Skull Ring is Iggy Pop's fourteenth studio album, released on November 4, 2003. It was recorded between 2002 and 2003 in various studios, including Iggy Pop's personal studio in Miami. The album marks a partial return to collaboration with The Stooges, as it includes three songs recorded with the band's original lineup (Iggy Pop, Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton), though it is not a full Stooges album.
The album also features collaborations with other musicians, including members of Sum 41 and Green Day, as well as producer Grecco Buratto. It received generally positive reviews, highlighting the energy of the Stooges tracks and the stylistic diversity. Commercially, it peaked at number 145 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
The songs with The Stooges, such as 'Little Electric Chair' and 'Skull Ring', were well received and foreshadowed the band's official reunion for the album 'The Weirdness' in 2007. The album also includes covers and experimental tracks, showcasing Iggy Pop's versatility.
