Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell

Raw Power is the third studio album by American rock band the Stooges (credited as Iggy and the Stooges), released on February 7, 1973 by Columbia Records. The album departed from the "groove-ridden, feel-based songs" of the band's first two records in favor of a more anthemic hard rock approach inspired by new guitarist James Williamson, who co-wrote the album's eight songs with singer Iggy Pop. Though not initially commercially successful, Raw Power gained a cult following in the years following its release and, like its predecessors The Stooges (1969) and Fun House (1970), is considered a forerunner of punk rock. The Guardian wrote that "it has since been acknowledged as one of the most influential records in rock history". The raw guitar sound of Williamson deeply influenced acts of different music genres such as the Sex Pistols, Johnny Marr of the Smiths and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.

Iggy Pop reformed the Stooges in 1972 after receiving a new recording contract through David Bowie's mediation. Mercifully, he had the Asheton brothers play with him again, but Ron had to switch from guitar to bass.

F. Schöler in Stereo 8/97: "After some time ago the original the original multitracks of the sessions had been rediscovered rediscovered some time ago, Iggy Pop once again sat down at the Mixing desk to finally produce "his" definitive remix the claim that the result is quite impressive would be a crass would be a gross understatement.

Iggy Pop Muskegon au bord du lac Michigan n’est pas particulièrement réputé pour abriter des reptiles… C’est pourtant là que le 21 avril 1947 un iguane pas comme les autres voit le jour. Un iguane ou plutôt l’Iguane ! Le seul et unique Iggy Pop, né James Osterberg. Considéré comme le Parrain du punk rock, il est l’une des plus fascinantes figures de la culture pop américaine. Un animal sauvage qui secouera la planète rock à l’aube des années 70 aux commandes de ses Stooges dont les trois premiers albums – The Stooges, Fun House et Raw Power – composent une vraie sainte trinité. Un Nijinski habité et révolté qui poursuivra en solitaire (aidé par un certain David Bowie) ses contorsions électriques et deviendra une sorte d’icone
