I hear ya Iggy, it's all just beep boop.. what you should do is hook up with the band Sum 41. They're punk rock, just like you!

I wonder what Iggy thinks of The Dead, because he sounds like Bob Weir in this.

Getting up on stage with sequencers and synthesizers is against everything that American music stands for, right?

Yeah.. what's funny is that Iggy got inspired to do music in the first place when he saw The Doors, which was pretty much a keyboard driven band. I don't know what the context here is, were people leaving his stage to go listen to some electronic group? That recently happened to Mark Kozelek, when his mostly quiet set was drowned out by The War On Drugs, so he wrote a whole bunch of mean tweets and a song about how much he hates that band, even though they're not all that different. This seems like butthurt 101 to me.

Also it's been too long since I've listened to it, but if I remember The Idiot embraced a lot of early electronic sounds as well. I guess if he thinks of all techno music as Darude - Sandstorm then yeah, techno kinda sucks but that's like saying that all punk = Fallout Boy.

The story I always heard was that he was a blues aficionado and drummer, and went to Chicago to "learn the blues" before discovering rock. Anyway, if this was from the early 90s then techno was still closer to punk than punk had been in years, but in 2007 none of it means anything, genres are a pretty meaningless concept at this point. They always kind of were but at least in the past geographic restrictions made them actually kind of correspond to something, now they're mostly arbitrary.

Yeah I should've clarified, "inspired to do punk/garage music" (technically 'punk' wasn't a word associated with anything music until 1970) and not music in general.

I actually wasn't even trying to be willfully pedantic for a change, I was sincerely trying to figure out if I was confusing his story with someone else's.




Anyhow, I just like any opportunity to point out that the punks were pretty much the same thing.

To be fair, just like how i'm hating rock music more every day living in small-town america, with his rabid european fanbase he's gotta have been slammed with the worst of the worst, incessantly, touring and partying over there.
