Now I seem too remeber I read some place here that they were rehearsing some of the unrealesed songs before this years touring, think it was from an interview with James.

I've heard they rehearsed "You don't want my name" in a soundcheck

Suddenly my heart started pounding way faster!
Think that's a song that Iggy may still do a descent performance on.. Not that it's that easy to hear how well he's singing on the 71 box.

Heres for hoping for some 71 feedback flashback with Recca joining on bass

I think pretty much everyone would love to see him play with the Stooges again and Scott Thurston, too!

i agree

I like Mike right where he is.

Same here, Jimmy looks like he also plays guitar, they could maybe sort of recreate the twin guitar sound for the '71 songs. I would like to see all former stooges (Jimmy R, Scott T and Bob Sheff) all get a little bit of playing time. I know they all still play.

At this point, Mike is as much a Stooge as any other Stooge. What would be nice is to see Scott T. back for a new album and him hooking the band up with Rick Rubin to produce. If they can work Jimmy back in, well that would be great too. Also, it would be imperative that they at least attempt to somehow include the material Ron and Scott were working on before Ron checked-out.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but sometimes, you can't go home again. This is one of those times.

I'm very impressed with what a trouper Mike has been through all his knee issues and pain.
Mike is definitely a Stooge now. Let it be.

Exactly. But, if we are going to dream let's dream big. Can you imagine if Ron had not left us and him and James had managed to work out their differences. James rejoins the band and Scott T. returns. The twin guitars again and with Scott T. on keys and Mac on Sax. Just imagine what could have been. Que sera, sera. C'est la vie.

They sure are all good musicians but we must not think "the more , the better".
But then again Scott T. seems to be a buddy of James' , so I'm pretty sure he'll
join for some album action when needed.

We recently saw how great those songs come with just James and Iggy already.
Finally an "Iggy Mix" of I Wanna Be Your Dog hehe

Stooges' pre-storm arrival in Finland not just reminiscent of old "we want the Beatles!" days, but that painting of The Spirit of '76" with the American Revolutionary militia limping and battered! Poor Mike!

Hopefully, Mike's leg will will improve during the nearly two week break between the Holland and Atlantic City shows.

Absolutely right, ElRoi.

I hope they record a (possibly fictitious) song that was mentioned in the NME in I think 1973/4. It was called

"I'm Gonna Knock Ya Teeth So Far Down Ya Throat, Ya Gonna Have T' Stick Ya Tooth-brush Up Ya Ass T' Clean 'Em (Baby)"

and was (allegedly) featured in a gig at The Wigmore Hall. I have the printed evidence.

I just can't wait for it to come out..

I don't agree about Scott return. In my opinion keybords don't fit well Stooges music except for Gimme Danger.
I hope they gonna relase an album half with the Raw Power songs they are playing during the tour (I think many concerts where recorded so far) and half with new material with the current line up. Wildirness wasn't a good album but My Idea of Fun and Mexican Guy rock!
