I had the tremendous investment my parents made in me. I got a lot of care.

They helped me explore anything I was interested in. This culminated in their evacuation from the master bedroom in the trailer, because that was the only room big enough for my drum kit. They gave me their bedroom.[1. Music career[edit]Early days: 1. The Prime Movers, featuring Pop on drums. Osterberg began his music career as a drummer in various high school bands in Ann Arbor, Michigan, including the Iguanas, who cut several records such as Bo Diddley's "Mona" in 1. His later stage name, Iggy, is derived from the Iguanas.

After exploring local blues- style bands such as the Prime Movers (with brothers Dan and Michael Erlewine), he eventually dropped out of the University of Michigan[1. Chicago to learn more about blues. While in Chicago, he played drums in blues clubs, helped by Sam Lay (formerly of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band) who shared his connections with Iggy.[1.

Inspired by Chicago blues as well as bands like The Sonics, MC5 and The Doors, he formed the Psychedelic Stooges and began calling himself Iggy. The band was composed of Iggy on vocals, Ron Asheton on guitar, Asheton's brother Scott on drums, and Dave Alexander on bass.

Their first show was played at a Halloween party at a house in Detroit, Michigan. Members of the MC5 were also in attendance. The Stooges era: 1. The seeds of Pop's stage persona were sown when he saw The Doors perform in 1.

University of Michigan and was amazed by the stage antics and antagonism displayed by singer Jim Morrison.[1. Morrison's extreme behavior, while performing in a popular band, inspired the young Pop to push the boundaries of stage performance.

Other influences on Pop's vocals and persona were Mick Jagger and James Brown. Pop was the first performer to do a stage- dive, which he started at a concert in Detroit.[1. Pop, who traditionally performs bare- chested, also performed such stage theatrics as rolling around in broken glass and exposing himself to the crowd.[1.

I attended two concerts by the Doors. The first one I attended was early on and they had not gotten their shit together yet. That show was a big, big, big influence on me.

They had just had their big hit, "Light My Fire" and the album had taken off.. So, here's this guy, out of his head on acid, dressed in leather with his hair all oiled and curled. The stage was tiny and it was really low. It got confrontational. I found it really interesting.

I loved the performance .. Part of me was like, 'Wow, this is great. He's really pissing people off and he's lurching around making these guys angry.' People were rushing the stage and Morrison's going 'Fuck you.

You blank, blank, blank."' You can fill in your sexual comments yourself. The other half of it was that I thought, 'If they've got a hit record out and they can get away with this, then I have no fucking excuse not to get out on stage with my band.' It was sort of the case of, 'Hey, I can do that.' There really was some of that in there.[1. In addition to Jim Morrison and The Doors' influence on the band, Iggy Pop also attributes the Stooges getting jump started after seeing an all- girls rock band from Princeton, New Jersey called The Untouchable play. In a 1. 99. 5 interview with Bust Magazine, he relates: And the other thing was we went to New York. We had gone to New York a couple of months before that just to check out the scene, and we had never been to a place like New York..

Eighth Street there where all the young tourists hang out, and we met these girls from New Jersey, from Princeton, they had a band called The Untouchable, and we're like, "Oh, you've got a band, sure, ha ha ha," and they said "Well, come to our house and see us play." And we didn't have anywhere to crash, and they played for us, and they completely rocked, and we were really ashamed."In 1. Stooges, the band signed with Elektra Records, again following in the footsteps of The Doors, who were Elektra's biggest act at the time (reportedly, Pop called Moe Howard to see if it was all right to call his band "The Stooges," to which Howard responded by merely saying "I don't care what they call themselves, as long as they're not the Three Stooges!" and hung up the phone).[citation needed] The Stooges' first album The Stooges, (on which Pop was credited as "Iggy Stooge"), was produced by John Cale in New York in 1. Both it and the follow- up, Fun House produced by Don Gallucci in Los Angeles in 1. Though the release of Fun House did not receive the recognition it expected, it was later ranked #1. Rolling Stone's '5. Greatest Albums of All Time' in 2. Shortly after the new members joined, the group disbanded because of Pop's worsening heroin addiction.

In 1. 97. 1, without a record deal, the Stooges kept performing in small clubs with a 5- piece line- up that included both Ron Asheton and James Williamson on guitars and Jimmy Recca on bass, Dave Alexander having been sacked by Pop the previous year when he turned up for a gig unable to play because of his chronic alcoholism (he died in 1.

However, since neither Pop nor Williamson were satisfied with any players in England, they decided to re- unite the Stooges. Ron Asheton grudgingly moved from guitar to bass.

After its release Scott Thurston was added to the band on keyboards/electric piano and Bowie continued his support, but Pop's drug problem persisted. The Stooges' last show in 1.
