I'm excited by anyone who covers Stooges or Iggy songs

Good. When our demo comes out you'll be the first to get the download.

Speaking of which, we've pretty much transformed ourselves into a Stooge cover band for the time being. People dig the songs, and our new singer is a wild fucker much in the spirit of Iggy. I'm having a fucking ball!

Patti Smith and REM together? it gets worse

I think what we're going to do is perfect one song at a time, and I'll post them as they get perfected.

First song we'll do will be Fun House. That one already smokes.

I love "fresh rag". It sound's better on "St Louis Adolescent Nightmare" but gimmicks cover is great. I hope some better live recordings from '71 will be found and released.

its got such a great feel to it. i hope theres another version of it on the easy action 1971 boxset!

I've always preffered "You Don't Want My Name" to "Fresh Rag".

Pretty wild...

Peaches is good stuff. Especially with this cover. Prob the best cover I'v ever heard of the song... As in the only cover of the song I haven't felt lacking everything the original does(this incl dictators version).
This song doesn't try to coop with the org's dynamics but instead it devolpes the song into something completely else. I mean listen to the primal drumming(Rock Action class. Doing so much out of so little) and the ease the bassy synth has it. It's laid back and still feels like if it's sex exploding into space, just as I wanna be your dog!

I'm gonna get hold of this song as soon as I can... And if someone of you allready has it, you hopefully be good and tell where to download it

It's not bad but I prefer her doing her own stuff. Fuck the Pain Away is a classic.

She's worth seeing too. I saw her supporting the Stooges in Paris and it was one of the best supports I've ever seen at an Iggy show.

thanks for posting, i like it, its not amazing, but i had it in my head all day today, and really liked having it there lol

i iike peaches own stuff too, fatherfucker has some cool songs, like operate nad tombstone or the inch

and fuck the pain away is cool! she has some good songs, this is good too, havent listened to the others, but beck and some people are on there so guess it must be at least decent

i havent been much of a peaches fan ( im not into the whole "techno" type sound on the majority of her songs) but i did like the song she did with iggy - kick it. the lyrics are pretty funny cause she refrences stooges songs

like Peaches own stuff.
but the covers? nah. not my cup of tea.
just never heard a good Stooges cover from any other band ever..

the finnish band HIM are used to doing a short tag of t.v. eye to the end of two of their songs in concert. right here in my arms and it's all tears (drown in this love).

they have also done mask and they used "no shit" as intro music on their 2001 tour dates.

you might not like their music, but they're big, big fans of iggy / stooges. ville uses shure microphones strictly due to iggy.

Easy now!

I appreciate that, but let me get it all put together before any bragging is done. Hearing is believing!

Thanks though.

I know what u mean I got that "We will fall" tribute cd and theres maybe 2 or 3 songs i like.

My fav cover is Nada Surf doing "I'm sick of you"
it sticks really faithfully to the original but gets to the fast bit sooner.

infact listening to the cover made me get into the original more.
now its like one of my favourite stooges songs!
