I'VE NOTHING BUT MY NAME - Iggy Pop in Conversation With Thurston Moore (Episode 2)

[@ksteiger]

He's one of the only rock stars who has gotten more lucid and coherent as time goes on, lol....

[@tonym994]

if they turn it way up to 'SONIC' level for a few minutes it'd be gold! COLD METAL.

[@LordKreiden]

Your so right Ken !

[@galetinm]

He was almost always lucid in interviews. There was always a distinction between Iggy on stage and in interviews.

[@LordKreiden]

marko galetin Except in French interviews lol 😀

[@harveyplantharvester1502]

He gave up the drugs then he quit eating animal corpses & became vegan because of his love for animals. Lots of exercising and brilliant mind to begin with, of course.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

I think Jim will always be relevant because he never stops being curious or hungry. He just needs more, and that fuels his brilliance.

[@neilmccormick2064]

Well put, totally agree, he's always doing or saying something interesting, insightful and worthy of attention. Long live Iggy Pop .

[@mosttypesofmusic7502]

Two of my favourite dudes..I literally ran into Thurston Moore at the now legendary ATP Festival in 2006.He was coming out of the sports bar as I went in.He bumped into me and I said "sorry dude"he looked at me and said"no worries"and that was my moment with him.Iggy And The Stooges played that night and they were off the chain.As I believe it was the first time they played together for years.Plus Sonic Youth played as well.That was a great weekend of music..

[@EMVelez]

Too bad Thurston is a known perv who dated teenage girls as an adult and while married with kids. Used to love him but later met someone in LA who knew way too much about the “other” Thurston and his creepy proclivities. I’ve never been able to look at him the same way again. Sonic Youth was my favorite band growing up. Really ruined it for me.

[@hv1225]

4:46 The look on Iggy´s face says it all.

[@Alun49]

The so called "Sacred Triangle" of Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop has had a remarkable impact on music. The Velvet Underground inspired both Bowie and Pop and Bowie repaid his debt to both Reed and Pop through producing albums for them and raising their profile. Lou Reed however tended to come across in interviews as just plane difficult. Bowie relaxed post drug issues and become very funny and entertaining. But Iggy? I have to say, he would be the one I would most like to sit down and chat with over a drink. He seems so humble, intelligent and plain genuine. He is the one everybody thought would die the first yet he outlived both of them and is still producing great music. I hope he keeps going and reaches a century!

[@LorcaLoca]

The velvet underground had other members you know..

[@revwahfair]

Met Iggy in 1978 in Detroit when he played 7 nights. It's funny cuz when Bowie was in town they pulled up in front of the bar & sat there, never to enter. 2 months later Iggster played 7 nights at our punk bar, Bookies Club 870.

[@chancethadood]

i would like to see a conversation between iggy and john cale

[@mylittlewhatnow]

Iggy and Thurston NEED to cut an album man!

[@powellpressburger5507]

God, you are a waste of time! Give us a link of a good interview then, with a worthwhile artist - according to you.

[@martinbramah2224]

Why are you here?

[@powellpressburger5507]

That's true - the music is a total waste of time. Liked the interview half of it.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

I enjoyed Iggy's childlike approach but Thurston's pretentiousness always plants a bad seed.

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

one would think he gets modalities by now ... since he started it off he betta hold it down.

[@neal8759]

I can listen to Iggy talk for hours

[@teresaclaudiacampana6407]

Iggy is like an old lion.

[@calistavicente-bradley4739]

A sexy lion, this pussy is purring for him now meow 😻

[@lapinbeau]

Don't you two know anything about Iggy!? He's not a lion. He's a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm!

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Someone stole my 1965 Fender lefty Jazzmaster and I thank them for doing so to this day.

[@graphicbrew]

That Serge reggae album is killer! A must listen.

[@MoncoField]

Wow, the haters dont know what they're missing. Those jams were excellent, obviously you guys are not familiar with Thurston' style of music. These two would make an amazing album together with even more instruments/musicians

[@philipadami4039]

i reckon the people with negative comments should go and do something else with their lives. If you don't like it, stop watching! It's not like TV in the 80s in Melbourne, Australia where there were only 5 stations and no internet. Iggy Stooge changed my life for the better in the mid 80s as a discontented 13 year old. Showed me there was something other than the top 40.

[@judegraham463]

absolutely stunning musicianship.

[@ChristopherTrott]

I like how well spoken Iggy is. He seems thoughtful in his responses. He seems to have a large vocabulary

[@woolseyallen1048]

That's what I found so interesting about him.

[@revwahfair]

Iggy's iq is above 120.

[@christowner7658]

I could have watched these guys hanging and jamming for hours

[@neilmccormick2064]

Iggy's fckin hilarious. Love him , he's infinitely interesting, always worth listening to musically and in conversation.

[@CayleBrekka]

That jam at 10:07 I would buy if it was a record. I loved that song. I think it was fantastic.

[@matiasss550]

what a jamming !!!! that was so honest! just having fun and playing whatever, not caring about the result or the ego or the bullshit. That what jamming really is.

[@tisroc100]

Iggy and thurston are fucking with some grave vibes for grave times man

[@EdHammerbeck]

I didn't know this is what I needed in quarantine, but it so much is.

[@tex2163]

Damn, Iggy looks like a little kid next to Thurston.

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Great to see Jim / "Iggy" still powering on nowadays @ 72!

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Iggy Pop could do a Sinatra Album and it would sell.

[@martinbramah2224]

I'd rather see him do something stranger. I'm sure he could do a good job on some Sinatra tunes, but that'd feel too pedestrian - like something Rod Stewart would do (but Rod would probably make a shit-ton of $$$ from it!). Maybe an album working w/ Bill Callahan, doing Nat King Cole or something???

[@CarlosMurgueitio]

He kind of did in his French songs albums. He covers a Sinatra song in one of them, called "Only the Lonely". It's amazing.

[@billteneyck3766]

I saw him briefly sing “The Shadow of Your Smile” at the Birmingham Palladium

[@jesscooney8443]

Tom waits by iggy

[@PAULLONDEN]

*@winstoneism* Although still a mesmerising performer , (when he's performing his pre 80's material). his "record sales" reflect his questionable post 80's output.... He could do a Sinatra , ( if he keeps his shirt on) , it would hardly sell. Iggy's main earnings come from his steady selling early catalogue (yet another Raw Power remix ?) live performances and merchandising.

[@joseca7509]

I want to read those archives in which Iggy details how the idiot and lust for life were made so bad!

[@raefinoh1172]

Yes!! I need to know what equipment was used on the idiot

[@neutralopinion13]

The part where he mentions Neil Young and Tom Waits is so fucking funny

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

I knew there would be comments about the jam. Guys, they were talking about more avant garde and noisy stuff throughout the interview with a focus on mesmerizing chanting and very un- rock type material, is it any wonder they played something like that? I've seen both men rock, this was a rare opportunity to see these guys go into a cosmic trance, which was exactly the right choice for this intimate setting. All the many times I've done the same with guests in my own living room I was thinking of mainly these two artists (among others) and to see it happen, with these guys, was one of those things I needed to see happen before I die. It felt like a punk rock visit to Timothy Leary or Ken Keseys house. Or an average Sunday afternoon smoking pot at my house for that matter, but we just THINK we've turned into Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore. This was my average everyday spirit quest come to life. Very cool, and what these guys share the most in their common vision, despite the fact most people would think of the rocking aspects. This and the noise like L.A. Blues which was mentioned. Besides, it would have been foolish to try to do allot of changes in a jam like this, or JUST covering songs or playing the blues or something would be a severely missed opportunity to get at the goods. ..and for these guys, and for myself THAT is the goods...whether its quiet and gentle like this or loud and repetitive like the end of "Ann" ("the dance of romance") if you've never done this, played music and gone into kind of a daydream/trance then you can't really understand, I think that's as much the heart of rock music as the Pete Townsend thing, playing your guitar in your room like you're on a stage and you're performing some kind of Symphony of feedback to some invisible audience. Everybody who truly loves rock and roll starts this way, and it never leaves them. That's the true rock and roll, everything else is great, but it's just window dressing for that wild noise.

[@kevinronald4215]

I must listen to what this man has to say. Thanks Creator for Mr. Pop. And Mr Moore too.

[@judyneville4812]

A true ARTIST 💜 love his recent collaboration with Underworld... been into Pop for decades.. I speak fluent French and would give him lessons anytime! The jam was cool and very real

[@1251wire]

BBW on the side. I dig her.

[@kurdtacolbain731]

Maybe it was Gardenia

[@benjaminhooper6076]

Honestly thurston would have been a great stooges guitarist, that’d be interesting to see

[@kevinfrancis6033]

How freakn cool is Iggy...Thurston is a great man to do the interview too.....love this !!

[@judyneville4812]

I would love to have been hanging out and jamming and chilling with them in Iggy's cool room even just hanging back to listen or sweetly going to make them a cuppa and roll a joint.. that jam had something!

[@gabrielanecotera7362]

Eu sou Muito felice brigado Iggy Pop !!! Geniaaal !❤️

[@Rikitocker]

Iggy's thinking ... "what the fuck is he playing? I can't do shit with this crap ..."

[@Admiralex91]

That's too funny lol :P Everyone who had to improvise over some unfamiliar guitar player knows that feel.

[@witchjuan4965]

Jacky J Jones totally disagree.....thurston isn't a guitar player- he's a guitar alchemist. One day you will come around. I will leave a light on for you. Kiss.

[@Imsuchaliar]

He has been into Sonic Youth since the 80s though, so he knows what Thurston's about.

[@Revolutionarybum1]

Have to strongly agree with brian phillip's comment❗Anyone remember Dim Stars❓Thurston and the great Richard Hell... "All my Witches come True" great collaboration.

[@Abdulhakeembennette]

That was a great great record.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

At Fox Theatre in Detroit he played most of The Idiot and Lust for Life. Thinking about it I saw Sonic Youth open for Stooges reunion show in Detroit in 2003.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Because Homme liked those and they were most greatest and 1st Post-Stooges works. He stated in Interview that Homme did not want to play any of Ron's work. This "Post Pop Depression is closer to Berlin Albums that say Zombie Birdhouse or Skull Ring, which are great underrated works themselves. But hey, is is all in Interview and Depression Tour was great at Fox Theatre, which is close to old Grande Ballroom. He still calls Detroit his "Hometown and only Live works were recorded in Detroit Area. The first Stooges Album cover is why I have a Brown Reed Leather Jacket. Made in Detroit.

[@psta666]

Don't worry Iggy. There is an angel for you...

[@CEddy10165]

In gratitude. Great session.

[@annecaro.3956]

my way sung by Sinatra is also a copy of the French original "Comme d'habitude" which could have been added, but probably not for cheap...Claude François was fierce in the business, and now his descendants . You did great with les feuilles mortes, Iggy ! Thank you for liking Houellebecq ! Good tastes ! ;)

[@adamfindlay7091]

iggy's hut!he could have some lion cubs running around there...i almost here a rubber soul vibe to what thurston is playing. INterview, very laid back. Iggy, always refreshingly honest. Lookout! now, i hear a sonic youth vibe.

[@jlouis4407]

Two of my favorite people

[@brannonmcclure6970]

Some of the greatest bands don't exist yet. But it is potential energy.

[@poldercannabisolieteam2874]

Sort of Wire plus Velvet Underground plus Iggy Pop thing. Nice.

[@robertcubinelli4961]

Had fun with this video. 2 greatest together...total symbiosis!

[@thedoc1210]

I would buy an Iggy Pop sings Sinatra, Crosby et al, Ig has a brilliant voice

[@benben-sl7hi]

I don’t own a Sinatra album. If Iggy did a Sinatra album I would buy it. Twice!!!✌🏻

[@frauleinmona]

Look at how huge Thurston looks next to Iggy. It reminded me how small in stature Iggy Pop really is.

[@revwahfair]

he's only 5 foot 1.

[@agostocobain2729]

The music was killer

[@embunchofnumbers]

The reggae Serge Gainsbourg album is probably Aux armes et cætera

[@zetetick395]

Thurstons got his skull-top in the fucking troposphere! ....Jeezuss wept!

[@jayspeck9007]

Id buy an album of this stuff, dark!

[@joshlane6192]

its almost as if the same 20 people who disliked the first episode made it there point to dislike every single one of them.

[@vanyapivovarov]

More jam

[@GyntherMeyer]

What's the track they're playing towards the end of the video?

[@beniceorbegone]

David Bowie owed so much to Iggy, you can here it in Berlin and Christ.

[@davidkralj4922]

Iggy owe Bowie. Bowie save his life and save iggy music.

[@lindacensi2750]

I bet he can be great in singing Sinatra , tones are good

[@wills242]

I grew up busting my ass to play those high notes with strict technique so they wouldn't like buzz or mute, but he just rubbed those sounds against Iggy's moans and it won me over i guess

[@Cassius3745]

No they dont.

[@strokebomb101]

iggys saying like something better , something better desperate

[@startervisions]

Iggy's new band debuted their band on the Colbert Show, that's dope

[@vincegedeon6583]

Iggy seems like amazing guy

[@bnlang898]

Pop on Houellebecq. Touche

[@MarceloKuroi]

What about a Iggy & Thurston album?

[@domdom9496]

9:54 good riff,

[@CrimeSchool138]

Started like Gimme Danger

[@Admiralex91]

They jam so simple. Not even the slightest try to create a chorus on another key. Thurston plays it safe^^

[@patrickpalmarella3119]

you have Candy song. sell the writes to me.

[@doyoumind9356]

Seems happy

[@caseyeskridge]

GREAT STUFF

[@nicolaguaiti3627]

Iggy wow

[@juanpabloyavoski7470]

amazing

[@sicks6six]

(IF YOU READ THIS) . . .Mr Pop your 1977 album "the idiot" marked the break from the Ashton's (I think) A different sound and production, Bowie influenced that album you've said, but who inspired that album, what events made you pen the lyrics, I've heard you say you only have your memories, not many stooges fans had 16mm cine-cameras or reliable sound equipment so the early years are not very well documented (more the shame), if they can plug a micro-chip in to your brain and down-load the memories, sound and imagery, would you be up for that, even the stuff you have forgotten can be retrieved, Them nights passing out and waking up in places you have no idea of how you got there or what went down, all of it, warts and snots, be kind of interesting wouldn't it ?

[@harveyplantharvester1502]

This is what being vegan for many years (for the love of animals) giving up the drugs and exercising will do for you, folks! Of course Iggy had a brilliant mind to begin with....

[@pantherman74kd]

What's Iggy playing? What kind of percussion is that?

[@victormature344]

Irish

[@dmanntube]

It’s a bodhrán, an Irish drum

[@mati7029]

i love you

[@johnwrickel]

fan boy

[@logan4x6]

I'd consider that a nice record store if I had my own mural on the side of it.

[@Mateoenriqueleon]

Live jam was kind of awkward

[@beniceorbegone]

Thurston is rock star and I ain't but dude change it up once in a while!

[@tarsisbernardo9836]

Show

[@neroinc5998]

Rough trade can’t be that hip if they think those are a couple of battered old amps or that there’s any significance to jamming on a borrowed guitar

[@davidyoung8875]

these two are not in the same universe

[@leonakita]

Preliminaires' was good, ..Apres'...not so much

[@YruamaZepol]

that jam was horrible

[@YruamaZepol]

god that second jam was even more cringe lmfaooooooo

[@davidyoung8875]

Thurston moore absolutely sucks. I saw his band with Neil Young. They were horrible.

[@daveferguson3629]

worst guitar ever. that was a waste of Iggy's time.

[@matiasmoulin1442]

completely agree. Been a SY fan throughout my whole teens, but nowadays Thurstons music bores the s*** out of me. Sadly he's been stuck in the 90s. Good guy though.

[@gabrielanecotera7362]

Agregó desde Argentina mis respetos y admiración .Y muchas gracias Iggy pop !❤️🎵🤙👏👏

[@ekardnamable]

hell nah

[@ekardnamable]

iggy knows who thurston is, they played together in the early 80s. guitar was good and obv what ig wanted
