Free Music Notes for The Stooges
Free Music Review: Just Four Nice College-Town Boys
Hit: 5 Stars
In the liner notes to this souped-up reissue/remaster of the Stooges' wide-eyed, dribbling debut, Detroit native Alice Cooper (whose albums with the original Alice Cooper band are in dire need of a sonic upgrade) confesses that the Stooges were the only band he never wanted to follow largely in part to Iggy Pop's wild streak of unpredictability.
Only 12 when "The Stooges" was released and 14 when the original band gave up the ghost, I never had the pleasure of seeing them live but I have seen Iggy solo several times, dating back to "The Idiot" tour, and "unpredictable" isn't an adjective which seems to fit much unless you consider Iggy staring down challenges from paying customers and eventually introducing them to "Little Iggy" abnormal. I've seen the guy's dick more than I've seen my own and believe me, I'm not proud of it.
Given the musical climate at the time, however, The Stooges were something of an anomaly when that first album dropped its anchor back in 1969 because, as Brother Wayne Kramer has so bluntly pointed out, the Summer of Love didn't stop in Detroit. The race riots which reduced much of the city to so much cinder just two years previous apparently hadn't even registered as a blip on the radar of Ann Arbor's favorite sons, whose insular world, created just a short trek down I94 from the city proper, rotated on alternating axes of mindless fun, boredom, psychedelic escapism, ostracism, and pleasures of the flesh.
Although the world has spun a few times in the ensuing 36 years, "The Stooges" still seems to defy explanation and/or context, a big-bang, primordial collision of monosyllabic angst and convulsing, tribal rhythm. There are those who feel all warm and fuzzy inside by anointing the Stooges harbingers of punk, but that seems woefully inadequate, perhaps even misguided. "No Fun," "1969," "Real Cool Time," "I Wanna Be Your Dog," and "Not Right" stake out a section of real estate entirely their own, oscillating between grey areas of alienation, tedium, and outright dementia, Iggy yammering, grunting, and howling over the Neanderthal lockstep laid down by drummer Scott Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander and the fuzzy, buzzing, angry hornet six-string dissertation of Ron Asheton.
Plain and simple: these guys weren't fooling around.
There's a bonus disc which gathers John Cale mixes of several songs which were deemed "too arty" by the band and later re-twiddled by Iggy and Elektra president Jac Holzman, and full versions of "Ann" and "No Fun," the latter which fades out much too soon at the 6:50 mark with Asheton stomping his wah pedal flat.
The Stooges Poster
Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, Fun House portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever. Each immortal album is now remastered and twice as amazing with a second disc of rarities and previously unreleased tracks. Elektra. 2005.Alternative Rock Music CDs
