      He was almost always lucid in interviews. There was always a distinction between Iggy on stage and in interviews.

      He gave up the drugs then he quit eating animal corpses & became vegan because of his love for animals. Lots of exercising and brilliant mind to begin with, of course.

    I think Jim will always be relevant because he never stops being curious or hungry. He just needs more, and that fuels his brilliance.

    The so called "Sacred Triangle" of Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop has had a remarkable impact on music. The Velvet Underground inspired both Bowie and Pop and Bowie repaid his debt to both Reed and Pop through producing albums for them and raising their profile. Lou Reed however tended to come across in interviews as just plane difficult. Bowie relaxed post drug issues and become very funny and entertaining. But Iggy? I have to say, he would be the one I would most like to sit down and chat with over a drink. He seems so humble, intelligent and plain genuine. He is the one everybody thought would die the first yet he outlived both of them and is still producing great music. I hope he keeps going and reaches a century!

      Met Iggy in 1978 in Detroit when he played 7 nights. It's funny cuz when Bowie was in town they pulled up in front of the bar & sat there, never to enter. 2 months later Iggster played 7 nights at our punk bar, Bookies Club 870.

    Two of my favourite dudes..I literally ran into Thurston Moore at the now legendary ATP Festival in 2006.He was coming out of the sports bar as I went in.He bumped into me and I said "sorry dude"he looked at me and said"no worries"and that was my moment with him.Iggy And The Stooges played that night and they were off the chain.As I believe it was the first time they played together for years.Plus Sonic Youth played as well.That was a great weekend of music..

    • @EMVelez
      @EMVelez ปีที่แล้ว

      Too bad Thurston is a known perv who dated teenage girls as an adult and while married with kids. Used to love him but later met someone in LA who knew way too much about the “other” Thurston and his creepy proclivities. I’ve never been able to look at him the same way again. Sonic Youth was my favorite band growing up. Really ruined it for me.

    i reckon the people with negative comments should go and do something else with their lives. If you don't like it, stop watching! It's not like TV in the 80s in Melbourne, Australia where there were only 5 stations and no internet. Iggy Stooge changed my life for the better in the mid 80s as a discontented 13 year old. Showed me there was something other than the top 40.

    Iggy Pop could do a Sinatra Album and it would sell.

    • @martinbramah2224
      @martinbramah2224 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'd rather see him do something stranger. I'm sure he could do a good job on some Sinatra tunes, but that'd feel too pedestrian - like something Rod Stewart would do (but Rod would probably make a shit-ton of $$$ from it!).
      Maybe an album working w/ Bill Callahan, doing Nat King Cole or something???

    • @CarlosMurgueitio

      @PAULLONDEN 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      *@winstoneism* Although still a mesmerising performer , (when he's performing his pre 80's material).
      his "record sales" reflect his questionable post 80's output.... He could do a Sinatra , ( if he keeps his shirt on) , it would hardly sell. Iggy's main earnings come from his steady selling early catalogue (yet another Raw Power remix ?) live performances and merchandising.

  • @FromTheRoomOfLittleEase
    @FromTheRoomOfLittleEase 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I knew there would be comments about the jam. Guys, they were talking about more avant garde and noisy stuff throughout the interview with a focus on mesmerizing chanting and very un- rock type material, is it any wonder they played something like that? I've seen both men rock, this was a rare opportunity to see these guys go into a cosmic trance, which was exactly the right choice for this intimate setting. All the many times I've done the same with guests in my own living room I was thinking of mainly these two artists (among others) and to see it happen, with these guys, was one of those things I needed to see happen before I die. It felt like a punk rock visit to Timothy Leary or Ken Keseys house. Or an average Sunday afternoon smoking pot at my house for that matter, but we just THINK we've turned into Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore. This was my average everyday spirit quest come to life. Very cool, and what these guys share the most in their common vision, despite the fact most people would think of the rocking aspects. This and the noise like L.A. Blues which was mentioned. Besides, it would have been foolish to try to do allot of changes in a jam like this, or JUST covering songs or playing the blues or something would be a severely missed opportunity to get at the goods. ..and for these guys, and for myself THAT is the goods...whether its quiet and gentle like this or loud and repetitive like the end of "Ann" ("the dance of romance") if you've never done this, played music and gone into kind of a daydream/trance then you can't really understand, I think that's as much the heart of rock music as the Pete Townsend thing, playing your guitar in your room like you're on a stage and you're performing some kind of Symphony of feedback to some invisible audience. Everybody who truly loves rock and roll starts this way, and it never leaves them. That's the true rock and roll, everything else is great, but it's just window dressing for that wild noise.

    • @baronoflivonia.3512
      @baronoflivonia.3512 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Because Homme liked those and they were most greatest and 1st Post-Stooges works. He stated in Interview that Homme did not want to play any of Ron's work. This "Post Pop Depression is closer to Berlin Albums that say Zombie Birdhouse or Skull Ring, which are great underrated works themselves. But hey, is is all in Interview and Depression Tour was great at Fox Theatre, which is close to old Grande Ballroom. He still calls Detroit his "Hometown and only Live works were recorded in Detroit Area. The first Stooges Album cover is why I have a Brown Reed Leather Jacket. Made in Detroit.

    my way sung by Sinatra is also a copy of the French original "Comme d'habitude" which could have been added, but probably not for cheap...Claude François was fierce in the business, and now his descendants .

    (IF YOU READ THIS) . . .Mr Pop your 1977 album "the idiot" marked the break from the Ashton's (I think) A different sound and production, Bowie influenced that album you've said, but who inspired that album, what events made you pen the lyrics, I've heard you say you only have your memories, not many stooges fans had 16mm cine-cameras or reliable sound equipment so the early years are not very well documented (more the shame), if they can plug a micro-chip in to your brain and down-load the memories, sound and imagery, would you be up for that, even the stuff you have forgotten can be retrieved, Them nights passing out and waking up in places you have no idea of how you got there or what went down, all of it, warts and snots, be kind of interesting wouldn't it ?
