The Stooges' last show ended in a fight between the band and a group of bikers, documented on the album Metallic K.O. After its release Scott Thurston was added to the band on keyboards/electric piano and Bowie continued his support, but Iggy's drug problem persisted. The recording sessions produced the rock landmark Raw Power. Also, Ron Asheton grudgingly moved from guitar to bass to make way for Williamson to play guitar. It would not be a true reunion insofar as Dave Alexander, due to alcoholism, was unable to play on the record (he died in 1975). However, since neither Pop nor Bowie was satisfied with any players in England, they decided to re-unite The Stooges. With James Williamson signed on as guitarist, the search began for a rhythm section.

Pop's career received a boost from his relationship with Bowie when Bowie decided in 1972 to produce an album with Pop in England. In 1971, Iggy Pop and David Bowie met at Max's Kansas City, a nightclub and restaurant in New York City. Shortly after the new members joined, the group disbanded because of Pop's growing heroin addiction. The Stooges' first two albums The Stooges, (on which Iggy was credited, much to his displeasure, as 'Iggy Stooge'), produced by John Cale and Fun House, sold poorly. In 1968, one year after their live debut and now dubbed The Stooges, the band signed with Elektra Records, again following in the footsteps of The Doors, who were Elektra's biggest act at the time (reportedly, Pop called Moe Howard to see if it was all right to call his band 'The Stooges,' to which Howard responded by merely saying 'I don't care what they call themselves, as long as they're not the Three Stooges!' and hung up the phone). Other exploits of Pop include rolling around in broken glass, exposing himself to the crowd and vomiting on stage. Pop was the first performer to do a stage-dive, which he started at a concert in Detroit. Morrison's extreme behavior, while performing in a popular band, inspired the young Pop to push the boundaries of stage performance. The seeds of Iggy Pop's stage persona were sown when he saw The Doors perform in 1967 at the University of Michigan and was amazed by the stage antics and antagonism displayed by singer Jim Morrison. The band was composed of Iggy on vocals, Ron Asheton on guitar, Asheton's brother Scott on drums, and Dave Alexander on bass. Inspired by Chicago blues as well as bands like The Sonics and The MC5, he formed the Psychedelic Stooges and began calling himself Iggy. While in Chicago, he played drums in blues clubs, helped by Sam Lay (formerly of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band) who shared his connections with Iggy. After exploring local blues-style bands such as the Prime Movers (with brothers Dan and Michael Erlewine), he eventually dropped out of the University of Michigan and moved to Chicago to learn more about blues. One band was the Iguanas, from the name of which he adopted his future moniker Iggy.

Though his popularity has fluctuated through the years, many of Pop's songs have become well-known, including 'Lust for Life', 'The Passenger', 'Real Wild Child', 'Candy' (a duet with Kate Pierson of The B-52's), 'China Girl', 'Nightclubbing', 'Search and Destroy' and 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'. He is vocalist of influential protopunk band The Stooges (Pop and the other surviving members of the group reunited in 2003), having become known, since the late 1960s, for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics. Pop became known as 'Iggy' in high school, during which time he served as drummer for local blues band The Iguanas.
