Iggy & The Stooges Hit Massey Hall

Mere days after having their van full of gear lifted from the streets of Montreal, Iggy & The Stooges bravely soldiered forward like the gallant garage rock darlings they are. Of course, Iggy Pop and friends are an ornery bunch at the best of times, so the missing ampage only added fuel to the band's already torrid stage show. Amazingly, the...

Iggy Pop — A Million In Prizes: The Iggy Pop Anthology

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) July 19, 2005 2:04 pm
With his ripped chest, long blond hair and punk growl, Iggy Pop's been rock 'n' roll's bad boy for almost 40 years. Now, thanks (or no thanks) to Jet and other fiery rock 'n' roll youngsters, the godfather of punk's popularity is on the rise again. His latest Best Of will only help him as it's his most comprehensive one yet. Spanning his...

Iggy Pop Appears On American Idol

By Michelle McGlynn (CHARTattack) April 8, 2011 12:44 pm
Shirtless, wrinkly wonder Iggy Pop took to the stage to top off the end of the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame theme on this week's episode of American Idol. The 63-year-old's relatively tame (by Iggy standards, since there was no peanut butter-smearage or broken glass-diving) rendition of his top 40 hit, "Real Wild Child" perhaps shocked the audience...

Search And Destroy Documentary Gets Behind Iggy & The Stooges' Music And Album

in
By Dan Lovranski (CHARTattack) June 16, 2010 12:28 pm
This documentary deals with the making of the most notorious of the three albums by The Stooges in their initial heyday of the early '70s (they've actually released new records over the past few years). Raw Power (1973) was a truly unique recording for it's time for several different reasons, all of which are covered in the film. There had a...

We're going to declare today Rock Appropriation Day. It seems pop starlets have, over the last 24 hours or so, realized that, "Hey, this 'rock' thing is kinda awesome; maybe if I cover this band's tune, I can have a crossover hit." (Or maybe that's just what their managers are telling them.) Yesterday, Shakira covered The XX's "...

Pop took the top spot on the list, which was compiled by polling 1,300 people. The former Stooges singer bested Celebrity Big Brother contestant and model (wtf?) Jodie Marsh, who came in second.

Iggy Pop is considered one of the first people to stage dive, and he's been doing it recently despite being 62 years of age — a time when most people are getting ready to retire. But the Godfather Of Punk has decided he'll no longer stage dive after jumping off stage at New York City's Carnegie Hall last month. He hit the ground because nobody...

Iggy singing in French is not quite as awkward as Preston Manning's failed attempts to speak the language, but nonetheless Preliminaires is still a bit difficult. Luckily, Iggy doesn't sing in French on too many of the tracks, and there's some pretty decent stuff here, like the skronky "King Of The Dogs." We're still not really sold on...
