For those interested, “Open Up and Bleed” is an excellent bio. He was “saved” by Bowie…but also by his father’s Michigan teacher’s union health insurance which enabled him to get high quality in-patient rehab with a very helpful psychiatrist. Interestingly, for all of their wild debauchery the Stooges all had supportive parents who backstopped them in one way or another at various times.
entertain7us14 He IS the sweetest man alive!! Once I stopped him in his hotel. I asked for a photo. He said he didn't have time. I said, "OK, I'm sorry. Maybe next time." Then he turned around, walked all the way back over to me and posed for several pictures. Who DOES that?! :)
One of the things I always liked about Iggy is he would go on a show and give 100%, an intense, physical performance, then he would sit down and just talk regular. He wasn't one of these a-holes that had to stay in some dumb character and make for an impossible interview. He would sit down and talk like a friend or brother and just discuss his music and his life--whether he was on Tom Snyder, or for goodness sakes, Dinah Shore, or wherever. Just a regular guy that would talk normal and not BS. I appreciated that.
Nihilism is satanism. Satanists are paedos. We actually KNOW this about these guys. They were rapey pervs. Iggy went to lawless haiti to perform voodoo. Doesn't anyone have any brains on here...?
@@UnderBridge no. Satanism is the absence of God. Satanism is materialism. That is why most people today are satanists - the devil's playthings, on the road to hell - n they don't even know it. God tries to save. Satan don't give a shit u don't know u r doomed.
I've been a die hard Bowie fan for about four years now and just right now am I getting into Iggy and his work, and I love it, it's a bright new beautiful thing on its own but seeing all the connections he had to Bowie feels like getting to discover a lot of easter eggs about one of my favorite things in the world!!
I have the feeling that David Bowie and Iggy Pop inspired each other a lot, when they became friends. Iggy Pop´s two first solo albums ("Lust for Life" and "The Idiot") were the best albums that Iggy Pop released in my opinion and David Bowies Berlin Trilogy ("Low", "Heroes" and "Lodger") were also David Bowies most experimental albums that he released during his lifetime. Iggy Pop and David Bowie had a lot in common and both Iggy Pop and David Bowie felt like outsiders from the society that they lived in.
I still can't listen to David Bowie songs without crying, especially Rebel Rebel. He will always be missed, the world without Bowie, Iggy, and Ozzy is so much better off thanks to these beautiful misfits.
@@subzero308 Why? Have you listened to the Black star album? He's not the greatest British songwriter to you but why TF are so passionately disagreeing? Does it physically fucking hurt you that someone has a different opinion. Your comment doesn't change anyone's mind cuz you don't give any reason as to why he's not. The internet gives dumbasses like you way too much confidence it's annoying to read stupid comments like this.
Met and briefly chatted alone w Iggy after seeing him perform at Hollywood, CA Stardust Ballroom 1979. Afterward small group went to The Troubadour niteclub, where we both smoked cigarettes outside. I, 17, braved to ask, "How's David?" Iggy threw his cig butt on ground, saying in a quietly gruff way, "He's fine...". Knowing they'd escaped to Berlin the last cpl years, I just wanted to acknowledge their closest friendship.
wow.. Iggy is Ziggy from the future. incredible channeler. opened himself like a doorway for us to peer into the void. seems like a very big hearted fella too. incredible testament to humanity.
I bought the Idiot when it came out and saw Iggy live in Manchester at that time, think it was the Apollo. Love the album and the concert. So glad I saw it. Still have the album. Passenger is fab track
Jim ND David ,two of the finest creators of all time ,oh how they've weaved ND worked their melodic magic into my brain ND body ! Thank you boys ,I'm forever indebted ...🎸🎼
On the subject of Bowie’s need for “other outlets” : Iggy worded that very politely and cautiously! It is ABSOLUTELY true that Bowie went to other places that he didn’t (and probably couldn’t) have done with his own albums. I suspect Bowie’s elaborate artistry in his own albums was born partly out of the fact that he wasn’t really a natural extrovert like Iggy or Mick Jagger. Furthermore as a fan of rock n roll he would’ve probably enjoyed the fact that Iggy was ‘real’ American crazy rocker. Bowie did state once, quite rightly, that “rock n roll wasn’t English” and was something English people were dabbling in in an arty sense which he intended to take to the next level. On other occasions Bowie talked about hating his own voice (as if anyone else does). And you can sometimes actually see a self-loathing process written on his face in certain live performances. So I bet working with Iggy had a great energy for him without having to deal with the heavy process of his own songs. And and and, there’s also a cool interview with Bowie and Trent Reznor (NIN) where he describes Trent as more of a ‘minimalist’ which again I think is because he can see someone like Trent able to be raw and basic with personal music and lyrics, while Bowie is more like a high brow artistic collage of all sorts lyrically and musically. No doubt Bowie made lots of personal stuff but I mean with an entirely different approach. All hail Bowie.
Bowie was an artist before he was a musician. He started as a painter who decided performing was a more effective outlet for his creative vision than visual art (although he continued to paint all his life). He basically used himself as the canvas in his performances, and his voice as the paint. All that means he wasn't exactly the bona fide, classic rock star whose costume and medium he donned.
Mr. Passenger and Mr. Starman: two very different Entities, but both of great sympathy, brilliant, musically "incorrect" (in the sense of innovation), for a certain time complementary. Bowie then took his high flight, and no one (for me) could have ever reach his completeness art... he is a too original Genius, formidably unique, even because for his Mind... Thanks Marianna: another pearl from your magic golden casket !
Bowie & Iggy on the Dinah Shore show, Bowie singing “Little Drummer Boy” with Bing Crosby......I always took it as part straight/part subversion. Gotta love it.
Some people are just biological super specimen. Like Ozzy... They did tests and discovered that his liver can break down alcohol and drugs reeeeeeeeeeally well (I can't remember exactly, but that's basically what I remember they said). I'm sure Iggy's organs are nothing to scoff at as well.
I remember watching Snow Day when I was little and my mom freaked out when Iggy made a cameo lol thats when I found out who he was and started listing to this music
A childhood friend of mine told me that he was staying at his sisters house in LA . Who was married to a record executive and that he was invited to several corporate functions and met several rock stars. One night he came home after a night of partying on the sunset strip and checking out all the new bands ( Dokken, Ratt. Great White, Wasp, ) he went back to his sisters house and went to climb in his sleeping bag and there he was borrowing his bag IGGY POP. he woke up and fired a joint and told it like it was. And I saw many photos true story.
Peter Murphy 's cover of funtime is fantastic...another partnership...bowie and bauhaus...ziggy's version of bauhaus is quiet something...for the movie the hunger...
re the pressure to make his work more commercial..."there would have been if I wasn't working with David Bowie"....Bowie encouraged everything about Iggy - he suppressed nothing.
Iggy was a drugged up piece of shit, an inch away from an overdose at the time. I have zero respect for that, in fact I hold that kind of culture in contempt. Iggy was just another addict with enough money to fuel it. The fact that Iggy cleaned himself up is excellent. The fact that he cleaned himself up, that I respect.
I think people don't really understand the physicality and athleticism that Iggy has. He is known for being very physical but he lean, flexible, strong. Iggy Pop is savage and graceful like jaguar and snake and ballerina.
Los Saicos (from Peru) did in 1964 and then Love followed (only one of their songs "Seven and Seven is") in about 1966. The Bealtes (and Paul of all people) came out with "Helter Skelter" in 1968 as well. I'd still say that the Detroit scene were main pioneers of "Punk" though. They have two of my favourite "Punk" bands with the Stooges and MC5.
"Shock rocker Iggy Pop and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, last week dramatically announced a collaborative record, Post Pop Depression, with an interview and performance of their first single "Gardenia" on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert." Buzz - Jan 25, 2016.
"Nihilistic rock". Wow... To me Bowie was one of the few Rock intellectuals of his generation. When most of the greatest rock artists were just delivering their music not thinking too much about it, Bowie was vastly cultured and educated and very self aware of his work and the rock environment. He understood about styles and concepts in a way very few did. I'm pretty sure he would have get pretty high in an IQ test.
Kevin Vuile Rotte Lafaard I don't agree with guitar lovers comment but Carlos hit the nail on the head. Iggy was immensely influential but he lacked the craft and vision that Bowie had. Where would Iggy be now without Bowie. With his help Iggy wrote the post punk album 'the idiot' when people were only just recognising punk, but he couldn't have done that without Bowie an isolated individual who was praising the music of Kraftwerk.
Look it's all subjective...they're all good and belong in the pantheon in cosmos.....people who hold real artists up like trump cards are fools and don't get it. The doors in the sixties were before their time 99% of bands were all hippy and free love as opposed to no one here gets out alive......the doors was one of the starting points of metal music that would come..... DMT and listen to American prayer.....wow he knew
Omg. Iggy has the BEST SMILE EVER!!
I love that line about Bowie " I found my boy" 🖤🖤🖤
Love this. Both Iggy and Bowie are rock icons, period.
+longfellowrocked the greatest of the great
Indeed
iggy really?
Yes. Really.
Couldnt agree with you more
Two massive talents for two dudes both born in 1947. One can easily see why they became friends.
Iggy & Bowie is the greatest bromance of Rock & Roll history
Another one of David Bowie's great contributions. Love how he refers to him as "Jimmy"....

Probably not. But I have seen many. And I enjoy someone just sitting and talking regular, rather than just BS.
Yep. His radio show on BBC6 is amazing. The guy is incredibly intelligent and erudite - A pleasure to listen to.
not the ones that ive seen
David Bowie doesn't belong on that a-hole category though
I love listening to Bowie refer to him as Jimmy. Something about that is touching.
1969. Truly The Godfather of Punk.
"It sounded like nihilistic rock. Which fascinates me! I LOVE nihilism!"
With that childlike fun.
Lust for life.

Love Iggys smile!
This is what I love about TH-cam. I had no idea Bowie and Iggy Pop collaborated.
Miss David Bowie so much. Original genius, innovator, and man, who lives amazing life in arts.
Bowie it's all.
I like that last line
The Stooges debut album was years ahead of its time.

Religiously Unkind oh yeah baby !!!! Sexy bitch
We love you to
Genius. Both of them.
Real people call Iggy Pop 'Jim' or 'Jimmy'. Fans and Media call him 'Iggy'. He is a genuine human being and, indeed, an extremely sweet person.
Tom Waits approves
Until he spits on you. ;)
@@scottlebrun6782 "Spit your love on me", the Maneskin say in their "Mammamia" song.
The way David pronounces "Jimmy" gives me life
His name is James Osterburg..

You have a feeling... about common knowledge??
I like Iggy's China girl.
Low is Bowie's greatest album
They both liked 13 year olds
I still can't listen to David Bowie songs without crying, especially Rebel Rebel. He will always be missed, the world without Bowie, Iggy, and Ozzy is so much better off thanks to these beautiful misfits.
And Jimbo
We got the music. That's what they would say. Pass it down.
You worship child molesters. No wonder our society is so messed up.
Everytime i listen or see Bowies face it brings me joy
I discovered Iggy watching Coffee and Cigarettes skit. Best skit ever! Love this guy!
Me, too, I'm a Tom Waits fan.
David and Iggy,the perfect marriage of musical expansion
Both artists demonstrate a deep knowledge & huge intellect. Bowie pushed the envelope until the end & Iggy is still going strong......rock on!
Iggy is such a MASSIVE legend. My god. What an AMAZING talent!
TheTwitchybird I agree!!
Bowie greatest British songwriter ever
Now now.......He would point something out to you.
Someone who helped free his mind and his manager from his job ....lol

I love this video, I watch regularly, they were great both together
Bowie sounds a bit different when talking with Iggy, a little more himself I think
so it must be good company for him..... so good as we heard
They were really close :'( poor Iggy, he must be missing his friend
I've noticed that too, he's more his natural self and seems comfortable here... maybe it's just me idk.

Iggy and Bowie on the Dinah Shore show. Later the gang all took acid got naked and watched Triumph of the Will at Dinah's joint.
Always heard the rumor Iggy and Dinah hooked up for a bit after the interview.
The stooges.raw power.fun house.3 of the best rock records ever
Bowie came in and suppressed Iggy's punk edge. He even said there was pressure to may viable commercial pop.

Jim Morrison was much smarter than both
No, btw both your comments are dumb
