I don't know where people get the whole "Iggy & the Stooges were the original punk rockk band." I don't know a whole lot about music, but I can trace the roots of punk in the late 70s. It started with the Ramones, who were the true first as far as all "history lessons" I've heard & read. Iggy & many other bands influenced punk to a huge degree, but I wouldn't include Iggy in the fold of punk music.....maybe I'm wrong.
@ProChoiceJesus well y'know the roots of punk are actually in protopunk bands of the sixties, like mc5 and the stooges. ramones might have been the first punk rock band but it certainly wasn't the first punk band, they were influenced by dozens of protopunks before them. and iggy was probably the most influential so it's kind of fair to call him the pioneer of punk.
@ProChoiceJesus You are wrong .. you best consider THE IG!..The guy is immortal amongst men..PUNK PIONEER even before the Dead Kennedys and Ramones and the Clash no disrespect too those fine chaps..
Iggy you are one of the coolest people i've ever known. I saw you at the hop farm festival and you blew me away! A real inspiration for someone of your young age.
ok, so now, we should kind of start another absurd discussion because too much water has passed down the bridge already, so who has something controversial to propose? I don't, I love both Bowie and Jim and understand English grammar also.
@legubreous i made that comment a year ago. it's just a mistake.. holy crap. it's not the end of the world. you think i care if some random people think i'm "ignorant"? um no not really. get out of here please.
I think they were talking about the song China Girl which iggy sang before David covered it, I dont think they meant Bowie wasent famous in 77, because he certianly was
goddamn shut your mouth asshole...you...the guy talking so much shit about bowie, fuck you mr boring ass republican reporter, you don't know how to difference shit from piss
Attended this concert in 1977 at the now long gone 'Seneca Field House', Toronto,Canada..the only place to really be.
Iggy yanked down a 40 foot light stand almost cracked David on the skull...Dave wearing his aviators n black leather, Iggy , well his usual madness...
Thanks for this ...n stayed home from high school and watched them do 'Funtimes', from the then,new album if Iggy's, The Idiot....great time from my generation...the Greatest Generation...always was, always will be..
Iggy is the younger of both, and he was inspired by Bowie, and Bowie was inspired by Marc Bolan,Bowies first recording was ,as Backgroundsinger, on the Song The Wizzard by T.Rex. was in 1967 or 68. And the Song Chinagirl is Music:Bowie,Brian Eno Lyrics: Iggy Pop----- was first recorded in Paris for an Album of Iggy.
Oh! Now I need to go find this whole interview! I remember sitting in front of the TV as a very small kid, watching Dinah Shore...I had no idea that the music I love now collided with the nice TV lady from my toddlerhood. What a strange juxtaposition.
@MrMrMojoRisin73 You do know the song is about Iggy's experiences being rejected by someone he met when working in France? She wasn't Chinese (I think she may have been Japanese or Korean, but she was married). The line "Oh, Jamie, just you shut your mouth" is supposedly what this woman said to Iggy when he attempted to declare his feelings, and the threat/warning of "I'll ruin everything you are" is more in-keeping with Iggy's self-destructive behaviour at the time.
Why am I looking at this? They ain't even dead yet. But... that time in their lives is. And our lives. Oh well, there's always another viewing of Velvet Goldmine.
can you people stop with the emo thing people cut them selves to handle depression how long have emos been around to be made out that emos invented it
What the hell do they mean "Long before Bowie made it famous"? That was after Bowie had already released Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Alladin Sane and Station to Station. The Idiot was released right after Low when David was quite well known, idiots.
@RiverSolitaire As Homebrew58 and Reint25 have already pointed out: They mean Iggy recorded the song China Girl (released on The Idiot in 1977) long before Bowie made this song famous (his version was released on Let's Dance and as a single in 1983).
Funny the announcer saying that Iggy recorded China Girl before Bowie got famous - This is '77 and Bowie kicked ass on several tours starting from '73 on (Santa Monica Arena show rocked).
@TheEnormousPianist Bowie started recording in the mid 1960's. He was touring in the UK long before 1973. And the announcer was referring to the song when he said "it"... "long before Bowie made -> it <- famous, Iggy recorded China Girl on his album, the Idiot".
Skulldini is right...of course there were antecedants to punk,Velvets, Stooges, Dolls,etc, being the immediate predecessors,as there are antecedants to everything.The pieces were always there, but when the pieces passed through the Ramones it came out, behold..punk rock! When I saw the Stooges on the Raw Power tour in 73 or 74 at the Victory Burlesque in Toronto, there was a very heavy glam rock element...glam rock gone mad! This is not to diminish the antecedents, so I don't get the anger.
I was 1 year old when this all took place. So unfair how I missed out. The internet is the only tool that the younger generations have to access great music nowadays. Today nothing but cursing and breasts catch the attention of most teens. Sad.(
@mjloy76 I know! I feel the same way. I could give a rats ass about modern music today, Hell I am 15 and majority of my ipod is filled with david bowie, and oldies. Ha, I find this music much more talent filled and worth listening to then the crap out today.
the orginal china girl sounds goth to me, Bowie made it a pop song. i think bowie took a lot of ideas from Iggy, bowie did the same with nine inch nails.
@theantisebby Okay, both you and the 29 people who gave you thumbs up..... not to mention Gorviee and his 35 people.... missed the facts. The guy said long before Bowie made China Girl famous it was on Iggy's album......not before Bowie made it famous. I'm pretty sure VH1 knows that Bowie has been known sense the late 60's.
"The Idiot" is stil a record ahead of this time, was a great influence for gothic rock, new-wave, until the post rock of today. Iggy was the rock soul and Bowie the mad doctor. The original China Girl is much better!
@Gorviee the commentator says: "long before bowie made "it" famous, iggy recorded chinagirl"....... "it" refers to "chinagirl", not "bowie". so he says that iggy recorded it(chinagirl) before bowie made it(chinagirl) famous; which is correct.
@hertzum ...EXACTLY! People should read lines fully before they go ape-freaking-out about misunderstandings, believing they can actually read between the lines, when there's nothing there!...Well, I guess that implies a little memory too, but you just can't hope everyone had come of age by the time the Idiot was out. And by the way ...erm..."gay lust in B's eyes"... do you mean professional comraderie? Were they together in Berlin? Doesn't alter a thing - they were great then.
i was referring to the fact that bowie created probably his most popular albums before 'the idiot' i was calling him an idiot cos he said 1977 was long before bowie became famous despite bowie havin released ten albums! nothin to do with china girl. and btw they did write the album together but iggys version wrecks bowies:)
You need to wake up and start with Ziggy Stardust from '73 maybe even earlier and then u will see how Bowie has been [cliche] reinventing himself for some thirty years.
What the hell are you talking about? First of all, Ziggy Stardust came out in '72, not '73. Secondly, I said those albums weren't as mainstream until about '83. Just because his earlier work was popular didn't mean it was mainstream.
@BreakingGlass77 omg..here we go with intellectual snobbery. "It came out in 72 not 73" wow he was one year off big woop as if it makes a big difference. calm down, wikipedia guru master.
few days ago, i wrote in my notebook: child, every time when you feel that world is fake, that you're not the same person, please, find a video of Iggy's Pop concert. Look at this genius and give up on your thoughts. If you'd like to learn emotions, let James to be your authority.
@AbsenceGetsFlagged I think the Rmones were the first full-fledged punk group though. Before the Ramones there may have been groups that were INFLUENTIAL on punk, yet weren't really punk in themselves. Like The Velvet underground were really an experimental art-rock group, The Stooges and Dictators were really more heavy metal, The Dolls were really glam, the Fugs were more psychadelic, The Kinks were more 60's garage,.. ( contd. )
@Skulldini ( Contd. ) .. but The Ramones were the group that really made punk into an established, exclusive and distinct full-blown genre. Thats how I see it anyway.
@Skulldini Bullshit! The Stooges were the first dude. So sick of people thinkin it was the Ramones. And in a lot of way the Ramones paid more homage to classic rock and even doo-wop. People wanna think they were the first just cause of their mainstream appeal that they had. Turn off the TV and open a damn book
@AbsenceGetsFlagged punk rock has nothing to do with music, its an idea, iggy was the grandfather, the ramones were the fathers, the clash and sex pistols were what everything added up to
@AbsenceGetsFlagged I have a 1973 'Story of Pop' magazine that has a whole chapter entitled 'Punk Rock'. The chapter talks about The Stooges, The Electric Prunes, the Fugs and others. I know it's at my parent's house, somewhere. i really ought to dig it eyet.
"I've had threatment for this really", refering towards self unjury. People laugh because they don't really know what to think when he's so explicit and open in an interview, let alone on a show like this.
Actually......yes, a psychiatrist. In 1974, some time after the notorious chest cutting incident he was admitted to an excelllent psychiatric hospital, Neuropsychiatric Institute in LA after an arrest. This let to a long positive relationship with a psychiatrist Murray Zucker. Iggy got off heroin there and never used again. Although he continued to consume blow, hash and booze and problems were far from over, his "junk" chapter was. By the way, his dad's heath insurance paid for it.
The Dinah Shore audience was a well-habituated group of animals, wasn't it? The "virtue" of human intelligence is that we're more susceptible to be trained to titter on cue...

@AbsenceGetsFlagged I think the Rmones were the first full-fledged punk group though. Before the Ramones there may have been groups that were INFLUENTIAL on punk, yet weren't really punk in themselves. Like The Velvet underground were really an experimental art-rock group, The Stooges and Dictators were really more heavy metal, The Dolls were really glam, the Fugs were more psychadelic, The Kinks were more 60's garage,.. ( contd. )

@Skulldini ( Contd. ) .. but The Ramones were the group that really made punk into an established, exclusive and distinct full-blown genre. Thats how I see it anyway.

@Skulldini Ramones? Iggy Pop changed ramones diapers! :D

@Skulldini Bullshit! The Stooges were the first dude. So sick of people thinkin it was the Ramones. And in a lot of way the Ramones paid more homage to classic rock and even doo-wop. People wanna think they were the first just cause of their mainstream appeal that they had. Turn off the TV and open a damn book

@AbsenceGetsFlagged punk rock has nothing to do with music, its an idea, iggy was the grandfather, the ramones were the fathers, the clash and sex pistols were what everything added up to

532bluepeter 1 year ago
@AbsenceGetsFlagged I have a 1973 'Story of Pop' magazine that has a whole chapter entitled 'Punk Rock'. The chapter talks about The Stooges, The Electric Prunes, the Fugs and others. I know it's at my parent's house, somewhere. i really ought to dig it eyet.

What does iggy say at 1'22"->1'25", that makes people laugh, please?
watoowatootheband 2 years ago
"I've had threatment for this really", refering towards self unjury. People laugh because they don't really know what to think when he's so explicit and open in an interview, let alone on a show like this.

Thank you!
Now I wonder what kind of treatment he took, maybe a psychanalist?
watoowatootheband 2 years ago
Actually......yes, a psychiatrist. In 1974, some time after the notorious chest cutting incident he was admitted to an excelllent psychiatric hospital, Neuropsychiatric Institute in LA after an arrest. This let to a long positive relationship with a psychiatrist Murray Zucker. Iggy got off heroin there and never used again. Although he continued to consume blow, hash and booze and problems were far from over, his "junk" chapter was. By the way, his dad's heath insurance paid for it.

Why would they laugh after he said he had treatment for his self-abuse?
Jauwp 2 years ago
maybe they thought it was supposed to be funny or the bloke who tells the crowd to laugh told them to laugh. Respect, Iggy.

The Dinah Shore audience was a well-habituated group of animals, wasn't it? The "virtue" of human intelligence is that we're more susceptible to be trained to titter on cue...
