Homo heroticism ? In the eyes of the beholder I guess.

I think they've been sketchy since (Iggy &) The Stooges broke up. Even the good solo records (The Idiot, Lust for Life, New Values) are pretty average lyrically if you focus on the words.

"sweet sixteen" ain't bad either.

oh, and after hearing the album i kinda wish the stooges had "pulled a burma."

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.

Man, I love that Lust for Life record...

Can Steve record the Alice Cooper original band reunion record, with some wacky dude taking the place of the late Glen Buxton? Please. Pretty please. With boogers on top!

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?

Digressing a bit, what's up with the horrible digital clipping all over the Iggy Pop "remix" of raw power on CD? I never noticed this before. When I listened to it back to back against the vinyl I could totally hear what sounded like harsh digital distortion all over the new version. Am I imagining this?

Alice Cooper's "Killer" is probably one of the greatest records of all time. The song "yeah yeah yeah" just kills me. killlllllls me.

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.
