Punk-guitar pioneer Ron Asheton of Stooges dies at age 60
Chicago Tribune United States
? That album produced classic songs such as ?I Wanna Be Your Dog? and ?No Fun. ? A 1970 follow-up ?Fun House? was named after the Stooges? hang-out in Ann Arbor and added free jazz solos inspired by John Coltrane and a funkier beat borrowed from James Brown. ?You take a little of the truth from everyone and mix it with a little bit of your blood and it comes out with your music? Asheton said. His iconic riffs were the basis for many of the band?s best-loved songs. He played in a simplified style that cut against the grain of the guitar-god era when long blues-based solos were the standard by which musicians were judged. Yet a few years ago he was ranked among the top guitar players of all time in a Rolling Stone magazine poll. ?Everyone thinks it?s really simple: ?Hey it?s three chords.
