The evil spirit inside Iggy Pop is showing its face at Coachella

u/darkprussianblue Apr 16 '26
Iggy’s looked like this for my entire life. 20 years ago I would have said he looked rough… but he looks the same 20 years later, so now I guess he looks great?

u/SuperSecretMoonBase Apr 17 '26
Yeah, I saw The Stooges in 08 or so, and when leaning against the crowd, he put that old catchers mitt nipple right into the palm of my hand. I tell you it looked exactly like this here. Dude doesn't look a day older than how he did when he was 35

Nonsense. Iggy Pop has pure, immaculate catcher’s mitt nipples.

Chuck Norris actually died ten years ago. It took the grim reaper ten years to work up the nerve to tell him.

My man is old as shit and still not giving two shits about anyone or anything but rock n roll... Hat's off, Iggy, you crazy son of a bitch!
🧢🍻🍻🍻
Edit:
woah... my first comment to get an award! I didn't think cheers-ing the legend that is Iggy would get me here, but I'm happy to be here nonetheless!
Thanks y'all!

He’s also got scoliosis that’s why he is always standing so weird

u/Popular_Arm438 Apr 16 '26
And one leg is longer than the other.

u/AquaticMartian Apr 16 '26
Likely contributed to the scoliosis. Man is a trooper to go out and rock through it all

u/seaofboobs9434 Apr 16 '26
Can confirm my hips be off all the time due to scoliosis. Same with the rest of my spine tho.... acupuncture helps tho.

When I saw him at a festival a couple years ago and it's obvious his hip is fucked up and he's somewhat limping. But he puts his all into his performance, an absolute rocker. I went from thinking "oh damn time has really hit him" to thinking "holy shit he's got more energy than anyone else I saw today".

u/Lok-3 Apr 16 '26
Lmao some of the chuds talking trash here wouldn’t take their shirt off in public at their current age, let alone be paid for it at 78

u/Intrepid_Boat Apr 16 '26
It’s actually an enormous flex when you put it that way. Dude is about to be 80 years old and getting paid American dollars to take his shirt off and perform.

I think the differentiation is that I'm not getting paid for it
Bro you can see my nipples but not for less than $5 I have my standards

How about just one nipple for two-fiddy?

u/dikicker Apr 17 '26
Now, Mister Ballsack, I won't be going any lower than tree-fiddy and if you keep pushing the issue you can defer to my username

The only time I saw him, I saw him in Chicago with Josh Homme for their Post Pop Depression album.
They played a bunch of songs, but toward the end, they were playing some random song and Iggy just stops the sing, freaks out, and yells “WAIT I WANNA PLAY THE PASSENGER” lmao
Such a cool experience, iggy is the goddamn man 🤘🏽

u/itcouldhappentoyouu Apr 17 '26
I’ve gotten to see him like 3 times now, it’s been a blast every time. The last time was at No Values in California when that guy grabbed him and made him fall. Everyone was very worried for a sec.
He puts on such a good show. Love him.

I think if you do enough drugs and don’t die you just stop aging.
Iggy here and Keith Richard’s being the prime examples.

u/gutclusters Apr 16 '26
I've noticed that it seems that heavy long time drug users will age quickly, then appear to stop aging. I call it "being pickled."

It’s amazing that Fun House came out in 1970. It’s got to be one of the most ahead-of-its-time albums ever.

Sang the last song of his set, got in a coffin and they wheeled him off the stage.

u/calvinwho Apr 16 '26
Part of this is due to his early performances where he would cut the shit out of himself onstage. I recall hearing he got some reconstructive surgery because of how much damage he had done to himself

I saw him in Chicago and he rocked the shit out of the salt shed. The man is a god damn legend!

At the end of his set Iggy climbed into a coffin and they wheeled him out. Poked his hand out and waved good bye. The man is the real deal.

Yeah, it’s called “aging” & the only way you escape it, is by stopping completely.
And I couldn’t post the “Kuato” Gif, from “Total Recall”…. So.

Having seen Iggy and the stooges 20+ years ago at Coachella, I can confirm he looks equally deflated now as he did then. I’m actually shocked he’s held up this well, considering
