Total Chaos: The Story of the Stooges as Told by Iggy Pop, by Jeff Gold

Total Chaos: The Story of the Stooges as Told by Iggy Pop, by Jeff Gold. 2016 massive hardcover. 351 pages, very nice condition.

The first time the story of this seminal band has been told entirely in Pop's own words. Hundreds of full color rare photos illustrate Pop's story. Author Jeff Gold and contributor Johan Kugelberg, noted music historians and collectors, spent two days with Pop at his Miami home, sharing with him their extensive Stooges collection and interviewing the legendary singer. Pop's candid, bare-all responses left them with the almost unbelievable tale of the band he founded. It is the alternately tragic and triumphant story of a group who rose from youth, fell prey to drugs, alcohol, and music biz realities, collapsed, and nearly 30 years later reformed, recording and touring to great acclaim. In 2010 The Stooges, credited with having invented punk rock, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their continuing influence can be felt today in the shape and sound of rock-n-roll music. Includes essays by johnny Marr, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett, and Jack White. Huge book = approx. 9.5" x 13"
