Original Guitarist James Williamson Returns After Nearly 40 Years

With a music career spanning nearly 50 years, Iggy and the Stooges have profoundly influenced subsequent major bands like the Sex Pistols, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, they return to the scene six years after their reunion album in 2007.

For 'Ready to Die,' guitarist James Williamson, who played on the legendary 1973 album 'Raw Power,' has returned as a co-writer and producer. The prospect of them creating music together again after approximately 40 years has become a significant topic for fans.





Also noteworthy is the album trailer featuring a humorous 'actor Iggy.' In the clip, he speaks on his phone, first dismissing major labels by saying, "I gotta get rid of that system before the major labels screw me. I don't give a damn about money. That's how I live." Then, he laments about indie labels: "I decided not to sign with an indie label. I contacted them a month ago, but they haven't responded. They haven't even sent the money." His performance, laced with dark humor, is a must-see.

'Ready to Die' showcases a powerful yet cool maturity, a testament to aging and the refinement of music. Feel the essence of why this legendary band remains legendary through these sounds.
