Good work! I wasn't allowed to announce til they changed it to "Iggy and the Stooges" instead of just "Iggy Pop." Iggy's insistant that it's billed the Stooges.

cb tell me why on most publicity pics of the Stooges
Mike Watts is always excluded ?
He's been a Stooge longer than Dave Alexander !!

That's a valid point. I don't quite understand that one either.

I don't know. Most of the publicity photos are from 2003/2004. He didn't write any of the songs on "The Weirdness"...and hes not an original Stooge. But he deserves recognition, there could have been no better (living) bass player choice

The point is probably that he ain't the original Stooge
And I think he was asked to play with the Stooges as a supporting musician. At least at the beginning. But even when looking at the new songs, all of them are written by Iggy Pop and Ashetons. None of them mention Mike Watt as the co-writer.

Hoping for some west coast USA action. They could easily pull off a theatre tour of mid-size venues or a package tour of larger with a couple of other bands.

Watt regards it as a "side-mouse" job. Not his main gig, but he is indeed honoured to be doing it. He and Steve McKay are kinda the second class stooges.

i dunno about that at all, i think theyre all the stooges and they wanna be seen as that

keep in mind ron wood was only a paid muscian til the bridges to babylon tour i think, or somethig like that

neway, i think he considers it a side job like u said james, also i think they wanna just get out that they are the stooges, those three guys, cause a lot of ppl still dont know them, so theyre still workin on the PR kinda thing

Actually, Wood was an "official Stone" beginning in 1976. As far as the musician part, don't get me started.

yeh, he was made an official stone in 76, but didnt get royalties for the tours n stuff, he was just paid as a musician like the other guys in the band, ie daryl i think his name is n all

Ah, got it. You're absolutely right. I was just looking at things from the wrong angle. Sorry about that!

Its cool, just stating that mike i guess, isnt seen as an 'official' stooge, and maybe even doesnt want to be like james said, its a sideproject for a while, dunno, think its just to get ppl used to the original members, then go from there

OMG ..... the Three Stooges ........ lol
