I'll be honest with you here - I'm working this album as part of the old day job. Normally that would mean I wouldn't post it because of the whole conflict of interest thing. But fuck that shit man, it's the mother fucking STOOGES!
Not only did Iggy round up the boys he also went out and got Mike Watt to play bass. I have to say that this first track is incredibly awesome. It has the aggression of the old Stooges except with a much tighter song structure.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, old punks are better then young punks. The classic rock bands were great musicians when they started and their skills have deteriorated over the years because they had nowhere to go but down. On the other hand punk musicians all kinda sucked when they started and have just gotten much better over years of playing. That's why bands like Mission Of Burma, Buzzcocks, New York Dolls, and the Stooges have only gotten better with time. Fuck yes, punk rock.
hell of a post Matt!
