David Dalton Libros

Der Berühmtheitsgrad der Rolling Stones, die fast 60 Jahre aktiv sind, ist beispiellos; ihre bekanntesten Riffs und eingängigen Texte sind fest im kollektiven Gedächtnis verankert. Mit ihrer hypnotisierenden Bühnenpräsenz setzten sie Maßstäbe für Rockbands und erkannten früh, dass das Image einer Band, ihr Aussehen und Stil ebenso wichtig sind wie die Musik. Der Autor Luc Sante bemerkt, dass sie stets tadellos gekleidet waren und ihre Präsenz vor der Kamera meisterhaft inszenierten. Dies machte sie zu einem begehrten Motiv für viele der größten Fotografen der Geschichte. Diese aktualisierte Ausgabe dokumentiert auf über 450 Seiten die erstaunliche Geschichte der Band und ihren lässigen Lifestyle, unterstützt durch zahlreiche Fotos und Zeitdokumente. Viele Bilder aus globalen Archiven werden hier erstmals veröffentlicht. Zudem gewährt das Buch Zugang zu den privaten Archiven der Rolling Stones in New York und London, was einige Überraschungen bereithält. Es präsentiert über 450 Seiten mit fantastischen Bildern von renommierten Fotografen wie David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz und Andy Warhol sowie Essays von preisgekrönten Autoren. Ein ausführlicher Anhang mit Chronologie, Diskografie und Kurzbiografien der Fotografen rundet das Werk ab.

James Dean: The Mutant King is an exceptional biography. It presents the complete story of James Dean's life based on lengthy research and interviews with people he worked with, his family, friends and many lovers, as well as his work in television, the theatre and cinema, with particular emphasis on the filming of East of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause and Giant.

David Dalton's book has already achieved the status of cult. Not only is it an authoritative biography of the archetypal modern hero, but it is also a visionary, enigmatic insight to a figure whose early death ensured his durability in the minds of the young.

This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock ’n’ roll’s politics of delinquency.

"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have countless outrageous stories, and I'm ready to share them all—unexpurgated tales of debauchery, sex & drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence. Born to a classical pianist in the Bronx, Steven Tyler was destined for rock stardom. Influenced by Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, and his beloved Janis Joplin, he took to the streets and stages as a teenager before meeting his "mutant twin," Joe Perry. In this captivating memoir, Tyler recounts the rise, fall, and resurgence of Aerosmith over three decades, sharing the essence of the music that defines it all. He reveals the life of a living legend and frontman of one of the most revered bands—filled with debauchery, money, notoriety, and the chaos of fame, including rehab. Tyler also explores the spiritual side often overshadowed by his public persona and reflects on his epic romantic life and his relationship with his four children. Dazzling and bold, this memoir offers an all-access backstage pass into the extraordinary life of an iconic showman."
