  • This reminds me of the ''Type O Negative'' version of ''Like a Virgin''. lol. and man, look at all that scar tissue on his torso from doing all that crazy Iggy stunts over the years!

  • The most awkward moment a the R&R hall of fame is rush not being in it.

  • it actually is a pretty good version, If I didnt know better I would think it was Stooges song

  • Iggy got to sing because he has better hair than Madonna.

  • @mcdstuff you're a blithering idiot ...go shuv some mcdoubles up ur ass Mr Mcd FluffandStuff !

  • @mcdstuff 2 years

    

  • Applauds to Madonna for pressuring THE HALL to induct The Stooges via such passive aggressive moves!

  • That was fucking beautiful!

  • This is pure fucking gold. First of all, all the Richie McRichwhites up in the front row, who can't get their heads around the punk gods in front of them. Second, Watt playing bass: dude is a longtime Madonna fan! All the haters can come right here and kiss my shiny new ass.

  • Iggy is just too fucking wild for something as tame and tepid as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  • i like Iggy pop but this rendition of Ray of Light is friggin stupid and horrible..

  • why doesnt madonna get a job shes qualified for. like a hooker

  • Why doesnt Iggy get a job he's qualified for, like slopping the hogs?! Talk about sucks, he probably cant tune a guitar and sounds and looks like something out of the ass of a pig! PT Barnum was right," there's a sucker born every minute"!!

  • did he come from the grave to sing he sucks i thought he was dead

  • what the fuck is justin timberlake doing there? Its like a tramp inviting himself into Buckingham Palace for dinner

  • He is too great , he always touch my heart deep down with his singing and music. God bless you Leonard

  • Poor Iggy is he limping?..... Or just skipping?

  • stunning...I am stunned

  • 2:11...proof, Justin Timberfake is a bobble-head doll !

  • Bloody awful.

  • a Detroit moment....good for Madonna...and good for Iggy that he went on and did it.

  • FEEL SOMETHING! lol

  • @mcdstuff

    Could be, might also be the truth. Just cause she's a media whore doesn't mean she hasn't made friends with people over the years that people might find surprising.

    As for what I listen to, I roll with everything from Mozart to Cradle of Filth, From John Denver to Sinatra, From The Wurzels, The Dubliners and The Pogues to Sonata Arctica and Stratovarious. John Lee Hooker to Sublime. And Most of that can be found in one playlist. So don't try to tell me about music Jr.

  • @mcdstuff

    I looked this video up after reading about it in wiki, according to that story Madonna had the Stooges perform in her place as a protest for them (the stooges) being passed over 6 times for induction. To stick it to the Hall of fame people as it were. So maybe you should rethink your position and gain some respect for Madonna rather than lose any for Iggy and the Stooges.

  • As long as Link Wray is not in the Hall of Fame, who's in it doesn't mean much. If you have to be a known money producing 'name' as opposed to dying on the road at 79, even after influencing a generation of guitarists. Madonna in, Link Wray out - it's a joke.

  • @mecormany Link who?

  • wear a fucking shirt man! no one wants to c that!

  • @coal1987 Dude, you can't ask Iggy pop to wear a shirt. That's like asking Chris Rock to stop being black, it's just what they do.

  • the rock n' roll hall of fame is a scam: you got to pay big bucks to win it.

    Iggy's cover of Madonna was an awesome parody.....hilarious...

  • I miss Ron.

  • worst stooges

  • That aint just Iggy. That the STOOGES MAN! and Watt!

  • WOW!!!!!! Iggy Pop has'nt changed in 100 years!!! Iggy was alwayss ugly, could never sing, but we always had a fantastiv time!!! Yeah for Bowie, Reed and Iggy!

  • whoa, anthony kiedis is looking sloppy -- oh, it's iggy (or was)

  • why does she seem so unhappy about him covering her song? i like the original song too. it makes her look high maintenance.

  • sadly after all the great artists of the 90's are inducted into the hall of fame there probably wont be anymore inductees for a very long time since nobody's making real music anymore.Seems like its all about image,fame,and fortune,soThere's nobody left thats worth inducting.Anyone else agree?

  • @Lightner445555555555 well, ppl. said that about elvis presley and chuck berry back in the days of frank sinatra & bing crosby

  • @Lightner445555555555 well, ppl. said that about elvis presley and chuck berry back in the days of frank sinatra & bing crosby 

  • This is without a doubt the only interesting and entertaining thing ever shown on the utterly nonsensical "R'N'R" Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony. Ron's atonal noise solo and the horrified looks on the faces of those rich jew A&R men, producers and label owners as Iggy writhes thru the crowd make it. RIP Ashtons.

  • @Nyquilcoma

    Jew A&R men?? WTF is wrong with you!

  • Geez, what sucks more, Madonna or Iggy??? They both suck!!!! Although Madonna gets the "oral" nod...

  • @nutz4all Actually, Madonna is in that catagory of "MTV Manufactured Bullshit" along with Lady Gaga, Keisha and all that other TRASH that MTV throws in front of little kids these days. Iggy, on the other hand...is a fucking God. But he shouldn't be singing that fucking Madonna song because he's way above that shit.

  • I love it, it's hilarious and awkward. the backstage stuff is a real bonus.

  • HAHA Love it when we rolls back on stage!

  • Why is Iggy limping?

  • I met Ron Asheton. He let me play his Guild. Yeah that one. He was so humble and nice. I was about 22 years old at the time. I am so happy to see this clip.

  • This is weird...but I think both Madonna as well as The Stooges fall equally into that description... I was just glad to see The Stooges get it together again after so many years

  • She looked....less than thrilled.

    Horrible fuckin' cover.

  • 2:12 Lol at Timberlake

  • It can't be rock and roll when you are wearing suit and tie sitting at a table that looks like it belongs in the restaurant in Goodfellas. It is rock and roll if you're beating the crap out of Billy Batts...

  • Hahaha.. I love them! They've both got balls made of that indestructible black box material they use for airplanes! (sorry, i don't know what it's called and i'm too lazy to look it up.. ) Anyway, respect! Cheers! ;)

  • iggy pop looks like he should be inducted into a nuthouse holyshit if this is hall of fame worthy i need ear plugs!

  • I thought it was awesome, and if he was mocking or joking, he did it with restraint as not to cause a scene, which is cool of Iggy,cuz he is true punk. oozes coolness. he can make even a weak Madonna song sound cool.

  • Wellllll, uhhhh,..... Madonna obviously loves it. Must be one of those Michigan things, like swamp gas or Vernors.

  • Ummm...So in case you all just didn't get it....This is Iggy MOCKING Madonna and the bullshit that the rock and roll hall of fame is.

    Did you know ABBA is in there too??? Umm...Ya.

  • @TheHybrid110

    as much as it should be - this is absolutely NOT Iggy mocking Madonna. You must be in denial

  • I love Iggy but this wasn't a good performance; key's too low i guess .

  • let's see here. you are asking the Stooges..the Stooges...to play a Madonna song? do i have this right?

  • I'm a huge fan of both Iggy and Madonna and think thisis great

  • I love Iggay and Madonna andt hink this is so much fun to watch

  • daddy pop has to eat you mindless bitches...

    stop talking shit about the man...

    have some fucking respect...

    OR!

    say it to his face. bitches.

  • okay, i take that back. they got it together eventually. sorry

  • i couldnt have sucked that bad if i tried. sheesh

  • 2:11 look at JT..hahaha

    even for him is a shock to witness the Stooges doing Madonna

  • The clowns are in a hall of fame?

  • he may have one leg shorter than the other...but the reason he's limping is because he was in a motorcycle accident...not because you just didn't notice it before

  • awesome.. pure awesome..

  • I don't get it, what makes this Dude so awesome? This is punk? Damn I could be a punk. All I have to do is mumble and dance round like a fool

  • @devtrash Well - Try dancing around around on broken glass while the crowd is throwing beer bottles at you ! write songs that are honest and intelligent - and never give up for 30 yrs !

  • Hey I've seen The Blues Brothers, I know how tough it can be out there. I'm no Madonna fan so don't take it as such, but the performance I saw was not really in honor of what she did or didn't do, it was it seems to me to be a big FU to the Hall.

    Which at a different time and place I'd be all for, but yeah.

  • This dude is so awesome because he is a musical pioneer. Sure this was definitely not his best performance (I blame the material he was give), but nobody else sounds/looks/acts like Iggy. He is unique.

  • Agreed - Not a good peformance - he got lost in his Frank Sinatra thing - maybe he was even a little bit starstruck - he did a lot betterr on "Burning Up".

  • no you would look completly stupid. it only makes iggy pop cool

  • Reading festival 1988. People had been throwing 2 liters bottles at all acts all day. A lot of bands even were afraid to go on stage. About 50 finnish hard core punx started bombarding Iggy as soon as he started.Iggy didn't bother at all, jumped down and stared those punx in the eye while singing "your pretty face is going to hell". They all shrunk to litle boys. Back on stage throwing mike stands,monitors. I swear - people were running for their lives. If that wasn't punk, I don't what is..

  • 3:04 that old man hahahahah iggy is the fucking man

  • It's Clive Davis, long time label head so he's probably used to the insanity by now... ;)

  • jajaja Iggy you are fuckin amazing

    IGGY THE BEST!!!! \m/

  • wtf?

  • @ 5:36: The W.A.N.D!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wonder if Madonna realized when introduced to Mike Watt that he already covered her 20 years earlier with Sonic Youth (as Ciccone Youth) on the Whitey Album.

  • I love the fact that Iggy is onstage shirtless in front of all those people in tuxes.

    That, and for me, it's a hoot seeing Steve Mackay (saxophone) playing here. He's a total experimental music hero.

    Love Mike Watt, too. Ron Asheton RIP.

  • This is Madonna's Gift for surviving,being famous over 30 years!!! not many celebrities can say dat! so stop hating,and give credit where is do, and if u don't like/hater her? i feel sorry for u!,all u need to do is not watch her videos or buy her music,there's no need of being A**Holes!!!!! freakin' haters.......MADONNA'S THE QUEEN OF POP BIATCHES!!

  • rockin granpa makes madonna look like an asshole :]

  • Love the IG

    xxxxooooo !

    But why is he walking like he has a peg leg... was he injured ?

    anyone know ?

    LOVE YOU IGGY !!!

  • Because he has one leg short than the other...I think it was a fair question...I Love Iggy, too!! Points for Madonna for giving it up for the Master!

  • cool why is he limping hats off to Madoona for realizes she doesn't belong in the Hall

  • WHAT THA FUCK IS DOING MADDONNA IN THE RR HALL OF FAME?!?!?!?!?!?! O SHIT, POP IS KILLING ROCK!! Iggy da best

  • @Noguemaligno Iggy has one leg shorter than the other. its only now he is older and he has stopped jumping everywhere that you see it

  • @Noguemaligno Madonna sucked her way into fame. What else can be said?

  • Madonna?! In the RR Hall of Fame!?

    I am deeply ashamed that this vain, talentless money-grabbing sorry excuse of a cunt manages to fool so many.

    Seriously... someone should tie her down on a public square so that passer-bys could throw buckets of horse shit at her.

  • I can't stand Madonna, Iggy is far better, he rocks!

  • Love Iggy, but it looks like it's time for a shirt.

  • oh no you didn't

  • i thought a madonna song never sounded better.

  • Lady Ciccone surely isn't a stupid girl... just pile up all the money she's got then we'll talk. And some of her songs aren't bad at all armonically and melodically. Iggy is great gentleman and will always be a great rocker, even at 90. And... did you see Mike Watts' faces playing a Madonna tune...? Huhuhu!!!!

  • she feels honored behind her botox-face. two true icons of music history.

  • Jesus loves the STOOGES

  • would love to see him crowd surf that one

  • Hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha­ahhahahahahahahahahaahha!!!!!!­!!!!hahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!­!!!hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa

  • She did this as a sort of protest because she was upset along with many others that The Stooges were never inducted. Turns out it paid off, they were inducted this year along with the likes of Jeff Beck, et al.

  • Too Funny,.....Iggy walks around like he's got a turd hung crossways....

  • god bless Ron

  • Madonna actually looks pretty good on here. I would.

  • madonna is a stuck up cunt, this is the best this song has ever sounded.....

  • Anybody got a spare T-shirt? Cos Iggy really needs one. It's one thing in the peak of your life, but now all that droopy greyish skin so long out of use, and face full of wrinkles only punctuates the fact that he can't sing melodically at all. What a waste of time on the stage.

  • ROFLMAO

    Iggy is the best, and Madonna was cool about this too. I'd like to hear him sing Like a Virgin tho.

  • well this is just.......precious:\

  • It's Madonna's sense of humor at it's best, the one thing that

    truly makes her an original, and the thing that the public is largely kept at arm's length from.... because no on knows what to do with it. She is one of the funniest people that has no direct medium of getting that across; unless you see her whole 'singer/dancer' thing in the true ironic light that she intends. This comes as close as John Lennon having Yoko stand next to him and screech while he sings.. it's about being funny.

  • wow that's weird. hope this AINT the closest the Stooges get to the R&R HOF.

  • The Stooges are above it.

  • Crazy world, isn't it?

  • It's like a really bad American Idol audition.

  • it always makes me wonder...HOW the hell did people like Madonna and Michael Jackson can be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.I mean, they dont have anything to do with rock and roll.....geez

  • Yep I was thinking a similar thing Maddona is lame and MJ was soul. No R& R in them.

  • crooning doesn't have anything to do with rock-n-roll either....kickasscrooner. Have you ever heard 'Beat It'? Michael Jackson recorded with the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Jennifer Batten, Slash and a bevy of hard rockers. Not the kind that live through others to get on the stage. Where are your rock-n-roll youtube clips? Let us determine whether you rock-n-roll or talk-n-lull LOL

    /

  • Their both from Mich,

  • Comment removed

  • This is as low as it gets ladies and gentlemen, my neighbor's dog sounds better when he barks....

  • kind of strange

  • The purpose and significance of this is to display the utter joke that is the "rock and roll hall of fame" in that Madonna, of all people(!), had been inducted before Iggy Pop himself (as well as scores of other actual ROCK AND ROLL bands and performers). It's a fucking piss stain and an embarassment, nothing more.

  • incredibly sad the state of the music industry

  • LMAO humiliating

  • Look at the look on Justin Timberlake's and Madonna's face! FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!

  • I love Iggy but why was he chosen for this tribute to Madonna? It's great and I love it, but only for it's weird, fucked up, look there's a car crash, way of loving it.

  • Wow, he has one discusting body

  • Face It Madonna couldn't pull it off without all of the backing tapes and flying vocals...I prefer Iggy anyday...

  • Madonna didn't perform because deep down she knows that she lacks musical talent. She is just a shameless self-promoter.

  • Def leppard,rush,chicago,moodyblue­s,doobiebrothers. pat benatar,kiss,genisis. NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME. In the hall madonna,rdmc, granmasterflash,and i think donna summer for gods sake. fuck the hall and all you politcally correct assholes who think any rap and pop can be compared tho real rock bands. michael jacksons a fucking nut too fucking weirdo

  • Iggy is God.

  • The confortation was a bit akward, but the song itself wasn't, other than the composition is a pile of SHIT, as shown when arranged to a rock tune.

  • Madonna was only a music bizz

    but never,

    "The Real Wild Star"!!

  • Oh, come on. First of all, they are both from Detroit burbs. Both hometown proud, a mutual respect. How could it be bad for Iggy to do this, actually better when he`s not the first punk to cover Madonna. Actually there are many. Probably the most notable which is a mockery, is The Lords Of The New Chuch doing Like A Virgin. I`m not a Madonna fan but I get this and respect her career. Some of the most outragious and best, unlikely covers were done by The Saints. Check them out!

  • HOw about Ciccone Youth which was Sonic Youth with Mike Watt (playing in the above video) covering Into the Groove and Burnin Up.

  • madogga is the antitheses of art and creativity: a grotesque, cackling, inbred, tone-deaf, buck-toothed, talent-free, artless, haggard tranny mess and a ferret faced train wreck, the biggest fraud in entertainment history. madonnA.I.D.S. makes my t-cells quiver cringe and cry why does it continue getting airplay? WHY????

  • that was beautiful man

  • The Final Straw...

    Reasons why the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame lost all credibility:

    Madonna got inducted.

    Madonna got inducted before Iggy Pop and The Stooges.

  • AND rUSH

  • What is wrong about that???

    She is a legend

  • just two kids from michigan! madonna made the best choice in ziggy. what better way to give the RRHF a big sloppy kiss and tell them to fuck off at the same time

  • I don't think it's an awkward moment, just a standard so-so performance, and a very bad performance for Iggy's standards.

  • what's so awkward about that? seems more like awesome

  • I like Iggy's version better. He's real, Madonna is talentless plastic poop.

    What balls it takes to get up in front of the bow tie crowd, shirtless and doing his thing, taking the piss out of Madonna. Good for him.

  • how gruesome!

  • MIKE WATT bitches!!!

  • Haha aye the crowd there were really rock n roll wunt they ;)

  • This is Madonna's anti-corporate advertising strategy. Iggy is too real to even make this work on her behalf. Those two worlds are separated by a gulf that's unbridgeable. Iggy's going to walk away unscathed. She's just looking really foolish.

  • Oh, god, that's so fucking awesome! Madonna is a punk at heart.

  • Madonna does not belong in the RR hall of fame. She knows it. That's why she had a rock and roll band play for her.

  • this song was originaly written by a musician from kent in the uk many moons ago i cant remember the story now as to how madonna got her claws into it. iggy and the stooges deserve a place up there no matter how long they were or werent together iggy has more talent in his big toe than that banshee could ever hope to have surgically inplanted!

  • I don't understand why there isn't Paul Revere and the Raiders in the R&R HOF, goofy uniforms aside those boys rocked out! and they had tons of hits and wrote many of the hits.

  • At this rate N'Sync will be inducted but NOT Alice in Chains or Soundgarden AND lets not forget still no Cheao Trick in BUT MAwhore is in so much for intelligence MTV is in charge of Hall of Fame Inductees

  • well she would have to actually sing w/o the special effects and dancers She prob did everyone a favor this way Too bad they do not induct real RnR women Runaways, Joan Jett Pat Benatar Heart etc No but the dancer gets in

  • I'd rather hear Iggy sing anyway! I love the looks on some of the goofballs faces that just don't get it. This was when I started to appreciate Madonna.

  • thin lizzy,alice cooper,rush, iron maiden etc these people need slap by the god of thunder.

  • I just gained a lot of respect for Madonna.

  • thats badass

  • Didn't know Mike Watt was in the new line-up. Which gets me thinking...

    "Claudius!" Anybody think Sonic Youth should be nominated SOON? Although I'd never claim they invented alternative rock, they were one of the forebears of it. They totally redefined the tonal timbres you can get out of guitars, and probably have influenced as many as VU has by now.

    RIP Ron

  • get over it.. Madonna's in, rock and roll isn't just a "genre", but i do think this should be something like the music hall of fame, since most people are too lazy to find the real meaning of rock and roll...

    theres other pop stars that were in here, too. say what you want about madonna, shes extremely smart, smarter than many of the people that were inducted in here.

  • this is extra funny....omg

  • I read that Jimi Hendrix used to open for The Monkees. That's the way I feel about The Stooges paying tribute to Madonna.

  • Stooges rule, and it was fucking awesome of Madonna to have them induct her. Look at all those suits, most of them probably don't know shit about rock n' roll.

  • wtf madonna is in hall of shame fuck that stupid I will never visit is nothing but commercialism at its worse madonna aint no rock lol bullshit .gun and roses is rock led zepplin is rock.van halen is rock pealjam is rock not madonna.she is a pop slut whore wtf I knew that the hall of fame shame bullshit!!!fuck you cleave land fuckers

  • Who nominated HER to be in the Rock Hall of Fame?........She hasn't done anything for rock'n'roll therfore she doesn't belong. Meanwhile, the Doobie Bros. are probably going 'What in the fuck????'....GET THE DOOBIE BROS. INDUCTED YOU DUMBASSES IN CLEVELAND!!

  • She is just so freaking horrible and nasty !!!!!

  • gosh wtf horrible

  • she doesn't even know who mike watt is. pathetic

  • Gold

  • thats really weird because madonna managed to get inducted first than the stooges. i mean wtf
