Guitar legend Ron Asheton died a few years ago; he was an under-appreciated rock-guitar genius.
After about 30 years of a fairly low-profile post-Stooges career, the man who played those amazingly brutal and beautiful guitar parts on The Stooges' ferocious Fun House finally began to reap the rewards of his so-called primitive genius.
He played 150 shows worldwide with the reformed Stooges (and was quoted saying he'd become a millionaire as a result).
I took this photo on March 27th, 1973 at the now-shuttered Ford Theater in Detroit at the premiere concert for Raw Power. I was there w/ Brian Zabawski (who got me interested in the band); we were covering their return for Rock magazine. Asheton had, by then, been usurped to the bass chair by new Stooge James Williamson.
