Updated paperback version features a new chapter of never seen photos plus a new interview with Henry Rollins.  TOTAL CHAOS: The Story of The Stooges / As Told by Iggy Pop is the first time the story of this seminal band has been told entirely in Pop's own words. Hundreds of full color rare photos illustrate Pop's story. Author Jeff Gold and contributor Johan Kugelberg, noted music historians and collectors, spent two days with Pop at his Miami home, sharing with him their extensive Stooges collection and interviewing the legendary singer. Pop's candid, bare-all responses left them with the almost unbelievable tale of the band he founded-the alternately tragic and triumphant story of a group who rose from youth, fell prey to drugs, alcohol, and music biz realities, collapsed and nearly 30 years later reformed, recording and touring to great acclaim. In 2010 The Stooges, credited with having invented punk rock, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their continuing influence can be felt today in the shape and sound of rock-n-roll music. "Gasp at the awe inspiring memorabilia and frank talk in Total Chaos: The Story of The Stooges/As Told By Iggy Pop"— Mojo Magazine "Tells the band’s revolutionary story through many never-before-published photos and extensive interviews…(and) contributions from Johnny Marr, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett and Jack White."— Rolling Stone "A fantastic new book…a must-read for both diehard fans and anyone who wants to learn first-hand from Pop what it was like from the inside looking out in one of the seminal bands of the post-’60s era."— Esquire

Iggy's 19th solo album and his first to be released via the recently announced partnership between Atlantic Records and Gold Tooth Records, the new label founded by the album's Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum executive producer, Andrew Watt. The album is an exemplary album of primal rock 'n' roll - a master class in the art of lashing out with unequalled intensity and unflappable wit. The result is 11 songs by the man who refused to go gently into that good night.

Prompted by the closing of New York s mythical CBGB music club in 2006 and her desire to capture it, photographer and artist Rhona Bitner set out to record the most iconic places of the American musical landscape the recording studios, concert halls, arenas, ballrooms, prisons, and parks where the most important songs were inspired, recorded, played, and listened to. This new volume presents Bitner s seminal images in book form for the very first time. Taken over a period of 12 years, the photographs constitute a mapping of 300 unique places across 26 different states and 89 cities. From Jimi Hendrix s recording studio and Elvis Presley s music room at Graceland, to Aretha Franklin s childhood church, the Georgia lounge where Otis Redding, James Brown, and B. B. King took the stage, and the high school auditorium where Bob Dylan began to perform, each locale played a seminal role in the soundtracks of generations of music fans. And while Bitner decided to capture the sites empty and silent, the reverberations of fabled tunes still echo from them. Complete with a foreword by the godfather of punk himself Iggy Pop and contributions by Greil Marcus, Natalie Bell, and Jason Moran, this encyclopaedic collection of pictures is a must-have addition to the libraries of pop culture and music aficionados everywhere.

TOTAL CHAOS is the first book telling Iggy Pop's story of The Stooges from his own words. Grammy winning editor and avid music historian Jeff Gold spent two days at the rock legend's home sharing pictures and memorabilia from his collection. Featuring a trove of unseen photos, TOTAL CHAOS shows and tells, with the help of best-selling author Jon Savage, the story of the Stooges from those tell-all interviews.

Twenty-one artists, from all walks of life, gathered at the New York Academy of Art on Sunday, February 21, 2016, for a special life drawing class with a guest model: American rock legend Iggy Pop.

THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT CAME TO ME. NO MATTER HOW THEY GOT HERE, THEY DID THE F***ING JOB. Iggy Pop hasn't left a mark on music; he's left it battered and bruised, too. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, here for the first time are his selected lyrics, complete with stunning original photographs, illustrations, alongside Iggy and others' reflections on a genre-defining music career that spans five decades. Coinciding with a new album, FREE, this is the ultimate book for every rock and roll fan.

A smart, scathing look at the most hell-bent performers of our time: Here are profiles of everyone you'd expect (and a few you wouldn't)-Brian Wilson, Miles Davis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Sid Vicious, and Kurt Cobain. "Kent matters because he wrote about rock better than anyone before or since." -Tony Parsons, The Daily Telegraph
