I mean, what are these demands for his next gig? If you were a rock star, what would you demand?

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Didn't Van Halen make some Odd M and M demands? I would demand the fattest woman in the land so I can lie upon her fluffy mounds. And Also a human head sewn onto a Dog's back, and fifty pounds of mascara to bathe in.

I'd be fairly calm -- some good wine (preferably from the country I'm in if it's known for quality stuff), some good cheese (ditto) and the best local takeout that's in the area, doesn't matter what the cuisine is. And a direct net connection for whatever computer I'm hauling around.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would ask for a TV with a Dreamcast, Playstation 2 and an X-Box, along with five games for each. I would also ask for a case of beer, sushi for 6 people, a kitten, and several gallons of bottled water.

i fucking hate broccolli...I'd want like heaps of fetish dudes and mormons, all in the one room.

― Geoff, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Uh...dare I ask what you want to do with the kitten, Dan?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would treasure and protect the kitten, Ned. Get yer mind out of the gutter.

I guess it isn't very RAWKANDROLL! to be all gaga over a kitten, but there you go.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Would you not be concerned that the kitten might eat some of the drugs that would inevitably be lying about backstage and have a mentalist episode?

I would have Dominos veggie pizza, beer, champagne, wine, vodka, bean bags, Revels, a telly...... I'd be a crap rock star, I might as well just stay at home really.

― Emma, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Will Smith built a multi-million dollar mobile home /truck for his touring & traveling. It EXPANDS - the walls push out, and the ceiling rises. It's totally obscene and opulent. (I learned this on VH1. MTV - crap soap operas + voyeuristic celebrity shows - the 18- 25 demographic = VH1. Mana from heaven.)

I'd just ask my entourage about what they wanted - booze, drugs, women, men, gimps - and get them that and then some so I can retire quietly to my suite with a few close friends / groupies, have a few drinks, discuss esoteric matters, and chill.

Kittens have mentalist episodes WITHOUT drugs; I'm not sure I would notice unless it began to bazooka-barf. Which would probably be cute. (EVERYTHING a kitten does is cute until you have to clean it up.)

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Kittens make cute accountants, but bad accountants

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would ask for tea and freshly squeezed fruit juice.

If I were madonna I would ask for a spare tooth to fill that GAP!

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

This is a way to make sure everyoen reads their contract.
I would ask for a good selection of queer fetish porn and a larger selection of catholic perodicals .

― anthony, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'd just ask for a lot of alcohol and a ghetto blaster, I think. And some shrimp cocktail. Oh, and I want a kitten too, a nice little siamese kitty. Oh and a lot of cartons of Parliament Lights. I should probably get Marlboro Reds too since my entourage are people who are TOO BLOODY BROKE to buy cigarettes.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would want a red carpet that unrolls itself in front of me wherever I go, kind of like Magneto's bridge in X-Men. I would want to be carried around like a prince on one of those things like Aladdin has and be fanned and fed grapes by harems. I would want a TV which gets the Red Sox and an unlimited supply of tapioca pearl drinks.

― Otis Wheeler, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

While I'm at it. I'll take a masseuese

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I also want a woman in stretch pants and blue eyeliner to run around and scream invective at every third person who comes over to talk to me.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Can i add
Aside from the food. I want my own Father Confessor.

― anthony, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I would want a Princess Leia action figure. The one where Jabba the Hut has her dressed as a Medieval Super Model.

― tOM p, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Dude, that's a great idea, I mean the costume not the action figure. I'd demand that costume. I should just start wearing it all the time, forget dressing like the chick in Gladiator.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

"tall order" they say. Yuk yuk yuk. That famous british humor.

― Sterling Clover, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Now that's just odd.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'll also take a case of Moxie

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

This is specifically so that you can have a crusty agent playfully tap you on the chin and mutter, "Ya got Moxie, kid. I like that," isn't it?

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Sterl: I was going to remark that in his rush to tell the "tall order" he totally fucked it up.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

NO, its to help the canker sores.

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Eek?

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Moxie has many powers

Steven Tyler wouldn't do this, he takes himself far too seriously.

ts: iggy sells car insurance vs dennis hopper sells life insurance

― high-five machine (schlump), Saturday, 9 January 2010 13:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Both are eclipsed by the sheer number of commercials that Alice Cooper has done.

five years pass...

I was in the overpriced organic sandwich/food-bar/artisinal products place near my office today and I Wanna Be Your Dog came on the speakers, and damn it still kicks so hard, hard enough to sound out of place in a midtown organic eatery.

seven years pass...

So many Iggy threads, no definitive Iggy thread. Anyway, seeing him tonight! A one-off show. Dude is 75, which is 12 dog years.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 10 March 2023 21:49 (one year ago) link

(Speaking of, didn't even notice this was in ILE and not ILM.)

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 10 March 2023 21:52 (one year ago) link

he apparently has a whole patented process to transform from Jim to Iggy, and when the show is done and he's spent and he's collapsing into the limo... he becomes Jim again

Enjoy the show

^classic!

Iggy looks and moves like his body has been stitched together from random parts, but he's ruling.

― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 11 March 2023 03:54 (one year ago) link

Ha, he definitely has been asymptotically approaching Andy Warhol's Frankenstein as the years have gone by.

Cool. Is Paz Lenchantin in his band now?

― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 05:42 (one year ago) link

I don't know who that was, but she was playing guitar.

― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 11 March 2023 05:44 (one year ago) link

Sorry that was just my bad joke.

― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 05:53 (one year ago) link

I just read that this was supposed to be his touring band.

Nah, I think those all-stars (who are on the album) are just playing a handful of special shows next month. This band might have been his regular touring band as of late/last year. They were pretty great. Especially liked the horn section, which made "The Passenger" sound like the Siouxsie version.
