The Stooges lasted from 1967 to 1974. Having progressed from a noisy, anarchic joke to a great, confrontational rock band and back to a joke, the members were broke and addicted to heroin, except for Mr. Asheton, who increasingly took responsibility for holding the band together from day to day.

Listening to the Stooges in their prime (1967-1973), they’re now considered to be among the finest genuine American Rock & Roll bands ever. Truly, they set a standard. They may have kick started three sub-categories of R & R (Glam/metal, New Wave and Punk Rock itself). Seriously, consider these bands/musicians that recognize them (The Stooges) as an inspiration, The Ramones, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash, Sonic Youth and Rage Against the Machine. And, that’s just a small list. Highly recommend “Open Up & Bleed” the biography of Iggy Pop by Paul Trynka, a British journalist. It’s an excellent account of that band’s history as well.

This is very sad news. Rest In Power.
