Ron Asheton
One of the most influential guitarists (if not the greatest) of all time. Along with Iggy Pop, his friend Dave Alexander and his brother Scott he formed The Stooges, the band which all other bands try to be. They gained no commercial success in their original incarnation but have since been credited with basically inventing punk rock, heavy metal and alternative rock. Although he had never played guitar before (he had only played bass) his minimalist, primitive style which focused on power rather than technique was revolutionary. He is recognisable for his use of feedback, fuzz and wah, as well as his incredibly emotive guitar style. Although he wasn't recognised as the great guitarist he was in The Stooges original incarnation the songs he wrote including: "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "No Fun" and "1969" have become recognised as classics. The Stooge's second album Fun House has been praised by everyone by from Jack White to Mark E. Smith as the greatest album ever made. A year after the release of “Fun House” all his band mates turned to heroin. Ron saved them on countless occasions until a certain Mr. David Bowie rescued Iggy who got the band together for the album Raw Power. For Raw Power Ron was demoted to bass in favour of James Williamson as guitarist. This incarnation of The Stooges (now dubbed Iggy And The Stooges) also had no commercial success but “Raw Power” has since been recognised in hindsight as a classic and Ron's bass playing as a big influence. After The Stooges disbanded, Ron went on to worked with other Detroit bands such as Destroy All Monsters and The New Order (not to be confused with the UK band), although Destroy All Monsters gained little success they had a small cult following in the UK and their native Detroit however they have been largely overlooked in recent years. Playing in bands from place to place he eventually worked alongside Mark Arm, Thurston Moore and Mike Watt under the guise of The Wylde Ratttz for the soundtrack to Velvet Goldmine. However in 2003 The Stooges reunited. Playing on the Iggy Pop album Skull Ring they went on to go on a series of hugely successful reunion tours (this time with the praise they deserved originally) these tours lasted from 2003 to 2008 with more planned for 2009. During this they recorded two tracks for a Jim Kimbrough tribute album called "Sunday Nights" and a full length album The Weirdness. In 2007 Ron released a signature model Reverend guitar. On the 6th of December 2009, at the age of 60 Ron was found dead in his Ann Arbour home. Police suspected no foul play and evidence suggests it was a heart attack. Ron Asheton's legacy will live on through the countless number of guitarists and musicians inspired by him. R.I.P Ron Asheton

THINGS ARE GETTING A LITTLE WILD AT CAILLOU'S HOUSE!
The thing is amazing. Also everything on the back is true!
Professor - I am loving this ....not all professors are blasted toward intellectualism. I believe smart comes in all different sizes, color, beauty, and personality. I will use this coffee cup proudly. Loving it in Denver. Jax
It was great! Very hard to break and easy to hold! Also very cute
I sent my friend the Wordle URL for her to enjoy. She did her first Wordle and got so excited, she sent me a text including the answer she got. This showed at the top of my screen and I read it - there was no way to un-read it so I was ... wordlefucked for the day!
Solid mug. Funny design. Fair price
My dad hits me with his mug. It's very very durable
I got the Capybara one made by FAUBCOK and it was so good quality!
i loved the mug, gave it to my grandmother on her birthday
The mug is great! I bought it as a gag gift for a friend, and I didn't really think it was going to be a good mug, but when I got it I was super surprised! It is really high quality feeling ceramic and the print is very clear and good looking. It was also packaged really well, and the shipping process was nice too! It did take longer than I thought to get here, but it's understandable as I did order it custom. In all it is an amazing mug and I think I'm gonna have to buy one for myself.
This mug is great! It comes in perfect condition and I love that you can change the definitions! I put my name and then I put the definition as ‘the best person’. Made my day every time I picked it up.
My name is Asher, I looked my name up a few days ago and we all had a good laugh. Now, this mug is my go to morning mug for drinking my herbal tea and plotting to take over the realms.
I just love it. Just like I ordered!
Exactly as promised.
To beginulate, the muglification of the vessel is both pleasing to the eye as well as the hand. Secondly, the option of choosing one's own colors adds to the lessening if the so called " buyer's remorse" which so often accompanies modern "on line" purchases.
My husband absolutely loves this! This was a difficult product to find but it turned out perfectly! He was cracking up. Definitely worth the buy.
I bought this mug for my daughter for Valentine’s Day. She saw the different descriptions of her name on your site, and read every one of them!! She then found a mug with everything written about her name on it. So, I am surprising her with it. The mug looks great. Quick delivery!
I live in a Hillbilly Condo & love my flamingo pink mug.
Annie from the customer service team helped me out tremendously with some adjustments that I wanted done after my order was placed. I really appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond for my request. The product was received exactly how I wanted it! One happy customer over here. Thanks!
