Death Trip: Iggy and the Stooges, 1972–74
Autor Michael S. Begnalen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 iul 2026
Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam, and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

Recenzii
"Scholarly, overflowing with detail, supremely well researched and written with genuine enthusiasm and an impressive depth of historical insight, Death Trip documents The Stooges’ journey from post-Elektra dead end oblivion to their miraculous resurrection as Iggy & The Stooges in London in the summer of 1972. . . . Anyone who considers Raw Power to be one of the defining albums of the ‘70s and the savage harbinger of the sound and attitude of punk needs this book."
"As Begnal shows in this focused study, Raw Power captures a band caught between competing impulses toward recognition and toward self-destruction. Drawing on interviews (including recent conversations with Williamson), archival sources, and cultural theory, Begnal places the album within the broader disillusionment of the post-sixties era and the circumstances that sparked punk rock's emergence as a genre. . . . For fans of punk history and music studies, Begnal makes a persuasive case for Raw Power as a foundational work."
“Fans of Iggy and the Stooges, as well as general rock history enthusiasts, will appreciate this insight into an iconic album and band.”
“With scholarship rather than machismo, intelligence rather than bluster, gets to the heart of the Stooges’ lortuous and lonely road to Raw Power: one of the greatest albums ever made.”

“Fans of Iggy and the Stooges, as well as general rock history enthusiasts, will appreciate this insight into an iconic album and band.”
"A kaleidoscopic study that crisscrosses and brilliantly illuminates the Stooges’ second act. Begnal brings together the methodology of a scholar with the enthusiasm and knowledge of a lifelong fan. Death Trip will enthrall, inform, and entertain diehard and casual devotees alike as it elucidates, through the story of Raw Power, the lost history of punk before the Ramones and the Sex Pistols."
