Back in 2019, he was just in line behind me at an L7 show in Tucson. He was friends the opening act, Le Butcherettes. He waited in line like everyone else and paid for his admission.
If his audiences were offended by his actions, they wouldn't be attending his shows, now would they? I'd argue precisely the opposite - many, perhaps most of them attended his shows because they wanted to see just what extreme lengths he might go to that night. Precisely the same thing as many folks who go to automobile races hoping to see massive pileups.
Well, The Stooges weren't quite as known as you might think back then and it was a short lived band. People found themselves at their shows without even knowing who they were going to see. It's not that they could go online and check what the band was all about before the show... Think about it.
I saw The Stooges at the Vienna (VA) High School Gym in 1970. When the FUN HOUSE album came out. I mean FIRST WEEK. I know this to be true because I bought it the next week or two, and after I listened the first time, I realized they played THE ENTIRE ALBUM, IN ORDER!!! Only this time, he was out in the audience during LA BLUES, having peanut butter smeared all over his body. And then... somebody turned off the power. Probably staged!!!
@Tenskwatawa4U It's cool seeing a band in such a small venue. The band Cold Cock warmed up for Iggy at the Rink. I thought they sucked, but a friend that I work with now was there and said he thought they were good, so...The lead guitarist got hit by an egg directly on his strings. He yelled that they would walk off if it happened again. Then he got hit by every egg in the house. After that there was plenty of dog food flying around. This concert was all about the Lust for Life album. Good times
@cathy9224 I saw Johhny Winter there in addition to Iggy. My friends at the time were like classic rock only. I remember Blondie and the Clash were there, but nobody wanted to go. We're the Ramones and Sex Pistols there? Do you recall?
Yes, the video title is totally absurd. But the point is Iggy was the first to be this wild and outrageous on-stage, taking his cues from a memorable drunken Jim Morrison performance he attended in 1967 that changed him forever. GG Allen was of course 100 times wilder, but he was still in diapers when Iggy was doing all this. The point is he was a pioneer in outrageous rock n roll and one of several late 60s punk godfathers. A true legend.
No one quite like Iggy & he does what he wants as he's always done, give him a good audience he will blow the roof off, give a bad one they will pay!!!! Seen him with the original Stooges minus Dave Alexander as he didn't last long but we still miss him. Seen Iggy many times over the years mostly through the 70s & he never disappoints his audience unless he's provoked to do so. It is amazing all the crap he put himself & the bands through but he's a survivor & not a stupid man when it comes to what he knows knowledge wise.
My friend got two tickets so he asked me to go to an iggy pop gig in London. I was a skinhead girl at the time and didn't even like iggy pop but I went anyway during the gig iggy made eye contact with me which felt like 10 minutes to me !. I was 17 at the time and felt very awkward lol. Was a good gig though BTW this was early 80s.
I saw Iggy perform in the late 90s in LA, and he was spinning around with a heavy Shure microphone stand and lost hold of it and it flew into the front row spectators. It looked like it hit a young woman. He suddenly looked very scared and went to see if she was OK. It appeared she was and the concert went on, but I suspected she had really been hurt, maybe just not seriously.
Yea, GG was over the top offensive, but his lyrics were from the heart, he wasn't stupid, he warned His OWN fans, & never was a put on or a liar. I love the jerry springer episode he was on where only one, maybe 2 folks stuck up for the fact that ( aside from J.S. trying to make the whole show about GG's claim he'd sxly assault a female at a show, as far as i know there were never charges-dunno, maybe should have been, but i only know this: )those who stuck up for him were correct - he had the right to say what he wanted to, & even the hate in his lyrics- you'd be (illegally)banned for freedom of speech today- but that was truly the last of free speech, GG & from a female perspective, Wendy O.👱♀️ Never forget, we used to truly have free thinkers, real frustration & anger over society accepting what ever we're hippy spoon-fed & giving up freedom of thought&speech to feel safe or self-rightiously sickening - cancel culture is cancer🚫 , free speech📛 is paid-edited by folks who want the blandest, most biased commentary acceted&acceptable...Anyway, GG just fxxxxd up his own pre-planned suicide.

He used a Muse . A fallen angel . All music is controlled by them . Listen to the lyrics to Barry Mannilo's ....., I write the songs . It's lyrics are so Satanic .
Look at Jim Morrison at the Singer Bowl 68 and tell me he ain't possessed by something. And check out his whirling dervish anti gravity performance at Mt. Tam summer 68.
I saw Iggy in the 70s with MC5 I think at soldiers Field in Chicago. He was throwing peanut butter into the crowd and then he jumped off the stage ran into the crowd and continue to throw peanut butter at everybody he was pretty insane that day!

You can check Huey’s junk for yourself in a Robert Altman movie. It’s called Short Cuts, and Julianne Moore also goes pantless for a long scene with Matthew Modine. And yes, the carpet matches the drapes. 😂
9:47 Vietnam War-era U.S.-issue officer's raincoat just like the one worn by Michael Biehn in 'The Terminator' and Richard Crenna in 'First Blood'. 17:00 To be fair to him, he's in really good shape for his age (and also considering the years of drug use and masochism that have basically turned his skin into leather).
DAVID BOWIE told a story about 'THE STOOGES' very first gig in the u.k. he said IGGY came storming out throwing jello at people and then he started jumping into the crowd and pulling girl's hair and before the second song was over they had cleared the room. now THAT is rock n' roll. BOWIE also made a comment on how many people compare IGGY to JIM MORRISON and that JIM M. was more based on a tragic european model whereas IGGY was "more american than mickey mouse" and i'd say he was right.
I don't care about shocking bourgeois punk things, i need somme Iggy songs, saw him two times in phrance and is not deceive me, one of the singers who put me out of the metal or indie rock pretentions and make me stay to the real Rock'n'Roll vibe
Saw Iggy with Steve Jones in Lyon Fr in 88,he dove and they moved,Thuunkk!! He got up cursed them all then got back to it.later..Jones tried to swing his guitar round his body and smacked himself square in the face and fell over.He didnt move his arm fast enough and the strap brought the guitar up and wham..funny gig.Getting High On You,was the tour,with Hanoi Rock Bassist and Keyboards.The Frogs didnt know what to do.We had to clear a dance floor at the front cos no one was moving at all.Legendary gig..!
I saw him live 20yrs ago and I wasn't offended one bit. I do not wish to send you down that rabbithole , but If you put rockstars from circa 1967-1983 under a microscope , you will find the word 'offensive' has a whole new meaning 🤫 [ That is Pre social media , usb cables, Donald Trump and cameraphones ]
I was aware of the Stooges at the time. Never much into then. During The Billion Dollar Baby's Tour in 1974, we got to see Alice Cooper unwillingly Vomit on stage.
@@cathy9224 Yw! I seen Iggy booed off stage Thursday,Friday and Saturday @pontiac/rollingstones concert in 82 I believe it was… Pontiac was not very nice to him. That or tried to get something more out of him. Maybe it was right after a rehab stent? He sure didn’t act like Iggy🤷🏼♀️
😂 My daughter had a boyfriend (a little crush) in middle school who was named Iggy. His dad was a huge fan and everyone knew it. He did grow up to be successful though and so did my daughter. They were adorable back then. Iggy Pop was an ICON. ✨
So the present was the angel dusted substance from Bebe Belle or the peanut butter sandwich or a dildo or what!?‽¿¡ I saw him in Apache Junction (Phoenix)'78. I saw his weewee. There was the vagabond motel across the street. He said ' I'm staying across the street, at the Vagabooond!..... He know how to play on the ironisizm of every moment. To be crazy and funny at the same time. But that means nothing if you're not a great entertainer. And he's a great entertainer. He seems to fit all these cliche rock subadjectives, but he's indescribable. This was one if those 70s giant Phoenix/Scottsdale clubs where even the punk girls look like they'd fit in at a Poison concert. But we all were enraptured together by the great one😊. Band on, always on I heard, but so much so it deserves mention.
There are many others....even me at the top.....but I am for hate and fear and violence not gross crap.....many singers offended people including Dee Snider and Blackie Lawless not mention Dead of Mayhem
This is just stuff he did when young and loaded. Completely missed the crazier stuff he did sober. The pepsi incident, kicked out of Australia, got mad at his label and released "Dirty Little Doggies" for free on line. Got a Razzy. Reunited with the stooges. Got strep, couldn't sing, so he handed the mike over to the audience. Then free of his singing duties he was free to do whatever...
He pretty much created a genre of music with the help of The Stooges. Now, you can dislike this stuff all day long but those who create something new and influence so many can't lack talent.
Wait-I thought that Dave Alexander was too stoned/drunk etc. to play and did not play at Goose Lake…and got fired for that. I am confused. I vaguely remembered hearing a track from that show and not hearing a bass. Am I wrong? I loved Dave’s bass playing-simple yet very emotional and soulful. He also wrote the music for a number of their songs. Does anyone know what the definite story on this is. Just curiosity. Bad move there Jimmy.
& hey, clickbait, what was the white sunstance? Ketamine is my guess- but it coulda been fxxxx drano for all we know...such were the great moments in live shows long past- like the leg ! Born with, or one of the horrendous(& totally cool) self-inflicted injuries he did to himself- like the Alice Cooper, EMT moment , perhaps? Oh well. Still supporters of Iggs, NorNorCal... love yah, Iggy . Stick around as long as you can, we're running out of genuine musicians/music, buddy . -bb💙🎶💙+B- Iggy is a handsome skinbag of animal antlers, ain't he ? A true classic- the Lord Byron, give it all to your music-man!!!! Für immer und immer !!!!

He pretty much created a genre of music with the help of The Stooges. Now, you can dislike this stuff all day long but those who create something new and influence so many can't lack talent.
You sing us something.
@NormanFinkelstein9863 ill sing you a hell of a tune and I'll play a hell of a tune on the geetar
You got that right he is the most talentless person I have ever seen on stage... And he sure can't sing
SOLD HIS SOUL FOR ROCK N ROLL .
He has a son called "Rock And Roll"
Wait-I thought that Dave Alexander was too stoned/drunk etc. to play and did not play at Goose Lake…and got fired for that.
I am confused. I vaguely remembered hearing a track from that show and not hearing a bass. Am I wrong? I loved Dave’s bass playing-simple yet very emotional and soulful. He also wrote the music for a number of their songs. Does anyone know what the definite story on this is. Just curiosity. Bad move there Jimmy.
If the fans gave up on him, why were they there. Personally, he was a waste of my time.
GG Allin says hold my syringe
Lol, I wouldn’t touch GG Allen’s syringe unless I had leather gloves and a hazmat suit.
GG just followed the archetype Iggy created. There’s nothing original or creative about GG.
He was also fond of shoving the mic up his own arse.😂

Fair, but GG Allin is kinda his own thing at this point.
His early stuff was great though.
& hey, clickbait, what was the white sunstance? Ketamine is my guess- but it coulda been fxxxx drano for all we know...such were the great moments in live shows long past- like the leg ! Born with, or one of the horrendous(& totally cool) self-inflicted injuries he did to himself- like the Alice Cooper, EMT moment , perhaps? Oh well. Still supporters of Iggs, NorNorCal... love yah, Iggy . Stick around as long as you can, we're running out of genuine musicians/music, buddy . -bb💙🎶💙+B- Iggy is a handsome skinbag of animal antlers, ain't he ? A true classic- the Lord Byron, give it all to your music-man!!!! Für immer und immer !!!!
I'm not a fan, but I do see him quite often at the beach where I go
