The Stooges reforming with James Williamson on guitar

I thought this is what they should have done all along:

He's the guitarist who wrote all the music on Raw Power and pretty much invented that style of guitar playing love or hate it.

Agreed, this makes much more sense.

If last week was the first time Iggy had seen Williamson in 30 years, there must have been other reasons he wasn't included in the first reformed edition.

For one thing, I've read that Ron Ashton felt he was "demoted" to bass on Raw Power and never really got over it. I thought Ron was a great bass player. That is strange that Iggy hasn't seen him in that length of time though, must be more to the story than we'll ever know.

I assume Watt will be on bass?

[Dave W]

Yes, it says "...with noughties Stooges addition Mike Watt on bass."

I never heard this decade called the "noughties." Makes sense.

He was just about inaudible on the album they did a few years ago, hopefully if they record again he'll be able to be heard.
