Ron Asheton RIP

Link

What a loss for music. Next to *The Clash *, this band played a big part in forming my musical tastes.

Bummer. He was part of something super influential, even if the Stooges never quite broke through on their own…

I did report the OP to see if we can get the title spelling of his name corrected to Asheton…

Sad news.

I had the privilege of seeing the Stooges perform at the 2007 Lollapalooza. I know reunion shows can never really capture the magic of a band as they were 35 years before, but it was a great show. The band had everyone jump the fences and get on stage for a song or two. Definitely a stand out concert memory for me. I’ll have a listen to Fun House tonight.

Badumdumdumdum-dumdum,
Badumdumdumdum-dumdum,
Badumdumdumdum-dumdum,
Badumdumdumdum-dumdum.

No. Fun.

:smack: Thanks

Music has just lost another note. Not too much in the rock world compares to one of Asheton’s riffs. I was fortunate enough to be at their Detroit reunion show in 2003…man what a night.

RIP man.

Man, this is terrible. Way too young to go.
