Yeah, there's a cover of RIABOM by Turbonegro too...
By the way, speaking of Stiv B's pop sensibilities, there's a demo track called I'm No More on the posthumous L.A.L.A. CD.
Does this ('Ganes in 1974, but actually it's a sixties sob ballad) sound familiar?

There´s a lot of rumours around Iggy´s show. I heard one from a guy that was with his dad on that show, 8 years old. He mean that Iggy suck the guitar players dick on stage. Of course some kind of phantasy monster. But I can imagine that Iggy have a good time to provoce the raggers.

Here's one version, by the local press.

Sorry, it's in Swedish, but the reporter refers to Iggy's "disrespect for the audience", suggesting it was possibly the main reason for the hassle...

But are we straying too far from the subject matter or boring other readers to tears?

To elaborate, they were VERY (un)cool!
JT always used to love hearing the old Hurriganes records,
Stiv went as far as stealing a song...
Great old school 50s/greaser/teenage romance/biker/70s backwoods madness/raggare/Detroit-style badass guitar/pre-punk attitude & chops!
Start with the first song (Rock'n'Roller) from their debut ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT LONG (1973, but hopefully available on CD at your favourite "record" emporium).
and you're on the right track!

Hurriganes Roadrunner was my first LP I ever got. I was 11 yrs old and it still blows me today. There is CD collection with early singles called 25 Golden Greats. You could proudly set these with your JT records. True as F**k.
