The Decade That Rocked: Mark Weiss

This is a book I have been watching on Amazon for a while. Mark Weiss is one hell of a photographer and he captures the 80’s brilliantly in his book “The Decade That Rocked”.

This book for me is a must own as Mark’s pictures tell a 1000 stories as he goes through his photos by each year in the 80’s so it’s basically formatted like a coffee table scrap book.

Before I go any further, you can read about Weiss here…

Damn straight, Mark’s photos crafted the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980’s!

At almost 400 pages you not only get the pictures but also get the backstories about a lot of the pictures that Mark captured.

Also a real selling point is the photos many I have never seen before now..like the Mighty VH picture below…

Course what rock phot book would not have KISS and Aerosmith  in it?

Such a killer book and once you crack it open you can’t put it down. Many of the pics fold out as well…

One of my favourite pics is in black and white and features a female fan taken at a Dokken show and thanks to her she might have been the first person in the 80s to coin the term ‘Hair Metal” by actually holding a brush and throwing the devil horns at the same time! LOL

If you want a great read to go back and see what went on with the bands back a decades ago than grab “The Decade That Rocked” as these pictures and this book will Rock You!

deKe’s book score …..10/10!
