i.e.-reunite the lineup and re-record the songs that were never properly recorded. like the first half of on/off/on.

only i wish they had reunited w/ james williamson and finally put good production and performances on "i got nothin'," "johanna," "cock in my pocket," "head on," "i got a right," "scene of the crime," "i'm sick of you," "rubber legs," etc.

i mean, if those songs were put on one album and sounded good and not like bootlegs or demos it'd be a fucking killer album.

but alas, i'm stuck with my bootlegs and demos.


That would be really great. But, isn't or wasn't there quite a bit of animosity between the Ashetons and James Williamson, and wasn't that at least part of the reason why the Stooges broke up in the first place? And isn't that why they aren't playing anything from Raw Power on their tour?


i think they aren't playing anything from "raw power" since ron was on bass and not on guitar.

also, i've never heard of any animosity between the ashtons and williamson.


I'm pretty sure, at least according to the book "Please Kill Me", that Ron wasn't too pleased to move over from guitar to bass. I think he felt he was being demoted in the band. Whether there is any continued animosity or bad feelings, I couldn't say.

I think James may have been playing guitar when I saw Iggy play at Waves (where Smart Bar now is) in Chicago during the early 80's. That was a great show.

this weirdness record fucking sucks. his lyrics are ridiculous, which might be funny if the delivery didn't sound so forced. he doesn't sound like he "really means" it, you know? he's trying to sound like he means it. iggy has become a caricature of his former self. the old iggy was concerned about getting some cuddles, drugs and pussy, and other ways to "kill time."

i could tell during the first track that albini recorded it and noticing that is what brought me to this board. i was curios if i could find out why he recorded them (for the money?). and whether he actually thought it was good.

I'm cuious why you would inquire about a record you don't like, and why you wouldn't just fuck off instead.

Let's hear your record, cocksocket.

I do like the Japanese accent in your user name though.

Steve Albini just asked to hear your record, here's your chance.

cocksocket. good one.

discussing only what one likes can be severely limiting.

i'm curious why you (if this is really you), as an engineer, would take this criticism personally. however, i am humbled that you responded. musically the album isn't bad, imho. it's iggy who ruins it.

japanese accent? did i just walk into something?

as for my record, i don't have one. i did, however, just shape my first surfboard. i'm happy to post a picture for your review.

I dont understand why anyone would expect the Stooges to somehow channel what was going on thirty..yes, that is THIRTY YEARS AGO into a recording they did recently?
I didnt have any expectations. Maybe that is why I pretty much liked it. It grows on you. It is not like anybody really gave a fuck about the Stooges when they were putting out those records years ago anyways.
I bought the first Stooges record when I was really into Iron Maiden. I didn't get it. Eventually, I did. Putting everything in perspective sometimes helps.

But I will say that the three new Black Sabbath songs with Dio hit the spot better for me. Sorry kids.

I don't know about anyone else but I was not expecting them to build a time machine. I just thought they would do some music. I was wrong.











OK that's not exactly true, but it is funny. Really, my main gripes were A: the song I heard was unnecessarily repetitive, and B: Iggy sounded like a pussy. He should have used his DEEP voice, not his asphyxiating voice.
