His stomach looks like he's in the middle of a horizontal bungee jump.

Anyone in Montreal saw the gig? how was it?

Give Watt back his Thunderbroom!

Gears of war?

I saw The Stooges
Covered with bruises

I stole the Stooges gears.
Music hurt my ears.

Iggy & the Stooges set up website to find gears stolen in Canada.

Fortunately the thieves left behind the pulleys, wedges and inclined planes.

This just in: if you stole a bass from Mike Watt, you're a dick. More at 11.

Who will save rock and roll?

/ surprising number of 'taters fans here on teh farks.

And some Minutemen fan is bound to find the guy and give him a kitshicking.

Hey mike, next tour call Gibson, they will send you a relic free of charge, no one will know. Leave the real deal at home.

HappyHarryHardOn: Anyone in Montreal saw the gig? how was it?

I did. I can say, for the record, that they put on a better show than The Killers.

kill the guys that stole their gear.

//met Watt once. The coolest guy ever.
//don't actually kill them.

Forget it

It's gone

Scattered around a dozen pawn shops in Montreal. A small, local band (who actually did McCartney first part in Quebec City) had all their gear stolen from their truck last winter, never saw a single piece back.

Mokmo: Forget it

I dunno, SY recently got a buch of gear back that was stolen nearly a decade ago.

And it's not like this was some bass off of musiciansfriend or anything- a vintage piece like this is worth a small fortune, and will easily be spotted.


Who the hell rips of Mike Farkin' Watt? He's the nicest guy on the farking planet!

McBatt: I dunno, SY recently got a buch of gear back that was stolen nearly a decade ago.

Watt was involved with SY as well (maybe not at that time)
Maybe people just like stealing stuff when he's around.

Also, I keep thinking of Watt's unwitting contrubution to "Providence," upbraiding Thurston Moore for loosing a bunch of crap.

Every Iggy and the Stooges thread needs a link to their hilarious tour rider-Link (new window)

thanks nimeye, that was really entertaining, I hadn't seen that before!!!!!

Times have changed, I recall when the Stooges would have just forgotten where their equipment went.

One time, Scott Ashton, the drummer tried to drive their 12 foot high truck under an 9 foot bridge...fun times.

/this tho' is no fun either

Iggy and Watt, what an awesome pack of animals.
