This was ‘69! This sound had never been introduced before The Stooges influenced, inspired heavy metal, punk, and grunge. They were laughed off and let go by their record label ( Elektra) atm. Trailblazers
Check out vanilla fudge, Ian Hunter, the MC5. all were big influences on the stooges and each other contemporaneously.. it was that whole Detroit thing.
Im british and here in britain there's an awfull lot of brits that will not accept iggy as punk rock, for me these people don't know their music, he is 100% an early pioneer of punk rock and an influence on many genres of music. He's a legend.
They like to pretend punk sprang from nowhere and was a totally English invention. Totally ignores the influence of Iggy, The MC5, New York Dolls and even the likes of Them and the Kinks. The Sex Pistols were basically recycling Chuck Berry and T.Rex. That not a slight on them. “Never Mind the Bollocks” is a masterpiece. But it didn’t come from nothing.
Iggy himself said he wasn't punk and that he hated it... punk is just another brand created by Malcolm Mclaren, nobody called The Stooges punk, or the MC5 or The NY Dolls.... even The Sex Pistols, particulary John Lydon, didn't care about punk. The moment the media started to use the label 'punk' for those bands in the UK, the moment those bands made a step aside because that wasn't what it was about. And regarding influences, yes, of course all those 60s bands were an influence. We're talking about rock and roll, how on earth if you plan to put together a rock band won't be influenced by The Kinks? But that's only a part of the tale. Pete Shelley from The Buzzcocks said he was influenced by Can. Nobody ever would say that Can was a punk band. The Stooges were a garage band whose guitar player put the freaking fuzz pedal to 11. On their 2nd album they played psychedelic blues rock that smells a lot to heroin. And their 3rd is a hard-rock nuclear bomb. Punk my ass... Iggy was right, he never was a punk, because you can't label that guy, fortunately
@@aha3885 that's Las Vulpess, a spanish 80s band of only women. They changed the lyrics to "me gusta ser una zorra", literally "I like to be a bitch". It was the first years of democracy in Spain, and many rock bands weren't afraid to be provocative, bringing up sexual stuff, using nazi customs and so on... the specialty of the day was, nevertheless, weirdness and surrealism
Iggy needs to be seen live as that is the only way you understand the nihilism that is at the heart of punk. The lyrics don't matter as all the Stooges songs are about attitude.
I got to see him in a relatively small gig in the 80s. We were slam dancing with him on stage and when the bouncers came to kick us out he pushed them back saying - Oh no man it's part of the show! - Best live gig ever!
@@hilarymiseroy3251 crass, early clash, sex pistols, dead kennedys, bad religion and many more bands are proof that punk was a movement against the powers at be
Yes! I watched Chrissie Hynde bow down and kiss the stage after Iggy Pop performed in Santa Rosa, California. Iggy influenced so many. However, David Bowie might have been his biggest fan.
I guess this song is quite difficult to appreciate because it's so repetitive, but imagine hearing a song that gives off such raw and extreme energy more than 50 years ago. The Stooges were one of the bands that played punk rock years before before it was a thing. I can recommend some more up-tempo stuff from the same period: Flamin Groovies - Heading for the Texas border (1970), or MC5 - Kick out the Jams (1969).
I grew up listening to Detroit radio in the late 60s and early 70s and knew of MC5 and The STOOGES long before the RAMONES came along and the punk rock label became a thing! This is classic pre-punk!
The Stooges were proto-punk. They, along with a couple other bands, laid the groundwork for punk rock. When this came out it was very different sounding than what was then popular in rock music. It's angry and cynical.... when most other performers were still in the "peace and love" mindset of the counterculture.
Everybody hated The Stooges... except their hardcore fans. Iggy Pop (vocals) is an icon today 😁👍 The Ramones got together in NYC cos their crew loved The Stooges in the early 70's... and they couldn't stand bands like Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, or Genesis...😂
This song is a classic of garage rock!.. I played in a band back in the 80s and this is one we would sporadically pull out if we felt the crowds energy slagging!! NEVER failed to get the people up front & into the gig!!
When I was in the weeds bartending, and the song " No Fun " by the Stooges would come on from the mix we were playing that would always pump me up , and make me Happy!
Iggy one of the grandfathers of punk rock. This is very old proto-punk like MC5 , The Velvet Underground, The Shaggs, etc. Brad is funny lol. Solos in punk rock music is usually very short or none at all. Or just plain messy. lol
What you need to understand is, this song came out in 1969. Punk rock didnt realy exist at this point, but iggy and the stooges, velvet underground were pre cursersers to that music.
Iggy Pop is considered "The Godfather of Punk" and has some outrageous concerts. A character in the movie "Velvet Goldmine" is based on Iggy. He also went solo and had 3 albums produced by David Bowie.
Lol.. never saw Lex have to try so hard to like something. Old punk is one of things that's hard to get if ya wasn't there. I never try to get anyone turned onto the Stooges , I wait til they bring it to me. Lol
back in the day I bought this album because I saw it was produced by John Cale from the Velvet Underground... the Velvet Underground and the Stooges were two of the early foundations of what became punk rock... very few people liked these groups when they came out, and I tried to get people to listen to these bands but it was a hopeless battle back then... but the people who liked these bands went on to create punk rock.... I read that the Ramones became friends in high school because they were the only ones in their school who liked the Stooges! This is from their first album.... for something from a few years later try a song called "Your Pretty Fact Is Going to Hell" ... produced by David Bowie
John Cale one of the most influential and overlooked, yet most influential characters to shape the sound of what was yet to come. Not only the producer of The Stooges debut here (btw he also plays that hammering sleighbells/piano chord on IWBYD here and viola on We Will Fall), but also Patti Smith's Horses and The Modern Lovers selftitled debut. Furthermore he produced and arranged Nico's triology The Marble Index, Desertshore and The End, creating the first proto-goth albums in rock music. He was also the main force behind The Velvets then revolutionary and groundbreaking sound, implementing classical and avantgarde elements and techniques such as the drone into rock music. Pure genius!
This song was originally written in 1967 and performed regularly at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. The Grande Ballroom was CBGB's before CBGB's. It was a venue in west Detroit where acts like the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Jimi, Janis, Steffenwolf, etc... played. For many nights the opening acts would either be the Stooges, or MC-5. Either of those bands would get the crowd primed for the main acts. The lead vocalist, Iggy Pop, would go on to much more successful solo career later on. This is the root music to punk. So this music was underground, but highly influential.
In my opinion . . . this was the true birth of punk rock .. . 8 years before the rest of the music world was ready for it . . . BAD-ASS SONG!!!!!! Iggy is a BEAST!!!!! Love your reaction
When they came to town the Nuns told us not to go, they said if our parents let us go to that they did not love us. I went and was like omfg the Nuns were right! I was terrified. Iggy and I come from the same town. He was a litterateur genius. His dad beat him if he did not get A plus in school. This man gave David Bowie the confidence to be a super star.
The Stooges were a legend. You can't imagine what it was like discovering the Stooges as a 15 year old in the mid 70s. When disco hit I was into the Stooges and the Velvet Underground. John Cale from THE Velvet Underground produced this album.
This song is a fricken masterpiece. That guitar tone, the keyboard that doesn’t do a goddamned thing. There’s almost nothing happening- but it’s raw, powerful, and just a little fucked up. So good.
Punk is such an interesting genre. It was meant to be underground music with stripped down instrumentation and angsty lyrics. The more popular a punk band became, they were perceived to be less punk and more of a "pop" sub-genre of punk. This is why so many ppl in the streams can't decide on what's punk because it's not just the old school sound from the late 60s and 70s, but also about how popular they were. Hard to please a mass audience in a stream of the music is too underground. Lots of popular bands have the punk sound and were highly influential for the genre... which punk purist hate. It's a no win situation. Feel bad for bands like Green Day... they'll never get full props for their roots or accomplishments.
One thing to remember about Iggy and the Stooges is that they always played so loud he couldn't waste a lot of time putting on lead singer vocal antics. His delivery was perfect for their sound. Greatest and loudest band ever.
Even though everyone wants to claim that the stooges created punk despite the fact the singer Iggy Pop said himself that they are not punk or created punk we created music...that doesn't take away the fact that the stooges had a major influence in the creation of the p[00
My sister-in-law lives in the "Mudhoney" house in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. There are still remnants in the basement from when the band used to lived there. Oh Yeah....Mudhoney is still a great band!!
Punk found itself in a Catch-22 early on. The more successful a punk band became the less credible they were in their fans' eyes. Another aesthetic for punk was a healthy disdain for your audience, your label, other bands and your childhood record collection.
Yeah and at the same time the successful punk bands started to dictate what the definition of 'real' punk was when the whole idea was that punk was supposed to be freeform and without rules. :)
One of the coolest musical things I've ever seen on television was back in the 80's when David Sanborn joined with Sonic Youth to perform a cover of this banger. When you're ready for more from The Stooges, check out "Down On The Street", "Search and Destroy", "1969", and "Gimme Danger" (the violent Iggy mix) among others.
I'm glad you are doing more Iggy Pop / The Stooges - I hope you keep including them in future reactions. I'd like to echo what other people are posting here: this was 1969. Most music was simply pop / easy rock / R&B / and hippie music. The Stooges were pioneers in punk music. Over 50 years later - it's still enjoyable. I hope you do 'Down On The Street' next also - that's my favorite Stooges' song. Thank you for your reactions.
Iggy Pop The Godfather Of Punk A man who’s on stage persona and song writing inspired punks forever Also if you like some real stooges energy listen to TV eye on there second record Funhouse
Iggy explained in his bio this was a phrase his gang used back then, not sure maybe it was a joke. Also he lost his virginia ty to an older girl @this time...oh check out the MC 5... from detroit...kick out to the Jams'
Try “Down on the Street” by these boys. Iggy wrote it while hiding in a closet trying to be quiet around the wife he was married to for a few weeks. The song goes more places and I think you’ll get a better idea of why this band is so fucking iconic.
This song 🎵 from 1969 is so punk, it almost sums up the entire genre if one song could possibly do such a task. It certainly makes the case for Iggy Pop as the Godfather of Punk, even if some will point the MC5s way.
I wouldn't doubt for a minute that they do, in fact, play this song in BDSM dungeons lmao The Stooges are considered a proto-punk band like MC5. Love seeing reactions to punk music so please keep it comin! There's not many out there doing it but the punk community appreciates it :P
Public image limited- disappointed, ruse, happy, thus is not a love song. Johnny Rotten is his own genre. Have you done Bauhaus yet? More LIVE stuff - you gotta SEE Iggy, Rotten.
Iggy Pop is amazing and influenced many many people. This is a 1969 song about S&M and is one of my favorite love song. The guitar work was cutting edge at the time. Brad you were a little quick with the pause, but Lex got it.
The start of it all, recorded in 1966. Lou Reed's streetwise provocative lyrics combined with John Cale's screaching viola drones - a subversive masterpiece: mysterious, seductive and sinister. A must listen!
Great! I love that reaction. Brad has quite fun and Lex is having a hard time ... and saying this nice "I think there is room for everything..." - very kind, very diplomatic ;)) (btw. I like that song, though).
This was ‘69! This sound had never been introduced before
The Stooges influenced, inspired heavy metal, punk, and grunge.
They were laughed off and let go by their record label ( Elektra) atm.

The Stooges are proof that punk started in Detroit.
The fact that this came out in the 60s is INSANE
Very early punk rock. 🎸

It sounds like a cool stream of conscious lyrics with a defiant attitude.
Stooges are the type that grow on you the more you listen which is a sign of good art.
Punk before punk...

Stooges are proto punk. But if you wanna get a deep cut proto punk go back to 1963, The Monks "I hate You."

My mom went to high school with Jimmy (iggy). He's also my unofficial godfather. Joan Jett did a really sexy cover of this. It is a fetish song.
the song is written from a dog’s perspective. Dogs think in the present tense

Early stuff. Iggy Pop/ Iggy Stooge went on to have a solo career bigger than the Stooges. But this is a great example of one of the pioneers of Punk.
proto-punk. Their third album, Raw Power, is fundamental to alternative music and punk.

The start of it all, recorded in 1966. Lou Reed's streetwise provocative lyrics combined with John Cale's screaching viola drones - a subversive masterpiece: mysterious, seductive and sinister. A must listen!
Iggy performing this live at the Olympia Paris in '91 has to be seen to be believed...
thats actually my fav guitar solo lol
Great! I love that reaction. Brad has quite fun and Lex is having a hard time ... and saying this nice "I think there is room for everything..." - very kind, very diplomatic ;))
(btw. I like that song, though).
The book Please Kill Me by Legs McNeil I'd like the bible of the proto and first wave of punk. A MUST READ!
Lex figured it out at 5:08
The guitar solo is pure electric.
