Product Description
Scooter are back once again with a chart-topping power track with HP Baxxter shouting out his techno propaganda. It's melodic, slightly aggressive, & ironic with all typical the ingredients for a Scooter hit. Five tracks, 'Jigga Jigga' (Radio Edit, Club Mix, Extended Mix, Flip & Fill Remix, & Clubstar Remix). All Around The World. 2004.
If you were to make a list of the one hundred greatest albums of all time Raw Power by Iggy And The Stooges would easily be in teh top ten, maybe even in the top five. No other album in the history of rock n' roll has captured a moment in time so perfectly, and brutaly. 1973, music was changing, things were not so happy an more, the 1960's were long gone, and rebellion was begining to rear its head once again as it did in 1953. A new nature was coming, a new style, a new attitude. Punk took the thoughts of the 1960's and gave them actions. Iggy And The Stooges put that on display for the entire world to see with Raw Power.
'Search And Destroy,' one of the single greatest moments in music history opens this historic album. With guitar from another planet and a swagger to match Ron Asheton and Iggy Pop created one of the most anialating songs in history. 'Search And Destroy' has been cited by many punk legends as the moment they changed the way they thought about music. 'Gimme Danger' which is another killer song. Some Iggy Pops best vocals can be heard here. Part acoustic, part electric 'Gimme Danger' is one of the best songs Iggy ever lent his name to. Its so dark and dangerous, no pun intended. This is one of those rare songs that is just so good it cant be described in words because it must be heard to fully appreciate. 'Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell' which was originaly called 'Hard To Beat' is another yet killer song. Only Iggy would have the nerve to rename a song thirty some years after it was first released to the world. One of the best guitar riffs I have ever heard is in this song. Superb. Fast, loud, unapologetic, and ferocious. All the makings of a excellent song. 'Penetration' has the coolest piano work ever. Simply Amazing. A very sexy song, which Im sure was what Iggy was going for. The lyrics are the most unattractive thing ever but the bands overall performance makes the song very sexy. Very slow, and slimy. This song is reminicent of 'Loose' from the Fun House album. Once again guitar, guitar, guitar. Asheton is one of the most underrated and overlooked guitar players in history. The title track 'Raw Power' may be the best song on the album, maybe thats why they decided to name the album after it. Great lyrics, and very catchy. Once again the piano is great. Not very complicated or fancy or anything but it fits the song perfectly. The Stooges are known for using instruments in songs that you wouldnt normaly expect to hear them in. But when they do it works somehow. 'I Need Somebody' is a personal favorite. Nice and slow blues number with mostly acoustic guitars. Very cool, very Velvet Underground/Lou Reed esq. Easily one of the top three songs the band ever recorded. Okay, 'Shake Appeal' is without a doubt the best song the band ever made in my opinion. Phenominal. Amazing guitar riff, lyrics, delivery, the entire package is great. This song best describes The Stooges and what they stood for. If you were to only hear one Iggy Pop And The Stooges song in your life, 'Shake Appeal' would be the one to hear. Fantastic is all you can say about it. 'Death Trip' is a lot like the title track 'Raw Power.' It is a great way to end the album because it is a great song but nothing about really sets it apart from the rest of the album other then the extended guitar solo and that it is the last song on the album.
If you were to own one punk album in your life or even just hear one, I must say this is the one to hear or own. It is the best, and the one that inspired almost every punk band ever. Don't let the shoddy production shy you away, the music overcomes that, and now the remastered version despite what purists may say it does sound better and really inhances the albums overall quality. Raw Power is one of those rare moments in rock n' roll history that shouldn't be missed or past up by anyone. This was the last Stooges album for almost thirty years and boy did they go out with a bang. Brilliant!
This is 3 chord rock and there is nothing special about them. With other punk/garage bands, you heard the same chord progressions and time signatures infinite times but with better recordings.
I like some of Iggy Pop's material but I do not get it with this one. I know that this is regarded as a classic by a lot of critics I just don't get it.
You should stay away because I cannot imagine anybody having repeated listenings of this.
Its got some classics (lust for life, Passenger) and also some lesser-knowns that are very good (sixteen, some wierd sin) also. Iggy is a legend.
JAMES (JIM) NEWELL OSTERBERG A.K.A. IGGY POP will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for not just composing and recording some of Rock's all-time greatest sacred anthems ever, but for his stage antics and raw energy he displays and delivers while he's on stage. Even IGGY'S legendary stage wardrobe's are the real stuff that is made of Rock legend. IGGY POP without a doubt would join the ranks of ALICE COOPER and DAVID BOWIE when it came to giving a real Rock n' Roll stage show. When Iggy's on stage, he like a man possessed and does things on stage that not even THE SEX PISTOLS' Johnny Rotten would even dare to do. IGGY POP will also forever be remembered for being the true genuine original GODFATHER OF PUNK. IGGY POP was performing Punk Rock long before THE RAMONES, THE SEX PISTOLS or even THE CLASH came around on the scene. These legendary bands would indeed owe a great deal of respect and gratitude to IGGY especially since IGGY wrote the rules as to how a frontman or frontwoman would conduct his or herself on stage. Everything that you can possibly ever imagine a frontman doing on stage, believe me when I say to all of you today that IGGY has done it all and beyond. Extraordinary examples are witnessing IGGY deeply cut himself all over his chest with a blade while he has this incredible way of lunging forward and falling on his chest and at the same time, grab the bottom of the microphone without hitting or bashing his head on the floor. If you were to see IGGY in action, you would never believe it. IGGY POP has been recording and releasing great albums along with entertaining sell-out audiences the world over with his spectacular stage shows since 1969. His most memorable band is THE STOOGES with whom he originally gained his worldwide fame and stage reputation as a Punk Rocker to be dealt with. Which now brings me to this legendary anthology album I'm about to review for all of you today. "A MILLION IN PRIZES, IGGY POP, THE ANTHOLOGY" chronicles and highlights the many hit songs that IGGY POP delivered to world throughout his incredible career. In my opinion, this legendary anthology album is without a doubt, a true testament of the brilliance and musical creativity of a masterminded genius. This legendary compilation album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary frontman that was truly indeed, far ahead of his time. This album is the tales in the life and times of IGGY POP, his music is his story that speaks for itself.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MUSIC SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD! It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of IGGY POP to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically as IGGY truly intended for it to be listened to and heard. "A MILLION IN PRIZES, IGGY POP, THE ANTHOLOGY" from 2005 begins on DISC ONE with the explosive a*s kicking Punk Rocker "1969," the static guitar blasting and a*s kicking Punk Rocker "No Fun," the reverbing whining guitar and a*s kicking Punk Rocker "I Wanna Be Your Dog," the blistering Punk Rocker "Down On The Street," the merciless a*s kicking Punk Rocker "I Got A Right," the incredible and limitless energetic a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Gimme Some Skin," the slow teaser that erupts into a fast a*s kicking Rock n' Roll explosion unimaginable, "I'm Sick Of You," the breathtaking a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Search And Destroy," the amazing acoustic turned electric a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Gimme Danger," another a*s kicking blistering Punk Rocker "Raw Power," the extraordinary a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Kill City," the slow synthesized special effects Punk Rocker "Nightclubbing," the synthesized a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Funtime," the a*s kicking Punk Rockin' version that was also recorded by DAVID BOWIE, "China Girl," the slow but powerful Punk Rocker "Sister Midnight," the slow turned fast paced synthesized Punk Rocker "Tonight," the loud a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Success," the vibrant a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Lust For Life" and the groundbreaking Punk Rocker "The Passenger." END OF DISC ONE.
DISC TWO begins right where DISC ONE left off with the a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Some Weird Sin," the incredible sounding Punk Rocker "I'm Bored," the in your face Punk Rocker "I Need More," the 50's sounding a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Pleasure," the dark sounding Punk Rocker "Run Like A Villian," the synthesized BOWIE sounding Punk Rocker "Cry For Love," the forever IGGY POP stamped trademark synthesized Punk Rock anthem "Real Wild Child (Wild One)," the explosive a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Cold Metal," the mind blowing a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Home," the beautifully slow smooth turned fast paced Punk Rocker sung with KATE PIERSON, "Candy," the upbeated a*s kicking Punk Rocker sung with Deborah Harry, "Well, Did You Evah!," the merciless a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Wild America," the blistering previously unreleased a*s kicking live version of "T.V. Eye," another a*s kicking previously unreleased live version of "Loose," the beautifully slow electric acoustic turned slow electric Punk Rocker "Look Away," the tough and rugged Punk Rocker "Corruption," the slow and mysterious mild Punk Rocker performed with MEDESKI MARTIN + WOOD, "I Felt The Luxury," the bass pounding and a*s kicking electric Punk Rocker "Mask" and the unbelieveable a*s kicking DAVID BOWIE sounding Punk Rock anthem "Skull Ring." END OF DISC TWO. May I also add that all of the musicians that backed up IGGY and contributed their unique style and blend of music during these incredible recording sessions were performing to their fullest potential and beyond their call of duty. IGGY's lead vocals were nothing but incredible. Listening to all of these legendary hit songs, IGGY's voice has a rare blend of Mick Jagger and David Bowie. IGGY'S vocals were definitely on fire while laying down the vocal tracks during all of these recording sessions. I have to commend them all on a great job well done.
I would like to highly recommend this legendary anthology album for everyone of all ages to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. You may also want to research further into and check out the many other IGGY POP greatest hits compilation albums as well as his previously released studio albums. In doing this, you will have found the ultimate album that is right for you and suits your music tastes and needs. You will also realize that you have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal IGGY POP music collection. If possible, you should also check out IGGY POP'S live concert performances on DVD, it will leave you breathless. You can do all of your researches and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store.
In closing, IGGY POP has successfully continued in releasing great albums along with touring and performing to sell-out audiences the world over up to this very day. IGGY POP has bluntly acknowledged that he will do ANYTHING on stage just to grab the audience's attention. IGGY'S fans adore him for it and displays their very own approval in the audience as a result. When you think about it, its the fans that keep IGGY POP breathing and carrying on living. The fans flow through IGGY POP's blood and veins resulting in IGGY to show his true emotions on stage. IGGY POP LOVES AND NEEDS THE STAGE. With this in mind, it is safe to say that IGGY POP is here to stay and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. And because of this, IGGY POP has forever left his place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and his many contributions, accomplishments and achievements will never be forgotten. Knowing IGGY, he's still not about ready to rest on his laurels just yet. There will also be many new tales and stories in the IGGY POP legend and legacy that would still need to be told and written in many pages and chapters. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further more about it at a later date. So here's to you Jim, A.K.A Iggy. Thanks for the great memories and moments with many more still yet to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. IGGY POP RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.
Disc 2 is revelry smothered by cliches. The first few tracks on the disc have homogenous production values that make all the songs sorta blend into each other. The cod-Bill Idol phase (from the Blah Blah Blah album) is rather amusing, since the slick production makes Iggy seem like the glossiest rebel ever (and that's not a bad thing). After that, however, tracks like Cold Metal and the like reveal a complacency characterized by yelling over the most contribed riffs. Nothing special. The latter tracks share one thing: bloody awful production values. These sound like they were recorded in a Third World radio station's maintenace closet in 1965. At least the live tracks (re-hashes of Fun House tunes) revive the raw aggression of the Stooges.
I'd say that forking over the extra dough to get this set, when you could get the one disc compilation, seems rather extreme. Just get the 1996 compilation and then buy all three Stooges albums. If you're really curious, get Iggy's late 70s albums and Blah Blah Blah. And that's about it. It's not plausible that you'll be tempted to delve into most of his 90s work.
Roughly divided up into the four eras of Stooges-fronting, Bowie-befriending, 1980s commerciality and 1990s icon(oclast), the double disc package A Million In Prizes fulfils the obligation of presenting Iggy as an enigmatic, genre-hopping artist whose successes have been often down to savvy collaborations. Early Stooges tracks Search And Destroy and 1969 set the bar high for where the trailer park kid could go, but after The Stooges' 1973 post-Raw Power split, the helping hands of David Bowie, Jimmy Webb and even members of The Sex Pistols assisted Pop in his sonic travels. Early solo track Nightclubbing, the slamming beat of Lust For Life and the amusing Iggy drawl of I'm Bored show an artist keen on probing styles far removed from the primordial rock sounds he'd worked on with The Stooges only a few years before.
While Bowie's shadow looms large at the midpoint of this collection during the pair's Berlin recording period, by the time of his 1980s chart successes with Real Wild Child and the Steve Jones co-write Cry For Love, Pop had shown he was no mere pet project for Bowie. With the beautiful Candy (surely the single of 1990, if not the greatest duet ever), the Debbie Harry allegiance Well, Did You Evah? and the neatly cyclical reformation of The Stooges for Skull Ring, A Million In Prizes complements Iggy's sizeable manhood by being a similarly lengthy and exciting package. Here comes Johnny Yen again - rest assured, Pop rocks.
I've also always loved Soldier album by him and it's the same for that. He just plays Dog Food from there, granted, one of the finest songs, lyrically, of all time. Still, it's quite odd to me that of all his non STOOGES albums he'd do so few of his great genuine hits from these two albums.
Here's the songs I think continue to stand the test of time:
2. New Values 3. Girls 4. I'm Bored 7. Five Foot One 11. African Man and 12. Billy Is A Runaway. He is in great voice for this album. (I love) Girls and I'm Bored are, to me, two of the great songs, by anybody. Both lyrically and in the powerful way he delivers a full bodied pop song. The other four songs are also great with topics one rarely hears addressed in music as well as well crafted songs musically.
Tell Me A Story 8. How Do Ya Fix A Broken Heart 9. Angel 5. Don't Look Back Down 6. The Endless Sea 10. Curiosity
These are good songs. I enjoy them but don't consider them Iggy classics.
I'll admit, I don't own this CD as I have not heard these two bonus trax. 13. Chains 14. Pretty Flamingo.
However, I've owned the album since the late 70's and truely consider it to be a keeper, still. I think Iggy has one of the great voices along with (don't judge me, this is strictly vocal quality): FRANK SINATRA, BARBARA STRIESAND and HR (of BAD BRAINS). Yup. And IGGY's one of the four great ones. No question. Course, most of Striesand's music is hokey, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have an amazing voice. Iggy, on the other hand, combines an astoundingly strong voice with adventursome music that only occasionally disappoints, certainly on these two albums. If yer only going to own two Iggy records from his non STOOGES work, these are definitely the two to own, if you ask me. chrisbct@hotmail.com
It seems Bowie's hand helped Iggy on other efforts, though Bowie was known to borrow as much as he gave. The Bowie covers of Pop cowrites are always interesting.
Iggy Pop just never found a commercial niche, though frankly he seems to have made several attempts, but his talents show on this simple forgotten work.
Be that as it may, they included a few Stooges tracks here... but the first half of the cd is pretty much disposable.
It gets better after, and including, 'Real Wild Child'. That's when Iggy tried to be Bowie, who is another useless blight on the landscape of rock'n'roll. Bowie, like others of limited talent, kept reinventing his "image" because that's ALL he could sell to a gullible public. He had NO talent for music whatsoever. Iggy is pretty much the same. He resorts to exposing his genitals on stage, and he only has credibilty with overly simplistic village idiots. Mr. Pop even made an album called, quite appropriately, "The Idiot".
There are about half a dozen half-decent tracks on this compilation but all-in-all, it's one big yawn. Buy it if you are not too bright. I mean, they say "A fool and his money are soon parted."...why should YOU break that cycle??
He was hyper and screamed. so what? So does my two year old son.
How wrong I was. Instead, by sequencing these 17 songs in chronological order, "Nude & Rude" just provides a handy step-by-step guide for charting Iggy Pop's mortifying decline from Detroit wildman to crapola alt-rock crooner. Some of these songs are outright embarrassing. "Kill City" borders on arena rock parody, and "Home"--the second single of Iggy's comeback "Brick by Brick"--is excrutiating. Listening to Iggy croon "home boy, home boy" is agony. The folky duet "Candy" is still a guilty pleasure, but "Real Wild Child"--arguably the biggest hit of Iggy's career--has fittingly become the theme song of Carnival Cruise Lines, where middle-aged porkers saddle up at all-you-can-eat buffet, before enjoying Kathie Lee Gifford on the ledo deck.
Some of the best songs here are still the one's David Bowie wrote. "Lust for Life", "Nightclubbing", and "China Girl" all hold up nicely as perfect pop songs. Ironically, however, it's Bowie's mediocre mix of "Search & Destroy" and "Gimme Danger" present here, instead of the far superior remix that Iggy issued later.
I also might've held on to this disk if it had my favorite Iggy track "Repo Man" which should've been in this collection. Alas, it's not and I just can't be bothered with the rest. I guess I'll just go get the "Repo Man" soundtrack which is far more enjoyable than this dreck. =)
The only real drawback to this outstanding album is that the production on some of the songs does sound a bit dated. "Dog Food," for example, contains a powerful riff and a great lyric, but the backing track hasn't really stood the test of time.
This album contains some really infectious hooks - which is not surprising considering he had Glen Matlock (who wrote almost all the best Sex Pistols tunes) in the band. "Take Care Of Me" is just plain gorgeous - it sounds like the kind of punky, edgy track that Bowie would have been proud to write.
You've got rockers, like "Knocking "em Down In the City"; slower, more sinister numbers like "I Need More" and "Mr. Dynamite"; pure weird fun like "Get Up and Get Out" and "I'm A Conservative"; and prime Iggy vitriol (most notably on "I Snub You") throughout.
The only thing this is missing is a bonus live disc like the reissue of Zombie Birdhouse. But on its own merits, this album holds its own - an Iggy classic, a "new-wave" classic, and just a rollicking good time.
1. Knocking 'Em Down (In The City) 6. Take Care Of Me 10. Play It Safe 7. I Need More These four songs are great songs. Not the masterpieces the other three are but way better than most of the songs on most other people's albums. The first three are like Iggy anthems of how he lives, or aspires to. Naked emotionally and vocally.
4. Get Up And Get Out 5. Ambition 8. Loco Mosquito 9. Mr Dynamite. I don't consider these songs to be essential but I sure listen to them when playing the full album. Nice.
I actually purchased this CD from amazon.com and am glad I got to hear these two additional songs. You can see they could have fit on the original album nicely. Definitely worth not kicking out of bed. 12. Low Life 13. Drop A Hook
New Values and Soldier. Take the finest songs from each of them and they make the single best album Iggy ever did. chrisbct@hotmail.com
This record started out for me as something new; nothing more.
Every single day since then, I have listened to it at least twice.
Like I said, pointless to write too much.
This would be a good thing if there was good reason to believe that the WM 3 really were framed for a crime that they commit. Problem is the pro-WM 3 material on this CD contains many factual errors and fails to make a persuasive case to believe in the innocence of the WM 3.
If you want to listen to this good music, then the thing to do is to look for it at your local public library, secondhand music shop or borrow it from a friend. Don't let your good money go to support a bad cause like the West Memphis 3.
This is not for fans of ignorance or complacency in any of its forms. Certainly NOT for fans who think Henry Rollins is just trying to "free convicted murderers." And certainly NOT for fans who think that people who read Stephen King books are all Satanic killers.
Watch the "Paradise Lost" HBO documentaries, read "Devil's Knot" and "Blood of Innocents" and form educated opinions. Don't impugn Rollins or any of these musicians for having higher standards for OUR legal system and wanting to make sure we have the truth. When three people are convicted on hearsay and circumstantial evidence and one is sentenced to death, you can expect people from all over the country to take notice and want to get involved, because some of us still believe in justice and the separation of church and state. Anything less is un-American.
This is Henry Rollins' attempt to raise money for the truth, whatever it may be. Rollins told one victim's family as much. If the WM3 are proven guilty, at least we will have more to rely on than hearsay and Satanic Panic (you know, like actual, concrete evidence, which has been absent from this case since the start). The phrase "innocent until proven guilty" simply does not apply to this case. The prosecution proved nothing, except that West Memphis, Arkansas is a place free-thinking people probably shouldn't visit. Pardon the rest of America for thinking Metallica CDs aren't quite enough to prove someone is a murderer.
This is a great effort on the part of all the musicians involved, and it proves that ignorance still has opposition in America.
If I'm gonna die here, first I'm gonna make some noise...~
1.Shocker(10/10)The title track kicks major ass.Paul Stanly(of kiss)on vocals, Vivian Campbell(of Dio and Whitesnake)on guitar, Rudy Sarzo(of M.A.R.S. and Whitesnake)on Bass, and Tommy Lee(Motley Crue)on drums.This song will blow you away.
2.Love Transfusion(10/10)Another great metal song.Iggy Pop on vocals, Guy Mann Dude and John McCurry on guitars among many others involved.
3.No More Mr Nice Guy(1/10)Megadeath sucks on this one.Megadeath ruined this song.Horrible job.Their a good band on their own, but they're suckin all over the place on this one.Shame on you Megadeath!
4.Sword and Stone(9/10)great song performed by Bonfire.Excellent job.This one was written by Bruce Kulick(of Kiss).
5.Timeless Love(9/10)A great love ballad.If you want a ballad dine right 80's style this is a good one!Performed by Saraya.They do a fine job.Their first self titled release is worth buying.This song is just a sample of what the can do.
6.Shockdance(4/10)Pretty bad song, but it is so bad it's actually funny to listen to because of the rap(Pinker he's a stinker)Ha Ha Ha!Alice Cooper does the vocal work!
7.Demon Bell(10/10)This is the best song Dangerous Toys ever performed.A killer tune.Love the Guitar riffs!
8.The Awakening(6/10)Not a bad song.Pretty decent metal tune performed by Voodoo X.
9.Different Breed(3/10)Pretty horrible song by this loser band called Dead On.More like Dead End which is what they came to!
10.Shocker(reprise)7/10)Continuation of te chorus line at the end of the first song.
is the song, The Awakening by a band called Voodoo X. Very, Very Cool Tune. Another stand out is Sword and Stone by Bonfire, Demon Bell by Dangerous Toys. The title track has some various artist on it. Definately a good cd if you like the 80's metal scene, as i do. But definately check out The Awakening by Voodoo X.

Iggy's torturous, red-lined remix puts the claws, violence, and danger back in grooves first cut in '73 (and supposedly botched in David Bowie's far more tame--and somewhat more listenable--original mix). Result: Sublime Motor City mayhem. --Jeff BatemanAlbum Description
Limited edition reissue, in a digipak, of the band's historic 1973 album. The booklet features extensive sleeve notes, including an interview with Iggy. Eight tracks, including 'Search And Destroy', 'Penetration' and 'Raw Power'.Album Details

Some really good tracks, liked earlier Stooges better.......2007-07-25
Raw Power!.......2007-04-24
If you were to make a list of the one hundred greatest albums of all time Raw Power by Iggy And The Stooges would easily be in teh top ten, maybe even in the top five. No other album in the history of rock n' roll has captured a moment in time so perfectly, and brutaly. 1973, music was changing, things were not so happy an more, the 1960's were long gone, and rebellion was begining to rear its head once again as it did in 1953. A new nature was coming, a new style, a new attitude. Punk took the thoughts of the 1960's and gave them actions. Iggy And The Stooges put that on display for the entire world to see with Raw Power.
'Search And Destroy,' one of the single greatest moments in music history opens this historic album. With guitar from another planet and a swagger to match Ron Asheton and Iggy Pop created one of the most anialating songs in history. 'Search And Destroy' has been cited by many punk legends as the moment they changed the way they thought about music. 'Gimme Danger' which is another killer song. Some Iggy Pops best vocals can be heard here. Part acoustic, part electric 'Gimme Danger' is one of the best songs Iggy ever lent his name to. Its so dark and dangerous, no pun intended. This is one of those rare songs that is just so good it cant be described in words because it must be heard to fully appreciate. 'Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell' which was originaly called 'Hard To Beat' is another yet killer song. Only Iggy would have the nerve to rename a song thirty some years after it was first released to the world. One of the best guitar riffs I have ever heard is in this song. Superb. Fast, loud, unapologetic, and ferocious. All the makings of a excellent song. 'Penetration' has the coolest piano work ever. Simply Amazing. A very sexy song, which Im sure was what Iggy was going for. The lyrics are the most unattractive thing ever but the bands overall performance makes the song very sexy. Very slow, and slimy. This song is reminicent of 'Loose' from the Fun House album. Once again guitar, guitar, guitar. Asheton is one of the most underrated and overlooked guitar players in history. The title track 'Raw Power' may be the best song on the album, maybe thats why they decided to name the album after it. Great lyrics, and very catchy. Once again the piano is great. Not very complicated or fancy or anything but it fits the song perfectly. The Stooges are known for using instruments in songs that you wouldnt normaly expect to hear them in. But when they do it works somehow. 'I Need Somebody' is a personal favorite. Nice and slow blues number with mostly acoustic guitars. Very cool, very Velvet Underground/Lou Reed esq. Easily one of the top three songs the band ever recorded. Okay, 'Shake Appeal' is without a doubt the best song the band ever made in my opinion. Phenominal. Amazing guitar riff, lyrics, delivery, the entire package is great. This song best describes The Stooges and what they stood for. If you were to only hear one Iggy Pop And The Stooges song in your life, 'Shake Appeal' would be the one to hear. Fantastic is all you can say about it. 'Death Trip' is a lot like the title track 'Raw Power.' It is a great way to end the album because it is a great song but nothing about really sets it apart from the rest of the album other then the extended guitar solo and that it is the last song on the album.
If you were to own one punk album in your life or even just hear one, I must say this is the one to hear or own. It is the best, and the one that inspired almost every punk band ever. Don't let the shoddy production shy you away, the music overcomes that, and now the remastered version despite what purists may say it does sound better and really inhances the albums overall quality. Raw Power is one of those rare moments in rock n' roll history that shouldn't be missed or past up by anyone. This was the last Stooges album for almost thirty years and boy did they go out with a bang. Brilliant!

Why the Hype?.......2007-01-10
STAY AWAY BECAUSE IT IS NOT A QUALITY PRODUCT.......2007-01-08
This is 3 chord rock and there is nothing special about them. With other punk/garage bands, you heard the same chord progressions and time signatures infinite times but with better recordings.
I like some of Iggy Pop's material but I do not get it with this one. I know that this is regarded as a classic by a lot of critics I just don't get it.
You should stay away because I cannot imagine anybody having repeated listenings of this.

The relentless, driving drums and thunderous bass of the opening title track are the magic components that make it the best song Iggy Pop ever recorded without the Stooges. They're also why this is Iggy's best solo album--which also includes the ominously upbeat "The Passenger," with its hilariously ennui-filled, sing-along chorus ("La la la la la la la la la..."). As with Pop's first solo album, The Idiot, David Bowie has his hands all over the proceedings (if not somewhere else as well) as the producer, songwriter, and general overseer of Iggy the popstar. The record reached 28 on the U.K. charts. Of course, as the jagged, dark guitars on "Sixteen" and "Neighborhood Threat" make clear, Iggy's version of pop music is anything but conventional, and anything but bland. "Some Weird Sin" ("That's what I want...") could have been Iggy's theme song in 1977, heavy with innuendo and a dangerous joie de vivre. --Percy KeeganAmazon.com

Spanning the punk and garage rock globe--from snot-nosed trailer-park kid fronting the legendary Stooges to universal pop culture icon and influential granddaddy of punk--the career of Iggy Pop has reached its fifth decade, and this remastered 37-track, chronologically sequenced set has been christened to hold us over while we wait for the definitive box set. Commencing with "1969," "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "No Fun" from the Stooges' trailblazing debut album, the first disc provides a ringside seat to the band's keg-of-dynamite demise Raw Power ("Search and Destroy," "Gimme Danger," and the title track, though omitting the spellbinding "Shake Appeal"), the David Bowie-led Pop restoration ("Nightclubbing," "China Girl") and Iggy's solo pinnacle ("Lust for Life," "The Passenger"). While the second CD is patchy (spotting synthesizers for guitars too often) and erratic (missing notable songs from the Soldier and Party albums), it does include duets with Debbie Harry ("Well Did you Evah") and the B-52s Kate Pierson ("Candy"), 1993 live versions of the Stooges "TV Eye" and "Loose," and the first Stooges studio partnership in 30 years, "Skull Ring." --Scott HolterAmazon.com

A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE GODFATHER OF PUNK THAT HAS DONE IT ALL! .......2007-07-09
JAMES (JIM) NEWELL OSTERBERG A.K.A. IGGY POP will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for not just composing and recording some of Rock's all-time greatest sacred anthems ever, but for his stage antics and raw energy he displays and delivers while he's on stage. Even IGGY'S legendary stage wardrobe's are the real stuff that is made of Rock legend. IGGY POP without a doubt would join the ranks of ALICE COOPER and DAVID BOWIE when it came to giving a real Rock n' Roll stage show. When Iggy's on stage, he like a man possessed and does things on stage that not even THE SEX PISTOLS' Johnny Rotten would even dare to do. IGGY POP will also forever be remembered for being the true genuine original GODFATHER OF PUNK. IGGY POP was performing Punk Rock long before THE RAMONES, THE SEX PISTOLS or even THE CLASH came around on the scene. These legendary bands would indeed owe a great deal of respect and gratitude to IGGY especially since IGGY wrote the rules as to how a frontman or frontwoman would conduct his or herself on stage. Everything that you can possibly ever imagine a frontman doing on stage, believe me when I say to all of you today that IGGY has done it all and beyond. Extraordinary examples are witnessing IGGY deeply cut himself all over his chest with a blade while he has this incredible way of lunging forward and falling on his chest and at the same time, grab the bottom of the microphone without hitting or bashing his head on the floor. If you were to see IGGY in action, you would never believe it. IGGY POP has been recording and releasing great albums along with entertaining sell-out audiences the world over with his spectacular stage shows since 1969. His most memorable band is THE STOOGES with whom he originally gained his worldwide fame and stage reputation as a Punk Rocker to be dealt with. Which now brings me to this legendary anthology album I'm about to review for all of you today. "A MILLION IN PRIZES, IGGY POP, THE ANTHOLOGY" chronicles and highlights the many hit songs that IGGY POP delivered to world throughout his incredible career. In my opinion, this legendary anthology album is without a doubt, a true testament of the brilliance and musical creativity of a masterminded genius. This legendary compilation album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary frontman that was truly indeed, far ahead of his time. This album is the tales in the life and times of IGGY POP, his music is his story that speaks for itself.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MUSIC SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD! It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of IGGY POP to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically as IGGY truly intended for it to be listened to and heard. "A MILLION IN PRIZES, IGGY POP, THE ANTHOLOGY" from 2005 begins on DISC ONE with the explosive a*s kicking Punk Rocker "1969," the static guitar blasting and a*s kicking Punk Rocker "No Fun," the reverbing whining guitar and a*s kicking Punk Rocker "I Wanna Be Your Dog," the blistering Punk Rocker "Down On The Street," the merciless a*s kicking Punk Rocker "I Got A Right," the incredible and limitless energetic a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Gimme Some Skin," the slow teaser that erupts into a fast a*s kicking Rock n' Roll explosion unimaginable, "I'm Sick Of You," the breathtaking a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Search And Destroy," the amazing acoustic turned electric a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Gimme Danger," another a*s kicking blistering Punk Rocker "Raw Power," the extraordinary a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Kill City," the slow synthesized special effects Punk Rocker "Nightclubbing," the synthesized a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Funtime," the a*s kicking Punk Rockin' version that was also recorded by DAVID BOWIE, "China Girl," the slow but powerful Punk Rocker "Sister Midnight," the slow turned fast paced synthesized Punk Rocker "Tonight," the loud a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Success," the vibrant a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Lust For Life" and the groundbreaking Punk Rocker "The Passenger." END OF DISC ONE.
DISC TWO begins right where DISC ONE left off with the a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Some Weird Sin," the incredible sounding Punk Rocker "I'm Bored," the in your face Punk Rocker "I Need More," the 50's sounding a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Pleasure," the dark sounding Punk Rocker "Run Like A Villian," the synthesized BOWIE sounding Punk Rocker "Cry For Love," the forever IGGY POP stamped trademark synthesized Punk Rock anthem "Real Wild Child (Wild One)," the explosive a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Cold Metal," the mind blowing a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Home," the beautifully slow smooth turned fast paced Punk Rocker sung with KATE PIERSON, "Candy," the upbeated a*s kicking Punk Rocker sung with Deborah Harry, "Well, Did You Evah!," the merciless a*s kicking Punk Rocker "Wild America," the blistering previously unreleased a*s kicking live version of "T.V. Eye," another a*s kicking previously unreleased live version of "Loose," the beautifully slow electric acoustic turned slow electric Punk Rocker "Look Away," the tough and rugged Punk Rocker "Corruption," the slow and mysterious mild Punk Rocker performed with MEDESKI MARTIN + WOOD, "I Felt The Luxury," the bass pounding and a*s kicking electric Punk Rocker "Mask" and the unbelieveable a*s kicking DAVID BOWIE sounding Punk Rock anthem "Skull Ring." END OF DISC TWO. May I also add that all of the musicians that backed up IGGY and contributed their unique style and blend of music during these incredible recording sessions were performing to their fullest potential and beyond their call of duty. IGGY's lead vocals were nothing but incredible. Listening to all of these legendary hit songs, IGGY's voice has a rare blend of Mick Jagger and David Bowie. IGGY'S vocals were definitely on fire while laying down the vocal tracks during all of these recording sessions. I have to commend them all on a great job well done.
I would like to highly recommend this legendary anthology album for everyone of all ages to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. You may also want to research further into and check out the many other IGGY POP greatest hits compilation albums as well as his previously released studio albums. In doing this, you will have found the ultimate album that is right for you and suits your music tastes and needs. You will also realize that you have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal IGGY POP music collection. If possible, you should also check out IGGY POP'S live concert performances on DVD, it will leave you breathless. You can do all of your researches and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store.
In closing, IGGY POP has successfully continued in releasing great albums along with touring and performing to sell-out audiences the world over up to this very day. IGGY POP has bluntly acknowledged that he will do ANYTHING on stage just to grab the audience's attention. IGGY'S fans adore him for it and displays their very own approval in the audience as a result. When you think about it, its the fans that keep IGGY POP breathing and carrying on living. The fans flow through IGGY POP's blood and veins resulting in IGGY to show his true emotions on stage. IGGY POP LOVES AND NEEDS THE STAGE. With this in mind, it is safe to say that IGGY POP is here to stay and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. And because of this, IGGY POP has forever left his place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and his many contributions, accomplishments and achievements will never be forgotten. Knowing IGGY, he's still not about ready to rest on his laurels just yet. There will also be many new tales and stories in the IGGY POP legend and legacy that would still need to be told and written in many pages and chapters. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further more about it at a later date. So here's to you Jim, A.K.A Iggy. Thanks for the great memories and moments with many more still yet to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. IGGY POP RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.
Creative Anger Followed By Regular Anger.......2006-11-15
Disc 2 is revelry smothered by cliches. The first few tracks on the disc have homogenous production values that make all the songs sorta blend into each other. The cod-Bill Idol phase (from the Blah Blah Blah album) is rather amusing, since the slick production makes Iggy seem like the glossiest rebel ever (and that's not a bad thing). After that, however, tracks like Cold Metal and the like reveal a complacency characterized by yelling over the most contribed riffs. Nothing special. The latter tracks share one thing: bloody awful production values. These sound like they were recorded in a Third World radio station's maintenace closet in 1965. At least the live tracks (re-hashes of Fun House tunes) revive the raw aggression of the Stooges.
I'd say that forking over the extra dough to get this set, when you could get the one disc compilation, seems rather extreme. Just get the 1996 compilation and then buy all three Stooges albums. If you're really curious, get Iggy's late 70s albums and Blah Blah Blah. And that's about it. It's not plausible that you'll be tempted to delve into most of his 90s work.

Roughly divided up into the four eras of Stooges-fronting, Bowie-befriending, 1980s commerciality and 1990s icon(oclast), the double disc package A Million In Prizes fulfils the obligation of presenting Iggy as an enigmatic, genre-hopping artist whose successes have been often down to savvy collaborations. Early Stooges tracks Search And Destroy and 1969 set the bar high for where the trailer park kid could go, but after The Stooges' 1973 post-Raw Power split, the helping hands of David Bowie, Jimmy Webb and even members of The Sex Pistols assisted Pop in his sonic travels. Early solo track Nightclubbing, the slamming beat of Lust For Life and the amusing Iggy drawl of I'm Bored show an artist keen on probing styles far removed from the primordial rock sounds he'd worked on with The Stooges only a few years before.
While Bowie's shadow looms large at the midpoint of this collection during the pair's Berlin recording period, by the time of his 1980s chart successes with Real Wild Child and the Steve Jones co-write Cry For Love, Pop had shown he was no mere pet project for Bowie. With the beautiful Candy (surely the single of 1990, if not the greatest duet ever), the Debbie Harry allegiance Well, Did You Evah? and the neatly cyclical reformation of The Stooges for Skull Ring, A Million In Prizes complements Iggy's sizeable manhood by being a similarly lengthy and exciting package. Here comes Johnny Yen again - rest assured, Pop rocks.

After several years of hard living and the commercial disappointment of his previous band the Stooges (occasional rave reviews do not keep the lights on), Iggy Pop continued his collaboration with David Bowie for his first solo album. Bowie serves as producer and cowriter, and his artsy, stylized hand can be felt negotiating the sessions. Unlike the explosive firepower of the Stooges, The Idiot centers on a moody, sometimes funky vibe that reflects the decadent aura of Berlin, where this album was recorded--and where Pop and Bowie attempted to tame their excesses. "China Girl" has since gone on to become a standard in both of their repertoires. However, it's Pop's mix of eerie nonchalance and passionate screams that defines the song. Tracks such as "Nightclubbing" and "Dum Dum Boys" are surprisingly subdued for Pop considering the subject matter. This is essentially Pop taking baby steps back into the world-at-large after years of self-abuse. --Rob O'ConnorAmazon.com

Excellent.......2006-03-18
At least 6 all time classic IGGY songs. He almost never plays 'em live either?.......2006-03-12
I've also always loved Soldier album by him and it's the same for that. He just plays Dog Food from there, granted, one of the finest songs, lyrically, of all time. Still, it's quite odd to me that of all his non STOOGES albums he'd do so few of his great genuine hits from these two albums.
Here's the songs I think continue to stand the test of time:
2. New Values 3. Girls 4. I'm Bored 7. Five Foot One 11. African Man and 12. Billy Is A Runaway. He is in great voice for this album. (I love) Girls and I'm Bored are, to me, two of the great songs, by anybody. Both lyrically and in the powerful way he delivers a full bodied pop song. The other four songs are also great with topics one rarely hears addressed in music as well as well crafted songs musically.
Tell Me A Story 8. How Do Ya Fix A Broken Heart 9. Angel 5. Don't Look Back Down 6. The Endless Sea 10. Curiosity
These are good songs. I enjoy them but don't consider them Iggy classics.
I'll admit, I don't own this CD as I have not heard these two bonus trax. 13. Chains 14. Pretty Flamingo.
However, I've owned the album since the late 70's and truely consider it to be a keeper, still. I think Iggy has one of the great voices along with (don't judge me, this is strictly vocal quality): FRANK SINATRA, BARBARA STRIESAND and HR (of BAD BRAINS). Yup. And IGGY's one of the four great ones. No question. Course, most of Striesand's music is hokey, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have an amazing voice. Iggy, on the other hand, combines an astoundingly strong voice with adventursome music that only occasionally disappoints, certainly on these two albums. If yer only going to own two Iggy records from his non STOOGES work, these are definitely the two to own, if you ask me. chrisbct@hotmail.com

It seems Bowie's hand helped Iggy on other efforts, though Bowie was known to borrow as much as he gave. The Bowie covers of Pop cowrites are always interesting.
Iggy Pop just never found a commercial niche, though frankly he seems to have made several attempts, but his talents show on this simple forgotten work.

Distilling Iggy Pop's work down to 17 songs is nearly impossible. Anyone with an interest in Mr. Pop should first pick up the Stooges albums before exploring his later solo years. This collection, however, includes enough highlights to satisfy a casual fan. The Stooges are lightly covered with the essential punk anthem "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the manic "Search and Destroy." The inclusion of the slinking "Sick of You" is a nice touch. Pop's pop leanings pop up with "Nightclubbing," "China Girl," and "Lust for Life," tracks in which the guitars are toned down a notch and Iggy exhibits a slightly more mellow side. Of course, he ultimately returns with a vengeance befitting one of rock's original wild men. --Rob O'ConnorAmazon.com

Iggy at his best!.......2007-05-22
An essential purchase...........2006-06-06
Be that as it may, they included a few Stooges tracks here... but the first half of the cd is pretty much disposable.
It gets better after, and including, 'Real Wild Child'. That's when Iggy tried to be Bowie, who is another useless blight on the landscape of rock'n'roll. Bowie, like others of limited talent, kept reinventing his "image" because that's ALL he could sell to a gullible public. He had NO talent for music whatsoever. Iggy is pretty much the same. He resorts to exposing his genitals on stage, and he only has credibilty with overly simplistic village idiots. Mr. Pop even made an album called, quite appropriately, "The Idiot".
There are about half a dozen half-decent tracks on this compilation but all-in-all, it's one big yawn. Buy it if you are not too bright. I mean, they say "A fool and his money are soon parted."...why should YOU break that cycle??
Overrated........2005-03-17
He was hyper and screamed. so what? So does my two year old son.
embarrassing evidence of how aging causes one to suck.......2005-01-09
How wrong I was. Instead, by sequencing these 17 songs in chronological order, "Nude & Rude" just provides a handy step-by-step guide for charting Iggy Pop's mortifying decline from Detroit wildman to crapola alt-rock crooner. Some of these songs are outright embarrassing. "Kill City" borders on arena rock parody, and "Home"--the second single of Iggy's comeback "Brick by Brick"--is excrutiating. Listening to Iggy croon "home boy, home boy" is agony. The folky duet "Candy" is still a guilty pleasure, but "Real Wild Child"--arguably the biggest hit of Iggy's career--has fittingly become the theme song of Carnival Cruise Lines, where middle-aged porkers saddle up at all-you-can-eat buffet, before enjoying Kathie Lee Gifford on the ledo deck.
Some of the best songs here are still the one's David Bowie wrote. "Lust for Life", "Nightclubbing", and "China Girl" all hold up nicely as perfect pop songs. Ironically, however, it's Bowie's mediocre mix of "Search & Destroy" and "Gimme Danger" present here, instead of the far superior remix that Iggy issued later.
For the most part , this is TRASH.......2004-11-11
I also might've held on to this disk if it had my favorite Iggy track "Repo Man" which should've been in this collection. Alas, it's not and I just can't be bothered with the rest. I guess I'll just go get the "Repo Man" soundtrack which is far more enjoyable than this dreck. =)

4 1/2 stars... Iggy's best.......2006-04-30
The only real drawback to this outstanding album is that the production on some of the songs does sound a bit dated. "Dog Food," for example, contains a powerful riff and a great lyric, but the backing track hasn't really stood the test of time.
This album contains some really infectious hooks - which is not surprising considering he had Glen Matlock (who wrote almost all the best Sex Pistols tunes) in the band. "Take Care Of Me" is just plain gorgeous - it sounds like the kind of punky, edgy track that Bowie would have been proud to write.
You've got rockers, like "Knocking "em Down In the City"; slower, more sinister numbers like "I Need More" and "Mr. Dynamite"; pure weird fun like "Get Up and Get Out" and "I'm A Conservative"; and prime Iggy vitriol (most notably on "I Snub You") throughout.
The only thing this is missing is a bonus live disc like the reissue of Zombie Birdhouse. But on its own merits, this album holds its own - an Iggy classic, a "new-wave" classic, and just a rollicking good time.
3 all time masterpiece songs here, 1 of 2 of Iggy's finest solo albums........2006-03-12
1. Knocking 'Em Down (In The City) 6. Take Care Of Me 10. Play It Safe 7. I Need More These four songs are great songs. Not the masterpieces the other three are but way better than most of the songs on most other people's albums. The first three are like Iggy anthems of how he lives, or aspires to. Naked emotionally and vocally.
4. Get Up And Get Out 5. Ambition 8. Loco Mosquito 9. Mr Dynamite. I don't consider these songs to be essential but I sure listen to them when playing the full album. Nice.
I actually purchased this CD from amazon.com and am glad I got to hear these two additional songs. You can see they could have fit on the original album nicely. Definitely worth not kicking out of bed. 12. Low Life 13. Drop A Hook
New Values and Soldier. Take the finest songs from each of them and they make the single best album Iggy ever did. chrisbct@hotmail.com
One of THOSE albums........2006-01-25
This record started out for me as something new; nothing more.
Every single day since then, I have listened to it at least twice.
Like I said, pointless to write too much.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this album!.......2005-09-01

Holy countercultural confluence! For the cause of fundraising for the defense of a trio of legally bound Arkansas headbangers--one of whom is currently on death row on the basis of hearsay testimony--Henry Rollins has resurrected the sacrosanct songs of his legendary former Los Angeles hardcore band Black Flag. Much as he first joined the popular Flag by jumping on stage and grabbing the microphone, Rollins here assigns lead vocals to a bewildering array of guests, including Iggy Pop, Dean Ween, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Tom Araya of Slayer, Queens of the Stone Age, and Ice T. The Rollins Band convincingly serves as caustic backing band throughout. Protest music godfather Chuck D. of Public Enemy appears as well, though simply to introduce the album. Many of the singers, whether inspired by the cause itself or the muscular caliber of Black Flag's music, deliver the rebellious message with heartfelt intensity. Motorhead leader Lemmy's ripping version of "Thirsty and Miserable" is a stunning highlight, as is Hank Williams III's psychotic "No Values." Former Flag singers Keith Morris and Chuck Dukowski bring their veteran intensity, and Rollins himself shouts "My War," "TV Party," "Black Coffee," "Annihilate This Week," "Slip It In," and the title track. (Flag guitarist-lyricist Greg Ginn is notably absent, though his trademark clear Lucite guitar joins the West Memphis Three defendants on the cover artwork.) The participating musicians' anger and frustration over the West Memphis Three case, which has been detailed in HBO's Paradise Lost documentaries, is well matched with the giant fury of this band. --Ian ChristeCustomer Reviews:
Good Music For A Bad Cause.......2007-03-07
This would be a good thing if there was good reason to believe that the WM 3 really were framed for a crime that they commit. Problem is the pro-WM 3 material on this CD contains many factual errors and fails to make a persuasive case to believe in the innocence of the WM 3.
If you want to listen to this good music, then the thing to do is to look for it at your local public library, secondhand music shop or borrow it from a friend. Don't let your good money go to support a bad cause like the West Memphis 3.
Great Songs, Great Cause!.......2007-02-16
Truth or complacency? The choice is yours........2005-01-23
This is not for fans of ignorance or complacency in any of its forms. Certainly NOT for fans who think Henry Rollins is just trying to "free convicted murderers." And certainly NOT for fans who think that people who read Stephen King books are all Satanic killers.
Watch the "Paradise Lost" HBO documentaries, read "Devil's Knot" and "Blood of Innocents" and form educated opinions. Don't impugn Rollins or any of these musicians for having higher standards for OUR legal system and wanting to make sure we have the truth. When three people are convicted on hearsay and circumstantial evidence and one is sentenced to death, you can expect people from all over the country to take notice and want to get involved, because some of us still believe in justice and the separation of church and state. Anything less is un-American.
This is Henry Rollins' attempt to raise money for the truth, whatever it may be. Rollins told one victim's family as much. If the WM3 are proven guilty, at least we will have more to rely on than hearsay and Satanic Panic (you know, like actual, concrete evidence, which has been absent from this case since the start). The phrase "innocent until proven guilty" simply does not apply to this case. The prosecution proved nothing, except that West Memphis, Arkansas is a place free-thinking people probably shouldn't visit. Pardon the rest of America for thinking Metallica CDs aren't quite enough to prove someone is a murderer.
This is a great effort on the part of all the musicians involved, and it proves that ignorance still has opposition in America.
English as a second language for Americans.......2004-05-31
This a compact disc full of MUSIC, however, and that is the real point here. You can't get much better than this with Henry Rollins being joined by Black Flag alums like Chuck Dukowski and Keith Morris, as well as Hank Williams III (the best REAL country musician working today), Lemmy from Motorhead, Exene from X, Ryan Adams, Tom from Slayer, Nick from Mondo Generator, and plenty more. The music is all provided by Mother Superior, a terriffic caustic rock trio with plenty of CDs of their own out there. They are best known as the Rollins Band, mach II, of course. They became his backing band a few years ago, although this is no longer the case. Henry is set to reveal a new band soon. They tear it up here, and the guitar sound is nearly perfect since the Dan Armstrong guitar donated to the cause was used for the recording, getting close to that classic Greg Ginn sound.
Black Flag are one of the ten most important bands in the history of music, and these songs should not be missed. Check this disc out, then check out some of the original releases for a real lesson in rock and roll.
And check out the Paradise Lost films for a lesson in how easily the US court system can break down when it is allowed to be placed in the hands of ignorant rednecks who don't understand that church and state are required BY LAW to remain separate and distinct.
If the victims in this case were my family, I would want the real killer or killers to be found. I would not want to find the nearest scapegoat and ruin that person (or in this case persons) life. Punishing scapegoats is what the nazis did, isn't it?

If I'm gonna die here, first I'm gonna make some noise...~
Anyone who can write lyrics like this, is ok with me. Iggy, Iggy, Iggy. It's easy to bash this cd, you know, the production values aren't great. But LISTEN TO IT!! Considering he was on "sick leave" from the mental ward, his voice is great. Johanna rates as one of the all-time best "love songs" along with "sell your love." It's Iggy down on the street, and bruising, but no one does it better than he does, IMHO.
I am a huge Iggy fan, and I've followed him around for 20 years. It's not mere *love * it's an addiction. And it hasn't killed me yet. I have ALL his albums- and this is one of my stand-out favourites. great Sunday morning music. Don't give up on it. Give it a listen, and you will understand why he's one of the masters of the underground. He was there, before you were a gleam in your mama's eyes!!
*peace* Diane.

A Real soundtrack that Rocks! Shocker is a 1989 classic!.......2005-03-01
1.Shocker(10/10)The title track kicks major ass.Paul Stanly(of kiss)on vocals, Vivian Campbell(of Dio and Whitesnake)on guitar, Rudy Sarzo(of M.A.R.S. and Whitesnake)on Bass, and Tommy Lee(Motley Crue)on drums.This song will blow you away.
2.Love Transfusion(10/10)Another great metal song.Iggy Pop on vocals, Guy Mann Dude and John McCurry on guitars among many others involved.
3.No More Mr Nice Guy(1/10)Megadeath sucks on this one.Megadeath ruined this song.Horrible job.Their a good band on their own, but they're suckin all over the place on this one.Shame on you Megadeath!
4.Sword and Stone(9/10)great song performed by Bonfire.Excellent job.This one was written by Bruce Kulick(of Kiss).
5.Timeless Love(9/10)A great love ballad.If you want a ballad dine right 80's style this is a good one!Performed by Saraya.They do a fine job.Their first self titled release is worth buying.This song is just a sample of what the can do.
6.Shockdance(4/10)Pretty bad song, but it is so bad it's actually funny to listen to because of the rap(Pinker he's a stinker)Ha Ha Ha!Alice Cooper does the vocal work!
7.Demon Bell(10/10)This is the best song Dangerous Toys ever performed.A killer tune.Love the Guitar riffs!
8.The Awakening(6/10)Not a bad song.Pretty decent metal tune performed by Voodoo X.
9.Different Breed(3/10)Pretty horrible song by this loser band called Dead On.More like Dead End which is what they came to!
10.Shocker(reprise)7/10)Continuation of te chorus line at the end of the first song.
Super soundtrack!.......2004-10-19
For a soundtrack not bad.......2003-12-13
is the song, The Awakening by a band called Voodoo X. Very, Very Cool Tune. Another stand out is Sword and Stone by Bonfire, Demon Bell by Dangerous Toys. The title track has some various artist on it. Definately a good cd if you like the 80's metal scene, as i do. But definately check out The Awakening by Voodoo X.
