"Not to be confused with The Three Stooges" - wikipedia
Iggy Pop and The Stooges is an American rock band from Ann Arbor, Michigan first active from 1967 to 1974, and later reformed in 2003. Although they sold few records in their original incarnation and often performed for indifferent or hostile audiences, the Stooges are widely regarded as instrumental in the rise of punk rock, as well as influential to alternative rock, heavy metal and rock music at large. The Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Iggy Pop is often credited with inventing or popularizing stage diving in popular rock music. Stage diving can cause serious injuries. One hilarious example is when Peter Gabriel of Genesis stage dived during the end of their song "The Knife", landing on his foot and breaking his ankle.
