The Decade That Rocked de Mark Weiss

The Decade That Rocked

Autor Mark Weiss, Richard Bienstock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2020

Notăm cu interes modul în care curentul hard rock și hair metal al anilor '80, definit prin exces și energie brută, continuă să exercite o fascinație culturală majoră asupra publicului contemporan. The Decade That Rocked nu este doar un album fotografic, ci un documentar vizual visceral al unei ere în care muzica se trăia fără filtre. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea lui Mark Weiss de a transcende rolul de simplu observator; el a fost „unul de-ai lor”, un artist care a capturat spiritul rebel al unor trupe precum Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses sau KISS direct din mijlocul acțiunii. Experimentăm, prin cele peste 700 de imagini, o proximitate rară față de subiecți. Calitatea producției în format hardback permite detaliilor — de la texturile costumelor de scenă până la transpirația și adrenalina concertelor Live Aid — să devină palpabile. Ca și Nöthin' But a Good Time, volumul pune în valoare istoria orală și atmosfera hedonistă a decadei, dar cu un accent pe componenta vizuală și pe estetica fotografică ce a definit imaginea rock-ului mondial. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe interviuri, aici imaginea dictează ritmul, fiind completată de povești nespuse despre arestări la concerte KISS sau sesiuni foto legendare. Subliniem importanța acestui portofoliu care include coperte de albume intrate în istorie. Această lucrare reprezintă apogeul carierei sale de fotograf de studio și de turneu, oferind o perspectivă mult mai personală și brută asupra industriei muzicale față de antologiile pur descriptive. Este o experiență senzorială completă care onorează moștenirea vizuală a unei generații ce a refuzat să dea volumul mai încet.

Despre autor

Mark Weiss este un fotograf legendar, a cărui carieră a început aproape accidental când, adolescent fiind, s-a strecurat la un concert cu un aparat de 35mm împrumutat. Talentul său de a capta energia pură a muzicii l-a propulsat rapid în topul preferințelor revistei Creem și ale marilor case de discuri. Deși numele său apare și în contexte literare sau academice prin diverse antologii de poezie precum The Whole Island, Weiss rămâne consacrat la nivel mondial pentru „ochiul” său fotografic care a modelat estetica vizuală a genurilor hard rock și metal, devenind el însuși o figură iconică a industriei muzicale.

Descriere scurtă

This world-class photography book, exclusively featuring the work of photographer Mark Weiss, documents the superstars of ’80s rock, showcasing era-defining images as well as never-before-published photographs, exclusive interviews with the icons of the era, and behind-the-scenes stories from the decade’s most historic concerts, festivals, music video shoots, and backstage moments. Here the images that defined rock’s most riotous era are presented along with the wild stories behind them. Learn what went down at the photo shoot for Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet—including the scouting trips to the Jersey Shore in search of the “Slippery Girl” for the infamous cover that was shelved in the U.S.—and on set during the shooting of Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” Mötley Crüe’s “Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room,” Ozzy’s “Miracle Man,” Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” and Bon Jovi’s “Bad Medicine.” The Decade That Rocked chronicles, for the first time, Weiss’s collected work, delivering a powerful illustrated homage to the flash flood of sex, spandex, music, makeup, and mayhem that hit the ’80s hard rock scene like a hurricane.

Recenzii

"Mark Weiss is a rock star. If he didn't have a camera hanging around his neck, it would be a Les Paul guitar."
— Gene Simmons, Kiss

Notă biografică

Mark “Weissguy” Weiss' first published work, a centerfold of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, appeared in Circus magazine in 1978. By the early ’80s, Mark was shooting KISS, Steven Tyler, Ozzy, and other rock legends in his New York studio. No other photographer staged as many studio shoots or had the behind-the-scenes access that Weiss had to the ’80s metal and hard rock scene. To his credit is Mötley Crüe’s first appearance in a national publication, Oui Magazine in 1982, countless magazine covers and spreads worldwide, and the iconic imagery for many multi-platinum albums including Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet and Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry. He has traveled the world photographing tours for Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Van Halen, KISS, and Bon Jovi. In September 2013, Weiss was honored to unveil his own memorabilia case at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. His photographs are also displayed exclusively throughout Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theatre and the Venetian in Las Vegas for the hit musical Rock of Ages. He lives in Rumson, NJ.

He may not play the guitar, but that camera is his guitar. He’s a rockstar.” – Gene Simmons "Mark’s energy, his creativity, his drive, his positive attitude and his enthusiasm that make him one of the legends of rock photography. It’s why his work—both old and new—is still so in demand today. Mark Weiss inspires greatness in all he turns his camera lens on. But don’t take my word for it. Just look at the pictures in this book." – Dee Snider “His pictures say as much as the music” – Rob Halford “He was one of the guys.

Each and every photo exemplifies the trust and the synergy between photographer and subject.
