Cathy I hope they work up some of the stuff after Raw Power ....... too many to name, but that would be cool.

will this be a one-off?

great news on the Asheton tracks too ...altho I suppose 'future project' can mean pretty much anything

Cathy can you pass on a request that they do Head On and Johanna as well.

this is great news! im still reeling after ron, but im sure this'll hit me in a couple weeks!

is this a tour? seems very quick for it to happen, which i suppose is stooges style

also has anyone noticed the timeline similarities

stooges mk 1, with ron went for a couple years then fell apart
stooges mk 2 with ron and james one year then fell apart
stooges mk 3 james on guitar couple years then fell apart

well maybe its not an exact thing of what happened first time round, but its still pretty similar

anyway, great news, hope james is up for a tour (or two)

and i hope they play post raw power stuff too, and maybe some kill city, great to hear mike watts coming back too!

and the news about the other tracks Ron laid down

and i think most of all i'm glad stooges are continuing, i dunno how they do it but they survive anything, im glad they're still going

and they must do Cock in my Pocket too!

I have really warmed to the Williamson thing after hearing recent interviews with him. Hopefully they'll play "Open Up And Bleed"

oh yeh forgot about open up and bleed! hope this works itself into a tour

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO 2



and like this tooooo:

'Pop also revealed that Asheton had left six or seven “hard-driving rhythm tracks'' that could also be used in a future project.'

Good news!

I don't fucking believe it!!!

There shall be STOOGES!!!! Not only am I happy for us, but I'm particularly happy for Scott. I was wondering what would become of him after Ron's passing.

YOWZA!!!!

Great! Hope they do "Johanna", "Open Up and Bleed" and some of those long-forgotten 1971 tunes! I thought James had put the gtr on the shelf, but he must have been practicing in recent years. Per

wonder if it'll be a long term thing. all that remains to be seen I guess

Oh my. My life suddenly has purpose again

Seriously, this is some of the best news ever. I just hope the paper didn't jump to conclusions too fast.

never thought he could've let it go completely

Yes, this is very exciting news. I too am very happy for Scott. Somehow continuing with James seems the only right way for me.

Not at all surprised at this news, bittersweet as it is.... but Stooges without Ron does not have the same meaning for me.

However - maybe we'll finally be able to hear Scott's DRUMS on those tunes, eh?

Very good news ! I'm very happy to hear that !

In the french interview Iggy tells about the Stooges projects with James, and that he wants to make a "requiem" for Ron.

A "requiem"... that's very well put. What I meant in my previous message was, that if they're going to continue, James would be the only option for me. And if that's ok with Scott, who am I to argue!

Iggy tells that they have worked with a filmmaker to make a kind of "requiem" for Ron and for the group. He also said that the tracks that Ron had left could be used for a documentary sound track rather than for an album.

(I hope that my translation is not to bad...)

TOLD you. I knew James would play again. I knew it all along. Hope they play Rich Bitch, Born in a Trailer, and Wet My Bed, and Pin Point Eyes, and Head On and and and ...

Historic times! This will be so great!
