Get the fuck out of here H.P. and go back to your old account.

>Calls me old man
>Is actually old when I'm not

Cool story.

 

[The Batlord]

It says you've been here for ten years. Unless you were five when you joined we have to at least be roughly in the same age bracket.

i'm wholly certain he isn't HP lol. elric is still omni though.

i love the stooges but the first two kick RAW POWER's ass frankly.

 

[CiG]

Fun House especially.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

The Stooges are a favorite but better than The Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, or Cream? Kiss my ass.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Also, the use of "hella" as an adjective or word period, is proof positive this cunt isn't me.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Fun House especially.

Fun House and the Iggy Pop mix of Raw Power are my favorite Stooges albums, the debut is marvelous though.

i always wonder where that riff in 'i wanna be your dog' came from. like, where do you magic that spare, mean, carnal thing up from in 1969? would've seemed ahead of its time ten years later, let alone back then.

 

[CiG]

To me it seems like it springs sort of naturally from The Velvet Underground.

 

[PrincessHades]

Anyone here like Depeche Mode? I've only heard two of their songs-Master and Servant and Personal Jesus. That's enough for me to say that they are an awesome band

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

The Stooges essentially kept with the skeleton of the Detroit rock and roll mold, driving, gritty, absurdly loud blues-influenced chord pounders with wicked, uneasy solos, pumped into one sleek, lethal, rhythmically skintight package, then added the grimiest elements of The Rolling Stones and The Doors. Add a crazed frontman with a punk attitude, unique voice, and enough energy to outrun Usain Bolt on crack, and, voilà, The Stooges.

I hear a lot of what The Stooges did on their debut in tracks like this:

I love me some Depeche Mode man. You should really check out Some Great Reward.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

Absolutely, I hear plenty of Velvet Underground in The Stooges, plus a little MC5, Doors, and Stones.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

We Will Fall, unsurprisingly, a track on their debut, is their most Velvet Underground influenced track to my ears, along with 1970 or L.A. Blues.

After the longest of not really liking it all that much, I eventually came to the conclusion that the B-side of Funhouse was the best thing they ever did. The way it devolves through all three tracks into just plain noise is pretty awesome.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

By far one of their most innovative musical ventures, yes. Influenced a lot of post-punk, avant garde rock, noise rock, etc.

The tamer, less charming version of GG Allin...

Also, Iggy Pop possesses an impressive physique for an ex-heroin user who doesn't lift. I could say even more about Phil Anselmo, but he definitely lifts.

I like his song "The Passenger".
