After his first attempt at drug rehabilitation, Pop began a volatile yet ultimately successful solo career in 1977, commencing with the Bowie-produced albums ''[[The Idiot (album)|The Idiot]]'' (1977) and ''[[Lust for Life (Iggy Pop album)|Lust for Life]]'' (1977). Relocated to [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], Ron Asheton formed the short-lived band [[The New Order (band)|the New Order]] (not to be confused with the UK band [[New Order (band)|New Order]]) with Stooges alumni Recca and Thurston before performing with the Ann Arbor–based "anti-rock" group [[Destroy All Monsters (band)|Destroy All Monsters]] from 1977 to 1985. Until the Stooges' reformation, he supported himself as a working musician in various ensembles, including [[New Race]], Dark Carnival and the Empty Set. Williamson worked with Pop as a producer and engineer during his early solo career – the ''[[Kill City]]'' and ''[[New Values]]'' albums are a product of this collaboration – but began a long break from the music industry in favor of a career in [[electronics engineering]] beginning in 1980. He received his degree from [[California State Polytechnic University, Pomona]] in 1982 and retired from [[Sony]] as vice president of technical standards in 2009. Scott Asheton performed with [[Sonic's Rendezvous Band]] and the Scott Morgan Group while pursuing various day jobs. Dave Alexander died of [[pulmonary edema]] related to his alcohol-induced [[pancreatitis]] in 1975.

In 1997, a reissue of ''[[Raw Power]]'' remixed by Pop was released. In 1999, reissue label [[Rhino Handmade]] released the seven-disc box set ''[[1970: The Complete Fun House Sessions]]'', composed of the entire recording sessions associated with the ''Fun House'' album. 3,000 copies were pressed, selling out in less than a year.

In 2000, indie rock music veterans [[J Mascis]] (of [[Dinosaur Jr]]) and [[Mike Watt]] (of the [[Minutemen (band)|Minutemen]] and [[Firehose (band)|Firehose]]) teamed up with Ron Asheton and drummer George Berz to perform Stooges covers (and other material) live. Billed as [[J Mascis + The Fog|J. Mascis and the Fog]], the band performed sporadically before Pop became aware of them in 2003.
