Iggy & The Stooges – Artist Testimonials
The first thing that you notice about Raw Power is the album cover. I first saw it staring at me from a record store shelf in bonnie Scotland in the mid 70's and my first thoughts were that some psychopath had landed himself a record deal. Even in the glam rock '70s this looked outlandish and made other glam acts seem like mere show business. Iggy looked like he might want to tear your face off, but all I knew was that I wanted to buy this record. Raw Power was like a road sign in my life when I heard it I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to be like Iggy. It's impossible to overemphasise how influential this record, and for that matter any record by The Stooges, was to me and many others who formed bands.
JIM REID (Jesus & Mary Chain)
I played a benefit show with Iggy in 2009. He rocked the place to the ground and scared the living shit out of a bunch of us supposedly 'bad ass' rockers. He screamed 'play it right this time, C**KSUCKER!!' at the drummer, kicked his number one fan in the balls, and tore around the stage in an awesomely violent manner. Dudes from Rage, Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains, and the MC5 cowered like small children at the rear of the stage terrified we might fall victim next. When I got a little overconfident and took a tentative step forward- Iggy grabbed me, pulled me to the front of the stage and repeatedly screamed in my face, 'PLAY!!!' I thought I WAS playing but I turned it up a notch. Then he kissed me, did a freaky dance, and yelled 'I LOVE YOU!!'. For me it was an all time career highlight.
TOM MORELLO
Iggy is the godfather of Punk Rock. He represents what we all aspire to be in Rock & Roll. Iggy Pop's influence is what helps us take it one step further.
