It's been over forty years since Iggy and the Stooges first took the stage, but their music still has that feeling of danger and excitement missing from so much of today's music scene (I'm looking at you, Coldplay). From smothering himself in peanut butter to playing with open cuts all over his chest (gross, but very punk) to playing a vacuum cleaner like a guitar, Iggy Pop has earned his status as one of the most animated and exhilarating frontmen of all time. Forty years down the line, he may have chilled out a bit on the crazy front (the lack of drugs probably helps), but he still brings the excitement (and the shirtlessness). And, as if a Stooges concert needed a bit more intrigue, this will be the first concert that they have played since having all of their equipment stolen in Montreal a couple of days ago. Can the Asheton brothers still shred with borrowed instruments? Come to Massey Hall tonight to find out.
