Destroy All Monsters - "Nov 22nd" 1983 Live at the Heildelberg - Ron Asheton RIP!

Destroy All Monsters featuring Ron Asheton of The Stooges on guitar, Niagara on vocals and well timed nap, Mike Davis of the MC5 on bass, Bill Frank of NonFiction on drums, and Charley Tysklind of the Blue Front Persuaders on Sax. As Iggy explained it Asheton's signature style of playing not only the guitar but the amp is clearly evident in this clip. Rest in Peace Ron! This clip was released on the day of the Ann Arbor tribute to Ron Asheton organized by his long time friend and fellow guitarist Scott Morgan.

Niagara is the hottest thing ever.

[WizardOLivonia]

@TurboRamone999 Certainly could be true Turbo but the hottest thing about Niagara is her mind.

@marcopivet Jackie...hold onto his brains.....

[WizardOLivonia]

These are the only two songs I transfered from this show. I'll need to dig out the VHS to see if they did "Nobody Knows".

The tape broke before I got anything converted so I had to repair it to get these and I'm hesitant to play the tape again until I'm ready to transfer it to digital media. I really enjpyed the version Kyoto Cutout played Saturday and it shouldn't be too long before that is posted. Thanks for the comment. Dan

This band doesn't get the respect they need.

@marcopivet One line she's singing is, "Jackie, Jackie! Hold on to his brains!" Of course, she's referring to Jackie Kennedy and "his" brains are those of her husband, JFK.

I think it's so cool and fun that people are dancing to this!

[supercrunch99]

@marcopivet That's because she has no talent and was among the worst singers ever given a mic. Ron wanted to screw her, otherwise she never would have been in this company. Mike left and formed THE RITE about a month after this, he could take no more! I can't blame having been in the Rite with him. Ron & Niagara never forgave me, I'm so glad.

I saw Ron Asheton play live 4 times: with Destroy All Monsters at CBGB in June 1979, (my first visit to NYC, two years before I moved here), with Dark Carnival at Maxwell's in Hoboken sometime in the early 90s, with J. Mascis and the Fog at a club in Tribeca whose name I can't recall whenever they toured, (late 90s? early 2000s?), and finally with the Stooges at Jones Beach in 2003. I feel privileged to have seen him play.

The real class here is Ron Asheton's guitar.

[imaratsfan]

@WizardOLivonia Yeh, Pull the other one.

[nameerf61]

Wasn't she a prostitute before singing in D.A.M.? I remember rumors like this in early '80's

[SlayerCrampsMisfits]
