Starting with 'I've got no work ...' and a refrain spelling 'I am L-O-S-T
lost' . But to be honest this song was no highlight. All in all I'm sorry
to say, that I saw many much better concerts by Iggy. Tonight he will play
Hamburg. Last year Hamburg was fantastic and the best out of the three I saw
in 99. "any Stooges classics. Closing tune as usual Louie Louie. Also

Gina X re the Berlin show:
"I was so delighted and fired up and in gear and on fire for rock'n roll and everything connected and my old influenced vibes of Iggy (solo) and The Stooges got back to life again :) This man has so much power and boy is he in shape! His band has got its things together and looks cool. Actually the axemen have got a cool style, they both remind me on Dave Mustaine of Megadeth (cool). The setlist was actually a great inspiring flavour to me! It's quite interesting how different some poeple view a concert, so, I must say, never rely too much on magazines and what they write, go and watch the shows yourself and don't believe everything...I am sorry Michael, I don't agree with your view but respect your opinion. So, anyway, I am to say IGGY RULEZ!!! He kicks younger wanna be's in the butt and he does it really good. Btw: I think Micheal Monroe suck really bad and took the wrong drugs...his way of dancing around showed how much of an Iggy fan he is but, why would he copy the headliner as a support when the headliner is the real deal?? Micheal monroe should grow up, fire his band and clean up his act and come back and forget about the old days. Killer Barbies have everything a good band needs, the look, the stage act, exept good songs. Not understandable why they get hyped with absolutely no quality songs. Hey, here I am , my name is Gina and i say things with raw power and I love cold metal and everything will be alrite tonight. Hope to find out new and hot stuff about the IGGY! WHATTA GUY :):):) "(Originally from E-Group's Iggy Pop board) Then more from her below.
"Mooseman is a giant, a guy you would not expext in a white trash rock-punk band, yeah, he is doing a great job. He is like not trying to act really tuff he is tuff, he is pretty loose and relaxed and plays an awesome bass. The fun thing was, when Iggy threw his mike stand once in a while, Mooseman just hold up his leg really cool, so he doesn't get hurt. It's a great mixture and they are all great musicians and play together real well. I had a fantastic evening." Thanks again, Gina!
