WHOA| FIRST TIME HEARING Iggy Pop - Lust For Life REACTION

[@kaspinet]

The use of Lust for Life in the opening moments of Trainspotting was one of the most brilliant moments in cinema. Also, that's Bowie doing background vocals. Their careers crossed over in the 70's with Bowie producing Pop's music and Iggy writing some songs that Bowie covered like China Girl and Tonight. Please do Pop's Candy. Kate Pierson is featured and her vocals are amazing.

[@sexysadie2901]

Bowie only did the piano, not the background vocals.

[@marcusettling9016]

I concur. Absolutely do Candy by Iggy Pop feat. Kate Pierson. She’s the lead singer of the B52‘s. You did a video on them I think.

[@jonathanseed6978]

Pop and Bowie co-wrote Tonight and China Girl.

[@jaquettajones]

Suggested Trainspotting to a couple of younger millennial friends and it was TOO much for them - they could not get through it LOL - a movie SO exceptional it warranted TWO soundtracks! The irony is that I can't get thought any of the Superhero movies :-D

I saw a show from that tour!! In Virginia! Chrissie had a new back up band for the Pretenders and Iggy opened. It was the first time I ever saw a mosh pit. And someone hit Iggy in the face with a balled up cup of ice, like hit him right in the eye, and he just stood back fro a sec, wiped his eye, blinked a few times, and kept on singing barely missed a beat. I was a fan instantly. I don't even remember what year it was but I remember every second of that show. Both bands were amazing.

[@todddepue681]

Traditionally, when artists are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they perform at the ceremony. In 2008, when Madonna was inducted, she requested Iggy Pop and his band the Stooges perform in her stead, as a protest to the Hall of Fame for not inducting the Stooges despite their being nominated several times. The following year, it was announced the Stooges would finally be inducted.

Iggy Pop is a punk godfather! He is one of the few people I would probably get a little starstruck over if I met him in person. I would also suggest you check out his songs "Real Wild Child", "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "Repo Man", "Loves Missing", "American Vahalla" & "Tonight". But, I have to say, my punk girl heart died a little bit when this song was used in tv commercials for a cruise line a few years ago.

[@heathcornbeef]

Kia Ora hello from Aotearoa New Zealand. Unfortunately Iggy pop and many others have had their music used by corporate leeches. How many ads rip off the Ramones riffs. And yeah meeting Lord Iggy would have me a little star struck Henry Rollins and Ian Mackaye like wise i have total respect for those men

[@robr135]

If you called Iggy the godfather of punk to his face he would tell you to 'Fug off' he actually hates that people call him that, and he also is not the biggest fan of punk to put it lightly. Look it up, I was surprised too.

[@journeyCD]

Iggy Pop is the other side of the coin named David Bowie...Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll. Legend

[@LauPulstar]

Iggy is a legend and he survived everything, i like to think he will outlive us all. He' is present in instagram and makes videos with his parrot. Such a character. He represents freedom, rebellion, and the underground like no other. No wonder he was there when punk was born and inspired many that came next. David Bowie was one of his closest friends. When he was having rough times in the 80s and had debt, Bowie released China Girl, which was written by Iggy Pop so to help with the royalty income. There is movie called Velvet Goldmine, which is inspired by David Bowie and the Glam Rock genre from the 70s, that has Ewan Mcgregor (ObiWan from episodes 1 to 3 of star wars) playing a musician based upon Iggy pop and Ewan sings his songs there. By the way, this is from the soundtrack to Trainspotting, a great movie from the 90s, it could be very shocking cause it is about the junkies taking heroin in Scotland and it also has Ewan Mcgregor as a main man.

David Bowie produced two albums for Iggy Pop and they're both classics.

[@OCWord]

Iggy Pop is a rock icon. He was punk rock before the term punk rock was invented. Also he was the first person to do a stage dive into the crowd. He and Bowie were friends and featured in a lot of each others songs. Iggy started in the late 60's as the lead singer for The Stooges. He's never slowed down and is still rockin today.

[@hellokimmy68]

He did "Nightclubbing" with David Bowie, another must do. Both of these songs were on the soundtrack for the movie "Trainspotting." It's a great, great movie, but it's very intense.

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Iggy & Bowie co-wrote a LOT, over the years (as well as: Bowie covering Iggy's songs! Most famously: "China Girl" ....). Bowie, also, Produced Iggy's first two solo albums (including THIS one-rather: NOT the Trainspotting soundtrack (if anyone was thinking THAT1), but, rather: the original album. Lust For Life (Iggy's sophomore solo album))) AND played in his live/touring band, at the time, too. ....they have an extensive personal history (never mind the massive influence that Iggy and Lou Reed had on Bowie (musically as well as image-wise!)-not to mention on: nearly everyone else, paying attention, in the world; at the time and for decades-and-decades later.

[@marcribe6483]

Iggy Pop is another one of the more colorful characters that emerged onto the scene in the sixties but is mostly known for his comeback in the seventies. Born James Osterberg, he became Iggy because of his time playing in The Iguanas, a local neighborhood band from Ann Arbor, Michigan. A fairly competent drummer, Iggy saw a Doors concert in 1966 and became fascinated with Jim Morrison's ability to communicate with the audience. From then on he worked on becoming a front-man with a few fellow dropouts thus forming The Stooges. As a child, his parents were teachers and lived in a trailer parked near cornfields in the outskirts of Ypsilanti near Ann Arbor. A very perceptive child, and taunted by kids in school for living in a trailer, Iggy learned to be distrustful of people at a very early age. All signs suggest that he did not have the emotional maturity to deal with the minor success that he gained with The Stooges in 1969-70. The whole band minus the guitarist became heavy heroin addicts which effectively destroyed their carriers. Through David Bowie who admired Iggy's stage presence RCA signed Iggy Pop which gave The Stooges a second wind. But alas, still junkies, the band managed to release one last album (produced by Bowie) in 1973 then fizzle out mid 1974. Iggy spent the better part of 1974-75 cleaning up in a mental institution. Once out and about Iggy and Bowie, who himself was in the process of cleaning up from his addiction to cocaine, gave each other moral support to stay clean. Bowie helped Iggy orchestrate a comeback. Bowie produced Iggy Pop's first solo album 'The Idiot' (Mar77) and the follow-up album 'Lust For Life' (Set77). Iggy Pop promoted the album by touring the US playing small theaters and the occasional TV show with a small four piece band having David Bowie as the pianist and backing vocalist. That Bowie, already world renown, toured in Iggy's band as such a minor player speaks to their friendship. Bowie's relationship with Iggy, a man notorious for not trusting people, is an example of kindness that I suspect had a positive effect on James Osterberg's psych. Regardless, Iggy Pop became a respected artist from the eighties onwards to this date. There is plenty of footage to see him on stage as a young man and as an old man. As frontmen go, he is always a very wild active act to catch.

[@ScreamqueenarmyBlogspot666]

Iggy Pop appears in the John Waters film Cry Baby ( which is a musical starring Johnny Depp,Ricki lake, Traci Lords & more)

[@michaelminch5490]

He was also in an episode of Star Trek - Deep Space 9 as Yelgrun, a Vorta.

[@theylied1776]

Iggy Pop, Blondie, and The Talking Heads were some of the biggest influences on the American Punk scene. Pretty much all of those New York underground bands of the 1970s were just going against the music industry. They got sick of being rejected by Music Labels and Concert Promoters, so they played underground clubs like CB-GBs and found their audience.

So the video has scenes from the movie Trainspotting that the song was heavily featured in. One of my favorite songs and movies of all time.

[@BGRPiccu]

Iggy Pop is a legend and has actually made some of his best music within the last several years. He started out in a band called the Stooges who were essentially a pre-punk band.

[@TahoeNevada]

He was completely sober in this video. He’s always hyper! He was 50 when this video was filmed! The song is quite literally about getting clean, and finding a new “lust for life”. So, it made sense to use this song in a movie about a gang of hooligans, strung out on heroin. The movie is *Trainspotting*, and you two should totally do a reaction to the movie!

[@futurereflections4097]

“Passenger” by Iggy might be the most emotional song in my life. It’s so nostalgic. It brings me back to some of my best times that I would do anything to get back.

[@michaelminch5490]

Iggy has always been at his best musically when he's just purely being an agent of chaos. He's done some good "mainstream" stuff, mostly in collaboration with Bowie, but his classic stuff, both solo and with the Stooges, has been when he just throws the rule book out the window and goes for it. He's also incredibly intelligent and well-read. I'd love the chance to just hang out with him, smoking some weed, having a few drinks, and talking about whatever. There will never be another Iggster. Period.

[@michaelamaestas4950]

[@MRoyClark]

Detroit's own Iggy Pop started out with The Stooges in the late 60s and early 70s. It was Punk before Puink and a huge influence on UK Glam and Art Rock artists, ESPECIALLY Bowie, who helped produce the last Stooges album (Raw Power, 1973). Iggy recorded two albums cowritten and produced by David Bowie in 1977 in Berlin, including the parent LP for this track, also called Lust for Life and The Idiot. "Lust for Life" turned the classic Motown beat (that bassline is everywhere in Pop and Rock and can be traced back to The Supremes "You Can't Hurry Love"). "Lust for Life" is probably Iggy's best-known track because it's just so fun. And since it came out in Punk Rock's big year (1977) it was largely associated with the early UK Punk movement (even though Iggy is from the US). So, while the song it from 1977, this video is from twenty years later and the iconic 1996 Trainspotting film soundtrack. At this point, Iggy was well into middle-age, but still couldn't find his shirt. I'm not sure I've ever seen him wearing a shiert, actually. LOL This was the original version of the song, but it became a much bigger hit 20 years after it came out because of the success of Trainspotting (the film that gave us Ewan MacGregor). The song and film were both inspired by heroin abuse (good call, Amber!), as Iggy was cleaning up in Berlin when he teamed up with Bowie for his two best albums Lust for Life and The Idiot. He's commonly associated with Bowie, but his own brand of Art Rock is more chaotic, for sure. Try "The Passenger" or the original version of "China Girl" next. Now y'all need to check out some EARLY Roxy Music for a fuller picture of 70s Art Rock. I recommend "Virginia Plain", "Pyjamarama", or "Ladytron" to start with.

[@shelbysnyder8109]

Iggy!!!! Ahhh. This album introduced me to punk in 1977, ... I was 15 ! I got it because Bowie was such a big part of it and was helping to promote it on tv. The Stooges (Iggy's initial band) were one of the biggest influences in punk... going back to the late 60s. He is pretty known for cutting loose .... like no inhibition dancing, not really dancing, but expressing. He is being pretty fun in this video( for the movie trainspotting) and he has plenty of fun songs. But look again at the lyrics. He is pretty deep in most of his songs. He is definitely a serious artist and his music has lots of different moods. The album Lust for Life is incredibly rich. Turn Blue and Some Weird Sin are 2 of my favorite songs. And he actually has a great voice. He has a huge, wonderful catalog of work. Good, good music. He is a force. Raw power. But let's not forget : Search and Destroy, Five foot One, Eggs on My Plate, Pumping for Jill, Bang-Bang, Real Wild Child, Repo Man(theme song)....He also wrote David Bowie's hit, China Girl. The list goes on and on. A Legend!

[@johnhaeussler1350]

I highly recommend Shades and Candy by Iggy Pop & Kate Pearson from the B-52'S, both from the album in the 80’s. I saw him with The Pretenders and his show is amazing. He & Bowie can imitate each others voices perfectly and he tells about them covering each other in the studio in the 70s when one was too hung over. He then did Let’s Dance & you couldn’t tell it wasn’t Bowie. Great show.

[@ronpotts6385]

As the kids today would say, Iggy Pop is an entire vibe. Like someone else said previously in the comments, though the song talks about that wild rocker lifestyle, it's ultimately about putting an end to that ( at least the drugs part) and embracing sobriety. Though the song was released in the 70s, this music video was made in '96 for the movie "Trainspotting", which is about a group of young men in Scotland struggling, with all caps, to also find sobriety. I've always loved the upbeat vibe of the song. It's a great driving song, too; just dont speed, because the song might make you want to.

Iggy Pop, along with MC5, really kicked off punk rock way back in the 1960s. They just slapped a label on it in 1977, and it exploded--but everything had already been happening for years. (Same with Disco; it had been an underground thing for years before it went commercial.)

Pop and Bowie were very good friends. In the years 1976 - 1978 they both lived in Berlin, at times even sharing a flat.

Ewan is explanatory on where he has been and films. Robert Carlyle he played Rumple in Once Upon a Time and has been in a Bond film as a baddie in The World is Not Enough. Kelly Mcdonald did the voice of Merida in Brave and starred in Nanny McPhee. Kevin McKidd you would recognise from Greys Anatomy. Johnny Lee Miller was in Elementry as Sherlock, more recently playing John Major in The Crown. Ewan Bremner you might recognise from playing supporting roles in Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down.

This man is LEGENDARY! He's considered the godfather of punk!

Also, Iggy's "Real Wild Child", "Little Know It All" and "The Passenger" are a blast! He guested in a song by Peaches called "Kick It" too, of which the video is really fun to watch, and he also has a couple of other interesting duets with some other 'special guests' for the songs "Well Did You Evah!" and "Candy".

There's also a great documentary about them called 'Bunch of Kunst' which you could do a movie reaction to, it's superb, they're just two old blokes who stand on the stage with a laptop and a microphone, it shouldn't work, but it just does, their live performances are incredible.

Parts of the video include scenes from Trainspotting. He also does the intro song on Bowie's The Hunger movie (also excellent). You must do the duet with Iggy and Kate Pearson - Candy

Iggy Pop is a legend. His live shows are epic. Check out the video Iggy Pop and the Teddy Bears, Punkrocker.

Next Iggy reaction should be “Candy,” his duet with Kate Pearson of the B-52’s.

Iggy was a true Oddball and screwy character. He was great fun and always looked like he was having fun being a rebel. Yes to you reacting to " I Wanna Be Your Dog" from when he was part of The Stooges. This version is promoting the 1996 movie Trainspotting. A film worth reacting to as it is something different.

HEROIN, my brothers and sisters. HEROIN.

It's a hell of a drug

Iggy is still EXACTLY LIKE THIS on stage today, in his 70s. Shirtless and and writhing around like a maniac. Only at live shows he'll often go full frontal as well. Iggy licensed this song and others like Search And Destroy for many commercials including Norwegian Cruise Lines, and the royalties have set him up for life. The drum intro played by Hunt Sales, son of comedian Soupy Sales, is an all time classic. You should react to The Stooges song Search And Destroy.

Love iggy

Real Wild Child is my favorite Iggy song. 😎

Groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Do some Florence & the Machine. Florence loves Iggy and says she was influenced by him and Nick Cave (do him, too). Iggy paid tribute to Madonna at her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame… 2 originators right there.

You definitely need to watch Danny Boyle's masterpiece movie "Trainspotting" (1996) that this tune is from.

Saw him live last month. Still amazing!

The lead actor in "Trainspotting", the movie whose scenes punctuated this video, later played the Iggy Pop character in "Velvet Underground", about the early days of Glam Rock and its androgyny. It starred a young Christian Bale as a young journalist fascinated with the film's David Bowie character.

I knew this reaction would be funny, but y'all exceeded my expectations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I lived on South Beach Miami in late 90s. Was walking down street sunrise one morning after the 365 night a year "Studio 54 times a thousand" (-SoBe Mayor) had died down. Sidewalk was deserted. Only one other dude was walking toward me. He was barefoot & shirtless. I looked up as he approached & it was none other than Iggy fukn Pop! Wouldn't be surprising except he was all alone. If he hadn't been shirtless i would've thought it a lookalike. I say it, because Iggy extraterrestrial!😅 i just said take it easy bro, & he said you too & we walked on. I still thought for a while maybe i was mistaken. Then a couple years later i saw an episode of Anthony Bourdain & he was hanging with Iggy at his pad in Miami & running round SoBe. Being a punk rocker myself, it was an honor! Rock On! 🤘🌎❤

Iggy is a nation treasure! He’s “The Passenger”!

[@roro515_video]

Iggy is great! If you want a more “pop” version of Iggy, check out his 80’s song “Cry for Love.” Also, the clips from Trainspotting remind me of another of Iggy’s pals you need to check out. Do some Lou Reed. “Perfect Day” is incredible!!!

[@megdelaney3677]

IGGY!!!

[@jameshouston2174]

Seeing him perform live…after crawling through glass ….on stage bloody…..then seeing him years later when he was clean and sober but he still had an animal rawness to his performance

[@greenhousermhcc]

This song was played in the movie "Trainspotting". It showed the hell of not only heroin addiction but the hell of recovery from the addiction. A recovered heroin user told me that many of the scenes in Trainspotting were some of the most realistic scenes to what he experienced. I was a paramedic instructor and we showed this film in class to help the paramedic students recognize the power of addiction when they deal with patients. I would strongly suggest you react to the movie. The entire movie is filled with outstanding music as well.

Iggy serving a full plate .

[@rwschumm]

Remember Well! I think the 'Lust for Life' part has been used in more than one commercial, and probably in a film or two also. I'd say it's Energetic, and 'Snappy' :) Fun Reaction, You Guys! :)
