[kj] O.T. Stooges in NYC

[Christof hamille]

Greg are you stoned?  Seriously.  Masterpiece?    ehhhh.  It's okay.  I 
haven't listened to it after the initial listen.
The Dolls did continue after Thunders adn Nolan left.  And really it was 
Johansen that was trying to distance himself from his "past" while everyone 
was still alive.  Sylvain and Kane were trying to get evveryone back 
togehter for a long time.  Kane even had a LA version for awhile beofre 
hitting bottom and finding religion.  It's just one of those scenarios where 
it's too little too late.

I've seen the recent incarnation live and they are good.  Sylvain is 
annoying as fuck being his own cheerleader.  I know he means well.  But he 
just seems to be clueless sometimes.  He's the guy in the band that would 
wear his own shirt on stage.

Sttoges record.  Again it's okay.  It did nothing for me.  And again it's 
too little too late.  And there are people that could be inthe Stooges from 
the original times that aren't...hhhmmm..If I had to pinpoint a weak point 
on the new release I would have to say Iggy.  Everything seems flat and 
phoned in.  The lyrics suck.  Some of the worst lyrics to ever come out of 
his mouth.  And his singing is basic.  the band is okay but it seems like 
they are trying to do the simplistic, minimalism of the first release.  
Which is okay but is was so raw and animalistic.

they are playing in a fabulous theater in Detroit soon.,  Still debating on 
whether to go.
