Words of wisdom by Alan Vega\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

“This guy with blond bangs [Iggy Pop<\/strong>] – who looked like Brian Jones<\/strong> \u2013 came out onstage and at first I thought he was a chick. He had on torn dungarees and these ridiculous-looking loafers. He was just wild looking \u2013 staring at the crowd and going, ‘Fuck you!, Fuck you!’ Then the Stooges<\/strong> launched into one of their songs and the next thing you knew, Iggy<\/strong> was diving off the stage onto the concrete, and cutting himself up with a broken guitar. It wasn\u00b4t theatrical, it was theater. Alice Cooper<\/strong> was theatrical, he had all the accoutrements, but Iggy<\/strong>, this was not acting. It was the real thing.<\/p>\n

Iggy\u00b4s<\/strong> set ended in twenty minutes, and somebody had the fucking genius to play Bach\u00b4s<\/strong>\u00a0“Brandenburg Concerto” through the speaker system. The audience was throwing bottles and roses at him. I swear it was beautiful.<\/p>\n

Do you know what I\u00b4m saying, man? It changed my life because it made me realize everything I was doing was bullshit.”<\/p>\n

– Alan Vega (Suicide)<\/strong> in the\u00a0early seventies<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
