One the greatest guitarists of all time was found dead today in his home in Ann Arbour, Michigan. The Stooges were one the best and one of my all time favorite bands ever. There is no end on to how influental and how much they have meant to me.
I saw The Stooges two times while living in New York. The first time was right when they had first re-united at the Roseland Ballroom, and that is one the best shows I have ever seen. It was loud, intense and crazy.
The second time was at a garage-festival on Randalls Island together with Bo Diddley, New York Dolls, Dirty Pretty Things and a bunch of other great bands. A tornodo was coming in during the show and it had to be cut short. Still great though, and the band was on fire.
So pay your respects today by playing The Stooges on maximun volume.
