LISA S. JOHNSON IMAGE GUIDE 2 Armed with a macro lens, an incredible eye for detail, and a truly groundbreaking vision, Lisa S. Johnson’s 108 Rock Star GuitarsTM takes the world of fine art photography on a rock ‘n’ roll ride. Les Paul, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Richard Thompson, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Vai, Rick Nielsen, Michael Schenker, Zakk Wylde, Chrissie Hynde, Jeff Beck: never before has a photographer so artfully documented her up-close encounters with instruments belonging to the most revered guitarists of all time. Making bold use of unusually low depth- of-field photography, Lisa S. Johnson’s work illustrates how the particular wear and tear of a guitar reflect an artist’s personality, and highlights the ways in which such gifted players lay claim to an instrument with idiosyncratic modifications. Every photograph illuminates a wealth of detail that, until now, has never been seen except by an anointed few. A labor of love 15 years in the making, 108 Rock Star GuitarsTM is more than a unique collection of sumptuous photographs that appeals to photography and guitar connoisseurs in equal measure; it is an homage to the spiritual uplift that so many feel when hearing a favorite song or riff, a kind of backstage pass that offers fans a glimpse into the intimate relationship world-renowned artists have with their chosen instruments ... a glimpse fans could never have otherwise. Each rich, highly-saturated color photo is accompanied by informative, entertaining text, much of it gleaned from the artists themselves during the numerous shoots. In 108 Rock Star GuitarsTM, readers do not find the conventional mug shots of guitars so often seen in magazines and on manufacturer websites; instead, they are treated to a visionary take on the rock world’s favorite instrument. Evocative, sensuous—this is living guitar art. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Growing up in Canada in an artistic family, Lisa S. Johnson fell in love with melody and imagery and pursued a career in photography. After a successful ten-year stint working at Eastman Kodak Co., she met the owner of a vintage guitar shop in Memphis, Tennessee and began to exclusively photograph guitars. She divides her time between Las Vegas, Nevada and Malibu, California.

It was the most determinedly Japan-orientated live set to date, homing in as it did on numbers that appeared originally on the June 1967 LP Pops In Japan (tracks 1–3, 7, 11). A LITTLE BIT ME … was on Super Psychedelics from the same period [67/30], whereas WOOLY BULLY dated back to September 1965 ( The Ventures À Go-Go , [65/39]). For comment on the residue, see entries [66/49L] (DIAMOND HEAD: on All About The Ventures ) and [66/7L] (GINZA LIGHTS a Ventures-penned ‘special’ for Japan) + [67/2L] (A TASTE OF HONEY: both on On Stage Encore! ). The incorporation of two numbers from the previous live release, and the participation of Ms Chiyo Okumura on track 2, mean that we are down to under 20 minutes of new Ventures. But the music is absorbing in the main. It has frequently been remarked, at times with an air of resignation or even disapproval, that the Japanese numbers put The Ventures’ way lacked the muscle so characteristic of the group’s usual output: they are mellow, laid back, do not have the same drive.

    Lemmy Kilmister Was Born in Stoke-On-Trent

    Lemmy Kilmister was born in Stoke-on-Trent. Having been a member of the Rocking Vicars, Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind, Lemmy formed his own band, Motörhead. The band recently celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary in the business. Lemmy currently lives in Los Angeles, just a short walk away from the Rainbow, the oldest rock ’n’ roll bar in Hollywood. Since 1987, Janiss Garza has been writing about very loud rock and alternative music. From 1989 to1996 she was senior editor at RIP, at the time the World’s premier hard music magazine.

  • Hellfest 2017 – Saturday

    Hellfest 2017 – Saturday

    Hellfest 2017 – Saturday After a dozen of fresh croissants with a addition of a cup of coffee, I started to plan my second day in hell, and I realized few things. Firstly, yesterday I decided I crossed the healthy limit of “seen” bands. Secondly, If I try to beat yesterday’s record, then the third day I can easily spend in emergency department. Thirdly, getting the overwhelming heat coming from above, I surely should cover my head. I promised myself that today won’t be only a battle for entry on the most viewed concerts, but also an escape from daily life. For good starters I planned to verify the good reputation of The Dead Daisies. Their members are a mix of musicians from bands like Motley Crue, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and even Billy Idol and Dio. Well, my a bit fatigued colleagues managed to get ready shortly before Phill Campbell and The Bastard Sons performance. Scene veteran Phill, with a company of youngsters played a sentimental but good, strong rock-and-roll concert. Campbell was a guitarist in Motorhead since 1984, until the death of Lemmy’s, so “using” his repertoire is a serious commercial move. The heritage of Motorhead will surely catch the attention of their long die-hard fans, but nonetheless it was an honest and true concert. Besides Campbell, his three sons are playing – Todd, Dane and Tyla. The vocalist of the band, Neil Starr, who was clearly under the jitters, still managed to convincingly play hits like “Killed By Death” and “Ace Of Spades”. There were also few surprises.
