2009 Tour

Scott Iggy Ron


Call me SIR

well I've never heard them called 'The Stooges plus Watt and Mackay' - that's too clumsy I suppose

what of Williamson? Is he officially an ex-Stooge then. what would happen if he suddenly decided to COME BACK - but then I guess that's not likely at all

hahahaha that's a good one Ted!
or Steven Mike: SM SIR

First the mass got introduced to Iggy (took about 30 years)
nowadays to The (3) Stooges and after that maybe The Stooges+
That would be more than a 100 years strategy to introduce The complete Stooges with Steve and Mike..
don't think the mass/crowd will ever get that.
If The Stooges taking themselves serious as a contemporary band with their new music
they should demand in the media the introduction of all the band members for a 100%.. to my opinion.

I wonder if Mike and Steve feel a little left out?

yeah me too!
I would say; yes they probably do.. but they'll never admit that in public.

Do you ever read Mike Watts accounts of his touring with the Stooges ?
They're amazingly detailed.

yeah I do! especially the ones about the gigs i were.. but they were a bit disappointing.. he had a totally different perception of it than i had. Though it's superfun and great to read about Mike in the band and his experiences!

I just wonder how he remembers it in such detail !!!

he writes it down pretty quick after the gig i guess.
Hmm.. but to my opinion it could be even more detailed.. a lot is left out.. it seems like everything what has to do with the SIR(s)
that info is brought to the minimum. maybe cuz an agreement with them..

HaHaa ...... the SIRs ....... lol

Yes, he is Just like Dave was

Except Williamson is still alive.

I always wonder just what Williamson REALLY thinks of the reconstituted Stooges. I wonder if anything COULD ever tempt him back...even for just a couple shows or something

Steve never helped to create any of the songs, he added to them but Iggy had it all planned out in his head when he should come in.

As for Mike, if he feels that its just a part-time job then let him feel that way. After all he didn't help create the 3 greatest albums of all time. He did help create "Double Nickels On The Dime" with The Minutemen though, which is a classic in its own right.

The 3 original Stooges are very different from Mike and Steve though. Mike and Steve are happy in the knowledge that people like their music, the original Stooges were insulted for so long they want to rub it in their critics faces. Hell, I would. "Fuck you we're the greatest band on the planet and wwe've always been that".

that's one hell of a part-time job. Lucky Mike.

I work in a picture-framers part time and Watt's in The Stooges, well
