David Dalton Libros

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. Essays der preisgekrönten Autoren David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak und Luc Sante einen ausführlichen Anhang mit einer Chronologie der Bandgeschichte und ihrer medialen Rezeption, einer Diskografie und Kurzbiografien der Fotografen

A photographic tribute to the legendary young actor features a selection of childhood photographs, love letters, backstage and on-screen stills, and other memorabilia.

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. But most of all it defines the way James Dean himself mutated from farmer's boy to star, creating his own myth and becoming one of the most enduring symbols of post-war youth culture. 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.

The memoir offers an intimate look into the life of James Rosenquist, a prominent figure in the pop art movement known for his innovative three-dimensional works and complex color palette. Unlike his contemporaries, he steered clear of traditional techniques like stencils and silk screens, opting instead for vast canvases that blend brilliant and surreal imagery. His unique approach not only influenced his peers but also left a lasting impact on future generations, reshaping the landscape of twentieth-century painting.

The story of the rock band, The Grateful Dead, by its manager for 20 years from 1964. He recounts the band's evolution, the drug addiction, Woodstock, police busts, complicated relationships between band members and with other celebrities, and the death in 1995 of Jerry Garcia.

This is a memoir by Marianne Faithfull, recounting her days in the swinging '60s. She recalls her love and life with Mick Jagger, how Bob Dylan wooed her, the Rolling Stones courted her and finally, how drugs trapped her into a world where nothing else mattered but the next fix.

The Rough Guide to The Philppines is the ultimate guide to this stunning archipelago. A 24-page full-colour section introduces the country and its highlights, from the remote sun-kissed islands off the East coast to the lagoons of Palawan and the tribal villages of the Cordilleras. Each region of the country is covered in-depth, with the pick of the sights and activities listed at the start of the chapter. There are detailed and opinionated listings providing essential information on where to stay, eat, drink, dance, dive, surf, trek, kayak and sail. Finally, an informative and accessible background is given to Philippino history, culture, socitey, music, politics and environment.

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. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.

"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been 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 so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want to hear." The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick—and his beloved Janis Joplin—Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner Joe Perry. In this addictively readable memoir, told in the playful, poetic voice that is uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning. Tyler tells what it's like to be a living legend and the frontman of one of the world's most revered and infamous bands—the debauchery, the money, the notoriety, the fights, the motels and hotels, the elevators, limos, buses and jets, the rehab. He reveals the spiritual side that "gets lost behind the stereotype of the Sex Guy, the Drug Guy, the Demon of Screamin', the Terror of the Tropicana." And he talks about his epic romantic life and his relationship with his four children. As dazzling, bold, and out-on-the-edge as the man himself, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is an all-access backstage pass into this extraordinary showman's life.
