So it would be sort-of ludicrous to try and tour as Iggy and the Stooges when there's only one Stooge in the band and then you have side guys. Basically, everybody's dead except Iggy and I. On June 22, 2016, Williamson made an official statement for the band saying that the Stooges are no more. Iggy Pop posted a message on his website stating "I am in shock. The 2000s lineup played festivals around the world, and in 2006 recorded a new album with Steve Albini.įounding member and guitarist Ron Asheton was found dead at his home in Ann Arbor, MI on January 6, 2009.
In 2003, Iggy, Scott, and Ron reformed The Stooges with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt filling in. As well, the band members enjoyed the work of jazz and soul artists such as Booker T and the MGs, James Brown, and Miles Davis (particularly 'Bitches Brew'). Examples include the often transgressive rock and roll artists The Doors, The MC5, The Rolling Stones, The Troggs, and The Who. The Stooges drew their sound from a variety of influences. The 1969 album 'The Stooges' has received since its release critical acclaim from many reviewers over the years. In fact, Velvet Underground member John Cale produced the original incarnation of their self-titled album. As has been said about The Velvet Underground, the handful of people who did actually buy the Stooges' early records at the time ended up forming bands of their own and thus changed history. Nevertheless, the Stooges are often regarded as hugely influential both on then-nascent heavy metal movement and also on punk rock.
They sold very few records in their original incarnation and often performed to indifferent or hostile audiences. The band had a shambling, energetic sound deliberately reminiscent of past garage rock groups.
Singer Iggy Pop and his wild onstage antics were often the focus of attention. Their best known lineup consisted of Iggy Pop (vocals), Ron Asheton (guitar), Dave Alexander (bass), and Scott Asheton (drums). The band reunited in 2003, released two further record in 20, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. Despite picking up little to no chart or radio success, the band has proved to be one of the most influential rock groups of the past several decades, inspiring many artists such as the Ramones.
Featuring a bombastic proto-punk sound, they released three studio albums before breaking up in 1974. The Stooges (also known as Iggy and the Stooges) were an American rock group that was formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1967. From a technical standpoint, Williamson was a more gifted guitar player than Asheton (not that that was ever the point), but his sheets of metallic fuzz were still more ba By most accounts, tensions were high during the recording of Raw Power, and the album sounds like the work of a band on its last legs - though rather than grinding to a halt, Iggy & the Stooges appeared ready to explode like an ammunition dump. By this point, guitarist Ron Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander had been edged out of the picture, and James Williamson had signed on as Iggy's new guitar mangler Asheton rejoined the band shortly before recording commenced on Raw Power, but was forced to play second fiddle to Williamson as bassist. In 1972, the Stooges were near the point of collapse when David Bowie's management team, MainMan, took a chance on the band at Bowie's behest.
