"All? No ? one, less wary than his fellows or less fleet of foot, or perhaps simply possessed of a curiosity disarming in one so hideous of aspect, had lingered by the shelves, paging through a crumbling volume, of proust of all things. The door closed, as if it had never been, and he was trapped!! He would put a brave face on it, but there were clearly days when he he cursed the day he had ever arrived... "

If you had bother to read the thread you'll realise that this possibility has already been considered and rejected for the very simple and obvious reason that if they liked Iggy Pop they would have known exactly what to expect when attending one of his gigs.

If the Corrs had just LOOKED AT THIS They would've known what they were up against.

How can anyone possibly know what to expect at any artist's concert? If everyone was predictable no one would go to the concerts, because they would know what to expect. The Corrs were obviously fans, and Iggy Pop is a totally irrational person. He would get really boring and not be as popular if he continually did the same things at every concert. How can anyone predict anyone's behaviour, especially Iggy Pop's? By the way that little spat between the two "men" well it all seems very immature to me, why don't you both get lives.

So Iggy Pop makes a so-called ‘profession’ out of being an egocentric, altruistic, maniacal, twisted fuck. At least he makes money from it. But what can be said for you sad assholes that call yourselves his fans? Defending someone as disgusting as “Mr Pop” who salivates and hemorrhages on his drugged up, fucked up followers?? Not much.
It’s plain to see that you lowlifes know nothing about the Corrs. To say that they are lacking in talent is a complete joke. Try playing Toss the Feathers or Trout in the Bath on the violin (you know what that is right…?) and you’ll eat your own shit before saying that again.
Get a life you sad, sad cunts because the Corrs are absolutely fucking brilliant and as far as their true fans are concerned, here to stay (yes in 30 years time).

Amy G is absolutely right, The Corrs have every right to attend an Iggy Pop gig if they want to - what they DON'T have the right to do is complain afterwards when Iggy does the stuff that Iggy has always done. That's a bit like getting on a roundabout and then complaining that it goes round and round and round.
"So Iggy Pop makes a so-called ‘profession’ out of being an egocentric, altruistic, maniacal, twisted fuck."
"Altruistic"? Are you entirely sure?!?
Will The Corrs still be around in 30 years time?
Well.... why not? Stranger things have been known. The Eagles have been around that long, Phil Collins has been around that long
Will anyone (other than their own fans) consider them to be or have been in any way important or significant in the development of modern music?
I think not.
Try eating your own shit and I think you’ll find playing Toss the Feathers or Trout in the Bath on the violin are a far more appealing proposition.

FWIW I find the incident funny, in the sense that the Corrs being at the gig in the vip area in the first place seems typical for them and Iggy spitting on them seems typical for him.

Sorry Tom, but I can only think that you must have been off sick the day they covered Iggy & The Stooges!
I wouldn't describe myself as a "hardcore Iggy brown-noser" by any means (I've got maybe half a dozen Stooges / Iggy albums and I've seen him maybe 4 times in the last 25 years - and only one of those with him as headliner) but I do know that this is a guy who has been known to do an awful lot more than just spit at people when he's on stage!
From the AMG entry on The Stooges:
".... Iggy Pop became notorious for performing smeared in blood or peanut butter, diving into the audience.... earning a reputation for their wild, primitive performances, which were largely reviled. In particular, Iggy gained attention for his bizarre onstage behavior. Performing shirtless, he would smear steaks and peanut butter on his body, cut himself with glass and dive into the audience. The Stooges were infamous, not famous — while they had a rabidly devoted core audience, even more people detested their shock tactics...."

Tee hee - I think that may have been what mark s (mark@evazev.demon.co.uk) was hinting at in his post of January 10th, 2003 2:22 PM, Alex!
― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 13 January 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago) link
Maybe Iggy needs to post signs outside the venue: "Warning: You WILL get wet. Pregnant women or people with back problems or pacemakers should not ride this ride."

Nevertheless, point taken to an extent - however there remains a world of difference between lurking anonymously at the back or in the stalls to try to minimise the risk of getting yourself smeared in sweat / spit / snot / blood / puke (as indeed I'd be inclined to do myself!); and doing something as ostentatious as sitting in a stage-front box, isn't there?
Have you ever hired or even sat in a box at a gig Tom? I know I haven't!
Personally I'd have though that making a display of separating myself from the rest of the audience, when going to see a performer whose pretty much built his reputation as live performer on continually and often violently confronting and tearing down the barriers between performer and audience, would just be asking for trouble - wouldn't you?
― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Monday, 13 January 2003 17:03 (twenty-one years ago) link
If Iggy doesn't like the idea of stagefront boxes he shouldn't play venues with them. This is a poor argument but it's as valid as the "well they shouldnt have gone then" one.
(Can I just re-iterate to any Corrs fans reading this that yr favourite band is rubbish, by the way?)
