The Detroit Free Press reports that Iggy
& The Stooges gear was stolen on the morning of Aug 4 in Montreal,
Canada. Take a look at the equipment and keep an eye out for the
instruments. Of course the band is continuing their tour with new and
borrowed equipment.
"Hey! I think I see one of the Amps!"
"The Michigan-bred rock band is counting
its losses after this morning’s theft of its rented tour truck, packed
with all of the group’s instruments and stage gear.
The equipment’s dollar value is estimated to be in the tens of
thousands, said Eric Fischer, the band’s road manager. But he described
some items as priceless — including the vintage Gibson bass that had
been Mike Watts’ go-to instrument since his Minutemen days in the 1980s.
“That bass would go in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday if we
could find it,” said Fischer. “We’re all just gutted.”
A full list and photos of the stolen gear can be seen HERE .
While we are on the subject of Iggy and the Stooges – scheduled to
hit the North Stage at the Virgin Mobile Festival on Sunday at 4:50PM
