It's Too Much For Me |The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog (1969) |Vocal Coach Reacts

[@dannjp75]

This song was decades before its time❤❤❤❤

[@pete3883]

Not at all, 60's.

[@Roh_Echt]

This is very early Punk; in my book. This definitely influenced so many others.

[@F28aj]

The term is proto punk and the stooges and mc5 where at the forefront

[@ScottHindle-qv6mq]

Godfather of punk rock.

[@longago-igo]

Loved Iggy and the Stooges back when they were just getting started. At a small venue show in Detroit, back in the 70s, he crawled through the audience (we were sitting on the floor) and at one point he was singing at me with his nose 2 inches from mine. Quite powerful after seeing him masochistically thrash himself on the stage. Another time, at a proper auditorium, he crawled through the audience across the top of the seat backs. My friend was a night doorman at the apartment building he lived in Ann Arbor. He didn’t especially like their music, but liked getting high with him, so gave me the copy of their first album that Iggy gave him.

[@8ftMan]

When he slows down, he has a beautiful baritone voice. I'd recommend the album/the song 'Avenue B.'

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Saw Iggy in 1990 and he was great. Intense perfomance and he shook my hand twice as you could get right up to the stage. Iggy is the real deal, he appreciates his fans.

[@decairn]

1969 - revolutionary music for the time, and so were the stage antics. Punk before the term punk was born, and in the middle of peace and love period. Similar divergence and impact long term as Hendrix had.

[@moorspede]

I loved blaring this out and "singing" with it when I was a young adult, it was so cathartic.

[@aliwantizu]

He's from Michigan (like me, lol!) He was born in northern Michigan, but grew up mostly in southeastern Michigan in the city of Ypsilanti (home of Eastern Michigan University) which is located next to Ann Arbor. He later moved to Ann Arbor, home of The University of Michigan. He's mostly considered to be "from Detroit" as most recognize the city, but that also is where he and The Stooges really put it all together (they actually formed in Chicago, Illinois however.) Lust For Life is an incredible song and likely his best known, although his biggest hit is a song called Candy where he sang a duet with Kate Pierson of The B-52s. Siouxsie Sioux and The Banshees covered his song The Passenger, and David Bowie had a hit with his song China Girl. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Its a classic love song. Reminds me of Bach and Mozart. And Sinatra.

[@dampersand]

I was a couple decades late to this song and heard the Sonic Youth cover first. Both versions are great!

[@mrtveye6682]

Oh, a Sonic Youth reaction would be great - in general, not to that cover version. They where such an unique and influential band.

[@johnprice6066]

The Stooges and the MC5 were some of the earliest American Punk bands. There were others in the Garage Rock scene of the '60s, but these two had the most direct and sustained impact on later bands. Please take the time to check out the MC5. Rob Tyner was an incredible front man. And again, congratulations on your album release! 😊

[@gravibusgabe]

You forgot The Sonics.

[@johnprice6066]

@@gravibusgabe I would never! The Sonics are awesome, but I included them as a part of the Garage scene.

[@F28aj]

Velvet Underground have to be included when talking about bands that influenced punk even though they’re musically very different

[@F28aj]

@@gravibusgabenobody in the US cared about the sonics.

[@uthurpendragun8416]

Later when “Punk” was coined, they hated that label. They were playing Rock n Roll/ their music, the way they wanted to play it. That’s it.

[@S0ldeed]

B-52s last week, and Stooges now. Must be time to do Candy 😁

[@bert0522]

Our band Pace did this and 1969 back in 1970-71. We loved to play it and people enjoyed to hearing it. Jim

[@mrtveye6682]

Two things should be noted here: First of, the studio-version is pretty tame compared to their live-performances, and second, this was 1969, at the end of the 60s/love&peace-movement, several years before Punk became a thing (there wouldn't probably even be Punk without The Stooges, MC5 and a very few others). For that time, it was WILD.

[@jimgeorge9476]

My personal opinion is punk started percolating in 1966 when the Kinks released I'm Not Like Everybody Else.

[@mrtveye6682]

@@jimgeorge9476 Yes, the Kinks have been a big influence - not only but esp. on the first British Punk bands - for sure. The Sonics would be another example of those Punk predecessors.

[@geepike]

Re: the pretty tame part, 100%! If you were to jump into this song on the verse it could easily be the Rolling Stones, despite how different the two bands were in every other instance.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Listen to a song like "Candy" or "Shades". He has a amazing lower register to his voice and can do beautiful songs.

[@lachevious]

The ballad of the bottoms ❤️❤️❤️ my heart!

[@WolfeRavenwood]

Good old Iggy, may he last some years more.

[@Oneanddone14]

Great tune. On the soundtrack of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels."

[@lovewalruss]

Brilliant song and guitar. Like your reaction

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Yeah I've seen him in concert around 1981 in a small venue in my hometown and he didn't really do anything as shocking as I've actually seen footage of before, but it was pretty mind-blowing. About the time he was leaning backwards and his long hair was just soaked with sweat from all the physical exertion, it makes my back hurt to even think about it, he was bending over backwards so far that the bottom of his hair was touching the stage and he was yelling and singing with support the whole time and the band was just very garage band and intense and all that kind of thing. High energy which of course really resonated with me as somebody that was 19 years old and starting to play in local bands. But to be fair, you've got to check out some of his stuff from say, his later album, The Idiot. It's still definitely Punk but it actually has some pop influences in it. And these are such memorable songs if you let them get under your skin. Lust For Life has actually been used in three television commercials over the years that I can recall right off the top of my head, including for a cruise line and also for I think a Ford Explorer or something. But of course they chop it up and take out most of the lyrics because they wouldn't be appropriate. But they are actually fantastic lyrics I think. Lust For Life The Passenger Neighborhood Threat Sweet Sixteen

[@calista910]

I’m 21 and always loved his songs he’s my favorite punk rocker ever he and Alice cooper and blondie are friends

[@AW11-e4h]

Straight up Punk 🤘

[@birdec765]

Bowie used to cover this live. Glass Spider version is very 80s.

[@amanda.2416]

Wow, good to know!

[@duncansolloway2497]

saw him play this a few months ago headlining an outdoor festival at age73-he still killed it and yes still does not own a shirt

[@theresabinienda3351]

I saw Iggy in the mid 70s and walked away feeling like I just saw real rock and roll. There wasn’t any pretense. Just unadulterated rock and roll. David Bowie saw how unique Iggy was and collaborated with him. Iggy evolved but kept firmly rooted to the basics. Iggy defines rock and roll.

[@jerryjanski551]

More Iggy, please. With AND without the stooges. The next logical step for you would be the song Candy. It's a duet with Kate from The B-52's. The greatest rock duet EVER in my book.

[@Effin_the_Chat]

If I remember right, Iggy said his wild gesticulations and sometimes self-harmful antics were his way of improvising with his body the way a jazz musician improvises with his music.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Possibly the earliest proto Punk. Try "Search and Destroy" that song is awesome!

[@speaktoranjit]

No fun, 1970, Gimme Danger .... And as some people have said. When this arrived it was like a nuclear bomb dropping

[@pillmuncher67]

Iggy, Lou, and David. The unholy trinity of Rock.

[@calista910]

Sure is I wish two of em were still alive so I could be their groupie

[@oscararzate7956]

Cómo me encanta la música retro gracias por llevarnos a esas épocas fantásticas mi H.Prrj❤ bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀

[@thepostapocalyptictrio4762]

Thank you 🎉🎉

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

It might not sound so rough by todays standards but when this came out it in '69 it was the polar opposite of the hippy culture wich was in full swing. The Stooges just trampled the hippies flowers.

[@dannymoore6886]

Punk before punk was punk.

[@gotham61]

Best part is the 604 piano quarter notes of E5 played by John Cale. There are a couple of hilarious piano part covers of this song on KZbin

[@JBS30000]

His song "Home" (1990) is pretty good.

[@NickKaminski1980]

Hes a narural baritone which is quite evident in his solo work. However, Iggy has said in interviews that he had to sing higher with the Stooges to seperate from the rest of the band.

[@jurgenschmidt2759]

If you want to watch some more Proto-Punk, please try the Monks with tracks like "Complication", "I hate you" or "The Monk Chant" back in 1966 - a very special experience

[@dylandenney3980]

His vocals were much more tame on this album. The next 2 they got more intense

[@richie6921]

This is one of the songs that's played in one of them films just after they robbed a bank or something, and they're all taking drugs and stuff. If I was a director i would definitely use this one

[@jimwiater2867]

If you ever seen the Nicoloden TV show Pete and Pete. Iggy was the school bus driver

[@billn7183]

Interestingly Iggy did some acting as well. He was in "Snow Day " , maybe other movies ?

[@longago-igo]

The Martin Scorsese film The Color of Money (1986) with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise.

[@estuardomorales8137]

The Stooges! Sounds fun!

[@jacobjenn1]

I’d say TV Eye is a better representation of his wild vocals

[@alpine1600s]

This song was featured in Dogtown and Z-boys, the documentary, not the movie, and also more recently in Cruella.

[@dj-um7el]

For vocals, she definitely needs to react to Search And Destroy and I Need Somebody.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Iggy is a versatile singer, this is his beginnings of his career with The Stooges, who were basically teenagers expressing their disagreement with society, not only the conservative part, but also the hippy movement. They managed to record 3 very different albums and then disbanded and Iggy started his solo career thanks to Bowie, who channeled Iggy's energy and aggressiveness through a more polite sound, giving him the opportunity to open to other registers. In some way this provocative song (then) sounds naive today, even Iggy's singing in it sounds kind of innocent... I'm sure he knew what he was doing, he wasn't very serious about it, there are other songs he sang with more depth

[@amanda.2416]

You can also listen to Iggy's China Girl, it has so much more sentiment, I Wanna Be Your Dog it's a more punk, raw song

[@revpgesqredux]

🎉🎉🎉 he is the real deal. Beth should like him... She is DL bold ... maybe not as bold as Iggy... But maybe...

[@PhalseProfit13]

Well done doing the Stooges

[@Treeezzz]

Epic song on the lock stock soundtrack

[@3easypayments202]

The Godfather of Punk.

[@vicvega9194]

The Godfather of Punk

[@JimmyStrummer]

This song is amazing and The Stooges were legendary, but for a vocal analysis I probably would’ve gone with “Search And Destroy” - Iggy’s voice runs the gamut a bit more in that song and it better captures the frenetic chaos The Stooges were known for.

[@peterdonald8022]

l am a fan of lggy Pop musically. He often does Festivals in Australia over Southern Summer. He can be polarising, but is also against racism and violence and in that sense, a bit of a political animal.

[@jenn288]

Listen to “Gardenia” georgous song, and him in his 70’s

[@ejeamon]

its a cowbell

[@PepeA79th]

Toss a jar of peanut butter on stage and watch him go wild. Only Iggy!

[@rafehr1378]

Iggy & The Stooges. Unbelievable act. On stage, anything could happen. Even stabbed himself on stage or fighting.

[@Joiny07]

Iggy Pop never spared his body throughout his life. It was not uncommon for him to be carried off the stage covered in blood. If you imagine that sometime between 76 and 78 he shared an apartment with David Bowie in Berlin, where he wrote The Passenger for him, hardly anyone can imagine today that Iggy Pop Bowie survived. Even in the 90s, he couldn't stop scratching his chest to show that there was something alive between his legs.

[@1973larryrichardson]

My voice has changed dramatically over the years. I used to be a baritone/ lower register tenor. Now I can’t even hit some of the notes I used to in falsetto. Is there a way back? I’m very much a bass singer now and want to increase my range.

[@davidcurley6058]

You should check out search in destroy it’s crazy how he sings in that

[@RickHikakin-jj7vu]

God father of Punk.!Iggy

[@jude999]

A punk Jim Morrison. His pants and stage antics are exactly like Jim

[@jeremeskornicka3054]

Fun fact: Iggy is actually GOD

[@louismarzullo1190]

As if you weren't already the coolest KZbin music reactor out there... 😊

[@MichaelCosta-ds1jg]

He used to cut himself with razors during live giggs

[@carlomercorio1250]

He stabbed himself on stage a few times; invented stage diving by flinging himself into the audience to, erm, interact with girls or fight 135kg bikers. What an original maniac

[@VIDSTORAGE]

I think David Bowie went from normal to being weird because of Iggy's crazy careless style influenced him a bit much

[@hmldjr]

This was the only music of this period. Everything was swarmy

[@jaumepiquebernaus1853]

Iggy Pop !!! La Iguana de Detroit !!!

[@jaumepiquebernaus1853]

[@sirperybLakeney]

Iggy's vocal style wasn't anywhere near fully developed on this record. You should hear him on somethimng off Fun House. Maybe 'Down on the Street'?

[@ivanjose8522]

Hello! I would like to suggest that you react to Trouble by Lindsey Buckingham 😊

[@carolmartin4413]

Aptly named.

[@Robert-yk3wp]

Wow you pick him apart, smoking, stage jumping being iggy. He loved his life and I love his music

[@Paulaaaplush]

May you react to a 80's Iggy Pop songs?

Review The bouncing souls

[@MattMonk]

Does not being nice mean cutting himself with broken bottles?

[@dailyflash]

The Stooges were 100% real, if that makes sense.

[@BomageMinimart]

Iggy Pop wasn't GG Allin. And altho this is The Stooges most famous song, it isn't their best IMO. You should check out Dirt if you wanna hear some real emotional delivery (ETA - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3bOZKCZo8appdk ). Fun House is an all-around amazing album; one of my top 10 rock albums of all time.

Can you please react to rap god by Eminem its is the fastest rap ever ❤

Let`s face it. Iggy stinks.
