I think you missed Blue Oyster Cult (all Jewish) and Toto & Styx, I believe have Jewish members.

…And Iggy Pop is NOT Jewish! His Father was raised by two Jewish sisters that adopted him, he himself was not Jewish. And his Mother was not Jewish at all!
Shalom!

Hey!
You wrote back!
I didn’t think you would.
I thought your web-site was a non-responding one.
I’m not Jewish but I have many Jeiwsh associates in College.
Now before I begin… No disrespect! I RESPECT Jewish culture! It’s just that Jello Biafra (Eric Boucher) is NOT Jewish! You may have interviewed him and replenished the facts, but truth be told he’s NOT Jewish only beacause he is supported by Jewish corporatins (again, no disrespect!) so he made it up like David Bowie said in the 70’s when he saluted like a Nazi and claimed straight after when the press thought (and got into a hullaballo) and the press that he said he is Jewish, when in fact his Mother and so on is Irish Cathoilc (look it up, if you don’t believe me.)
SHALOM! 🙂
Peace, out! V

Karl: I’m afraid I don’t really see your point. Jello’s not Jewish — well, he’s 1/8, but that’s a technicality — but that’s been covered above. Was there a particular criticism you wanted to make?

Iggy Pop AND his mother have repeatedly commented on being Jewish in television and magazine interviews. The same with David Bowie, David’s father was not Jewish but his mother was (which is what counts in the Jewish community). I am not not sure if anybody in Iggy’s (James) family went to the temple, actually practiced the faith. David said that neither he or his parents did when he was a child but that his sister did and that when David was in his twenties, he studied Kabbalah (Jewish mysticsm).David has joked about putting together a “Jew Wave Supergroup” consisting of himself, Philip Glass, John Zorn, Lou Reed, and Leonard Cohen. I say that he take it further and invite Simon and Garfunkel as well. They could all harmonize and record an album of Jew Wop music. (the Wop in that is NOT a racial slur).

great list of jewish rockers! however, i don’t believe iggy pop is jewish( according to wikipedia, and his bio). also, david johansen is half jewish( new york dolls lead singer). there is also some controversy over jello biafra’s jewish heritage. i actually don’t think it matters who is jewish and who is not. pride in ones ethnicity tends to lead to racism and “nazi” istic philosophies.

You got it wrong on Ace Frehley. He is actually of Dutch heritage, not Jewish. He was raised in a Lutheran household, and there is documentation that he maintains a deference to the Nazis. One recent book claims he would dress up in Nazi uniforms and taunt Gene and Paul. The same book also claims the SS in KISS were his homage to the Nazis, and that Paul and Gene were too naive to realize it, and believed Frehley when he said they were lightning bolts.
