But then everything changed. The Stooges were called now Iggy & The Stooges and Ron Asheton had to settle with the bass, because James Williamson took over now the lead guitar, which determines the whole album! The guitar playing is so loud and wild, that there is only so thunders past one! And again a Iggy, the everything are: angry, loud, screaming and crazy in "Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell", "Shake Appeal" or "Raw Power", as well as awesome groovy and left in "Gimme Danger" , totally disturbing and with animal sounds (?) in "penetration" or almost restrained in "I Need Somebody", where he was at the end but then can not act together and just breathes fire!
The "Death Trip" then sums it all up and clarifies where Iggy takes this madness!
The whole produced by David Bowie and he was then still continued to hold even the Iggy Pop alive!
The Stooges, so all in all Rock'n'Roll / pre-punk, whatever you want to call it, definitely genuine, unpredictable and with the first three albums (The Weirdness, gift, solid, ok) leading the way, immortal and always different!
