New Iggy Pop song, awesome as ever

Duff McKagan on bass, but you knew that already.

Very Stooges, does what it says on the tin ("Frenzy").

I really like Iggy too, but for his ballads like this one ...



Only he could pull a song like that off. Never knew he was a southpaw, but it kinda figures.

Dig the Ig! He just signed a new record deal with Andrew Watt's Atlantic subsidiary Gold Tooth Records. Watt was the guitarist in a cool, short-lived Glenn Hughes-fronted project called California Breed (there's your DP connection Uwe). Reading his history, he's accomplished a LOT! Sounds like he's doing good for Iggy.

I saw Watt live with Glenn Hughes. I know he had good credentials from Julian Lennon and what have you, but in a trio format with Hughes he wasn't guitar hero/gunslinger enough. Glenn takes up a lot of space with his voice and his bass playing, if you are going to be a guitarist with him you cannot be a shrinking violet. I hate to say it, but Andrew lacked gravitas, authority and experience as a player - that's not a knock, he was in his early 20ies back then. Maybe if they had done more stuff like this



it would have worked, but in a pure hard rock trio format, Andrew was back then still out of his depth.

His production work on Ozzy's Patient No 9 and Ordinary Man was excellent though. I'm sure he is a musical talent.
