Iggy Pop's Gear
In a photo from TED's source, Iggy Pop is seen playing a Fender American Standard Telecaster at home in his later years.
In this performance of "I Wanna Be Your Dog", Pop can be seen playing a Gibson SG Standard throughout.
Pop can be seen with a Fender Stratocaster in this live rendition of "I Wanna Be Your Dog "
This photo of Iggy Pop shows him with a Gibson J-200 guitar.
Used live (as is visible in this photo and elsewhere) and for lead vocals on The Weirdness, as stated by recording engineer Steve Albini in this October 1, 2008 Electronic Musician interview.
Does the approach ever differ from that?
Sure. For example, when I did the Stooges sessions [The Weirdness, Virgin, 2007]. The Stooges have always recorded with Iggy singing live along with the band, so that's the way we did the record. Iggy was set up in an isolation room, he had an [Shure] SM58 and a [Neumann] U48, and he could either go for the classy U48 sound or the onstage SM58 sound. He had a monitor playing his vocals back at him in the room. There were vocal speakers scattered around the rest of the band. So everyone could hear Iggy through the P.A., like always. That's not as common as overdubbing the vocals later, but I'm perfectly comfortable doing that if people want to do that.
