Iggy Pop has worked hard all his life with his physical live act. For many many years he was met with indifference. He deserves his money health & happiness.
@Bleek Chain Yes he was met with indifference. I have been following Ig since 1974. You couldn't give The Stooges' albums away back then. He said "Raw Power" was in the bargain bin albums section within six months of its' release. The first two albums were deleted for many years, and it was only after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones cited The Stooges as a big influence that they were reissued. Good luck to him. It has been a long, brutal journey, but he has got to the top of the mountain eventually.
OMG! I bought the first STOOGES album in 70 ( I think) and it was a cutout in the bargain bin! The coolest kid in school told me about it! I heard Wanna be your Dog!!!! AND THAT WAS IT!!!! I PLAYED THAT THING EVERY DAY TILL IT WAS WORN OUT!!! I made every one I could listen to it! It was great!! It sent people running from the room!!! Not because it Sucked but because it Literally SCARED Them!!!!! But the ones who got it! Changed just like me!!!
@Nicholas Montoto oh yeah 90 percent of the people who HEARD Em hated em!!! The Troglodytes just didn't get it!! I remember I was there! The world had to catch up with in them!!!! But they Literally frightened the idiots!! The Stooges played to 10 people at times!! MAN WOULDN'T YOU HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN ONE OF THEM !!!! FRIGHTENING MORONS PROVES YOUR ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!!!!
@@scooter8828 Scott When I took "Raw Power" to college in January 1976, I played it to a group of people who were into Queen, Floyd (post-Syd Barrett), Yes and LZ. Nobody said a word. After the opening track, this pompous idiot took it off the turntable and said to the crowd of hippies "Let's hear some REAL MUSIC !" He played "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to loud cries of approval. They never spoke to me again....... A few weeks later, an upcoming band called the Sex Pistols were making huge waves with their new sound. One of the encores was "No Fun". By the end of 1976, Ig was the King and the Old Guard were swept out of sight. Saw the Man on Sunday, March 5th, 1977 at the Rainbow, Finsbury Park, London. He sang like prime time Jim Morrison and moved like James Brown. Bowie was on keyboards. People lost their minds that night. Seen The Ig many times afterward. Nobody has come even remotely close. Only James Brown, Hendrix and Elvis '56 have rivaled him. As for The Stooges, their performance at Hammersmith Apollo on Tuesday 30th August 2005 was so good, I didn't see another group for three years!
It's amazing he is 72 years old he looks a bit tired but his mind is still good. I went to see him live in 1986 he was full of energy boy it was lound but never forgot that gig.
@@Forestgravy90 - i certainly haven't done the quality or quantity of drugs he has and I'm younger than Iggy, but it's taken it's toll on me... I've had to give it all up...lol...

I just cherish this guy! Especially since we lost Bowie, we can't take our elder statesmen for granted. Rock on Iggy!

Oh You are lucky !!

This man is a legend in every true sense of the word, one of the greatest.
I just love his bond with Biggy!
He is one of those guys that you look at, and if you had no idea who he was, you would just know that he has a cool story and you want to talk to him.
True! He got a face that you really dont see that often in the crowd....a rare speciement.
Still the coolest.
