This signed sheet music is for Search and Destroy by Iggy & The Stooges, autographed by punk pioneer Iggy Pop. Released in 1973 on the album Raw Power, Search and Destroy is one of the most explosive and influential tracks in rock history. Produced by David Bowie, the song opens with James Williamson’s searing guitar riff and unleashes Iggy Pop’s snarling declaration: “I’m a streetwalking cheetah with a heart full of napalm.” Raw, aggressive, and unapologetically chaotic, the track embodied the primal energy of The Stooges and laid the groundwork for the punk movement that would explode later in the decade. Though it was not a commercial hit upon release, Search and Destroy became a cult classic and has since been hailed as one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded, ranking high on lists from Rolling Stone and NME. Iggy Pop (born James Newell Osterberg Jr., 1947) is celebrated as the “Godfather of Punk” for his fearless stage presence, uninhibited performances, and uncompromising artistry. With The Stooges, he created a sound that was abrasive yet vital, influencing generations of punk, grunge, and alternative musicians. Raw Power, and particularly Search and Destroy, showcased his partnership with guitarist James Williamson and producer David Bowie, pushing rock into darker, louder, and more dangerous territory. Decades later, Iggy Pop remains an icon of rebellion, survival, and creativity, revered as one of rock’s most enduring figures. Owning this signed sheet music for Search and Destroy is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of rock history tied to one of the songs that defined punk’s birth. For fans of Iggy Pop, devotees of The Stooges, and collectors of groundbreaking rock memorabilia, this artifact captures the raw energy, danger, and uncompromising spirit of a track that still sounds revolutionary.
