Talk:The Stooges

message: The Stooges made their last recordings in 2013 and played their last show(s) later year. Scott died in 2014 but they didn't officially announce their breakup till 2016. I think 2013 should be listed as their last 'active year' since it was the last year they were actually active.

thread_title:  Year the Stooges ended? 

message: I know nothing about text entry, but I did grow up in Ann Arbor.  As I remember it, Jim changed his name to Iggy Stooge and used that name for at least a year before becoming Iggy Pop, so the entry is misleading on this point.
:It's not a huge deal because I doubt anyone looks up the Stooges without already knowing them, but I probably wouldn't have put Heavy Metal under the genre list. I could see the influence but it isn't quite the same. They were pretty much straight forward punk rock.
::Straight forward punk rock? This article needs A LOT of help.
------------------------------------
I changed the name of the song from "1970" to "1969", because it's correct.  also, I don't know the year, but Joan Jett also remade "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog."--Lorraine LeBeau 20:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, Alexander's death is mentioned in the article - it's at the end of the first paragraph of the "Post-breakup" chapter.  As for the other additions, you're welcome to try and integrate them in to the article if you feel they should be in there.  The Stooges wiki article was a big mess when I started trying to clean it up, streamline it and give it a more unified feel (a process which still has far to go as the page is still pretty messy), so I tend to err on the side of keeping things lean and relevant in the article.  But feel free to consider your own additions - just try and keep the article's overall uniformity and cohesion in mind when doing so.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 18:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

message: when did the use of the name 'Iggy and the Stooges' rather than just 'the stooges' begin? should this be noted. --Neon white 15:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone please assist me, on behalf of Wikiproject Punk Music, in continually reverting the troll who has been periodically recontextualizing The Stooges (the MC5 too) as a heavy metal band. Tim010987 (talk) 23:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The "heavy metal" troll 

message: Hello all. I went ahead and added a new sub-section in the 'History' section of this article on Ron Asheton's death - it just didn't seem appropriate to add to the "Live again" section, and it is clearly a new chapter in the band's history (if not the final chapter).  I hope everyone agrees and approves.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 17:47, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Death of Ron Asheton" addition 

message: I finally underwent the much-needed streamlining task regarding the information surrounding the band's 2003 reformation in the article.  All of the "security-guards-were-pissed-but-the-fans-loved-it" bits and unnecessary info was removed, and information condensed.  Ron Asheton's death, in my opinion, closes this chapter of the band's history and allows for a definitive summary of the years from 2003-2009, which I've attempted to construct.  Hopefully everyone is with me on this.  Colinclarksmith (talk) 16:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Live Again" and "Reissues" sections merged with "Reunion" 

message: As far as I know, the band shouldn't have psychedelic rock as a genre. If someone can prove me wrong, well, do that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.152.99.31 (talk) 19:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genres, psychedelic rock? 

message: The WikiProject Punk Rock page mentioned this article was gravely in need of improvement. I've begun to do some clean up - mainly to the sentence structure. Will keep it on my watch list, and continue to work on it as time permits. Netherzone (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
