Well there's no need with Iggy. Seen it all before :)

I saw the reunited Stooges 2 or 3 times and saw Ron play with Mike Watt and J. Mascis a few times, too. He was a really nice guy.

Ohh, is it Iggy Pop's band? I had no idea who they were tbh!

Someone needs to do some rock and roll homework. The Stooges were/are a band, not just Iggy's backing group. Asheton was a pioneer of rock guitar.

Don't worry, not a clue here either. :)

This is true. I'll start with New Kids On The Block. Weren't they some sort of big rock band?

You're thinking of the Fast Food Rockers.

Yay! We can do our homework together!

They have a credible claim to being the first punk rock band. Hell, the Sex Pistols covered Stooges songs more than 30 years ago.
