Anybody understand where Storf gets crediting the first Stooges album with being the catalyst for glam rock? Seems like a weird take. Shock rock, maybe? But only performance wise.

My guess is that he's just talking out of his ass

I didn’t read it but Iggy is glam as fuck.

Storf is what we call a "Spoofer" & "Absolute Chancer" in Ireland. Try call the man out on this and he will prove it with abuse

He has no idea what he is talking about. Again.

The Dolls were the birth of glam in NYC and this is entirely documented in PLEASE KILL ME. The Stooges followed the MC5 out of Detroit, it was a whole different scene.

maybe i should just leave this forum for a week or something i clearly did enough damage

i dont even care about the phrase i mostly just use it to say it sounds super old and jack white is desperate to reinvent the 60s

Do not ever leave on the account of these dudes, unless you want to. The pearl clutching over your use of boomer is redic.

i never really liked the white stripes (elephant is overrated boomer shit and jack white seems like a pretentious douche). and i dont really want a stevie nicks album on vinyl (i like fleetwood mac but only really rumours)

unless hip hop is AMAZING next month i'm officially unsubbing

Thats my teenage years/early 20s and we were neither boomers or even gen x, we were the millennials

Not as glam as Bolan, at least not before Bolan, right? I'm wondering if there's something about early Stooges that I'm missing, but I've never heard them referred to as glam rock at all even though Iggy started putting makeup on.

yeah Bolan and Bowie started glam for sure but Iggy can be credited for it in the US as much as The Dolls imo.

I mean, The Stooges weren’t glam at all but Iggy as a frontman kinda was.

Yeah I always thought of them as following in MC5's footsteps and taking it further in a more focused direction.

I don't want to argue but no way. Bowie was at those early Dolls shows taking notes. They were the ones.

in the us sure. Marc Bolan would have a word.

 

[TheThinWhiteDuke]

And I just want to recommend the book PLEASE KILL ME: THE ORAL HISTORY OF PUNK that covers Stooges, MC5, the Dolls, and how Bowie fit into it in detail, as told by the people in those bands and working for those clubs.

Bowie was taking notes from Bolan too. He was doing it before the Dolls. And I fucking love the Dolls.

@duke86fan boomer shit was most definitely the incorrect term for Elephant lol but I wouldnt worry about any of the responses you got about it at all. Please dont leave the forum over this. It's really nothing to be worried about at all ❤

Oh that is very true. But I'm saying Bowie didn't invent glam. This is all sounding like a SHF thread now lol

 

[mdmost]

I'm normally the type to swap out of something like the Stooges but the whole 70s NYC punk scene has me weirdly interested. Thanks to The Deuce series for that.

 

[Endtro]

Can i say how much I love we’re discussing the origins of glam rock tonight?!? Nice distraction for sure.

Cheers folks.

 

[Jmcg85]

I thought for years Iggy Pop & Stooges were a UK band, probably due to Trainspotting Lust For Life or the use of I Wanna Be Your Dog in a Guy Ritchie movie I think Lock Stock 2 Smoking Barrels (lost the card game into an anxiety induced spin scene?) It's not that long ago I realised American. I find Iggy so intriguing though and Stooges have a great raw edgy sound that appeals to me. I'll definitely enjoy spinning this album even though I admittedly have not heard it in its entirety in either mix. Edit: I should probably add I am familiar with stooges & more so Iggy but from a "This is the stooges" spotify playlist POV I'm not going in blind here

Great picks for the next three months, IMO. Pretty colors too! Hope the next two classics picks are just as good. Anticipating the shipments and/or pressings will be delayed, obviously, but will be happy to get them whenever that may be.

Lol, what does VMP need to pick for us to start arguing about where punk started?
