Gimme Danger
No other band in rock'n'roll history has come close to The Stooges' blend of heavy primal throb, spiked psychedelia, blues-a-billy grind, succinct angst-ridden lyrics, and a snarling, preening leopard of a frontman who somehow embodies Nijinsky, Bruce Lee, Harpo Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud all rolled into one. There is no precedent for The Stooges, yet those who have been influenced by them are numerous. The film will contextualize their musical, cultural, political, and historical emergence, and will chronicle their adventures and misfortunes while tracking their inspirations and the factors that contributed to their first commercial struggles, as well as their enduring influence.
