The Stooges Play Madonna
(272)
I can't believe I missed this. It was aired live last night only on VH1 Classic, which I don't get. Excuse the crappy sounding clip, better ones should pop up eventually. The band performed "Burning Up" and "Ray of Light," and Iggy gave a fabulously deadpan quote of "Like A Virgin" at the end. Madonna was upset that while The Stooges have been nominated numerous times, they've never been inducted. So in protest she asked them to perform in her place. I'm glad Madonna s... MORE

Here's one of the funniest concert rider's since Van Halen requested no green M& M's in their dressing room - The Stooges concert rider for their current tour:
I personally love the tone of the whole thing, kind of has a "trust us" we know what were doing" feel to it.
Thanks to PCL Links Dump and The Smoking Gun.

So, I was reading metafilter as usual and came across a post about a funny foofighters tour riderwhich was cute...but then I read the part of the post about an Iggy Pop and the Stooges tour riderwhich totally had me in stitches! Then I remembered that once I actually kissed Iggy at a concert in the late 80's at a place called Hammerjackswhich is now tragically closed. I kept my lips closed...and it was kinda "ew" but also slightly thrilling altho I wanted to sterilize my m... MORE

In one of the strangest covers I've ever seen in my life, The Stooges covered Madonna's 1998 hit "Ray of Light" at the Rock Hall ceremonies. True, Iggy Pop and Madonna are both Michigan natives. And true, Stooges bassist Mike Watt has done session work with Kelly Clarkson, so it's not like there's no precedent. But that doesn't discount the weirdness (pun absolutely intended) of this video: Throughout it all, I found myself looking for a surprise cameo by the Son... MORE

You are all familiar with The Stooges, the band with Iggy Pop as the lead singer. I spent my teenage years in Ann Arbor, and went to Junior High and High School with the drummer, Scott Asheton. In the above photograph, Scott is the third one from the front. My sister, being a few years older, went to High School with Iggy Pop, then known as James Westerberg. Here's a 2004 shot of Scott as he looks now: But I thought you might like to see the evolution of Scott at ... MORE

THE STOOGES – THE WEIRDNESS (2007)RATING To be frank, surely no-one really had high expectations for a great return from the original garage Punk band ? Without David Bowie, riotous carnal live shows, a brush with the commercial charts (the annoying “Real Wild One”), monumental drug use, and flashing his cock at regular intervals, what would be left of Iggy Pop’s legacy over the last 30 years since the break up of The Stooges ? His solo recording career has been less th... MORE

After the larks we had at the Meltdown curated by Patti Smith a couple of years ago, I was excited at the prospect of the festival being curated by Jarvis Cocker. We failed to get tickets to Jarvis in conversation with Don Letts, The Forest of No Return (various players performing songs from old Disney films) and Devo (it's ok though, we got tickets for their show next week) but we did get hold of tickets for the Stooges show, which we went to last night. I acted fast enou... MORE

Leave it to the reformed proto-punk rockers, The Stooges (with Mogger Mike Watt on bass), to deliver a set at SXSW last night (Sat., March 17), that MTV News reporter Gil Kaufman described as the "true apocalypse." Kaufman wrote: "The true apocalypse, though, came a short time later with a set that was the perfect capper to a chaotic five-day journey. To say that reunited Detroit punk godfathers the Stooges blew the roof off Stubb's would be an understatement (and not on... MORE

I saw the the Stooges at the Congress Theater in Chicago Sunday night, and it was hands down one of the best concerts I have ever seen. No matter how enthusiastic the crowd was, they were no match for Iggy Pop's enthusiasm, which would have been remarkable for anyone, let alone an AARP member. What's even more surprising is that no song felt out of place. I expected as much from the selections from The Stooges and Fun House, but what was more remarkable to me was that the ... MORE
