The Untold Truth Of Iggy Pop

[@DD-sr9xm]

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.

[@willm5032]

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.

[@NewarkBay357]

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 KZbin. It may be available to KZbin 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 KZbin. 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.

[@KenG-c9z]

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!

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.

Iggy Pop is a "Rock Icon?"🤔 Jim Morrison, yeah, I can see that one!😳 I guess we've move the bar extremely, low, to what's considered a "pop icon"...👀 Now! Yikes!🤔

[@michaelmoraga2926]

Perhaps... If you take a good look at popular culture and who he has influenced beyond what is mentioned in the video, you'd see it. The man has also entered the cultural consciousness by appearing on Star Trek, in addition to John Waters and Jim Jarmusch films... But most significantly is the impact of his musical influence and personal relationship with David Bowie, and his albums "The Idiot" and "Lust for Life". Pop has earned respect by "playing the long game" in becoming an icon for generations since the 80's. Not only has he influenced music since then, but he's highly intelligent, down to earth, and a survivor.

[@booshank2327]

Iggy is on another level to Jim Morrison, he's had far deeper and broader cultural influence.
