Tribute to Stooges' Ron Asheton will include music, slide show, personal tributes
Posted By HollyHoodUSA.TV: His raw sound helped inspire a generation of guitarists. On Saturday, friends and fans will remember the late Ron Asheton of Iggy & the Stooges at an elegant farewell set for 9 p.m. at Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts in Detroit.
BY RACHEL MAY • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • January 15, 2009 Word of Asheton's death spread like wildfire Jan. 6, the day he was found dead at his Ann Arbor home. Fans and musicians around the world couldn't say enough about the dirty and droning -- and often hypnotic -- sounds he unleashed from his guitar, which helped sculpt Stooges classics like "I Wanna Be Your Dog." But the loss was felt especially hard closer to home.

The Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton has been found dead at his Michigan home at the age of 60.The rocker's personal assistant contacted police on Monday (05Jan09) night after failing to reach the star for days, according to Detective Bill Stanford.
Officers were sent to Asheton's house in Ann Arbor to investigate and discovered his body on a couch in the living room at around midnight on Tuesday (06Jan09). Cops believe the star suffered a heart attack a few days previously, although the official cause of death has yet to be determined.
Foul play has been ruled out, and autopsy and toxicology reports are expected soon.
Asheton was a co-songwriter and founding member of The Stooges, along with his brother, drummer Scott, bassist Dave Alexander, and frontman Iggy Pop in 1967.
He left the group in the 1970s after the flop of their third album Raw Power, and went on to form other bands, including supergroup The Wylde Rattz - comprising of Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Mudhoney's Mark Arm.
The Stooges reunited in 2003 and released an album of new material in 2007 - their first in 34 years - titled The Weirdness.

Punk is an anti-establishment rock music genre and movement that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock.
They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-government lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels. By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement.
The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world. Punk quickly, though briefly, became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive clothing styles and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies. By the beginning of the 1980s, even faster, more aggressive styles such as hardcore and Oi! had become the predominant mode of punk rock.
Musicians identifying with or inspired by punk also pursued a broad range of other variations, giving rise to post-punk and the alternative rock movement. By the turn of the century, new pop punk bands such as Green Day were bringing the genre widespread popularity decades after its inception.
