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.
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..
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.
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.
what a jamming !!!! that was so honest! just having fun and playing whatever, not caring about the result or the ego or the bullshit. That what jamming really is.
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.
I would love to have been hanging out and jamming and chilling with them in Iggy's cool room even just hanging back to listen or sweetly going to make them a cuppa and roll a joint.. that jam had something!
A true ARTIST 💜 love his recent collaboration with Underworld... been into Pop for decades.. I speak fluent French and would give him lessons anytime! The jam was cool and very real
Wow, the haters dont know what they're missing. Those jams were excellent, obviously you guys are not familiar with Thurston' style of music. These two would make an amazing album together with even more instruments/musicians
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.
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???
*@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.
Have to strongly agree with brian phillip's comment❗Anyone remember Dim Stars❓Thurston and the great Richard Hell... "All my Witches come True" great collaboration.
At Fox Theatre in Detroit he played most of The Idiot and Lust for Life. Thinking about it I saw Sonic Youth open for Stooges reunion show in Detroit in 2003.
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 . You did great with les feuilles mortes, Iggy ! Thank you for liking Houellebecq ! Good tastes ! ;)
iggy's hut!he could have some lion cubs running around there...i almost here a rubber soul vibe to what thurston is playing. INterview, very laid back. Iggy, always refreshingly honest. Lookout! now, i hear a sonic youth vibe.
Jacky J Jones totally disagree.....thurston isn't a guitar player- he's a guitar alchemist. One day you will come around. I will leave a light on for you. Kiss.
This is what being vegan for many years (for the love of animals) giving up the drugs and exercising will do for you, folks! Of course Iggy had a brilliant mind to begin with....
I grew up busting my ass to play those high notes with strict technique so they wouldn't like buzz or mute, but he just rubbed those sounds against Iggy's moans and it won me over i guess
(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 ?
completely agree. Been a SY fan throughout my whole teens, but nowadays Thurstons music bores the s*** out of me. Sadly he's been stuck in the 90s. Good guy though.
I think Jim will always be relevant because he never stops being curious or hungry. He just needs more, and that fuels his brilliance.
Well put, totally agree, he's always doing or saying something interesting, insightful and worthy of attention. Long live Iggy Pop .
He's one of the only rock stars who has gotten more lucid and coherent as time goes on, lol....
if they turn it way up to 'SONIC' level for a few minutes it'd be gold! COLD METAL.
Your so right Ken !
He was almost always lucid in interviews. There was always a distinction between Iggy on stage and in interviews.
marko galetin Except in French interviews lol 😀
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.

4:46 The look on Iggy´s face says it all.
I can listen to Iggy talk for hours
I could have watched these guys hanging and jamming for hours
That Serge reggae album is killer! A must listen.
Iggy and Thurston NEED to cut an album man!
God, you are a waste of time! Give us a link of a good interview then, with a worthwhile artist - according to you.
Why are you here?
That's true - the music is a total waste of time. Liked the interview half of it.
I enjoyed Iggy's childlike approach but Thurston's pretentiousness always plants a bad seed.
one would think he gets modalities by now ... since he started it off he betta hold it down.
That jam at 10:07 I would buy if it was a record. I loved that song. I think it was fantastic.
The so called "Sacred Triangle" of Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop has had a remarkable impact on music.

The velvet underground had other members you know..

i would like to see a conversation between iggy and john cale
man I love the way Thurston plays. so unique.
absolutely stunning musicianship.
I didn't know this is what I needed in quarantine, but it so much is.
Someone stole my 1965 Fender lefty Jazzmaster and I thank them for doing so to this day.
what a jamming !!!! that was so honest! just having fun and playing whatever, not caring about the result or the ego or the bullshit. That what jamming really is.
Iggy's fckin hilarious. Love him , he's infinitely interesting, always worth listening to musically and in conversation.
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.
I like how well spoken Iggy is. He seems thoughtful in his responses. He seems to have a large vocabulary
That's what I found so interesting about him.
Iggy's iq is above 120.
Iggy is like an old lion.
A sexy lion, this pussy is purring for him now meow 😻
Don't you two know anything about Iggy!? He's not a lion.
He's a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm!
Iggy and thurston are fucking with some grave vibes for grave times man
How freakn cool is Iggy...Thurston is a great man to do the interview too.....love this !!
Great to see Jim / "Iggy" still powering on nowadays @ 72!
I would love to have been hanging out and jamming and chilling with them in Iggy's cool room even just hanging back to listen or sweetly going to make them a cuppa and roll a joint.. that jam had something!
I must listen to what this man has to say. Thanks Creator for Mr. Pop. And Mr Moore too.
A true ARTIST 💜 love his recent collaboration with Underworld... been into Pop for decades.. I speak fluent French and would give him lessons anytime! The jam was cool and very real

Eu sou Muito felice brigado Iggy Pop !!! Geniaaal !❤️
Iggy Pop could do a Sinatra Album and it would sell.
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???
He kind of did in his French songs albums. He covers a Sinatra song in one of them, called "Only the Lonely". It's amazing.
I saw him briefly sing “The Shadow of Your Smile” at the Birmingham Palladium
Tom waits by iggy
*@winstoneism* Although still a mesmerising performer , (when he's performing his pre 80's material).

In gratitude. Great session.
Two of my favorite people
Had fun with this video. 2 greatest together...total symbiosis!
The part where he mentions Neil Young and Tom Waits is so fucking funny
Have to strongly agree with brian phillip's comment❗Anyone remember Dim Stars❓Thurston and the great Richard Hell... "All my Witches come True" great collaboration.
That was a great great record.
I want to read those archives in which Iggy details how the idiot and lust for life were made so bad!
Yes!! I need to know what equipment was used on the idiot
At Fox Theatre in Detroit he played most of The Idiot and Lust for Life. Thinking about it I saw Sonic Youth open for Stooges reunion show in Detroit in 2003.
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.

BBW on the side. I dig her.
Maybe it was Gardenia
Damn, Iggy looks like a little kid next to Thurston.
Sort of Wire plus Velvet Underground plus Iggy Pop thing. Nice.
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 .
You did great with les feuilles mortes, Iggy ! Thank you for liking Houellebecq ! Good tastes ! ;)
I would buy an Iggy Pop sings Sinatra, Crosby et al, Ig has a brilliant voice
Don't worry Iggy. There is an angel for you...
Id buy an album of this stuff, dark!
Honestly thurston would have been a great stooges guitarist, that’d be interesting to see
Some of the greatest bands don't exist yet. But it is potential energy.
iggy's hut!he could have some lion cubs running around there...i almost here a rubber soul vibe to what thurston is playing. INterview, very laid back. Iggy, always refreshingly honest. Lookout! now, i hear a sonic youth vibe.
Iggy's thinking ... "what the fuck is he playing? I can't do shit with this crap ..."
That's too funny lol :P Everyone who had to improvise over some unfamiliar guitar player knows that feel.
Jacky J Jones totally disagree.....thurston isn't a guitar player- he's a guitar alchemist. One day you will come around. I will leave a light on for you. Kiss.
He has been into Sonic Youth since the 80s though, so he knows what Thurston's about.
No they dont.
The reggae Serge Gainsbourg album is probably Aux armes et cætera
The music was killer
What's the track they're playing towards the end of the video?
More jam
I don’t own a Sinatra album. If Iggy did a Sinatra album I would buy it. Twice!!!✌🏻
Iggy's new band debuted their band on the Colbert Show, that's dope
Thurstons got his skull-top in the fucking troposphere!
....Jeezuss wept!
Look at how huge Thurston looks next to Iggy. It reminded me how small in stature Iggy Pop really is.
he's only 5 foot 1.
I bet he can be great in singing Sinatra , tones are good
9:54 good riff,
Started like Gimme Danger
What about a Iggy & Thurston album?
amazing
Pop on Houellebecq. Touche
David Bowie owed so much to Iggy, you can here it in Berlin and Christ.
Iggy owe Bowie. Bowie save his life and save iggy music.
GREAT STUFF
you have Candy song.
sell the writes to me.
its almost as if the same 20 people who disliked the first episode made it there point to dislike every single one of them.
This is what being vegan for many years (for the love of animals) giving up the drugs and exercising will do for you, folks! Of course Iggy had a brilliant mind to begin with....
I grew up busting my ass to play those high notes with strict technique so they wouldn't like buzz or mute, but he just rubbed those sounds against Iggy's moans and it won me over i guess
iggys saying like something better , something better desperate
What's Iggy playing? What kind of percussion is that?
Irish
It’s a bodhrán, an Irish drum
Iggy seems like amazing guy
Iggy wow
(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 ?
Seems happy
They jam so simple. Not even the slightest try to create a chorus on another key. Thurston plays it safe^^
I'd consider that a nice record store if I had my own mural on the side of it.
fan boy
Show
Live jam was kind of awkward
Thurston is rock star and I ain't but dude change it up once in a while!
Rough trade can’t be that hip if they think those are a couple of battered old amps or that there’s any significance to jamming on a borrowed guitar
Preliminaires' was good, ..Apres'...not so much
these two are not in the same universe
that jam was horrible
god that second jam was even more cringe lmfaooooooo
Thurston moore absolutely sucks. I saw his band with Neil Young. They were horrible.
worst guitar ever. that was a waste of Iggy's time.
completely agree. Been a SY fan throughout my whole teens, but nowadays Thurstons music bores the s*** out of me. Sadly he's been stuck in the 90s. Good guy though.
Agregó desde Argentina mis respetos y admiración .Y muchas gracias Iggy pop !❤️🎵🤙👏👏
hell nah
iggy knows who thurston is, they played together in the early 80s. guitar was good and obv what ig wanted
