the stooges documentary and interview with iggy pop

[beemerron]

When i first saw them in 1970, I did'nt grt it. I do now.

[udohood]

Raw Power the song.......there's a version of it with the band singing a chourus where they go oooohhh raw power'......it gives such a another image of the band in your head...like they're a "gang".... i think that level is missing from the record....who the fuck they are..its not established auraly (sp) .......with just that little bit of fleshing out (the chorus) you can see them besides a Drag Racing track.....love to James Williamson

[khoroshoorange]

naah i was wrong i meant another documentation... it used to be on youtube.. its maybe still there... it had 6 parts and you see iggy sometimes wearing a tanktop.

does anyone know what im talking about?

[khoroshoorange]

this documentary is not complete saw some more clips of it. cant find them now though.... does anyone know where to find the rest.

[WolfmanToldmeToBilo]

They never sold out. And will be remembered forever.

[idiosyncrazy1980]

7'32 : That was shot in 2004, that man was FIFTY-FUCKING-SEVEN years old...

[pureloveracing]

"The same naive and indefensible ambitions".... Thank you and good night...



[ellenmeilee]

The Stooges are great but you can't beat the ultimate punk originals - Kajagoogoo

[desasterz]

I'm Sick of You's my favorite song.

[Didgebaba]

Light years ahead of his time. We are still learning from him. The successor to Antonin Artaud. Iggy is a beam of light in a carnival of death.

[TheScottrocks9]

Iggy the best, No1, after all these years- a,no, the Legend.

[OtherDeadHeroes]

Brilliant! Best I've seen in a while. Iggy would be way cooler if he died young.........but that's just me. No I'm kidding, glad he's alive he's an inspiration, someone who went to the edge of the abyss and survived it. Love you Iggy!

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

that would suck if you were in the crowd and allergic to peanut butter.

[THEROGURR]

the man is ahead of his time and will always be. He is ROCK N ROLL. Pure genuis!!

[Romeo2345912]

Twitter brought me here

[logan787681]

wat song is tht at 2min in 6secs

[Zatzzo]

@logan787681

that's "fun house"

[sheena742]

Amazing guy!!!!!! NICE TEETH 2

[YouzTube99]

@sheena742: They're definitely store bought. There are a couple vids from the 80s that show his teeth and they look almost rotten. Glad he decided to start taking better care of himself -- the world needs *real* rockers!

[alpa2909]

I've seen thousands of live acts. Iggy is the best. Some artists need a canvas, others music. Iggy's canvas is the stage. He is the Picasso of live performance.

[bulaperry]

Glad Iggy has been recognised in his lifetime. Its hard to be scandalous now, there's tons of bad Stooges copyists around.

[Stackpot]

I disguised my passion for this music back in '76 out of fear.

[joeygarage77]

saw the stooges in paris in july, damn, they blew my goddamn mind

its just an experience anyone who breathes rock n roll needs to see

[rediryou]

This needs to be a full length movie. I've always liked this band but thought Iggy was a kind of show off poster boy... no, the dude is totally smart, with it and right to the point.

[critopams]

4:36 ... What's the name of this song?

[maida1982a]

@critopams At the beginning? "I Got A Right".

[Dambo96]

@critopams Shake Appeal from Raw Power

[robasci00]

100%PUNK

[damianmann]

To this day, Iggy was my favorite live performer. How often do you get to hear really loud obnoxious rock and have a laugh in there as well?

[ElBurro980]

iggy pop is a legend

[Megajosh2]

When he was younger, he was all skinny and did shitloads of drugs, and NOW HE'S RIPPED AND ALIVE IN HIS 60s? This man defies all logic.

[hornraiser]

@Megajosh2 ...he was ripped when he was ripped!

[fingersticks74]

Happy Birthday Iggy! Oh HELL YEAH, MF!

[silenceismyenemy]

this is the stooges so fuck off

[Zerrith]

What's that song in the beginning.

[MPgallegos]

@Zerrith i got a right

[sonicsteev]

wheres the full version?

[Abupit]

the name of the song min 5:21??? tanks bros...

[zosothedestroyer]

dirt

[silenceismyenemy]

@Abupit dirt off of fun house

[Eizara]

Reminds me a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts.

They were definitely ahead of their time, that's for sure, and perhaps a bit underrated.

[HashishUno]

this is a good document, but wear is all the old footage from the 60s and 70s where iggy is doing all this crazy stuff on stage, thats what i want, and i dont want it cut down, or shortened, the full length thing

[madhatte73]

How about some credit for Watt up in this piece?

[danielgirard]

Agreed... Mike Watt deserves a HUGE round of applause for his contribution. Also, what about Dave Alexander? the original Stooges Bassist. We all have heard about his getting "fired" from the band, but what about his HUGE contribution on BASS HEAVY songs like "Down on the Street" I don't think Dave ever received the credit he deserved!

[madhatte73]

Or Dirt.  SERIOUSLY.

[TheTHESTOOGE]

your right dave needs more credit, to there defense though he was a burn out. kinda a sad guy you know. he didnt really wanna play rock that much he just wanted to stay home watch tv and do drugs. i felt really bad when i found out he died in 1975

[HereticWarfare]

bass players are so under appreciated. There have been alot of them that make such great music, Paul McCartney, Steve Harris, Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton, the list can go on and on. I agree. RIP Dave Alexander, and cheers to Mike Watt, a cool cat.

[photojerk69]

long live iggy pop.

the stooges fuckin rule!!!

[posthumanhero]

i like the way mike watt is treated like invisible man........not even given credit on the cd for playing bass.....the original band -- "with mike watt'......c'mon give the man credit.

[jthomas666]

say what ya want, but he didn't sell out to the industry, like most of these melancholy assholes making music now

[desasterz]

whats the first song called??

[LustForHate]

"I got a right" by the Stooges (Obviously), and it's from 1972!

[jimbophil]

Most Punk, Metal, Grunge and Indie bands can trace the roots of their music back to the Stooges, which makes them legends in my book. No other guitar band can lay claim to an influence as large as theirs.

Not hugely appreciated by the record buying public in the early years, it has taken the emergence of the genres they virtually created, and hence the praise of the bands they influenced, for Iggy and The Stooges to get the credit they deserve.

[goldenoriol]

The best 8:48 Stooges footage. There´ s ALL you need. I think if you send that to Mars...and far away, even the aliens understand the power of the Stooges....

[a3m6l]

i love the end of this video! theyre finally going to the RnR hall of fame, even though its about 20 years late. RIP Ron.

[cojicabuto77]

does someone know what's the name of the first song on the video??

[abrrrrrm]

it's "i got a right"

[grainofsandfan]

Iggy. Mick looks tame comparied to Iggy.

But Mick's rich.

[desasterz]

Under Rated...

[WhiteBoy41]

drugs . attitude . youth and a rec. collection,,,,,,,> I can dig that.

[Choobster68]

Jim became Iggy and Iggy entertained and pushed boundries. Loved it, but don't put too much thought into it. Let him be him.

[inked78]

really? an old iggy joke? can i subscribe to yr school of jokery?

[bastardrob]

peanut butter

[MattDylan420]

IM FUCKING IGGY FUCKING POP

[underdogbitesyou]

you forgot idiot >:D

[offthetop0]

this is the stooges. so fuck off. GOLD!

[philipinoidiot]

a jar of peanut butter

[JayRocFly]

whats the name of the first song??

[funben123]

It's called "I Got a Right"

I don't think it was on the Self Titled, Fun House, or Raw Power albums. But it was part of their set for a while back in the day.

[SydLennox]

My goodness, I swear, every time I listen to the Stooges I feel as if I were being born again.

[TRESBELA]

of all the music in my ipod all i ever play is every fuckin stooges/iggy pop album and a little of velvet underground every now and then. i can't explain it, man. iggy is a fuckin god..this guy makes me wet everytime i hear his his voice

[psychkoala]

Fascinating video.

... stoogeology revealed ...

[jacobladders]

now that ron ashton passed away god rest his wonderful soul

i doubt the stooges will go on, but they created the music and thats all that matters.

[fosterch]

I don't think Iggy gives his band enough credit.

[criminyjimjims]

I don't think it's possible to give the Stooges enough credit, they've just done so much.

[fosterch]

They weren't just out of their time, they created the next era.

[danrock1982]

THE BEST!

[Gabriopunk77]

"These are the Stooges, so fuck off!"

[marconiiii]

thanks (:

[marconiiii]

how is called the first song ?

[stedmondmike]

it's called "I got a Right"

[footscraysteve]

WOW,, thats just brilliant ,Ron staked out his territory and mined it for all it was worth ,you only get one stooges in your lifetime ,where are the geniuses that could ever replace Ron, i cant see em on the horizon.

[60spastlife]

I completely agree, Im a guitar player and Asheton was immediately added to my top 10 favorite guitarists upon my first audio introductions to the Stooges. It was Funhouse. I know some say he really couldnt play wel in the begining, but hell, it was different and passionate. I was very saddened to learn of his death.

[MattDylan420]

I completely agree with both of you, but at the same time we have to bring back real rock and roll. This is real rock. Ill bring it back, we need a musical revolution, music sucks now. Lets go back in time.

[bouefmountain]

Ron and Scott are Soupy Sales kids

Detroit Rock City

[WhiteBoy41]

Ron and Scott Ashton

Soupy sons were in Tin Machine with bowie.

plus more.

[jdukulele]

You forgot about Hunt Sales the drummer. He's one of Soupys son's as well. He was in Tin Machine and they also played on lust for life.

[greentony45]

GREAT BAND!

[pablocesarcalderon]

One of the most influential bands to punk, alternative, and metal music.

RIP

Dave Alexander (Bass) - 1975

Ron Ashton (Lead Guitar) - 2009

My heart goes out to his brother

Scott "Rock Action" Ashton (Drums)

and his blood brother

James "Iggy" Osterberg Jr (Vocals)

The Stooges est.1969

[AmazingTemple]

This is a great piece of work. Great use of footage, great insight into the stooges. Thanks.

[JayRocFly]

Jesus walked on water, Armstrong walked on the moon, and Iggy walked on a stadium of people, fuckin awesome

[chizmuzz]

RIP RON.

Anyone know the version of 'Shake Appeal' that's played in this rather cool doco? It sounds live, and an earlier version with different lyrics!?

[manelsegura]

Yes, it is called "Tight pants" and it comes from the rehearsals of Raw Power in 1972.

[stedmondmike]

Ron asheton, a true original,

he will B missed !

i seen them play in toronto in the summer,

& they still fuckin rocked.

r.i.p Ron asheton.

[teniootti]

Rest in peace, Ron.

[Nevets442]

Wonder why no mention of James Williamson and Raw Power?

[bkk666]

Iggy Pop is now a spokesperson for Miami city. That's good for Miami He will sure make the 'senior citizens' in Florida feel younger - maybe lose weight.

And did you ever think HOW good a name IGGY POP is. And he is not a pop singer! Punk. Is the the American punk, par excellence?

I wanna look like Iggy Pop. What is his fitness program like? Does he do weigths and cardio. And how about his diet? I think IP is vegetarian.

Ciao - S'wadee Kap

BKK Reporter

[hendrixonlsd]

Coke, Speed and Heroin will get you looking like Iggy Pop in NOOOOO TIME. and thats the inconvient truth.

[DARKnDODGY]

[hendrixonlsd]

What are you babbling about?

[DARKnDODGY]

[Chopstixz5]

[Xomeclas]

[mightyhighrocks]

Stooges baby!!

Check out Mighty High...In Drug City.

[senilechild]

they do still have it !

it was an excellent show .

[garagebandsrule]

Just saw them this evening in Toronto at Massey Hall. 10++++ Iggy and the Stooges still have it going on!!!!!!!!

[XhollywoodXrose90]

The Stooges are portrayed awesomely here! :-)

[charleybarley111]

That fancy gold chair that present day Iggy sits in isn't very subversive, now is it?

;-)

[Franticproductions]

you missed the point Dickwad

[geoffhutch]

you are subversive, and I love your contribution to my life.

[punkrockxzz]

What's the first song that they start playing in the beginning? ive never heard that one.

[ronkainen205]

it´s called I Got a Right.

check out the Hellacopters-cover of that one as well.

[XhollywoodXrose90]

"I Got A Right" ...its excellent!

[TRESBELA]

its part of a bunch of unreleased tracks..there's like 15 takes of I got a right. each one more raw

[PennyTraition]

Song 4.35 is 'Tight Pants' a vsn of 'Shake Appeal',b/w 'Sick Of..' BOMP 1977.See website for loads!

[crazedrunkrd666]

long live the stooges, long live iggy. and Fuck the World

[Osscariin]

Iggy The Godfather Of Punk Rock.

;)

[FederalHero]

Whats the song called that is 4:35 into the clip?

[iggy6star]

''tight pants'',it's a demo song at the penetration and kill city albums/but it's original title is shake appeal and you can find it in ''Raw Power''

[reknawfiend]

thats not quite right, but i'm too tired to be pedantic.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

god damn, iggy's the greatest frontman of all time. i mean, really? he's just the best. nothing but passion and energy. he's like the big bang, on a stage. he's unnatural, he's IGGY POP!!!

[themightycelestial]

Dat wuz kinda cool.

[tsartodd]

"that's ... PEANUT butter!"

classic.

[GraffeTheGreat]

you gotta love iggys moves

[hyperpoesia]

i cd listen to him sing or talk forever. so articulate.

[Stanczyk44]

i mean about the "demons" - we want to all believe the stooges are out there "doing drugs" but they aren't, they're out there being in their 50s

[Stanczyk44]

yeah yeah, iggy knows how to deal a line of bullshit... i'd still see them

[PS3Fan14]

i wanna be your cat

[MightyAlz]

I Wanna Be Your Hog -

Screaming Lord Sutch!

[tagomago91]

douche

[lordsod69]

nice to see lord Iggy settled into his royal seat, i wonder if he has a butler too? well the 'ol fellah deserves it after the long road he's been on and still is on! i say the lads are out workin' hard for their nest egg/pension and makin hay while the sun, fortunately still, shines upon them.

Great legends with a great legacy! shall i bring your slippers Sir Pop?

[saperlipope]

iurk ! iurk ! eséma na tchéchté iurk

[enfield668]

thats a real nice white smile that ig is rocking. am i wrong to smell just a wee bit of bullshit? before i get hated on...allow that i am from metro detroit and have spent much time in ann arbor. ig is just another sold out jerk wanting to make some money off of his youth. he doesnt give a crap about the stooges. wake up folks. now demonize me for saying what is....he is just another washed up never was just like joe strummer

[drewlsy]

what's wrong with that? It's called capitalism you socialist prick! Wahh, wahh, go whine in your pissed stained ghetto of a dwelling and continue to have the "integrity" which you claim the real rockers have - BS! Leaving a LEGACy behind is what life is all about, loser! Joe Strummer is one of the most important icons of music history. Go Ig, cash in (he's even lucky to be able to).

[Stanczyk44]

it's not about income distribution, it's about honesty, ig seems like he's bullshitting, when those of us who dig the old stooges are keen on not being bullshitted.

[drewlsy]

honestly, who isn't full of shit at this age?? Y'know, The stooges, the MC5 w/ Wayne Kramer and Sinclair back in the late 60's were Detroit's punk-pioneers, but also they were financial failures. Record companies invested in both bands hugely, but they failed due to plitics and personal problems. What's great about Ig is that his image has stayed the same, his hair, his stage act, his dancing, etc. He still rocks-out today. Recommended reading, "please kill me".

[scitsoman]

"Please Kill Me" is a wonderful book. (The MC5 are still one of my top bands, though)

[goldenoriol]

I agree with you. Of course the reunion and the record "The Weakness" was only money affair, apart from that Iggy always let the Asheton bros.  as some ridiculous and stupid musicians....There´were no "brotherhood feeling" there...

[posthumanhero]

the new cd would've been good if the drums were mixed lower, had reverb taken off them and someone decided to mix mike watts bass up and bother eq'ing it......and maybe iggy needed to scream a bit more, get less intellectual .....otherwise it's fine.

[archtop57]

Iggy made it in England.

[jun7per]

Iggy is a product of the USA.

Hes the alter ego of rockin roll.

Punk began in 1970 way before it began in England

and it was Iggy

[theloveterrorist]

@jun7per erm... im just an ignorant english guy but wasn't the mid-sixties the beginning of punk? All those groovy mid-sixties trashy bands inspired by the beatles /stones n god knows what else? Like the 13th floor elevators, the Seeds and so many more that I used to listen to in the late 70's on 'Nuggets' compilations? Check it out, that's what we all thought of as the first punk wave... 60's american trash guitar bands coming out of nowhere.. loved it all!

[SavageInsight]

The one thing making Iggy amazing is that he is genuinely humble without remorse for humility. Iggy talks for real and we're in a world where that's just not happening. Iggy talks BS he talks with real personal sh*t. And he's been doing it for almost 50 years. America talks BS, and it's all about avoiding reality.

[SavageInsight]

He might awe us because of how insane he is when he plays, but anyone who's ever done a gig knows that it's the one time and place where you rip off self-control and go streaking with nothing but your heart, dreams, ideas and instincts on -regardless of your uniform. Keep it going, I hope to shake your hand someday.

[countingdown27]

"there are certain bridges made between the sound of the group and the commonality of current consciousness" fuck u iggy i'll fuck u dead hahahaha. another year wit nuthin ta do

[neorunt]

No mercy for you, happy trails...

[PennyTraition]

The 'beginning' song is 'I Got A Right 'and I expect you know the others.I'd give you more info,but I have to say (again)Jesus Loves The Stooges,But GOD worships them.

[Zatzzo]

fuck iggy to me the stooges are all about ron ashetons riffs. woooooohoooooooeeee!!

[MightyAlz]

Although that's a bit OTT, I do think Iggy gets too much of the spotlight - Asheton was a master.

[123THETHING456]

whats the beginning song again? i knew it before

[darwinator12932112]

where and how can you tell the difference?

[iggypopshot]

What a fucking man, no compramise....says it all.

[luciferoso]

is god on earth

[luciferoso]

is god on earth

[yamirubiel]

Iggy is Godfather or Rock!!! **

I love you Iggy!!!!

[celfa90]
