This was Iggy’s first real exposure in popular music, seeing how The Stooges did not sell many records at the time and as Bowie was at the height of his popularity in his Ziggy Stardust era.īy now the two were located in Berlin, where Bowie would make this ‘Berlin Trilogy’ of albums and also help Iggy set off on a solo career.
By 1976, David Bowie, who by now was a good friend of Pop’s, took Iggy along tour with him in another attempt to revitalize the sinking career. During this time, Iggy was also instated in rehab/mental institution to try and clean up his act. In 1975, Pop recorded some work with Stooges guitarist James Williamson, though nothing was released that year (but was released in late’ 77 as Kill City). Even after meeting David Bowie in 1971, who made an effort to revive his career, the drugs still prevailed. During Pop’s time with The Stooges, he had developed a serious drug addiction, which was one of the causes for bands downfall. After the demise of The Stooges in '74 he went on a bit of a hiatus.
Review Summary: Iggy Pop's second solo album as well as second collaberation with David Bowie is one of his best post-Stooges albums and contains some of his signature songsġ977 was not only a big year for punk rock, but was also a big year for Iggy Pop, one of it’s pioneers.
