Iggy Pop, Part 1 | Broken Record (Hosted by Rick Rubin)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2025
- Iggy Pop is one of the most outrageous rock ‘n roll frontmen to ever step foot on stage. As the lead singer of The Stooges, Iggy was known for bending and contorting his sometimes-bloodied body while feverishly pacing the stage like a wild animal. Iggy’s 50-year career has been as tumultuous as his performance style. When The Stooges first broke up in the mid-70s, Iggy went solo and recorded a series of albums, some instant classics, others more experimental.
At 75 years-old he’s just released his newest album, “Every Loser.” On today’s episode Iggy shares incredible stories with Rick Rubin about his career. Their conversation was so great that we decided to split it into two consecutive episodes.
Today we’ll hear Iggy reminisce about recording “Fun House” in Los Angeles, and the first time he saw the ocean. Iggy also talks about the tight-knit rock scene in Detroit and how it was in some ways led by a local writer, activist and music manager named John Sinclair. Also, stay put at the end of this episode to hear a song off of Iggy’s new album.

ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

Iggy’s mind is still as sharp as ever. Incredible
Loved this, thanks Rick. I understand requests can be irritating, but can you reach out to Tom Waits? I would love to hear from him, and think you'd be the best to interview him. Cheers
He'll be in the next cast of interviews.
That would be amazing!!
Coffee and Cigarettes by Jim Jarmusch, classic
No man...Tom Waits.....😮💨😴😴😞😮💨😒🙄😒😞😩😫💤💤🕳️
@@igordewit7357 How sad. For you.
Zombie Birdhouse is one of the greatest albums of all time ... Iggy is an authentic poet, musician, and performing artist ... Solid interview by 2 legendary musical historians ...
Absolutely one of the most enjoyable rock n' roll interviews I ever listened to
I love hearing about the Detroit music history from Ypsilanti‘s greatest son. As a Detroiter all these bands he mentioned and times ,John Sinclair who I met at a MC5 concert at Saint Andrews hall in Detroit..he tapped me on the shoulder and said do you know who John Sinclair is ? and I turned around and looked at him in awe .. I said wow yeah it’s you .. Smiled and shook his hand. Great interview!
Priceless . F ing priceless . Thank you . Can’t wait for part 2

I saw iggy pop live at Isle of Wight. None of my mates were interested but I wasn’t missing it for the world. I remember rocking out to the classics and everyone around me was looking at me like I was crazy. Wasn’t even under the influence at the time. Just high on life.
You put it out there so I must ask......why are you friends with people not interested in iggy pop? Big red flag there lad....cheers
@@MACHOMANRANDYSAVAGE2211 they like new music. It’s not the same
In a situation like that, best to Go alone. It might not seem it on the surface but I Guarantee you you’ll have more fun
@@Lost_Sound I always do my own thing. Too many people miss out on the things they want because they’re too busy trying to please/impress others.
I saw him at the Isle of…the Isle of…the Isle of Lucy.
Jim Is A Diamond, he changed my life when i was 16 years old at The Grande Ballroom & The Eastown Theater in Detroit, The Stooges Man, Jim did a stage dive and landed on the floor in front of me, and got in my face, i freeked out, and started crawling away, The song was I want to be your Dog, after this show i went home a Different Person, Thank You Jim, may you live another 75 years, Cousin Figel
So refreshing to hear someone who knows how to conduct a great interview, notwithstanding Rick’s other formidable talents. With such a long legacy, two parts is very welcome.
Fantastic. Iggy's insights and memories are and so vivid, and positive. Just a great listen, so full of coll history.
First of Rick,killer interview. You're the best interviewer, second Iggy has memory of everything, he works with two brains. Very astute.
Incredible! Can't wait for pt 2
Just listened to this , I grew up in Monroe Michigan just south of Detroit the Mc 5 & the Stoges , Bob Seger would all play in Monroe or I'd go see them at the Grandy Ballroom & used to go to the house in Ann Arbor & hand out flyers for the White Panther s . This brought back a lot of memories. Iggy forget to mention Goose Lake Rock Festival it was one year after Woodstock what a great time that was ☮️ great interview & God Bless 🕊️
I could listen to Iggy ramble for ages😉
Cheers Rick
The Beatles were the end of the Show Business Era and the Stooges were the beginning of the Rock Era. The context shifted and made everything look different as context shifts do. I'd add that Detroit in the 60s saw the rise of the middle class via automotive wages. Money means guitars.
Jim is a great great artist.
Whenever my creativity is self questioned. I listen to Iggy and sort my crap out.
Quieting the noise and interference in my head.
Makes sense to me. He gets me movin and thinkin' etc
Ian Cunningham Good point, you may have heard his speech at the Polar Awards; the important thing is to have the balls!:)
Don't Crap Out !!!!✌️
Having grown up in SE Michigan/Detroit area in the 60s and 70s, I really enjoyed this.
Thank you, Rick -- you are a master interviewer and have such insightful questions to bring out amazing information from these artists! This was mesmerizing and can't wait for part 2-!! So glad you are doing these, hope you never stop....
How amazing to be alive the same time as Iggy. Such a wonderful person and it's so lovely, hearing him telling his stories. Makes me feel like taking a safe, sweet little nap! Life is good, sometimes ..
"Down on the ......beach??" Could you imagine?!? Not only would of this changed the entire feel of the masterpiece that is Fun house, that single lyric would have changed the trajectory of musical history from there on out!!
Good call Iggy!!
If you have been to silver lake, you would understand down on the beach 🤣🤣
But silver lake isn't on the beach
A match made in musical heaven. I used to see Iggy in NYC by St Mark's place in the 90s and early 2000s, but never got a full sit down with him. Interesting cat he is legendary.
great interview. I wish the Grande was still open.. it is in disrepair.
Amazing!
Iggy always has interesting things to say, I’m from Michigan, but a Genx’er and I always enjoy hearing Iggy talking about the music scene in the Detroit area back then, it was still very vibrant when I was in my teens and 20’s too. Great interview.
Hope the young kids into music are picking up what you're putting out there Rick. Much love to you and your crew..
VVhy not all Generations ?

This is so damn good ...... Love Iggy / what a Legend
Priceless!
The part where he said sometimes you could see horses, and they both seem to get astonished still. That's as human as human can get. A power greater than ourselves.
Thank you,greatto hear Iggy!!
What a fantastic interview. Iggy seems like such a wonderful sincere person. Can’t Walt to hear part two.
Yes it's awesome he's finally telling his story, captivating, in this iggy bypassed his drug story beforehand, he thought he was finished.
Beautiful interview, thanks. Jimmy McDonough
Hi Rick! I used to hang out in the AV room in Long Beach High School. Me and Steve Friedman spent many days after school at his house hanging out. He was such a great guy! Good Memories ❤️
youtube won't let me add this to playlist to watch later lol, looking forward to being able to listen to the episode
This is Great - great memories IgGy !!!
Ruben's is Guru of Music.
IgGy is The Balls !!!
Great Stories.
very cool. i always wondered how the 70's detroit music scene blew up so hot.
Thank you Rick et.al.!! Mr. O has been a huge influence even as a painter! Cheers!
Amazing memory --- for names of people and places and episodic events
This is so much fun and inciteful.
Fantastic interview!
Bring on Part 2~~~!!!
Riveting exchange, Thanks to you both for doing this, so much backstory and I was really loving hearing about the Detroit scene at that time and all the connections with the other bands. The late 70's early 80's Boston Rock scene that I was involved with heavily had a similar vibe with other bands digging what you were doing and vice-versa, which gave you other bands to do shows with. Good Times !! Looking forward to hearing part two. 🧑🎤⚡🧡
Iggy is such an amazing observer and still sooo cool. Great interview.
great podcast ! Thanks Rick
Really great interview! Thank you!
He still sounds like a Michigander!
Iggy pop is just an honest guy ...that sets him apart from all the other "rock stars"
Wow! Listened to both segments. Fascinating, funny and most enlightening.
I lived in Ann Arbor until I was about 8 or so and I remember my grandparents taking me to silver lake and I’d catch tadpoles there. Always very cool to here these musicians who inspire me all the time walking in the same places I’ve been and seeing how our stories align
Thank you !What afucking cool Christmas 🎄 present!!
I love this interview. I love Iggy ❤️🐾
Always ❤to hear the most creative I POP doing his thing.😾 & That giddy lusty laugh. He speaks o life/society and our rock culture a true poet view.
Thank you Rick and thank you Iggy I love you old heads so much 💗 I'm not so young anymore either I'm 41 grew up here in Philadelphia in the 90s listening to nirvana and the "new " punk lol and classic rock so cool to be able to see hendrix I would give my left nut to see the experience or the band of gypsys love the spiders from Mars album mick ronson is the most underrated guitarist of all time!!
This is so great- thanks so much Iggy and Rick.
"I Got a Right" sums up the entire libertarian ethos of Rock & Roll & America. "I'm Sick of You" is one of the greatest male perspective break up songs & tell offs. I saw the video for "I'm a Wild One" when I was 5 & haven't been quite the same since. Thanks, Iggy.
libertarians are wimps
@@PluralofvinylisvinylsLibertarian ethos there Pol Pot, you know that feeling you used to have like you could run your own life. You may not think they're as tough as Stalin, Hitler or even "Caitlyn" Jenner but it was many a freedom loving man who fought off the tyrants and gave your pathetic, whiny ass a chance to be free even if you can't handle it. How's your dad?
I’m sick of you was about iggys guitarist James Williamson during raw power
@jamiehovis7722 He was "Betsy?" Ok, maybe so. For me it worked for a few real bad Betsys. Either way, a heady tune.
@@S.J.L it’s common for artists to use pseudonyms. James was morbid and ill humored.
What a great interview. Thank you.
Great to hear about the early days in Detroit-he’s got an amazing memory considering all the substance abuse that went down in his career.
34:05 I get that totally. I think about a particular year like 74 and all the albums i love such as Queen's Sheer Heart Attack, Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway etc and meanwhile at CBGB's are a new band called The Ramones playing a liitle tune they wrote called Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue. That blows my mind.
Loved seeing Iggy and band (with Josh B) promoting his Post Pop Depression album at the Desert Daze festival in CA a few years ago. Amazing show!!!
This is an amazing historical documentary.
Iggy’s memory is staggering
Iggy pop is top G, without him I wouldn’t have made music
Excellent 🔥hoping next episode is on Raw Power!
Damn Iggy sounds so joyous ❤ I’m not a big fan but I’ll be seeing him at Cruel World Fest and I’m curious to see what he’ll be doing.
Such a beautiful persona... Warm regards from Serbia.
Great interview
Brilliant. Iggy is a great raconteur and still has all his marbles.
Really pleasant conversation. Both are good. Rick is genuinely interested and Iggy is motivated to tell stories. Knows how to do it - that's probably why Tell Me a Story is one of his best songs. Anyways, thanks a lot. By the way, whoever wrote that the Stooges do not have connections with Afro American music, Rick mentioned reading about that, should check his ears by a specialist. Their LP is all over Bo Diddley. Have a great day wherever you are and keep RnR safe :-)
I could listen to Mr. Osterberg all day.
Great podcast Rick! Iggy laid it out PERFECT except you forgot to mention one of the GREATEST singers-songwriters no one ever heard of that came out of Detroit at the same time the early Rock scene was happening. The mysterious legend Rodriguez! Also known as “Sugar Man” his song “Cause” maybe the best song ever of any genre. Zero commercial success. All of his songs are on my Spotify playlist.
Glorious
I finally heard somebody else say what I've been thinking for years, that the early Stones albums with the covers were their best. Thank you Mr. Osterberg (sp?)
Trying to get in touch with Jim Keltner. Would love to know his take on current events.
The ocean breeze. 💙
Thank you! Good listening!
Iggy's Jonathan Ross impersonation cracked me up.
I just bought Iggy Pop's new album!
Very entertaining . Rick is way good at interviewing.
Thanks also for ELEVATE PSYCHIATRY...from your new album..ha..ha...!
Iggy drives one of those classic (convertible) muscle cars. Literally with his left foot out of the window. Never seen anyone drive like that 🙂
14:15 Iggy imitating a Leslie speaker is my favourite thing today!
Legend.
Rick Rubin, Rodreguiz “Sugar Man” is a perfect fit for you to connect with. He’s still doing gigs in small venues.
this guy is super interesting.....i love to drive across USA with him......
dear rick rubin you should interview anton newcomb :)
Utterly Enthralling!!!
It aint fair..John Sinclair- in the stir for breathin air -Lennon lyric...but really loved hearing Iggy telling his stories . He is a sweetheart.
My girlfriend introduced me to John Sinclair in early 2000. We were at the music menu bar in Detroit that night. He mentioned that he was the founder of the Detroit blues society, which I thought was great. I later found out the rest of his history. Nice guy.
Thanks.
beach culture junkies, circa ‘74 ?, huntington , iggy’s pink trousers were occasionally mentioned.
44:59 "AND QUESTION MARK!" :D
An hour we'll spent 👍🤣🤙🤘
Very nice to hear IGGY talk out from SHANGRILA RANCH Malibu CA.
Real good place to be...
Lived on HEATHERCLIFF when I arrived in Los Angeles in 1990 to spend three sanctioned yet wonderful decades in LAWOMAN town.
Living next to the ocean is a tremendously h e a l i n g ecperience.
Can't wait to be back.
And now I will listen to Iggx's song WON'T CRAP OUT and silently remember his song SHADES.The latter means a lot to me for personal and artpromotion reasons.
Thanks Iggy,for being so strong and keeping on keeping on.
Bavaria ,where I had to live since oct.2019 for an inheritance issue is beautiful but v e r y cold in winter .The trauma that king Ludwig II experienced after having been arrested in his brdroom in one of his castles and then murdered by a crazy psychiatrist is l i n g e r i n g over the beautiful SWANLAKE (Starnbergersee) like a curse.asking to be removed.
Again t h a n k s IGGY..We now are at the end of the EVENING OF LIGHT (my friend NICO was filmed with you in the video for this song) and a NEW AGE OF EARTH is dawning.
Enjoy the UFO s that often show up around POINT DUME !
Hello you 2, I am listening…what a present at this moment…so love Sylvia…❤
Beautiful. remember: Iggys Speech on BBC John Peel Lecture about „Free Music in a capitalist Society“ thx
Grifters did a great track called 'Return To Cinder'. I love a good play on words.
I can’t believe he just mentioned Silver Lake in Michigan. And he’s not talking about the sand dunes.
Where’s part 2? It’s a mistake to cut (edit) this interview in sections.
I was sitting here bored as hell and Iggy saved me.
Multi purpose room... I remember that.
The music industry is renowned for being quite the cut-throat business. I had, however, never fathomed to what extent it actually was.
