That's correct. The Curt Wild character is modeled after Iggy Pop with a dash of Lou Reed and Alice Cooper.
The legend about electric shock treament is a legend about Lou Reed's childhood and the molotov cocktail is from Alice's 1976 Billion Dollar Babies Tour in Toronto.
It was rumored, a animal rights activist, threw the molotov cocktail on stage as an act of protest for Alice throwing a chicken into the crowd. Although Alice wasn;t trying to hurt anything or anyone.
Fucking Phenomenal!!!! Great Song. Crazy performance. Highlight of the Movie. I'll bet the Star Wars fan boys would have a heart attack with this clip. ROCK ON
such a raw and daring performance, and shockingly funny, along with "Dick" from Rules of Attraction or some scenes from Hedwig and the Angry Itch...love crazy shit like this
Seeing this scene for the first time knocked me out; I was 14. Love the movie though, I came of age through watching it. Ewan is the coolest actor out there...watching his motorcycle travel show, Moulin Rouge and this you'd never guess it's all the same guy!
ah, I just wanted to say I agree with bxymox completely. and to add on, it's the whole idea of people thinking you're gay if you support gay rights. or even people being worried about people thinking they're gay if they support gay rights. why should it matter? being gay isn't a bad thing anyway. and BESIDES, sex is sex, no matter who it's with or for. seeing someone of the same sex doing something sexy shouldn't be taboo. just like what you like and let's be done with it.
I wish rock bands today would take notes. We need someone to inject rock with as much unbridled energy. Then I'd actually start going to concerts again.
I love it how when a "straight" person comes on here and comments about liking this clip they have to first make an opening disclaimer that says "I'm straight, but"... honestly, who gives a fuck. Why does seeing someone naked need a disclaimer, especially when you're under a user nickname on a website this huge?
dude, OMG YES, Ewan was fucking fantastic in this and trainspotting, deffinatelly his best in my opinion. and i LOVE this song(specifically this "proformance")that first scream kicks ass
i fell in love with Ewan in Star Wars, but i honestly like Hayden more because of his character (Anakin/Darth Vader) i always wished Ewan would do something crazy that "brought my attention like this. something totally unlike Obi Wan...all good and nice and boring.
and then i heard about this movie and when i saw this scene i was like...
"oh my god, this automatically makes you way hotter than Darth Vader."
i've watched this a million times & still can't get enough!! i really need to buy velvet goldmine!! who is the guy actor with red hair? he's really hot!
OH GOD!!! I love that movie!!! I love Ewan... better naked eh? Fuck me please SEXY MAN! Think in Moulin Rouge, think in Moulin Rouge!!!!! Thank you Ewee, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH

I really love Ewan, a great actor. He should have won an Oscar! I love watching his movies, how i wish i could have a collection of all the movies he made! Even his TV Appearances (drama series) LOL! Ewan Forever!
I was startled and fascinated by that scene when I first saw this movie. It was my first exposure to Iggy Pop.
Six years later, I saw Iggy and the Stooges perform at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival, which was an outdoor event held on Randall's Island in NYC. I can't begin to tell you how thrilling it was to hear the original artist sing this song.
I cant imagine him playing Obi- Wan or Christian in Moulin Rouge! shows wat a great actor he is
