Iggy Pop's rider.

Gold.

1 X 13inch and 1 X 14inch TOM-TOM, WITH MOUNTING. And if you can't bring the mounting to us, we'll have to send a bloke called Mohammed to the mounting. A stand mount would be fine, or a bass drum mount. Here endeth the sermon on the mount.

Gold.

1 X DW 5000 BASS DRUM PEDAL. Double chain type. With a footplate. And a little blue plaque with "William Shakespeare slept here for six months* in 1586. Shagging the arse off of Anne Hathaway." (*Not the whole six months, obviously. I think they woke him at mealtimes.)

Gold.

By the way, our guitar roadie, Chris, assures me that the panda is not of the genus "Bear", but is actually a part of the "Pig" family. Could this possibly be true? And if not, why would he risk telling me, so that I can tell the whole world his half-baked theory? Unbelievable.

It's just gold.

Ah. Great afternoon reading. I am enthralled.

You know what would be really nice? If you could make this room look less like a typical rock & roll dressing room and more sort of...Interesting? Are you with me? Just let someone loose with a bit of artistic flair....Er, do you know any homosexuals?

Is this about Alan Igglesden?

Yes.

What a guy, ffs, even his roadies are as cool as ****. These days the Igster might prefer sipping chardonay, playing golf and gardening but as far as I'm concerned the most original and innovative 'artist' music has ever known is still the 'coolest' guy on the planet.

I'm sure you've seen this, GT, but here goes . . .

No I haven't seen it before, but then again I'm not an obsessed fan that spends all his life searching for stuff about Iggy Pop on t'internet. Where does the clip originate from and what's the significance of Tom Waits?

My interest in Iggy Pop stems from being an 11 year old Bowie fan and teenage punk. Imho what sets Iggy apart is his music which was the polar opposite to all the flowers in the hair hippy s**t people were listening to when he burst onto the scene. Iggy was a punk before the word existed, and if you're old enough to remember what music was like in the late 60s and early 70s you will understand how left-field and radical the Iggy and the Stooges 1973 album 'Raw Power' is.

Hehe, cheers for passing that gem on, JD.

Iggy Pop's rider.

Who rode Iggy?

I can't believe you guys did not think of that one. I'm a genius

Bowie, allegedly, for a period there in the 70s. Although I can't see Iggy playing the wife in that match-up.
