Thinking about it, is quite amusing. Could you imagine Iggy's A&R rep from Columbia looking Iggy in the eye and saying "hey, the record company wants you to record a ballad!" I am sure Iggy was like WTH! What's funny is Gimme Danger reminds me of a more decadent Door's track, so maybe that is what they were going for. But I agree regarding Ballads, when done right they can reveal the soul of an act. Thanks for commenting.Did I mention I LOVE everything Iggy Pop? Well I love everything Iggy Pop, LOL. I agree.

The record company's reasoning probably went something like "ballads sell", but from a producer's standpoint, I think you push them to try it. If a band has a real soul beneath their facade, this is often where that soul reveals itself best, stripped of the convention we're accustomed to, the one that blinds us to the deeper truths. Or something. I don’t know, man, I think asking a band like The Stooges to record a ballad is a good move.
