Ye Olde Metal: The Stooges' The Stooges

The 2015 Martin Popoff 12-page eBook about the making of The Stooges’ 1969 album, The Stooges.


Sadly, three of four of this record’s makers are gone, with only Iggy Pop remaining. However, here the story is told, through the words of brothers Ron and Scott Asheton, interviewed by the author a few years back when The Stooges were mounting their first reformation. A proto-metal classic, The Stooges includes the likes of 1969 and I Wanna Be Your Dog. Come hear the story of metal being born, at the garage end of it, as it crashed out of booming Detroit in the late ’60s, courtesy of these cats and the MC5.
