I am amused how Iggy appeared on this program to deliver a statement. Ignoring and talking over the interviewer's questions, Iggy would make a great politician. He ought to run for office.
He seems to do it in most interviews, his brain is moving quickly and the pace of the interview is too slow. He speeds up then has to slow down to gather his thoughts. Amphetamine used to do that to me.
quite the opposite of a politician. a politician presents the world with a false veneer and a smile. Iggy on the other states “i’m here to increase my financial base and get my face out there and become more popular.” - entirely nonartistic reasons, without any political covertness. More shill and sell-out than at all political. even lower than a politician.
@@adambrass5163 It might not be political, but he's saying that because he doesn't hide the fact that the man has to make a living, like some other rockstars have done in the past/present, he's got to put food on the table somehow. And his means of doing so is by creating music that he is proud of. Just an honest guy
It's crazy man, a few years ago I would have found it distasteful but after a few extra years in the game, and seeing more and more hypocrites breed I admire that Iggy Pop, who really did create some great original music that was more dangerous than most, wanted to increase his wealth and influence because even legends like him went through hell and rejection to get to where they are today. God bless all who got to see him and others of his calibre. I love him because not only do I just love classic rock but I love the people who were alternative and weird even in those early days and anyone who got to see that is very lucky. It hurts very much that social media and the internet has killed music but it makes the great classics mean even more. God bless all that we accomplished.

This is Iggy in his best looking and musical era...the Berlin years with Bowie.Two albums,The Idiot and Lust For Life,dancing around bare chested,adorned with horse tail straddling black leather pants,bleeding,"I got a lust for Life". Worshipped him then,I was seven and couldn't remember the songs name until it was played late one night on a TV program in '84.14 and all your pocket money went on Stooges and Iggy records,some rare bootlegs...quite a few with a pressing of Kill City in white vinyl.Death Trip in Green.I thank my uncle the day he threw The Stooges first album at me and said "this is real Punk",sneering at my Pistols.

If you close your eyes and listen closely, Iggy sounds like The Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent. The similarities lie, not only in the regional dialect (both hail from Michigan), but also in their precise mental acuity and prodigious intellect. Listening to Iggy is like hearing Ted, sans jaunty aphorism.
“ i’m doing this to become more famous and increase my financial base” - on one hand honest, but on an equally other hand embarrassingly sell-out. super cringe.
There's no way in this world that Iggy could ever be a sell out. He's given more to his music and risked his mental, physical and spiritual well being to do what he does and did. Name one modern Rock n' Roll artist that's done that to the extent that he did, please.
Iggy Pop was living on the streets and destitute two years before this. Why wouldn’t he want to increase his wealth and fame as a musician? He wasn’t even making a living.

He's so sincere and straight forward. He's driven
He is being totally insincere here IMO

@@angryeel2864 i think you VASTLY overestimate the so-called "power" of social, or any type, of media.
I am sorry that this is the first time I discovered him. I feel that my life is richer now than few minutes ago.
Iggy pop is amazing this is inspiring
Tony Wilson dude. Tony Wilson is the man.
He referred to Iggy as “the Appalachian”... who would think of it now
@Craig B You sure are correct
Super intelligent guy.
Never forget the influence of Mr Tony Wilson' on British music' R I P miss you dude x

Igzzz a legend, inspires me to breathe.
Love his hair like that!
i dig the dracula haircut
Yeah, Dracula is swept back with a widow's peak, but whatever.
@@esteranderson5171 Check the hilarious house of dr frankenstein. dracula has the same hairstyle
The man is a GENIUS, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, IGGY IS a genius and iggy knows he is a GENIUS
Iggy talking thru the interviewer
Iggy the master manipulator. Love the analogy with Mad magazine. The ultimate rock God...soon to be just a memory never to be replaced
The interviewer is Anthony H Wison..founder of Fatory records in Manchester UK is i.e. Joy Divison and New Order...who the fuck is Tony Matin dude ?
This is the same guy on the Sex Pistols Anarchy in the U.K. live performance.
Absence of Faith huh?
You gotta realize he's probably drunk and or stoned in most of his interviews.
Halestoorm and then also in between those interviews
This is one of his only old interviews where he seems like he's not yakked out of his mind on coke or ecstacy.
i miss this world
Everyone in music wants to be big and sell a lot of songs and make a lot of money. If they say otherwise, they're lying.
If ppl focused on the art instead of the money we’d have a lot better art.
"Everyone"
@@hom0s4cer "Everyone" Yes, correct. Anything else to add?

Tony Martin? That's Tony Wilson! THE Tony Wilson. Lovely post otherwise
Iggy = Proto-Goth
Love 'Tony Martin," especially his farming
Full 2 minutes 51 seconds??
Tony Willson
Love that man! 😎😻
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️Iggy
That was interesting !
Honest answer without the hyperbole. Fame, money, career.
Iggy Pop, king of the Nerds!!
King of punk!!
He’s being ironic. If Iggy pop is a nerd then so is everyone else.
It is nothing negative to be a nerd, it is cool!
@@styrmugnsell4560 sorry being a nerd isn’t cool
Well... it is.
What’s the interview in the intro background from ?
Tony WILSON - Factory Records, and other shady ventures.
Me too! :(
Is this the Tony Wilson from Blues and Rhythm magazine?
I thought it was Tony Wilson factory records label owner
Tony Wilson...
Something went wrong, Iggy take off your close man!
Close, lmao
'Tony Martin'
Tony Martin? Wilson.
Tony Martin???
Who's Tony martin
Who the fuck is Tony Martin?
It's Tony Wilson, who founded Factory Records and Hacienda nightclub in Manchester...
@@MrThirstysharkI know who Tony Wilson is, I'm from Manchester
But I dont know who Tony Martin is

@@spoonlustproductions4100 Judging from your play list you are in absolutely no position to make such a statement.

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 living on the streets, right. Like Kurt Cobain who lived under a bridge.
This guy takes himself waaaayyy too seriously.
+Long Rat He's the fucking man, you fuck.
Maybe you watch too many of those modern MTV type interviews where artists are asked if they prefer boxers or briefs. I hate those.
You're the one taking things too seriously, Kid. :-D
Do your homework before you talk so loosely about a bona-fide living legend.
Who the fuck are you?
You can tell he's uncomfortable because he's got his shirt on and there's not a needle hanging out of his arm.
