Still kicking myself for missing out on their 2007 L.A. tour . That was the last show of theirs in the Los Angeles area with both of the Asheton brothers ( Ronnie Asheton , Scott's older brother , was the Stooges' original guitarist ; he passed away in 2009 ) .
I've long dreaded the days when all of my favourite artists would pass on ; today I'm realising my fears . From Andy Warhol in 1987 , to Scott Asheton , and eveyone in between , the days have come .
Rest In Peace , Scottie !
