Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

This week we’re discussing the legendary Stooges. This band needs very little introduction, but we will say they’re considered one of the greats for good reason. Although the Stooges did not receive much success during their initial run in the early 70s, their legacy—in addition to the lengthy and successful solo career of frontman Iggy Pop—continues to influence a laundry list of musicians and fans. They reunited in the early 00s with Minutemen and fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt. However, after the deaths of founding members Ron and Scott Asheton, the Stooges finally called it quits for good. Turn this one up loud—these guys are one of a kind.Closing track: “Gimme Danger” from Raw Power (1973)Check out our episode playlists on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherincMike’s Picks:Fun House (1970) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteThe Weirdness (2007) — Worst AlbumAlex’s Picks:Raw Power (1973) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteThe Weirdness (2007) — Worst AlbumAlbums we discussed this episode…The Stooges (1969)Fun House (1970)Raw Power (1973)The Weirdness (2007)Ready to Die (2013)Follow Mike on Instagram @popejesseventura for show updates and @pandermonkey for original musicFollow Alex on Instagram @motherpuncher

Welcome to another Dropped Culture Podcast After Dark episode all about the greatest rock and roll band of all time "The Stooges" Iggy Pop (vocals), Ron Asheton (guitar,bass), Scott Asheton (drums), Dave Alexander (bass), and later additions James Williamson (guitar), Steve Mackay (saxophone). Often cited as the Godfathers of Punk, The Stooges were ahead of their time and are still light years away from any band that has come since. Songs like "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "Down on the Street" and "Search and Destroy" propelled them into legendary status. The world was never the same after August 5th 1969. Thank God for The Stooges because without them we wouldn't be who we are today! Dan, Tyson and Brock Dive deep into their first 3 albums track by track while recounting their earliest experiences with the band and feelings about what they mean to them. Make sure you have your copies of the records ready because after this podcast you will want them on your stereo full blast and pissing off the neighbors again!

伊基•波普被认为是朋克音乐的教父,因为任何一支现在的或是过去的朋克乐队,都曾经从他在60年代末70年代初所建立的乐队Stooges那里有所借鉴和启发。 原名詹姆斯•纽威尔•奥斯特伯格(James Newell Osterberg )的伊基•波普,出生于1947年。出于对摇滚乐的喜爱,他开始学习打鼓,并且在60年代初成立了他的第一支乐队Iguanas。在滚石公司波普迷上了布鲁斯,并且自创了一种和布鲁斯相近的音乐风格,取名Prime Movers。1965年,他高中毕业后进入在密歇根大学学习,没多久就前往芝加哥,给一些蓝调乐手伴奏。不过他的心仍然在摇滚乐上。回到Ann Arbor一段时间后,他决定成立一个摇滚乐队,不过这一次他不再是鼓手,而是走到了台前,67年他与高中时候的旧友、吉他手罗恩•艾希顿(Ron Asheton)兄弟,以及贝司手戴夫•亚历山大(Dave Alexander)成立了Psychedelic Stooges乐队,虽然他们花了好一段时间才彼此默契起来,但是很快就成了当地的明星乐队。不久乐队将名字缩短为Stooges,而奥斯特伯格也把艺名改为伊基•波普。Elektra唱片公司于68年和这支乐队签约,于69年为他们发行了与乐队同名的专辑,随后在70年发行了第二张专辑《Fun House》。虽然这两张专辑销量极差,却仍旧成为摇滚乐的经典教科书,甚至被视作朋克摇滚的开山之作。由于大众对他们不怎么感冒,而且乐队成员开始染上毒瘾,唱片公司与71年和他们解约,同年乐队也解散了。随后乐队的歌迷大卫•鲍伊(David Bowie)找到了波普,鼓励他继续演唱事业,于是波普与吉他手詹姆斯•威廉姆森(James Williamson)为伴,签下了Mainman管理公司,并定居与英格兰,最终他们再次艾希顿兄弟重组乐队。   在和哥伦比亚公司签约后,乐队希望能够沿着鲍伊的足迹,在商业上有所突破,Stooges乐队谱写了又一首朋克经典——《Raw Power》。到了74年底,波普和乐队的大部分成员再次染上毒瘾,他们的星光随即黯淡下去,乐队再度解体。波普和威廉姆森分道扬镳。戒毒期间,波普得到了鲍伊的大力支持,76年末两人一同迁往柏林,波普在他的帮助下,与RCA公司签下合同。对欧洲电子摇滚兴趣颇浓的大卫利用波普的音乐天赋,在专辑《The Idiot》和《Lust for Life》中进行了这方面的探索,两张专辑销量都不错,鲍伊也以键盘手的身份加入波普的巡演计划中,波普的巡演现场版唱片《TV Eye(1977 Live)》发行后,他离开了鲍伊,自己单飞。与另一家公司Arista签约后,波普与威廉姆森一起先后制作《New Values》、《Soldier》、《Party》和《Zombie》等专辑。82以后波普离开了公众的视线,直到86年才再次复出。他签下A&M公司,并立刻投入由鲍伊参与制作的唱片《Blah Blah Blah》中。88年他开始转向硬摇滚,联合了前性手枪乐队吉他手史蒂夫•琼斯(Steve Jones)和布瑞克(Brick),制作出他的第一张美国金唱片专辑《Candy》。   就像波普在70年代被朋克乐队所仰视一样,历史在90年代重演了。Stooges乐队在西雅图大受欢迎,很多的乐队开始翻唱Stooges的歌曲。93年波普灌制了一张单曲碟《American Caesar》,虽然他尽力重现昔日的辉煌,但是唱片并未获得好评。倒是他为电影《猜火车》(Trainspotting)所创作的原声碟《Lust for Life》大受欢迎。接下来的10年波普几乎把精力全部投入到了电影事业。当所有的新生摇滚乐队在倾听Stooges的音乐时,波普开始回顾乐队的传奇故事,97年他独自录制了新版本的《Raw Power》,同时又出版了一本和流行音乐有关的书《Please Kill Me: The Oral History of Punk》,再一次回顾了Stooges的音乐生涯。99年对于波普是忙碌的一年,他又是出演音乐剧,又是出新单曲碟,但是他更加“细腻”的音乐风格则体现在他2001年的新作品《Beat Em Up》之中。   90年代波普曾许下重组Stooges的诺言,不过直到2003年这个诺言才实现。罗恩•艾希顿和斯考特•艾希顿(Scott Asheton)从国外归来,创作并录制了四首音乐作品,收录在专辑《Skull Ring》中。2004年,波普参与了Jim Jarmusch的专辑《Coffee and Cigarettes》的制作。05年一月Pop又制作了Penetration系列,接着是7月份的《A Million in Prizes: The Anthology》。

Today Detroit is down for the count, but as Steve Miller reveals inDetroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Rock ‘n’ Roll in America’s Loudest City (Da Capo Press, 2013), his comprehensive oral history of the city’s rock scene, the Motor City’s musicians never gave up the fight. Based on dozens of interviews with veteran promoters, leading musicians, and Uberfans, Miller’s insightful conversations trace the evolution of the city’s scene from its blues-rock beginnings through its current rock-rap incarnations. Along the way Miller demonstrates that while Detroit’s rock community never got the respect it deserved from its New York and Los Angeles counterparts, no metropolis did more to make American rock music loud, heavy, and primal. Miller begins his saga at the legendary Grande Ballroom, the now crumbling 1960s mecca for live rock, which hosted superstar acts like the Who and Janis Joplin and served as the springboard for two seminal Detroit acts, the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges. By the early 1970s, Detroit was well on the way to becoming Rock City, USA. It played host to the Goose Lake Festival, a massively successful gathering that rivaled Woodstock. It was home to Creem, the country’s best rock magazine. It incubated the careers of Bob Seger and Ted Nugent, performers who would become two of America’s biggest arena rock acts in the mid-1970s. Miller then expertly navigates the city’s obscure punk scene of the 1980s. Many of the acts will be unfamiliar to readers, but Miller’s own experiences as a musician who played in a Michigan-based punk band during these years give these pages a rawness and immediacy that many such accounts lack. Miller closes with eye-opening perspectives on the city’s current scene by garage rock revivalist Jack White and America’s pariahs of rap, the Insane Clown Posse. One sad postscript to this interview: Iggy and the Stooges co-founder and drummer Scott Asheton died on 15 March 2014 at the age of 64. RIP.   Learn more about your ad choices.
