yeah i jus tsaw this on the dinosaur myspace page. that blows dead donkey dick. hope they get their stuff back.

Fucking lame. Watt better get that Gibson back. That is my favorite bass of his to see him wail on.

Isn't that a fake? Here's what Myspace told me

"The link you are trying to visit has been disabled.

You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread.

You may be asking yourself, "Hey, what was it about that link that got it in trouble?" An excellent question! Usually, it's one of the following reasons:

- The link was spam! No one likes spammers, and we don't like their links.

- You almost got phished! There are people out there who want to steal your MySpace password. They want to log in as you and send spam, harass your friends, change your profile, and generally run amok. Phishing pages are usually designed to look like MySpace to trick you. Other sites may also ask for your MySpace login information to customize your profile, insert videos or slide shows, track visitors, or any number of other things. Don't make it easy for them. ONLY USE YOUR MYSPACE LOGIN INFO ON WWW.MYSPACE.COM!!

- Viruses are not fun! Neither is adware, spyware, or malware. We cut the links to places that are known sources of infection.

If you really did want to check out some spam, viruses, or phishing pages, we're really sorry to have interrupted. We're sure you can find it elsewhere. There's plenty on the Internet "

Oh, no, sorry.

Real link.

Damn that's awful news!
Oh well atleast I get to jam on my new equipment... THAT'S RITE TRY AND CATCH ME!!!1!

"FROM WATT HIMSELF"
danny's relative!!!

hahaha

sucks though, hope Watt gets his stuff back.

Payback for The Weirdness.

shame... they dont deserve that.. surely watt doesnt at least.. shame!

I think no ones deserves this kind of things. Hope they get it soon.

Last thing I read was that the truck was found a couple of days later, but without any of the equipment inside. You can read Mike Watt's tour diary here:
http://www.hootpage.com/hoot_stoogestourdiary2008b.html

The Stooges did the opening show for a new club in Rotterdam last week. Borrowed/new equipment or not, it was awesome! I didn't even mind them playing those few new songs. My only complaints were being soaked in beer and getting jumped-on by a sweaty and semi-naked Iggy multiple times.... eeww!

How's getting jumped on by Iggy bad?

I bet merely touching him healed all your illnesses.

Maybe not bad, but I felt somewhat ambiguous about it.
The last time he didn't jump but surfed over me and for a couple of seconds (maybe less) I looked him straight in the eyes from about 30cm/1ft distance. It was intimidating to be so close to a rock legend in a small club, but at the same time he's also a sweaty and smelly 61-year-old-guy, if you know what I mean. He looked like a ghost almost. I still have the image burned in my mind.
