Results for The StoogesIggy Pop formed the Psychedelic Stooges with the Ashetons and bassist Dave Alexander in 1967. Their first gig was Halloween night, 1968. Signing to Elektra Records in '69, the band chose John Cale (ex-Velvet Underground) as its producer, released a self-titled debut album and removed Psychedelic from the name. In 1970 the Stooges released a second album, Fun House, recorded almost live with a PA. After recording Fun House, the Stooges shocked audiences with Iggy's self-destructive performance at the Cincinnati Pop Festival. Elektra fired the Stooges that June, and the Stooges broke up as Iggy battled a heroin addiction. Two years later, Iggy and the Stooges reformed with the help of David Bowie to release a third album, Raw Power. The album was a commercial flop as was the rest of the Stooges' career, and Iggy Pop went on to solo. By the mid-'80s, the Stooges' underground recording days had earned the group fame as one of punk rock's first bands, thereby solidifying its legacy in rock history.“more

Ronald Frank Asheton, who died January 6th at the age of 60, was an undeniable part of that equation, squeezing out the tasty and repetitive guitar noise that laid the foundation for the Stooges’ groundbreaking proto-punk sound. Ron’s growling git-box was the hairy beast missing link between twangy ’60s garage rock and full-on ’70s punk blasting. The way he could beat you utterly senseless with the same three notes for four or five minutes was almost poetic.
