Interview with Natalie Schlossman

Thanx for getting to my questions, Natalie!
Per Michael Tipton, it would be great if he came on the forum, but if his KO masters have yet to see the light of day then getting him to talk liberally about it all might be asking too much. I'm glad the music came out when it did and I think we, and now the band, have been much the better for it. Hopefully there are no bruises left after all these years.

thanks a lot for this great interview Natilie and mc.
this forum is really cool.
thanks again!!!!

dear natalie, for years i have tried to find the woman who, back about 1967, sent me a photo of jim morrison that she had taken. i thought her last name was spelled differently than yours (no 'c') but you're as close as i've ever come to finding her. i can see you're a rocker from the stooge related input and so i had to ask; i have treasured it for years and it still hangs on my pantry wall. any connection here? thanks in advance. deb

Deb,

That was me. I've answered your PM.

Natalie

Nat, when was the last time you spoke with Ron? From what I have gathered from reading the interview and your subsequent posts you didn't have the opportunity to speak with him after the reunion, correct? I just wonder what his feelings were about all the positive response they were getting from so many old and new fans.

Elroi,

Ron and I corresponded through the late 70's. I think we may have lost touch in 1979. One of the regrets in my life, and I don't have many about the Stooges, is that I never saw the first reunion gigs.

I can't give any personal insight to your inquiry. You'll just have to take what you've read in interviews and come to your own conclusion.

Natalie

Thanks Nat. So, have you had the opportunity to speak at any length with any of the other members at the shows you have attended lately?

I spoke with all of them briefly except the Ig in London.

A bit late in the game for this interview but ill pitch my question anyways;

Natalie, you said that you first heard Open Up & Bleed along with Cock in My Pocket during the '71 period. I was wondering if any other of the later tunes were performed during this time or wether there were any other 'lost' songs that never made it onto the '71 You Dont Want My Name box set? At the last show without Iggy or James, the rest of the band play What You Gonna Do, an indicator perhaps that there was more rehearsed than played.

I heard these songs first after the band reformed and recorded Raw Power. It was just before Raw Power was released. I attended some gigs in Michigan in spring of 1973.

I do not recall any additional songs other than the many that have already been released on the numerous bootlegs available.

Hey Natalie,

There are a bunch of pictures by you on Facebook that feature Rock, Watt, McKay and Scott Thurston from 2010. Where are those from?

Thanks, Steve

Glad you liked it. Check this one too with Jimmy Silver: https://stoogesforum.forumotion.com/t2785-interview-with-jimmy-silver

Really it's quite amazing both he and Natalie have such good memories of those times!

This was a great read, thanks for sharing.

Hey Natalie, i started a thread on the main section to see if anyone had any clear live photos of the late 1970/1971 period with james and ron on guitars they could share and was wondering if you could help?

Steve,

Those photos were taken in January 2010 at the first tribute for Ron. It was in LA and organized by Scott's daughter Leanna.

Those photos are also here on an older thread about the tribute.

Sorry for the late reply. I never received a notice that there was a new post and I don't check in every day anymore since the forum is not as active as it used to be.

Natalie
