The perfect Stooges gig

Can't find if you talked already about this one, so here's my question:

Always when I hear a Stooges record or see on dvd a gig with Iggy (a.o. musicians) I have these idea's about each musician.
And can't stop thinking about who I'd put together to play my perfect Stooges gig.
Who of the Stooges (or other musicians playing in a Iggy Pop band) would you choose... on which instrument, for the perfect Stooges gig?

In my massive gig are:

is a suprise: see next page

Cheers!

2 drums too :hunt sales/scott asheton
bass /glen matlock
guitar/ ron of course....james williamson don't play any more...
keyboard/scott thurson (i like him)

About James: imagining the perfect band in my case of coarse!

this is great topic !!!!

heres mine

Drums - Hunt Sales, Scott Asheton
Bass - Scott Thurston(played Bass on Kill City) or James Recca
Keyboard - Seamus Beaghen
Sax - Steve New (Kill City)
Guitar - Ron Asheton, James Williamson, Eric Schermerhorn

______________________________________________________________


CHEERS

drums: scott asheton
guitar: ron asheton
bass: dave alexander
vox: iggy pop

was this rotation thought about? lol

it seems stupid but thats my favourite band ever right there, perfect!

All good line ups, but I'd definitely have Scotty Thurston on Harmonica. Open Up and Bleed from the that first Whisky show that came out is the dogs bollocks, and my number one all time Stooges track!

oh aye, ur rite i love that take! i would give nething to see the stooges back then, even just that number

scott thurston on bass????????

CHEERS

yeah steve new from kill city, thurston on bass from kill city, or recca

CHEERS

more people like the 2 drums idea...

but 3 guitars: James and Ron together, would be awesome!
what an idea man Iggy's voice could handle it in the San Francisco 81 gig..but these days, what ya think?

Including Scott Thurston on harmonica: like this!
Now I can't stop thinking what The Stooges themselves would think of these ideas, they'll probably beserk

glad you liked my idea zin
cheers

Yeah..especially the 2 guitar guy's. It's to me more the idea.
Because the sound..I don't know, they have a contrary sound on guitar!

But wish they could get on and forget what happened in the past. If James would catch up a bit and Ron wouldn't be that stubborn..what the hell... they ought to do it for the fans and for the future! 1 gig wouldn't harm.

thought about keyboards as well...because Scott Thurston is great! but don't like keyboards...gives a smooth, poppy thing to the songs
Scott on bass is an option in that case. But after Ron on Bass comes Dave to my opinion.

nah, i dunno, that arrangement, of ron and james on guitar cant, and didnt work, williamson was too ambitious i think, they just clash, so do the styles, and sure there was also the heroin that split that version up as well, im pretty ok with the original stooges lineup, lol, though i love the 1971 rotation

get your point!

but you can't say it can't be done! Depends on everything: the input and in what way they might have changed. There must be a flow of willing of coarse..


'BE REASONABLE; DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE'

lol, in that case,

vocals; iggy
backing vocals; stacey heydon
guitar; ron asheton
second guitar; jimmy recca
bass; james williamson*
drums; scott asheton and hunt sales
keyboard; scott thurston
sax; mackay

how about that?
* imagine what he would make of a bass!!

WOW YEAH!! like this.....
but no keyboard to me: Scott thurston on harmonica or other instrument.

i dunno he's a pretty good keyboard player, oh shit, actually, i wanna re-do:

vocals; iggy
backing vocals; stacey heydon & scott thurston
guitar; ron asheton
second guitar; jimmy recca
bass; james williamson*
drums; scott asheton and hunt sales
keyboard; bob scheff
harmonica; scott thurston
sax; mackay

thats better

Wild HSJW
toooo many backing vocals man! they can do 2 songs.....and than have to shut up and leave it to The Ig to do it all: loud and deep.
James on Bass: that's a heavy one!!!
Yeah Scott is a extremely good keyboard player. but on keyboard the Bowie stuff is good...and that's no Stooges stuff.....

recca on guitar ?? whoa... he dosent play guotar though... only bass//

oh rite, zinzin, i forgot it was stooges stuff, and yeh ano he doesnt play gutar JLTS but i put james on bass...lol ok, third try

vocals: iggy
backing vocals: stacey heydon *1
guitar: ron
second guitar; james (i love the '71 stuff)
drums: scott / hunt sales
keyboard: bob scheff *2


*1) i love the take of 'dog' on hippodrome '77
*2) cant have rubber legs without keyboards zinzin!
