elephants nut sack! must be all those years of smoking spider webs! haha still good on him for keeping the 60's and 70's alive and kicking

[AreYouIrrelevant]

lol how many times does jonathan say great at the end, his voice cracks me up , cool guy

[Quevida55]

Ron seems pretty cool.

[ramomeramone]

Thank dog for god.

[cevert1973]

True legends

[Electra100]

R.I.P Ron :(

[schriverjacob]

Iggy and The stooges playing "Now I Wanna be your dog".

That's Rock'N'roll

!!!!

[tab1990]

This is the problem when you get a band like the stooges on some BBC show with there 9-5 shithead lifes crowd, they just sit like there on a fucking bus ride, useless cunts.

R.I.P Ron.

[flowerpower1611]

I agree 100%. They don't deserve to even fucking be there. >:|

[DrBaddo]

Piss take isn't it. You could see Iggy trying to best but still wasn't enough for those pompus fuckers.

R.I.P Ron

[jkoff76]

Amen.

[tacomadc]

Classic - absolutely brilliant - God bless you Ron.

[TravelingZeppelins]

I love how scared everyone in the audience is!

[jamianm]

Haha yeah. So proper. I love the british

[THEDWARVESMUSTDIE]

most of the audience probally never heard of the stooges before. Ross had some cool people on his show though. RIP Ron

[Oxide333500]

Iggy Rules!!

[deadpool1102]

I had trouble watching him perform with all those lazy ass motherfuckers in the audience.

I swear, what were they expecting?

[kmarhet]

The British are very reserved, that's why they sit there all quiet. In 1972 he was pulling the girls hair at their London shows to get them to react!

[harryspoonpotter]

yer but u shud see british crowds now. plus ive heard loads of american musicians saying british crowds are insane conpared to most american crowds

[kmarhet]

I'm sure that's true. I mean in the punk days in London they used to bottle people. I just meant that when the Stooges played King's Cross in 1972, Iggy was leaping over people and literally grabbing people's hair.

Supposedly Johnny Rotten was in the crowd that night also...

[evilresidence4]

i know the audience sucks they weren't ever cheering or nothin

[cthulufunk]

I'm glad they're back together, they finally get to enjoy the fruits of their labor and see how many fans they have now, especially the Ashetons. Too bad Dave Alexander didn't make it. They do a good job for guys pushing 60.

[jake27smith]

Quality when he gets in suit and tie mans face, proper hates people like that

[nellster66]

iggy fucking rocks!

even if he looks like hes just been dug up!

lol

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

re: The performance. Wow, Iggy is a fucking freak, and I mean that as a compliment! He's my dad's age as has way more energy and stage prescence than frontmen 40 years younger than him. And he lived hard! Its amazing that Keith Richards is still alive but he does look like death warmed over...

[goddogcattac696]

the audience are a right bunch of square fucks who fuckin shit em selfs when iggy comes up.

[gorgonslave]

iggy should have slapped that guy

[francisanosissi]

johnathon as usual endearing himself at other peoples expense,then telling how much he loves them for helping him become the meglomaniac that he is.

[L0MDONER]

the guy is so darn cool :)

[indiolaiche]

Iggy is such a REAL person, so in your face, honest. loveable. rockstar.

[saraj12]

Iggy is a fucking rockstar

[lukeyboy3333]

iggy is a god, anyone who disagrees can get fucked. he was just himself, he always acts like that in performances, just watch any performance on youtube at a festival or a gig.

i saw the stooges last year and i still think they're the best live band i've seen, and i've seen alot of good bands.

iggy can out-perform most 20+ year old frontmen.

[budmotor]

I remember this periodist in Nirvana era

[VUandChips]

Embaressing. The more I see of the reformed stooges the more it detracts from the legendary band that made three of the world's best albums.

[thejesman]

I disagree. I've watched a bunch of their performances on youtube, and I think they sound awesome live. A lot of the songs from the first album in particular I think have really come to life in the last few years.

[HappyMons]

Johnathan Ross is an overpaid devil's advocate. He does get credit for asking questions no one else will- so what???

Stooges started a lot of stuff we take for granted. That means creating, not criticism, Johnathan, you stale bowl of porridge....

[cholling]

Letterman is miserable. Leno is goofy. O'Brien isn't funny and never has been. So, it's nice to have a youtube alternative in the form of J. Ross who has a quick wit and hosts a more daring show than the above. The show's more interesting to look at too with its very colourful set, a four-man choir greeting each guest, and a giant screen to play vid clips and allow the host to interact with the guests on hold. Plus, it's produced in a country foreign to mine. Great show all around!

[HappyMons]

Hate to burst your bubble. Humour is subjective, so there's no point to argue that, though Letterman's self deprecation shows a human side you won't get from the others. The production and writing, "5 poofs and a piano"(Ross's intro. words), have nothing to with Ross. The waiting rooms works OK, it deflates celebrity.

[cholling]

Hate to burst YOUR bubble, but mine has remained fully intact.

[HappyMons]

Cool.

[billyposter]

He was playing to a bunch of stiffs

[cholling]

Well, what did you expect, people to be dancing in the aisles? These were just ordinary people of all ages, not a bunch of rowdies at a soccer match.

[nattt23]

Lol, the audience seemed stunned and embarrassed!! Its rock n roll man!! They couldve made an effort! Iggy was given em everything!

[transonicbuoy1]

The Smiths. New Order. It's your life. then, 17 years later, you need the real thing, live. Thanks.

[monkeymichel]

i like how iggy introduces mike watt and steve mckay at the end. other big stars rarely do that. and he does it loud and clear. iggy is a humble old rocking dude.

[stooge62]

lol pause at 4:40

[Z1cky]

Lol @ the audience.

[assitch6]

lmao @ 5:58. classic

[peterice84]

Iggy's leering menace when he approached the scared Harvey during The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is a powerful reminder of what great rock and roll moments are all about!

BTW, James Williamson is still alive...

[Gendroginy]

teach ya indie bastards a lesson

[hyperpoesia]

ah, lovely. these guys are so unpretentious and talented and committed

[DangerousBastard]

This must be the coolest and most entertaining Jonathan Ross show EVER! :-)

[ninelivecat]

Cool That's my mate Steve at 7.30 He was made up about it

[nattt23]

Lol, he didnt seem very excited! Im not being a prick or anything, im just sayin!

[ninelivecat]

He was just trying to be cool I guess It's hard to know how you would react in a situation like that I guess you don't want to be star struck

[bangtwister]

Great Clip! Such a shame the audience are all squares and stiffs - Iggy is wasted on them.

[lapislazuli7]

But playing ROCK for a sitting audience is always stupid,

I hate concerts with seats! Poor Iggy...

[lopsidedsubmarine]

its not exactly a fucking concert u bunch of tools

[playboyjohnny]

twat

[hikariUK]

hahaha look at the pissed off audience with frozen face!!

hilarious

[cripescate]

I really enjoyed this recent Stooges interview. Mike Watt wasnt cool enough to be included?

[negergreger88]

I read some interviews with him, he says he dont want to interfere anything, and besides it was an interview with the original stooges not mike watt :)

He's awesome though and a great replacement for dave alexander!

[kidcalabria]

Mike Watt wasn't an original Stooge. Bass player Dave Alexander died of a heroin overdose a long time ago. In 1973 Ron Asheton moved on bass & they had James Williamson on guitar (Raw Power album, 1973). Then Williamson died of an overdose. Stephen McKay on sax played on Funhouse, their second album (1970). Mike Watt was in The Minutemen, a California Punk band from the 80s, & joined the reformed Stooges.

[slalomluke]

James Williamson is alive and well working with computer technology in Silicon Valley.

[kidcalabria]

Thanks,I know now Williamson is alive, but he was erroneously reported deceased in the press several years ago.. They might have confused him with Dave Alexander who died from alcohol abuse & not from drugs related problems. Thanks for putting that right.

[Chunkazoota]

If he'd got all up in my face like that I'd have grabbed his hair. I love Iggy.

[goldenultra]

I did see Iggy in Glastonbury on youtube, it was choas, but fun.

[ambo65]

great to see Iggy still making studio audiences squirm - love it!!!those shites are so uncomfortable he he he. Stooges sound brill!

[allentg]

awesome...he rocked glastonbury

[Jimmy8806]

audiences at these are always middle class stiffs in suits

[shadowplay86]

You'd never guess it was an english audience :)

[johnnybum1]

hi looking for a copy of iggy at glastonbury 2007 my video player not working

[ambo65]

johnnybum1- go to bbc4 to download the gig - it's great!

[waitresskill]

Still rockin'! nice one! Thanx for sharing it. I wonder what he was saying to that man in the audience...
