- Punk music is what it is today because of the influence of Iggy Pop. He was the lead singer and songwriter of one of the genre’s most influential bands, The Stooges. He is often considered “The Godfather of Punk” for his raw and primitive style. The band gained a reputation for its confrontational style of performance, which involved acts of self-mutilation by Pop. His career is noted for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics as well as his distinctive punk rock voice and poetic lyrics. He is without a doubt one of the most fascinating punk rock singers who helped shaped the genre for future artists. Indeed, Iggy Pop's life and career are filled with wild and crazy tales which typified his style of artistry.

His music was punk before punk, grunge before grunge. He gets no credit for basically creating whole genres of rock but he is the absolute OG.
THE FUGS,,,BLUE CHEER.....grunge is a b.s term.
Not just him but the Stooges as well
He's underrated if you didn't live in those days. He inspired us all who were then and he knows it too.
Iggy is the man .
He’s the bomb.com💣
As rad as they get
He is indeed.
If David bowie seeks you out, you must be the bomb
I danced with iggy pop back in 1998 which was very cool.
since then, everything has increasingly been turning to shit
Not surprising. I've always thought of him as a sick individual.
I’d imagine after that experience everything else seems lackluster
@@daniellewatson9969 you would, you've never done drugs..
@@daniellewatson9969 So why are you watching this? Let alone contributing to the comments...
As a Detroit area teen when the Stooges began I saw them a couple times up close at their wildest
I’m lucky I got to see the stooges when I was a teen on their weirdness tour in 2006. Iggy had just turned sixty and was still as wild as I had hoped. RIP Ron Ashton
seen em a lot in these days, and made great contact.. which can be also seen in some youtube clips.. weirdness tour was 2007/8. iggy turned 60 in 2007.
@@hwb-zalpach I saw him at the Warfield in San Freancisco. It was his 60th birthday.
Toi bad 4 you man 69 to 90 ah it was all fun it was basically his story all along thatz really about it he reflected his life as it happened all the way thru .the story goes on discard new card.
All i saw was truth an honest attempt ,to be free and as true as possible to his needs expressive and chemical and stay frèe as possible under the laws n antics of an true american c. Induced clever big hearted walk the line attemting legendary poor american badass original r.s.!
American wild on live thru the eyes of !
Incredible artist, very important to music, fashion, media... TOUGH as nails!
He was one of the lucky ones who survived and, cleanup their acts. I’ve enjoyed his music. I’m also a Trekkie. He guest starred on Ds9, the Magnificent Ferengi.
he has the best spoken voice in rock n roll
Unique. Recording and performing for over 50 years and still relevant.
Saw Iggy on PBS in 1973 rubbing himself with peanut butter and cabbages cut in half. Blew my mind. Rediscovered him when I heard Soldier in 1979. All genius. Thank you Iggy. Wish you so much happiness.
I bought the 1st Stooges album after it soon came out after I had heard "I Wanna Be Your Dog". The beginning of that song is one of the greatest ever, if not the greatest. It began with a wild kickass Guitar feedback riff reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, and then the Christmas bells kick in perfectly causing me to go into an implausible music-induced stupor. Iggy then kicks in with the reality "I'm so messed up, I want you here" which is exactly what I was. That song knocked me off my feet. I was a big fan, saw him once in New York at the Filmore when he was touring with Bowie. It's a shame if that show wasn't recorded. He did things I've never seen on any of the concerts available on free CZcams. It may be available to CZcams subscribers? At the Filmore in New York City (1) He somehow contorted his body to fit inside a normal size wooden kitchen chair; (2) He then sat backward on the chair while singing 'China Girl' wearing a German-style helmet, sans any swastika or any other kind of Nazi regalia. (3) After Iggy sang the line "I'll give you men who want to rule the world," he then danced around the stage with the chair swinging it around wildly and violently before smashing it to pieces over his helmeted head. (4) Iggy then proceeded to climb up the scaffolding on the side of the stage and when he was about 80 feet over the middle of the stage proceed to hang by his knees upside down. It was scary.
I've been on a 'Search and Immerse' Iggy Pop videos mission on free CZcams. One constant is Iggy Pop's politeness and consistent honesty about every subject that's inevitably discussed in every interview. He only strayed from that only once that I've seen when discussing his influences. Most surprisingly, on a show called the 'CBS VAULT' Iggy Pop goes on a diatribe manifesting great sincerity about his hated of Punk Rock enumerating a list of revolting criticisms, and finishing it by telling the interviewer "I don't want to hear it come out of anybody's mouth." Iggy finishes by saying to the show's host, "Sir, do you understand what I'm saying? "
The host responds by saying, "You don't have to call me Sir." Iggy smiles and says, "No I don't but I forgot your name." You could tell he was up in the ozone layer. It's hysterical.
The Passenger is my favorite Iggy Pop song
Nayborehood Threat!
I Got a Right!
Yes also run like a villian.
@@mrjustinesquer Yes
Iggy for president 2024!
The most rebelouis rockstar ever along with Jim morrison,The godfather of punk rock
I saw Iggy Pop in London a few years ago. He played about 3 songs off his solumn, introspective jazz album and went 'who wants to hear some stuff from the 70s' took off his shirt and went into nightcrawler. Cool as fuck.
Candy with Kate from the B-52’s was a song I’d play for my kids when they were toddlers. Who doesn’t like candy?!😂❤
Iggy, Bowie, Lou Reed and Patti Smith for me is the beginning of an era. Still listen to their music.
You nailed it. It really makes you wonder if it was the time period, setting, drugs, or a combination of those things that helped these artists become who they did.
He played a Vorta on Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Funny fact,i adore IGGY and DS9 too,but somehow i never noticed thet IG played a Vorta
I saw him as part of the Psychedelic Stooges in 1968 at 'Mothers' in Romeo, Michigan. Great show, and one I'll never forget. Iggy (James Osterberg) spent the night in jail following the show. BTW, I still live within 5 miles of the location of that show.
Iggy is Myth. Iggy is Legend.
He also performed backroom stage at Max's Kansas City in NYC where his real fame was made.
What a strange but loveable guy!
Iggy is the shit I am a big fanatical fan I want to play guitar without a shirt and be a misunderstanding misunderstood person. We will miss Iggy just like Bowie. Time is a weird thing, .but the music will still survive. It's eternal.
Was in the concert in Vilnius yesterday.
Lucky me,saw the Legend 👍👍👍
Great episode.
Very nice video thanks.
He also had a part in Star Trek Deep Space 9. Yet still rember8him getting boot out of radio interview. He was wacked and started wacking
That was great! Thank you! Iggy Rocks!!!!
Okay. The onstage scarification acknowledged. But the lack of a nod to Star Trek appearance? Check your resources.:)
Epic!
He deserves fame and fortune he busted his butt to get where hes at so i say Well Done Iggy it's your turn to shine you are a rock Icone and ive been listening to Iggy Pop since the early 70's up to today!
I saw Iggy in 1981 at the Pontiac Silverdome during the Tattoo You Tour, when he opened for the Rolling Stones. Of course he was from Michigan so this was his hometown crowd. He was wearing a tight black sweater-dress. After he danced around for about 3-4 songs, the dress worked it's way up higher and he wasn't wearing anything underneath, so you could see his "JUNK". As he was dancing and "swinging IT around" like a helicopter ("IT" was very large), and the acoustics there always sounded like crap, the crowd began to boo loudly and throw things at him. We stood on main floor (field level general admission) which had no seats, and we were pretty close to the stage. He played on for several more songs throughout the boos, dodging the items people were throwing and it was very getting scary, but he wouldn't stop playing for what seemed like a long time. I mean, people were throwing a lot of things, like a shower, and he was getting hit. Finally it got too scary and he gave up, left the stage. After a while they announced all of the stuff they collected from the stage that was thrown, which was a lot. Coins, batteries, lighters, perfume/cologne bottles, you name it. Then Santana came out next and blew everyone away, before the Stones played, when I was almost trampled!
amazing artist saw him live about 5 years ago and man was it good!!!!! prob best show i ever saw
Would think they would mentioned Snow day and The Crow: City of Angels with flims
I remember seeing Iggy on Countdown, an Australian Music tv show, late 70's?. In an interview with Molly Meldrum ( an iconic & much loved music guru, here in Australia ❤️). Iggy was so off his head!!!! My god, it was bizzarre & chaotic!!😲 At the time, I was turned off by the display, being in early teens. Never really been a Iggy fan,just not my taste, tho glad to hear that he is clean, and still has his passion for music🤘👍.
He's always turned me off Kym. Btw, are you a Melburnian? 🌲🕊️🇦🇺
I also saw the same episode? I was about 8 or 9? Iggy was off-chops mad as a cut snake bonkers I recall? Mayhem chaos & wildly entertaining lunacy ensued
Molly Meldrum played a clip of Iggy galivant pose & go batshit wearing a shiny white suit looking suitably sh*tfaced smashed, 'I'm Bored' I think?
Far from being turned off, my outrageously precocious enthusiasm for this brilliant madman was palpable, promptly went practically epileptic in my earnest attempts to imitate Iggy & his wildly entertaining gyrations & gurning visage.
I loved Iggy then & have ever since, Ron Asheton too, The Stooges kick arse.
But.. but but fair-dinkum gospel every syllable of this grotesque nostalgic rant is;
What sent me completely octopus-sh*t friggin' berzerk as a kid was in '75,
Molly puts the clip of 'Long Way to the Top' ! It was the crunching overdriven
mind-blowing skull-crushing riffs & chords Malcolm Young dished up.. holy f*ck!
wtf? it just blew my 6yo🤯brains out all over the joint like a mad womans' sh*t.
Was AC⚡DC rock n' roll guitar & music obsessed from that fateful episode #47.
Wholly focused driven & inspired by my hero RIP Malcolm Young 1953⚡2017.

@@soundhead6971 either in person or simply a clip of 'Im Bored'? melodrama no doubt ensued, this would have solved the conundrum.
Did not know James was so impressed by JimMorrison
LEGEND!
I'm Bored is one of the most brilliant songs ever!
Love the name...never heard him though..
Good to see him chill..
How can you do a story about Iggy Pop, and not once do you mention the Raw Power album???
Because it was the worst out of the 3... Ron Asheton is the real MVP better than James Williamson ;p
A true rock star yogi. My man!
Very insightful, thank you! 🕶
7:48. Berlin was actually the capital of East Germany at the time.
True, West Germany had Bonn, and East Berlin was the capital of East Germany.
So messed up I want cha here

@@fuuz642 u don’t wanna be my dog:(
@@nazgul5155 u confused bro.
bye
YEP! I fully agree I.. Google...Dat
I always hear this background song to these docs I like it.
I loved his cameo in Star Trek DS9.
Just love him,he’s so cool , I wish I could meet him,he is from my state.
Way way way underrated way way
Wow!
..'new values'..is the best true iggy record..where desperation and hope met each other..this program was excellent..well done..
The first time I saw him was in 1979 and I won't lie it changed my life. Only because I didn't want to have peanut butter smeared in me!
He also did the theme song for the repo man movie called repo man
Wait a second! He was Iggy Stooge for quite a while before he was ever called Iggy Pop!
Happy 75th Iggy!
They didn't mention also he had a recurring role in the TV show on Nickelodeon show Pete and Pete he played Mona's dad 🤟😎
You forgot his role in The Crow City Of Angels…. 🤷♂️
Genius.
A legend
iggy, berlin, bowie golden brown!!
Texture like sun
I find myself liking more and more of his stuff especially the newer stuff. Just reminds me of Alice Cooper. A nice guy all in all. Lots of rockers became assholes like axl rose. Granted he's very talented too, but just fell from grace. I'd rather hang out with Tommy Lee of Motley Crue.
Wooooooooo
If you search up "Rare stooges 1969 song" a short video should come up of them playing live which has a similar style to asthma attack.
❤️
Iggy is a God!
Living legend 🖤
Grew up in Michigan went to the grande every weekend, seen stooges and mc5, more time than I can remember, iggy was a wild motherfucker to say the least, but we loved it, I was lucky to grow up with all the great music grand funk seeger frost Alice cooper so many more, I'm old now but have great memories and stile ride a harley
Strange there was no mention of him exposing himself during performances.
Or of the legendary nude photo revealing his impressive dimensions.
@@laurabryannan Bowie's was bigger
It didn't look that big in The man who fell to earth. Just average size really.
@@annwhite2346 He meant bigger than Iggy's not biggest in the world
I just saw him 2 hours ago.
Looks like Stewart on mad TV
Iggy could be Anthony Kiedis father paused at 1:43 the resemblance I'm just saying.
What was the "Untold" part??
Maybe that his one leg was two inches shorter than the other. They really don’t mention that.
Iggy Rocks
This guy invented almost every genre we hear today and over the last 6 decades .
Leggenda Iggy Pop.
A trailer pk. King
I love their story so much. The story of Iggy Pop is one of a ture artist- the reason for being a human being. He is the pivot of amazing artists in music and film. And then... not every song nor every album is amazing, but man, they have songs that sneak into dreams, and will always touch us. but his punkness and reklessness really make his unique and an inspiration. He deserves everything and I wish he has a long life and stick around.
One thing for certain, Iggy is definitely going to heaven cause he sure did raise a lot of hell..
Iggy is .
Ig and The Stooges a regular at the Grande Ballroom Detroit, there almost as much as the House Band..The MC 5, .....................I Wanna Be Your Dog
Don’t forget his career was saved in the 80’s because of Alex Cox and his awesome cult movie Repo Man..
no not at all. that was the last thing he did before the break. the end of golden age.
@@hwb-zalpach really.. that was just what I understood by a interview he made here in Denmark 🇩🇰.. and probably because I really like Repo Man so I just thought it’s have some connections.. anyway if I wrong then I am wrong .. but both things rocks at Least right.. 😎
@@bacht4799 i totally love the movie, and the song. but it has nothing to do with saving any carrier. it was the end of his best part of carrier. then was a break, and then was second half of carrier, 1986-today.
it is iggy stooge 67-74, iggy pop 77-83, and post pop depression 86- today.
i myself was totally fortunate to see em lots of times during the reunion years with ashetons, and it was fantastic.
@@bacht4799 yeah that was the last thing he recorded with bassist mike page, old mule skinner/fire engine/warrior tribe " and repo men, all 83 around same time. great music. and a great way out, to end it.
after that, all the concepts of what he was doing changed drastically. it was all fine, just something totally different.
@@hwb-zalpach alright thanks for telling me about that because I didn’t know.. I a little after everything because I don’t have the energy to follow through and such but I so happy too know I not the only one loving that movie.. ok one of our most interested directors from Denmark 🇩🇰 Nicolas Winding Refn loves that movie too so that’s awesome .. but anyway it’s great to learn some new stuff now and then 😊😎
He looks like he has American native in his background.
Buffet St. Marie said that about herself her whole career. Lies.
His trailer park home had a master bedroom? Well, f*ck me.
🙏
Iggy. Bowie. Elton. Debbie. Freddy.
I didnt have parents but fuck did they raise me.

Iggy claims he was a golf loving trailer trasher. You don't get many of those types here in Michigan. That's sort of like trying to find a tennis loving gangster rapper.
Oh that's sad
Wasent he the King of Punk? Don’t know about rock
Jacob, you're still a son of Michigan.
I recall the cry baby movie
"flawless career" please do a youtube on a band you know at least a tiny bit about ...OK?
Nothing new here
“Flawless career”???? The Stooges had a flawed career in nearly every sense of the term. Luckily they were so far ahead of their time, many of their fans eventually caught up with them, long after their self-destruction
Man, the things I'd do to do mdma with 1970s iggy pop 😂😂
Kill city great album
