Iggy Pop admits that watching Gimme Danger, the forthcoming Stooges documentary directed by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, was an emotional experience. “It was. I’ve only seen it twice,” Pop tells Rolling Stone. “I always wanted it to be where everybody tells the story their way. He tells it his way. I tell it my way. Kathy [Asheton] has her own take. Then, as the thing went on, it starts to gain power and humor. I loved the use of the other visuals to tell the story, like the stick figures with the Caravaggio heads. All the shots of Marlon Brando, Elvis and Lucille Ball.” “I realized I wanted to start in 1973 after they made three of the best rock records that ever existed, and here are the Stooges ages 23, 34 going home to their moms. Scott said, “Yeah, I was sleeping on a floor. I sold my drum kit and I got a bus ticket back to Ann Arbor.” I thought, “I gotta start with that because its heartbreaking.” And then we sort of rebuilt how it all came about, what were the inspirations, where did this come from? Really, it grew from [Iggy] finding them.” Gimme Danger will see a release on October 28. Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
