I really like Ron Ashton's insane, jagged, nasty fuzzed out guitar solos. And if John Cale was responsible for suggesting they had that insistent, bleak one note piano and sleigh bell parts on "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the cello on "We Will Fall", he deserves kudos as their producer. Favourite song from this album would be "Not Right", but "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is up there too.
Marc Fedak Absolutely. Many have used Cale's repetitive piano chord in their own songs such as Bowie, Eno, Roxy Music, Modern Lovers, QOTSA, LCD Soundsystem etc. So simple, yet pure genius!
Back in the day, I was at the last Stooges show to be performed by the original line-up. i was about three feet from Iggy, and kept waiting for something unfortunate to happen to me. A very energetic performance of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" was one of the true highlights of the show!
@@Onemore59 you mean Scott Ashton -- Ron was on guitar. But in any case, what you said sounds right, because I believe on Metallic KO (their live album), Iggy had everyone in the band "take it down" so he could single out Scott and give him some pointers on how the drum part was supposed to go, ha, ha.

They had it all figured out. 3 albums with all the feeling, the sweat, the guts, the energy, the groove, the sound, the wildness, the weirdness that make Rock n Roll the most awesome entertainemnent ever to be.The most joyfull releaving breathtaking thrill there is. And The Stooges are its best servants.
Reviled in 1969 Revered in 2019 The Stooges were a class act, although very people recognized them at the time. At least they lived long enough to see their long-overdue glory.

I'm 51, and I grew up on this music. My old ex-hippie dad came home with the lust for life album on vinyl, when I was about 14or15, and explained that iggy was punk before they were calling it punk. That was about a hundred years before the term proto... was a thing. Anyway sucky part is that all these years later, I got all the old iggy albums, and my dad isn't around to listen to them with me, kuz he died when he was four years younger than I am now!
@@genohskn440 We said Iggy was the "godfather of punk" back then for shocking the world out of its hippie stupor. Right after the failed "summer of love." I think their first Stooges show was fall 1968.
I’ve been a fan of this record for a while, but this mix sounds great! All the parts are clear, not muddy, and the hand claps are great. Iggy’s voice has depth and nuance, not just raw passion.
Great lp but i find a lot of the reissues have too much high end tint. Could just be 40 years of loud music damaged my ears! But i think in general they bring up too much of the highs
Absolutely brilliant. A true masterpiece. Sounds just as good today as it did back then. Truely the most dangerous Band in the world. God save The Stooges. 🧷🧷🗡️🚬🍺🤘☠️👹😈
@@paulvanreesch2493 Nobody much had heard of Ann Arbor back in the day, Detroit was something they could identify with. Also, the militant wing of the antiwar movement started in Ann Arbor, even moreso than Berkeley.
I was in 10th or 11th grade when I first heard "the Stooges" in its entirety. To this day, it still blows my mind. Saw Gimme Danger play Stooges set last nite in S.F. before Dead Boys took stage. Took me right back to why I still love this band.
Ron Asheton (a guy who lived his whole life with his mom, nothing wrong with that, but he never made any money off the Stooges) proving what a genius he is on the first track, 1969. One of the great players in rock history. I saw him about five times in late 70s/early 80s in ChiTown playing with Niagra in Destroy All Monsters. I guess Ron always went for the eccentric singers.

I was in on the ground floor with this one, because I lived in metro Detroit and had a friend who dug a lot of the local talent, like The Frost, Rare Earth, and The Stooges. 14 years old in '69 and trying to make sense of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'! Didn't know what to think, but LOVED the sound!
Clarity Dreamsleeves 8 days ago .. We're about the same age. Born in 1956. I was just 13 in 69' .. ( too young for Woodstock according to my pops ) .. I grew up about an hour outside of Manhattan and I was lucky enough to catch the Stooges at CBGB and Max's Kansas City in 72, 73, 75. Iggy was the undisputed 'King of Punk' at that time. We thought little of seeing Lou Reed, David Bowie, Debby Harry, John Cale at their gigs. Mink 'Willie' DeVille' was a really nice guy who would talk with us and sneak out for a smoke and bump from time to time and he introduced us to some really cool New Yorkers and musicians. Right around 79' we started a band of our own out of the Bridgeport CT. area named 'Raw Power' !!! We played many covers of Iggy's stuff as well as the others, and some originals. Bridgeport is a lot like Detroit in a lot of ways.
i've always felt we will fall was too much Cale, not enough stooges........but, really, like others i heard 1969, wanna be your dog, and No Fun echoing in a stairwell once....and life was much different. same with VU's I can't Stand it. no complaints, here.
There was no real, direct precedent to the basic sound these guys were producing with the possible exception of some garage rock singles and maybe the Velvet Underground's "White Light White Heat" album (as well as the sounds from the Stooges' contemporaries, the MC5). Except for the song "We Will Fall", you can definitely hear why Iggy Pop earned the moniker "the Godfather of Punk". This was released almost 7 years before the Ramones debut album (i.e most likely the first Punk album).
Who would have predicted that Iggy would still be alive and thriving when so many who came after him fell by the wayside long ago. He's the punk rock O.G.!
My older sis, had this LP., when it came out, she was 18. myself, 11..use to play it on her turntable, like the music so much, that i became a DJ in radio ( Detroit, Miami )..
Damn you must of had a cool sister. Wish I could get my sister into this... though she is only 8 and doesn't understand it. Hope she gets it how amazing this album is when she is older loll
I fully agree. I will always Funhouse best, but this record is still killer sounding with great songs. The Marble Index by Nico is cool companion piece to this record. We Will Fall & that record intersect perfectly.
@@hasanabir115 I was watching the Jarmusch documentary the other night... paraphrasing from memory, but Iggy said his voice sounded too clean or studio-sounding or something like that.
I like all incarnations of the Stooges, and its interesting to see how they metamorphasized over 3.5 albums: their excellent debut, "Funhouse" (with such classics as "TV Eye", "1970", "Dirt"), "Search And Destroy" (the title track, "Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell", the more subdued "Gimme Danger") and the intense yet lesser known EP on Bomp Records, "I Got A Right".
Only the greatest band ever... These guys didn't even know how to play their instruments when they started out. They went on to change the face of music forever with 3 albums....
The Doors is just one of many influences. The guitar riff from 1969 is lifted from the Byrds song Tribal Gathering. Listen to the last minute of that song. The drums from 1969 are Bo Diddley.
Got this LP for a dollar at a pawn shop in 1980.. best find ever! Still have it. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" may be the best Punk song ever @ 4:08 , and "Little Doll" @ 31:23 is kick ass too..
The stooges three albums (yes there's only three,shut up) are perfect rock n roll music,with my personal order being Funhouse first,Raw Power second and this one third,but they're all classics
Like another poster said, there was only 2 initial releases from the original Stooges lineup. Raw Power is different. So much misinformation on the net, I’m glad I don’t believe everything I read.
@@chazchuckyboyz4733 no one was being called punk until Ramones played CBGB I could be wrong, this is proto punk along with velvet underground ny dolls and maybe modern lovers
Saw the Stooges once at crosley field in Cincinnati in 1970 I was 16 that was crazy crowd went nuts when Iggy started smearing peanut butter on his body I never experienced anything like that ever again but I did go buy the stooges and fun house LP's. A few years later you could find the eight track tapes in the markdown section for a .50cents. I obviously couldn't pass that deal up.

one of the most important records of all time Ron wrote and recored many of these songs all first take and wrote many in a couple hours. Ron wore a lot of Nazi stuff which Malcom later adopted for the Pistols Dave is a fantastic bass player and scott is amazing on the drums. Jim or iGGY is one of the greatest frontmen almost like Jim Morrison always full of energy
Anda few years earlier the artist Alton Kelly and Pigpen for the Dead wore swastikas and stuff. You see it around san fran in early 67 or so. Of course it wasnt in support of the ideology behind it, but was for shock and and a commentary on the political system
The guitar play on this album is exemplary. Simply fantastic.
No it's not.
Very influential for sure. So many 90's bands shamelessly ripped off their sound: Kasabian, The Hives, The Strokes, etc...
Well that's not right. I don't think I wanna be your dog. Signed: Ann '1969'
Rest in Peace Ron Asheton

Drone music has been around much longer.
It's a staple in Eastern music.
Think Ravi Shankar.
It's a viola, like Cale played in the Velvet Underground.
in most punk rock bands the singer dies and the rest of the band lives much longer

I don't care what Iggy says I think John Cale did a great job producing this album.

I fully agree. I will always Funhouse best, but this record is still killer sounding with great songs. The Marble Index by Nico is cool companion piece to this record. We Will Fall & that record intersect perfectly.

I might sound a bit out of touch but what did exactly Iggy say about Cale's production here?
@@hasanabir115 I was watching the Jarmusch documentary the other night... paraphrasing from memory, but Iggy said his voice sounded too clean or studio-sounding or something like that.
this album was 10 years ahead of its time
It predated GNR by over 15 years.
So who was doing this in 1980 ?
I like all incarnations of the Stooges, and its interesting to see how they metamorphasized over 3.5 albums: their excellent debut, "Funhouse" (with such classics as "TV Eye", "1970", "Dirt"), "Search And Destroy" (the title track, "Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell", the more subdued "Gimme Danger") and the intense yet lesser known EP on Bomp Records, "I Got A Right".
the depression won`t win cause I have this
YOU GODDAMN RIGHT!!!!!!!
@@scooter8828 thankyou
@@Melvinator I completely understand!!!! The STOOGES got your back!!!!!!
Funhouse is what saved me in the past. Still currently is to some extent
@@SpiralDream IGGY IS A GIFT! A CURE! THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE AND PROTECT YOU!
Only the greatest band ever...
These guys didn't even know how to play their instruments when they started out. They went on to change the face of music forever with 3 albums....
I feel like it’s 1969 when listening! Best album!
We will fall is so dope
But faaaaaaar toooo short
Thank You Fathers of Punk.
Pioneering band, simple. Invented UK Punk in my view.
Only an altered mind would come up with something this engaging and beautiful. Also reminds me of The Doors.
Igg's first influence.
I hear more JHE than Doors, but, that's just me. In the end, this stands on its own merit.
No Iggy if weren't for morrison .
The Doors is just one of many influences. The guitar riff from 1969 is lifted from the Byrds song Tribal Gathering. Listen to the last minute of that song. The drums from 1969 are Bo Diddley.
Agreed especially we will fall I hear the velvets too that’s probably because of cale tho but still
Got this LP for a dollar at a pawn shop in 1980.. best find ever! Still have it. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" may be the best Punk song ever @ 4:08 , and "Little Doll" @ 31:23 is kick ass too..
or as Iggy would say with his Michigan accent, "Little Dall".
Cuando en la historia de la música aparece algo nuevo, se nota desde el primer acorde, desde la primera nota de la primera canción.
No political correctness here,just a bunch of fellas out to kick your teeth in
I can't believe that I haven't found this album before. Such a jewel!
The stooges three albums (yes there's only three,shut up) are perfect rock n roll music,with my personal order being Funhouse first,Raw Power second and this one third,but they're all classics
I absolutely agree... I always end up with the Stooges
mine kill city is no 1...
Like another poster said, there was only 2 initial releases from the original Stooges lineup. Raw Power is different. So much misinformation on the net, I’m glad I don’t believe everything I read.
The Ashton brothers were invited quite late into the shambolic raw power recording, Ron quoted as saying he "played back up to my own band"
I think both Funhouse and Raw Power are excellent rock records, with this one a close 2nd
Love the sound you produce- rock, steel, cosmic, deep earth, beautiful. Finally having a listen to full album with appropriate headphones, amazeballs.
Clássico absoluto ✌
Some people say the MC5 but I say this is the birth of Punk.
Both excellent bands but the birth of punk was the Velvet Underground.
That’s debatable.
@@chazchuckyboyz4733 no one was being called punk until Ramones played CBGB I could be wrong, this is proto punk along with velvet underground ny dolls and maybe modern lovers
Check it deep, The 5 taught The Stooges how to even play their instruments basically ....that said love em both...DETROIT BRED, CALI FED.....
Yeah I knew that MC5 were kinda like big brothers to the Stooges. I just feel like the Stooges were first to capture the essence of what punk became.
No Fun
the Best Rock record ever.. the Best Rock tune ever....!
Will never change my mind about it !!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Saw the Stooges once at crosley field in Cincinnati in 1970 I was 16 that was crazy crowd went nuts when Iggy started smearing peanut butter on his body I never experienced anything like that ever again but I did go buy the stooges and fun house LP's. A few years later you could find the eight track tapes in the markdown section for a .50cents. I obviously couldn't pass that deal up.
There's footage of that on here. Ironic. I'm a Native Detroiter now living in Cincinnati.
Happy Birthday Scott Asheton🎉
First time hearing this, holy shit it's amazing!
you have a bright future son
I know right! sounds so 80's punk, so modern to be late 60's. Underrated
Same, wow!
yeah because " its 1969 baby"
Where have you been all this time ? 😱
also, one of the best Bo DIddley records ever. i say that with love in my heart. greatness.
It's got a bit more distortion than Bo diddley (just a little bit).
Bo Diddley is the source. The spice must flow.
I wasted my youth - I'm 57 and this is the first time I've heard this.
Me too lol.
Frickin Awesome! Gotta love that classic rock sound. So innovative! 🤘🏻
@Claude Foot um
The point of this record is it very much was a rejection of straight-laced classic rock.

Best. Punk. Legend
Stay Forever 🤟😎
Not just him, please, zander, scott and ron are just important as jim

Very nice 👌 it's cool to listen good music while breathing oxygen (as a pain treatment)
Thank you
I wanna be your dog is such a raw classic
60 year old dude here. Just want to chime in and say OMFG!! In the 'old days' we didn't know what that meant, :) but it somehow feels soooo fkn appropriate!! LUV LUV
Grew up in 70 in Detroit. This is punk. Even the White Strip acknowledge this.
Una de las mejores bandas del rock, un punk único. Me les quito el sombrero.
incredible debut
One of the great debut albums in rock music.
Insane to think most of the album was literally written overnight!
yeah cux the lyrics are so sophisticated and witty in their intricate wordplay and ambiguous paradoxes. 2 chords. dumbass teen angst. that's all u need
@@michaelbaker3920 So how many globally classic albums do you write a day as it's so easy? 2021 and there are still dipshits who think complex equals good.
@@michaelbaker3920 Again you miss something huge, complex does not equal good and simple doesn't equal bad, ever heard Louie Louie or You Really Got Me? Clearly you don't get rock n roll that and also that I couldn't give a shit that you don't like the Stooges. If I did give a shit I'd only pity you anyway, you're the one missing out dear.
I'm so confused about the argument you two had lol
@@MidnightStorm4990 That's because this prick deleted a comment. These trolls tend to do that once you demonstrate they're talking shit. Basically he attemted to make out I am praising something simple and complex equals quality. Rather ironic as he proved to be extremely simple himself.
I'm Billy's brother James and I loved seeing MC5 in Chicago and the Stogges in Kansas city . Good old crazy shit and I like it live n Loud. Lo🎉all day n night long till the lights go out and the Blues to.
Sounds great, thx. Doesn't dilute the crunch and accents Cale's you-are-there production.
The Stooges are Cool
Спасибо за творчество! К сожалению ничего не понимаю, но очень зажигательно, своеобразно и круто. Оказывается легенда, а я ничего и не знал. Вот почему звёзды звёздами называются, она горит, а ты не знаешь. Скромняшки😀. Нравиться.
Я отвечаю вам с помощью гугл переводчика, потому что я не знаю русского языка. Вот тексты самых известных песен с этого альбома:
Я хочу быть твоей собакой
Так облажался, я хочу, чтобы ты был здесь
И в моей комнате я хочу, чтобы ты был здесь
И теперь мы будем лицом к лицу
И я лягу в свое любимое место
Да ты знаешь что это
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
(Давай) (Я хочу быть твоей собакой, ты это знаешь)
Ох дай мне
Теперь я готов закрыть глаза
Да, теперь я готов закрыть свой разум
Теперь я готов почувствовать твои руки
Теряю сердце на раскаленном песке
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
(Давай) (Я хочу быть твоей собакой, ты это знаешь)
Сделай это
Да, это так
Так облажался, я хочу, чтобы ты был здесь
И в моей комнате я хочу, чтобы ты был здесь
И теперь мы будем лицом к лицу
И я лягу в свое любимое место
Да ты знаешь что это
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
Теперь я хочу быть твоей собакой
(Давай) (Я хочу быть твоей собакой, ты это знаешь)
Ну давай
Я буду твоей собакой.

timeless.
It's amazing how Iggy who was originally an R&B and soul drummer became a prototype punk rock singer and icon !
Watching this band in 1970 must have been mind blowing 😳
one of the most important records of all time Ron wrote and recored many of these songs all first take and wrote many in a couple hours. Ron wore a lot of Nazi stuff which Malcom later adopted for the Pistols Dave is a fantastic bass player and scott is amazing on the drums. Jim or iGGY is one of the greatest frontmen almost like Jim Morrison always full of energy
Just noticed how Ron's Iron Cross is tucked in his jacket on the cover photo.
Anda few years earlier the artist Alton Kelly and Pigpen for the Dead wore swastikas and stuff. You see it around san fran in early 67 or so. Of course it wasnt in support of the ideology behind it, but was for shock and and a commentary on the political system
RAHOWA my fallen brother.
I think he went to Pioneer High.....which was one of those racial jungles Biden was talking about.
Based Ron
We Will Fall sounds great here
Love the fuzz box on the guitar.
Ooooooo Chi Ram Jam Ram Jam Ram Jam. Best song on this album, so different from the others
This album wins Covid-19 playlist for me.
Best Garage Band ever !!!
The best Stooges album, in my opinion
No fun was eons ahead of its time, man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eu nasci em 1950 tô muito louco não deixe o rock morrer
Vapo isso é sério msm
Loved to find out recently that Iggy was a huge Doors fan ,saw them in concert and knew he wanted to be a rock star after that!
🤘Awesome album n' band🤘
Love this master version!
I remember my friend and I bought this album and walked over to Sears and played this album on their record players and got kicked out
That's a well-spent youth right there.
Album super génial ! Iggy pop ,drug et alcool.
