About this book

Exploding onto the late 1960s scene, The Stooges were a bunch of misfit Mid-Western delinquents, and their charismatic frontman, Iggy Pop, was a performer extraordinaire. Confrontational and theatrical, this maniacal entertainer was originally joined by the Asheton brothers, Ron and Scott, and Dave Alexander. This lineup delivered two albums of primal, brutal-sounding rock before fracturing. A fortuitous crossing of paths with David Bowie in 1971, however, led to a creative rebirth with a new guitarist in place, James Williamson and before delivering a third album of nihilistic ferocity. However, the album bombed, leaving the band to limp on until 1974 before calling it a day.

During their absence, the band's influential legacy blossomed, and in 2003, the original trio reunited, once again performing under The Stooges banner. The band toured extensively, finally achieving the respect and adulation that had been lacking the first time around. A new album appeared in 2007 before Ron's passing in 2009. Williamson subsequently returned, enabling the band to continue touring and recording before Scott Asheton passed away in 2014 and the band folded.

The Stooges' music has influenced countless other bands, artists and genres, and this book examines the band's enduring musical legacy by taking a fully comprehensive look at all the group's officially recorded output.
