Search and Destroy: Iggy & The Stooges' Raw Power plot
Raw Power is the third album by Iggy Pop & The Stooges, which was released just before the breakup of this punk formation. The album is widely acclaimed today, but it flopped in 1973, when the general public rallied behind new trends such as disco and glam rock. For many musicians, the record turned out to have had an enormous influence on their perception of music, as can be seen from the stories of Johnny Marr, Clem Burke (Blondie drummer), Henry Rollins and Chrissie Hynde. Members of The Stooges themselves, drummer Scott Asheton, guitarist James Williamson and front man Iggy Pop, also look back at the album - with surprising musical analyzes of the songs - and at the rise ("we were a working band without work") and fall. of the belt. In addition to the interviews, the film also contains recordings of the reunion concert that The Stooges gave in 2009 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It shows that even Iggy Pop's legendary body has been damaged by the ravages of time, but also that the songs of the album still stand proudly. And, of course, there are plenty of images and photos from The Stooges' glory days, when they were still, according to rock critic Lester Bangs, "the sound and look of the future."
