Could not find Pumping for Jill music video, but thanks for the reminders. I always find it strange how many say Bowie ''sold out'' at that time but managed to be fun, better than most and continue to be a trendsetter of the times.
@@Man_Ray78 Some of those videos get taken down from time to time. I should have looked first before I mentioned it. If I find it I will attach a link. Regarding Bowie, if it hadn’t been for Bowie’s sponsorship Iggy would have likely not gotten to the point he has. Bowie genuinely liked Iggy Pop. And the two of them saw each other as creative partners. Bowie was inspired by Iggy’s approach to music and art. Iggy Pop lived in the streets and place Bowie knew he could never survive. David Bowie said that the original idea for Ziggy Stardust came from Iggy Pop. And it was their trip to Berlin in the seventies that turned Bowie onto krautrock. It’s an interesting relationship that they had together. Thanks for watching. Cheers
New Value was my introduction to Iggy Pop. Even before I heard the Stooges. I was probably 11-12 years old, reading Cream magazine at the time. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Kilk city is very underrated..very stonesy, the song i got nothin' especially. And it was used the Penelope Spheeris film boys next door starring a very young charlie sheen..
@@WesleyGravolet I never saw this film, will need to check it out. Kill City and some of the other tracks that came out on Bomp Records are very important to understanding the direction that the Stooges were moving in 72-73. I only wish that the version of the band that featured both James Williamson and Ron Asheton on guitar. There are live shows available that feature both of them playing together. That was the original plan. Unfortunately, Ron was relegated to bass during the Raw Power sessions. So we can only dream about this version of the band in the studio. Thanks for watching. Shawn
Really interesting Shawn. New Values is a bit underrated I think. Bored & Five Foot One are such great singles. I gotta check out Soldier again. I sort of dismissed it without putting much time in it tbh. I dip in & out with Iggy. I liken him to Lou Reed in that when they're good they're brilliant & when they're bad they're dogshit. I dig James Williamson, but Ron Asheton will always be my man on guitar. Did you like American Caesar from the early 90's? That's are pretty decent album I think. I have that Destroy All Monsters box from Ecstatic Peace from quite a few years ago now. I also have a 12" of City Slang which I think is from the late 90's. Sounds really good. I have that Looking At You 7" too. I saw the DK3 with Wayne, Dennis & Michael. Their guest guitarist was Dennis Tek. Mark Arm handled the vox on the majority of songs except Ramblin' Rose (Unfortunately Wayne didn't attempt the high voice) & Evan Dando did the Sonic songs which I thought worked really well because they both have a similar drawl to my ears. And for the encore Tex Pekins took over the vox. Great show & I think we had probably the best line up of that tour. Cool stuff. Cheers...Ben
@@benrankins4446 that DK3 shows sounds like a dream come true. You’ve seen some brilliant shows. My respect for Dennis Tek just grows and grows. I pick up the album that he did with James Williamson recently just because I wanted to add to my collection. But it’s actually really good. Killer riffs and they both still have the fire. The only thing missing is Iggy Pop’s voice over the topic. I wish they had called him to do vocals on a track or two. Skull Ring was a really cool record and I still have it on CD. I certainly like it more than those two Stooges reunion records. So disappointing. Avenue B is another little gem in his catalog. But completely different from the fire we usually associate with IP. America Caesar had its moments - Wild America was ok. Those two Stooges reunion albums are such a disappointment. I’m still not over it. Lol. But I can’t help but wondering what would have happened if James Williamson had been involved. If nothing else, we could have finally gotten a Stooges album with both Ron and James on guitar. I more or less agree with you that Iggy is either great or terrible. Lol. But I respect that he takes lots of chances and is always creative and unpredictable. As you say, much like Lou Reed. I’ll make this observation too - I’m not a fan of Robert Plants solo albums. But I do appreciate that he never settled into an easy career. He never really gave the LZ fans the album they wanted. Instead he made lots of hits and misses. Keeping everyone wondering what he would do next. That a very cool approach for someone with the kind of commercial success that he has had. In his own way, IP took a similar approach. Never really giving us the solo album we wanted. One song I love by Iggy is the Repo Man track from the film soundtrack. He wrote that with ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones. Great song on an amazing soundtrack. Thanks Ben. Appreciate your comments. Cheers! Shawn
@ That whole Repo Man soundtrack is great. I love the film too. I get exactly what you mean about Plant. Page hasn’t really done much & what little he has is some godawful Zeppelin sound alike stuff. He keeps the flame alive with all those reissues & even appearing at the London Olympics opening or closing ceremony playing ‘you guessed it’ Zeppelin tunes. As Lou came up I’ll tell you I love to annoy a friend who is a massive Lou fan by intentionally going against him with the argument that John Cale while still pushing boundaries has been consistently great (not just good) over a longer period than Lou. And when he gets annoyed at that I’ll throw in the Cale productions as well just to seal the deal. I know I’m awful but I reckon it’s probably true & I say that as a Lou fan too.
Iggy seems lost without The Stooges or Bowie which is proven time & time again throughout his solo career. Party was a putrid low point, desperate & embarrassing. Substance abuse could be the only excuse for his awful cover. Of Sea of Love.
I’m not sure I completely agree about Iggy feeling lost after the Stooges. Of course, I would have loved to see a 4th album with all those leftover tracks. That will always be one of the great, “what if’s”. But maybe Iggy had grown beyond the limitations of the Stooges. The Idiot and Lust for Life are two amazing records. And New Values is my personal favorite of his own releases. I do think he lost his way creatively in the 90s. Although he had some commercial successes. Those three Stooges albums will always be his ultimate statements. They are just brilliant. They really washed away and exposed the hippie culture at just the right time. Setting the stage for the Dolls, Ramones and eventually the Sex Pistols. Thanks for watching. Cheers. Shawn.
