Der Berühmtheitsgrad, den die Rolling Stones im Laufe ihrer fast 60-jährigen Karriere erreicht haben, ist beispiellos; ihre bekanntesten Riffs und eingängigsten Textzeilen haben sich unauslöschlich in unser kollektives Gedächtnis eingegraben. Mit ihrer hypnotisierenden Präsenz auf und jenseits der Bühne setzten die Stones Maßstäbe dafür, wie eine Rockband klingen und sich in Szene setzen sollte. Sie waren die ersten, die instinktiv verstanden, dass das Image einer Band , ihr Aussehen, ihr Style, mindestens so wichtig ist wie die Musik, und dass die Fotografie dabei eine entscheidende Rolle spielt. „Kleidung und Frisuren sind stets tadellos“, schreibt der Autor Luc Sante. „Sie spielten immer nur sich selbst, aber mit so außergewöhnlicher Finesse, da sie die Präsenz der Kamera spürten und wussten wie gut sie auf den Fotos aussehen werden." So ist es wenig überraschend, dass viele der größten Fotografen in der Geschichte des Mediums sie fotografieren wollten. f In enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Stones entstanden, zeichnet diese aktualisierte Ausgabe auf über 450 Seiten anhand von zahllosen Fotos und Zeitdokumenten die erstaunliche Historie der Band und ihren unverschämt lässigen Lifestyle nach. Viele der aus Archiven weltweit zusammengetragenen Bilder wurden hier zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht. Zum ersten Mal konnte man auf die privaten Archive der Rolling Stones in New York und London zugreifen , was manche Überraschung bereithält. Für Mick, Keith, Charlie und Ronnie ist dieses Buch das offizielle fotografische Archiv der Rolling Stones. Der Band enthält: über 450 Seiten mit fantastischen Bildern von einigen der berühmtesten Fotografen unserer Zeit , darunter David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz und Norman Parkinson.

Now in paperback and with a new foreword, a kaleidoscopic look at the many faces of Bob Dylan, legendary folk singer-songwriter and winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. For almost half a century, Bob Dylan has been a primary catalyst in rock's shifting sensibilities. Few American artists are as important, beloved, and endlessly examined, yet he remains something of an enigma. Who, we ask, is the "real" Bob Dylan? Is he Bobby Zimmerman, yearning to escape Hibbing, Minnesota, or the Woody Guthrie wannabe playing Greenwich Village haunts? Folk Messiah, Born-Again Bob, Late-Elvis Dylan, Jack Fate, or Living National Treasure? In Who Is That Man? David Dalton--cultural historian, journalist, screenwriter, and novelist--paints a revealing portrait of the rock icon, ingeniously exposing the three-card monte games he plays with his persona. Guided by Dalton's cutting-edge insights and myth-debunking point of view, Who Is That Man? follows Dylan's imaginative life, integrating actual events with Dylan's words and those of the people who know him most intimately. Drawing upon Dylan's friends and fellow eyewitnesses--including Marianne Faithfull, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Stampfel , Larry "Ratso" Sloman, Eric Andersen, Nat Hentoff, Andrew Oldham, Nat Finkelstein, and others--this book will provide a new perspective on the man, the myth, and the musical era that forged them both.
