"THE KIDS ARE GONNA LOVE THIS ONE," -- "IT'S GOT HAND CLAPS IN IT!"

PIC INFO: Spotlight on American garage rock/proto-punk band THE STOOGES in the middle of recording sessions for "The Stooges" (probably in the middle of "No Fun" right here), The Hit Factory, NYC, c. April 1969. 📸: Glen Craig.

^Or does there happen to be another track on their self-titled debut LP that also features prominent hand-clapping?

Rock in Peace, Dave, Scott, & Ron of the original Stooges line-up -- God rest them all.

"...I STARTED WEARING THE IRON CROSS IN THE CULT BECAUSE I WAS INFLUENCED BY THE LOOK OF THE ASHETON BROTHERS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Billy Duffy's original German Army WWII "Iron Cross" that featured extensively in the photoshoot's for the "Love" album.

OVERVIEW: “Around 1982 I worked on a stall in Kensington Market, London that sold vintage military clothing and memorabilia and I picked up this old German medal there. I’d always had an interest in war history, as does Ian, but I started wearing the Iron Cross in The Cult because I was influenced by the look of the Asheton Brothers on the sleeve of the classic debut album from THE STOOGES. It was part of my psychedelic biker look that also included hippy beads with a peace sign, the Triumph Motorcycle belt buckle, leather pants and the paisley shirts.”

-- BILLY DUFFY (English rock musician/ CULT guitarist), c. January 2013
