Rolling Stone Magazine "Funhouse" review

Has anyone ever read the original "Funhouse" review in Rolling Stone. It's GREAT and is what put me over the edge to originally check out The Stooges back in 1970. If you'd like, I can scan it and post it (I don't think it's anywhere on the web).

well...if it's not already on the web... then you definitely have to post it! Thanks!

btw, when did you first get the debut album? (I've got to ask because, incredible as 'Funhouse' is, the first album is my personal favourite)

yeah !! thanks Chazz!!!

Yeah, it would be great if you could scan it for us!

Here's the review for the first album...




And the review for "Funhouse"...

Here's a cool 1985 review by Henry Rollins from Spin magazine that I really like.
The underlines were done a long time ago for another reason.

What the fuck were those Rolling Stone guys smoking?

Thanks for posting those!

big " merci " man !!

Hey shit! Thanks so much for those Chazz Avery!

You now have access to the bootlegs section!

thanks a lot

WOW!! Thank you very fucking much Chazz!! Actually I found the Funhouse review by Charles Burton to be quite funny But one thing I don't understand - "...And that swastika on Scott's lapel." -> WTF?!? I always knew that Ron had obsession with that nazi stuff..and saw that 'Iron Cross' pics..but never with swastika..and I would never concern that with Scott..hmm

I think he meant Ron.

Some people do seem to get them confused. At least Scott thinks so.

AWEsome, thanks Chazz!

'picturesque' Iggy's 'blatantly poor' imitation of early Jagger!

Blatantly poor imitation of Jagger my ass.

Sure, I know Ig copped a few ideas from Mick. But he took them about 30 levels UP.

That's like saying Scott is a poor imitation of Charlie Watts. Or Ron a poor.....uh, well you get it.

it's funny how that guy could call the Stooges' music 'boring' too!

altho of course he does go on to say he LIKES it....

Sounds more probable:) And that review of their debut shows what Iggy said that people really hated them ha ha Poor hippies and mr. Ed Wrong (not Ward)

Rolling Stone critics were and ARE a bunch of fucking hacks.
Rule of thumb: If they say it sucks, BUY IT.
