In a time when hippie idealism was popular, the Stooges threw down the gauntlet in the form of provocative, high-octane rock and roll. Long before images of self-flagellation, peanut butter smearing, and bloodletting cemented a certain sensational, albeit one-dimensional, perception of them, the Stooges – Iggy Pop (ne James Osterberg), Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, and Dave Alexander – were just four kids oozing boredom and frustration in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the genteel university town forty miles west of Detroit. They couldn’t have known it, but the musical relief they sought and found would spark a time-delayed revolution in sound, style, and performance, making the Stooges one of the most influential groups in modern-rock history The Stooges, originally billed as the Psychedelic Stooges, and also known as Iggy and the Stooges, were an American rock band formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967 by singer Iggy Pop, guitarist Ron Asheton, drummer Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander. Initially playing a raw, primitive style of rock and roll, the band sold few records in their original incarnation and gained a reputation for their confrontational performances, which often involved acts of self-mutilation by Iggy Pop. After releasing two albums – The Stooges (1969) and Fun House (1970) – the group disbanded briefly, and reformed with an altered lineup (with Ron Asheton replacing Dave Alexander on bass and James Williamson taking up guitar) to release a third album, Raw Power (1973), before breaking up again in 1974. The band reunited in 2003 with Ron Asheton moving back to guitar and Mike Watt on bass, and the addition of saxophonist Steve Mackay, who had played saxophone on Fun House. Ron Asheton died in 2009 and was replaced by James Williamson, and the band continued to play shows until 2013, when they also released their last album, Ready to Die. The Stooges formally announced their breakup in 2016 due to the deaths of Scott Asheton and saxophonist Steve Mackay. The Stooges are widely regarded as a seminal proto-punk act. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them 78th on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. In 2007, they were awarded the Mojo Lifetime Achievement Award at the Mojo Awards. #RockHall #RockHall2010 #IggyPop #JamesWilliamson #DaveAlexander #ScottAsheton #RonAsheton #BillieJoeArmstrong #GreenDay #GarageRock #HardRock #ProtoPunk #Punk #PunkRock #Rock #Achievement #Awards #Celebration #Ceremony #Concert #Culture #Gala #Honors #Legend #Live #Music #Musica #Performance #Tribute #JUKEBOXHEROES #JUKEBOXHEROESgoldexperience JUKEBOX HEROES @jukeboxheroesofficialchannel JUKEBOX HEROES gold experience @jukeboxheroesgoldexperience
