Fuck You: Rock and Roll Portraits [Paperback]

Neil Zlozower (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 3, 2008

For more than 30 years, legendary music photographer Neil Zlozower has shot a who's-who of rock and metal titans. When the session demands, Neil has been known to yell, "Give me some fucking attitude!" The go-to gesture in the next photo frame is nearly always the rocker giving Neil the finger. Fck Yu assembles a veritable R 'n' R hall of fame of musicians flipping the birda playful parade of obscenity and a celebration of pure rock attitude. Here and telling the world to fuck off are Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Judas Priest, Slipknot, Ratt, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Bon Jovi, Slayer, Anthrax, and many more, sharing the love with each flying finger.

Neil does nice work but be warned... the book is a tad smaller than a 5x7 photo.

This review is from: Fuck You: Rock and Roll Portraits (Paperback)

I ordered this book in conjunction with Neil Zlozower's other photography book, Motley Crue: A Visual History, 1983-2005 and together you get the greatest collection of Motley Crue ever caught on film, AND many of the best known rockers of that thirty years or so giving you The Finger!!! As with Neil's second book, you get to see alternate pictures from well known photo sessions of many bands. These shots where they are gleefully flipping off the camera, usually didn't make it into the likes of Cream, Circus, or KERRANG! They are all gathered here and there are some on-location shots that just blew me away, ie, Nikki Sixx and Robbin Crosby (RIP) in shorts in Tahiti!! That picture alone was work the price paid. It's a older book so get it before it disappears completly, you'll be glad you did!

This book is very reasonably priced. The cover photo alone
was well worth the cost. The book contains several interesting photos
of some of the more well known groups as well as some other bands
I never even knew existed. The photography is great and many of the
poses and compositions of the photos are quite amusing.
