The Stooges - Not Right

[Luugoom]

OUOUOUO AJAM

[tiptopdadddy]

I think The Stooges are very similar to Black Sabbath.

[iheartthesmalls]

Those pseudo-intellectuals aren't my friends lol

[britbaby777]

This is the only Stooges that I would say isn't their best. I actually think this song sucks. Sorry Jesus.

[OtherSideOfArgument]

Its about a girls period right? XD

[simionTheOne]

love sonic youths use of this song in bad moon rising, great album

& this song is fuckin beast

[dmdiamond220]

if you wanna turn me on, just turn on the stooges

[The4thGuy]

@rickatart Nothing wrong with Rush or Sabbath.

[RockNfuckinRoller97]

@The4thGuy or cooper or kiss

[MrVoyaging]

@rickatart Don't get me wrong, The Stooges are possibly my favorite band of all time (toss-up between them, The Velvet Underground, The Doors, and The Rolling Stones), but Black Sabbath is pretty bad ass.

[wherezmybailout]

one of best stooges...nothing works except this

[mikexlong]

Stooges, Cream, Doors, Sabbath, Pentagram and Blue Cheer. forefathers of doom.

[psychodamned]

@mikexlong Roy Orbison . . . . . total black doomed lyrics, a reject.......

[StephenGuyler]

Like this if you were brought here by Sonic Youth!

[rokitalaw]

[oneohsix48th]

Long Live the Stooges! I wore this record out! Got kicked out of collegebecause of this record. Man how Iggy and the MC5 changed my life!

[MrAllthatnmore]

@oneohsix48th LMAO!

[oneohsix48th]

Long Live the Sooges! I wore this record out! Got kicked out of collegebecause of this record. Man how Iggy and the MC5 changed my life!

[TheScottrocks9]

This guy called Iggy always gives me a laugh, as well as something to think about. Hard to beat.

[locolegsharvey]

dont know if this has been said before but....... hardest button to button??

[sebasp777]

hhahaha can't believe i never listened to iggy pop before.. gurrayt sheet

[4lyftupac]

the stooges are the best punk rock band to have ever existed, many artist try to out do him but the truth is they will never accomplish so might as well quit!! thats just my opinion

[neovlascen]

fuck,i'm shaking (to cold)

[garagerawk27]

If you don't like both the stooges and qotsa, you're fucking doing it wrong.

[deSadetheImpaler]

@rickatart Sabbath is over blown ? Silliest thing Ive heard on utube in quite some time.Why don't you people stfu about what you don't like,and instead use this forum to expose young listeners to bands you enjoy..WHAT A CONCEPT

[PIXFACTORYitalia]

queens of the stone age are NOT in the same world as The Stooges.

[flakbac]

as important as anything brian jones did with the rolling stones

[TheLlamaEater]

This is used at the end of Sonic Youth's "Society is a Hole" on Bad Moon Rising. Should look it up if you haven't heard it

[ManilaSyndicate]

@rickatart Well stated. Though I like the artists you mention, you have a point.

[rickatart]

@ManilaSyndicate yeah, no offence meant to other acts, I have them in the collection ; it's just an opinion. I like Aerosmith, Stones, ZZ Top, loads of others. Simply put, when I heard the first three Stooges albums, it moved everything else to the back of the bus.

[rickatart]

simple and awesome. 

[deplorablecunt]

this song literally just rocked my socks off.

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

this is psychedelic rock

[karlmopmod13]

early punk like mc5 stooges and ny dolls are the best

[0live0wire0]

this song makes me wanna do hard drugs, sounds so trashy. The whole album is a masterpiece.

[mikexlong]

punk before punk, no matter what genre ppl think they are.

[Alphabex8]

this is why i love this shit: i'm picturing all the music during 1969 and none of it sounds like this. this song is the blueprint for the next 20-30 years of punk & heavy metal.

[dirtynuke]

Iggy was a total fucking ass kicker. Just a fucking maniac cheetah on speed.

[dirtyanimal80]

the stooges invented kicking ultimate Ass

[thedeparted12345]

What a great punk/proto-punk song!!! What's your favorite part: The slow pace or the solo? Fucking idiots.

[sonictrasher]

I'm not right

[UZIsuicide9111]

the stooges were punk rock. proto-punk isnt a genre it means they were a punk band that orginated before 1977 and the term "punk rock" was invented its punk rock they just didnt have a name for it yet had the stooges got together in 77/78 they wud have been considered a punk band without a doubt in my mind. the same cannot be said for mc5 tho or velvet underground which is why i say The Stooges were the first punk band ever

[BuckeyeSquadron]

How cool it was to see these guys play in Detroit in '07 at the Fox Theater. Oh I wish I was like the rest of the fans dancing with Iggy on the stage :)

[MOSTechnology]

Ahh...the old "who invented punk" arguments - yet again...getting boring now. Just enjoy the fucking music and leave that to the historians. Lifes too short.

[Merzbowxnoise]

Best song from their first album!!!

[indoorsun]

Thanx for puttin the Stooges on here dude

Paul..

[anablic]

yes - Iggy playing the vaccuum cleaner at the Grande Ballroom ... wearing a gold foil wig of some kind ... I remember THAT !!

[anablic]

yes - Iggy playing the vaccuum cleaner at the Grande Ballroom ... wearing a gold foil wig of some kind ... I remember THAT !!

[hardcorepunkable]

what a song!!

[wisdomtoknow]

mikexlong - I know what you mean. But, the first Stooges album was not the ugliest out there. Top 40 music was the ugliest. Why? The Stooges, genuinely expressed the anger that was underlying turbulent rebellious times. The direct non poetical lyrics mixed with simple war drum / wah wah pulses empathized with you...some understanding, a declaration of freedom, and fueled you to kick ass.

And it made you happy. Anyway, that's what I recall.

[wisdomtoknow]

moLeOnPoT ...you are correct. I was there at that place and time. The Stooges ( originally the Psychedelic Stooges ) were just doing their thing. I can tell you that within the music scene in Detroit 1967-1970 they were always stand out. It did not matter who they warmed up for. I loved them but not everyone took them seriously. They faded away until they were resurrected by British Punk in the mid-70's

along with the MC5. Minimalist indeed!

[moLeOnPoT]

ah and i might add that i guess in the beginning neither the stooges nor the ramones saw themselves as "Punk" or as the creators of a new style of music...they just wanted to play their own understanding of what Rock n Roll is supposed to be...let's thank them!

[ADAtl11]

@moLeOnPoT thank you i couldnt have put it any better out then you did...perfection

[moLeOnPoT]

the stooges were close to punk in many songs. "cock in my pocket" and "i got a right" for example...but still these songs also sound like drugges up avantgarde while the ramones sound was much more straight.

[moLeOnPoT]

rockandrollchuck i agree with you...the line has to be drawn somewhere. there are bunch of bands that had punk elements before the ramones, like the ones you mention, or the sonics, los saicos, ton steine scherben (german band)...but the ramones defined punkrock for me. its about the atmosphere...listen to the ramones first record. it will be an entirely other feeling than you get from the stooges...

[Utah165]

I really love this song. I prefer the alternate mix (non John Cale) on disc 2 of the the mastered CD though. Pretty much sums the essence conjugal bliss gone sour. The best part is the symetrical simplicity of the gender inverted lyrics married to Ron's incomperable proto-bummer rock chord sequence, Minimalism at its best. Makes me smile every time I hear it.

[eyelovedonna4ever]

Utah165! Perfect description of this song! my fav stooges cut!

[nipperj61]

absolute class real R&B on full punked up power iggy is the boss baby

[hardcorepunkable]

really the best song from the stooges,the very first punk song,second punk love song after the i wanna be your dog

[loopylaaloo]

The guitar on this song is shockingly amazing.

[moLeOnPoT]

this song predicted both punk and metal, in my opinion.

[moLeOnPoT]

so ahead of its time....

[animal90sFreak5]

Great,this whole album is very good.

[marcfedak]

This song is my favourite Iggy song from this album. It's a precursor to Black Flag's "Nervous Breakdown". I love Ron Ashton's demented lead playing.

[iownduncan]

Why so short:(

anyway a great song a real great song that is inspierd me:)

Srry for bad english

[circletyrant]

what an inspiration. I want some more of this song.

[ManilaSyndicate]

Fantastic. I just close my eyes, bow my head, and lose it when this song comes through the speakers. Sexy, driving, menacing - The Stooges and the MC5 had that macho sound that still made one's loins stir.

The lyrics are simple but moving, they have this resonating vibe, a timeless feel to it. Jesus.

[rondoliomercutio]

jesus had nothing to do with this music.

[ADAtl11]

why the fuck u call the stooges punk? they there own genre u fuckin dumbass.

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

they invented proto-punk u fucking dick

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

they didn't set thier mind or vision on "inventing proto punk"......they just played rock n roll dirtier than thier peers, and a bunch on posers followed them

[UZIsuicide9111]

@SlaytanicMegaforce proto means before it means the stooges were a punk band before the concept of punk was fully devolped as a specific style back then at the the time they were just fucking puzzled and ddint know wut to call it. but proto-punk isnt a genre

[daven58100]

@SlaytanicMegaforce Also, Iggy has been credited with invention of stage-diving.

[Grizzlism]

@daven58100

Some people say it was Jim Morrison, but I've never really seen a reliable source for that. In 'Please Kill Me' they say it was Iggy, though.

[helenkrump]

@daven58100 I was at the Stooges shows in at the Whiskey in LA in '73, and I can vouch for the fact that Iggy went off the stage & into the waiting arms of the audience (where they did unspeakable things to him, LOL.)

[CrapLode66]

@SlaytanicMegaforce to me they are punk. to be punk, means to be different.

[unfamous13]

Ive always hated that title of "Proto Punk". The Stooges are Rock n roll. I dont get why everything always needs to be categorized and put into a genre and things have to get so technical. The term had no existance when they were around

[BeatleFan93]

@unfamous13

I always thought of the Stooges as Rock n Roll as well.

[CrazyDan1984]

@unfamous13 when they started a punk was someone who got fucked in the ass in prison

[unfamous13]

@CrazyDan1984

.. I know that. Its a term that can still mean that, especially in prison.

[electricTusk]

@SlaytanicMegaforce again....proto punk isn't a genre. it was a term used to categorize the bands that basically started punk rock. what you want to say is that "they invented punk rock u fucking dick"

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

@electricTusk again.... 'deys inventah prwowto-pünk ju fuckin' dikk'. Old comment, i must have been a dumb piece of shit back then.

[electricTusk]

@SlaytanicMegaforce dude you are not dumb for saying that at all... I applaud you for even knowing the term proto punk and I also applaud you for posting this song. you are the man in my book!

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

@electricTusk It's cool, man. I was just shitting around. Thanks for your comment anyways.

[kristapuciitis]

@SlaytanicMegaforce but one of first proto-punk song is The Who- My Generation (1965) Probably they invented proto-punk

[SlaytanicMegaforce]

@kristapuciitis True, or You Really Got Me. Fuck proto-punk though. It's all rock.

[kristapuciitis]

@SlaytanicMegaforce Rock 4 life! :D

[electricTusk]

@kristapuciitis agreed.

[arseropes]

@electricTusk

By that logic no genre is a genre.

[electricTusk]

@arseropes for example, you can call Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath proto-metal because they are the forefathers of metal (room for debate). No one says I listen to "proto-metal" though...you know? They say I listen to metal or classic rock (genres). Same with protopunk. Stooges, MC5 and NY Dolls are commonly considered the forefathers of punk (room for debate). They term those bands protopunk. You don't say "I listen to protopunk"  It's all just rock and roll anyway.

[jumpinjackflash1968]

The birth of punk

[bowiemars]

@jumpinjackflash1968 this is more elegant than  the punk dude

[fuckamericanidiot]

@bowiemars elegant?

[commi3d0ntcar3]

@jumpinjackflash1968 id say the Kinks

[jjerusaffelix]

:) é muito boooooommmmm é otimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love Iggy - I love you stooges

[Evilpacman828]

not right sound like a perfect queens of the stone age song. if you hear the lyrics and guitar ron plays after the verse, sounds like a typical queens of the stone age song :P

[greekdub]

Actually, Qotsa used the intro for the chorus of that "feel good hit of the summer" track. You know, the "co-co-co-co-co-cocaine" bit.

[zmoore83]

queens of the stone age are NOT on the same level as The Stooges.

[IgNaceus]

@zmoore83 Very few are

[fuckamericanidiot]

@zmoore83 i would agree but i would also say that josh homme took it to new levels with the first two albums especially. drugged and seedy, but much more focussed. not saying they're better though. if i had to pick one to see in their prime, iggy or queens it'd be a tough decision. iggy would probably be the wisest choice :)

[MattyStevensonBishop]

@fuckamericanidiot isn't it wonderful tht you don't have to pick, tho?

[borgorusky]

Sure you can't coz it's fantastic
