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

Lobotomy is a lurid and unlikely temperance tract from the
underbelly of rock 'n' roll. Taking readers on a wild rollercoaster
ride from his crazy childhood in Berlin and Munich to his lonely
methadone-soaked stay at a cheap hotel in Earl's Court and newfound
peace on the straight and narrow, Dee Dee Ramone catapults readers
into the raw world of sex, addiction, and two-minute songs. It
isn't pretty. With the velocity of a Ramones song, Lobotomy rockets
from nights at CBGB's to the breakup of the Ramones' happy family
with an unrelenting backbeat of hate and squalor: his girlfriend
ODs; drug buddy Johnny Thunders steals his ode to heroin, "Chinese
Rock"; Sid Vicious shoots up using toilet water; and a
pistol-wielding Phil Spector holds the band hostage in Beverly
Hills. Hey! Ho! Let's go!
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. "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
