five and trucks uh... now we have another guide s for yes very interesting
actually john motto we just left also used to be in music is a drummer i think
for
director and from not mistaken
uh... so believes they have a copy of music
is it document you're coming out on p_b_s_ it's called rock prophecies
and itself so that'll be available on dvd on society in september fourteenth
and scary throughout the fall
and it's about rockstar diver robert knight
who actually joins us now
thank you very much
far greater here it is a very interesting stories usa
team pictures of people like rolling stone
listening as it was that one up and john b beating aircraft that barracks with
but the prices
all all of those pictures before they even got famous
so lapd requests are actually we're taking after won't let that one before
anybody word
steven knew who they were they will call the new york birds
jeff beck it took me about a band that jimmy was doing
and i convince young writer at rolling stone the family downtown l_a_ as a
freelance photographer and i actually showed up but i was way under age to get
in the venue where they were playing
and it would look like the almost famous story trip pictures before it happened
at cameron crowe are the box opera called the hotel inventor of the young
guy here want to shoot the band to be paid for the phantom of the hotel
are not all they would let that when they brought me in his road crew
i wasn't allowed to step on the floor but i was on the fate with leaped up on
the very first show in america
sets up sucks vice versa myself and so that's an interesting servants how do
you
find out the fun
what these groups are
any which was our version which was going to be huge or do you
teeth excessive of everyone i was coming up and then
one that they've been but i would read every poll liked it because
i found from a group of why don't the fun of a baptist minister and not even
allowed to listen to rock and roll music of the cat
and wondered why kiki i probably publications that the brit that left
and there were all these pictures of the band-like never heard of and photo dot
on the weather unbelievable so i cut away for a catalog and actually have a
confirmed cases these records before they ever came out in america
and i would champion to the local beer date on the radio stations and why i was
going on about the kinks in the mood was pretty things that
but i was a very good carpenter dialogue buying in in all through the pampered
cisco thing like the better jefferson airplane by avoided taking their
pictures even though i was there with them
eccentricity and so
you've talked a little bit about those pants so it is all these legendary
stories of enough sex drugs and rock roll set it up
how much of that is true
well i mean from paper that there were under
reported no exaggerated but
alum you know i actually for a young guy got to be a lot of i don't think things
but it was probably considered scream normal in the fixed either that
experimental periods you know
so it's just like you were seeing everything for the first time people
belong here are crazy clothing people spoken drugs and
i mean it would all in a state of proper you are both didn't balcony thing that
would happen to them all part of a prototype i think so what happened a
rock-and-roll i mean because right now we saw the same
insights reserach lorna
not brett corporate now
because uh... you know back of the day it was buried luther what the backstage
apple three-pronged limit
i mean none of that except that people will really happy to be a photographer
because of no update you actually had to be a highly trained
photographer that knew about dormant processing and you didn't have all the
photo gadget that we have today today anybody with a digital camera convey
their a photographer and marched out of the front of the page
but back then it was a very
small number of people and there's probably a thousand of them
letters though out there
carrying on that were back there in the pit sixty eight sixty nine and seventy
you know and um...
and uh... it's just changed out the whole
milken holiday shouldn't radio-controlled asian the music
industry property that you nothing about music buying record companies i think we
all have but they would widen picketed the way that the tax so if you think
music industry is not nearly as authentic as i was back down
well quote
major record companies i don't think i was original however with social
networking in the internet and things like ferris radio
people in vibrant part of the world are exposed to a movie music i mean i would
think that there are all the time in my car and i'm here in band before you ever
hear them on component radio stations so
is it possible today for young band deeply hurt discovered uh... socially
promote himself on the internet actually do phenomenal record failed and not even
have a deal
you know perhaps this is the worst example but also in some ways it's also
the best example
logo eleven adjust and they were all for you to you know you happy elementary is
that
paragon of rock
but at the same time
theory was dissected and he got the severed and you know
and it goes to show you the power of the
of the knew me and i would actually hang out with us together that we were
talking about it because he had a hand in that
air but you don't ever since i was a kid that with all these somebody that fills
filled that drop in people's saying that lasted three four years and it was
probably a lot of money and then usually
ended in a horrible story which you know i hope that would happen to the kids but
you know if you look back over the
forty from thing you know that they're working and nothing but you know the
weight garrett story would be a good example of how we body that made a lot
of money that
created chaos that's later you've had a terrible crash and burn
was on a robert knight
uh... heat is the subject of the rock prophecies missus documentary about
is work is a photographer in the rock in the streets on p_b_s_ throughout the
fall dvds coming out on september fourteenth so robert uni
no israel one dime
and the you'd stands out in all
different rock legends that you've hung out with
the most interesting rocker
i think yep back because
jeff beck has been true himself from day one
he was an innovator on the department we had to fill eric clapton with step in
the art brut
and yet over forty two years of working with him he's done nothing but push the
envelope with the depart player
and from time to take the decade before anybody understand any of his record
tonight they are all the people
that i've ever photographed over forty two years he's but we would be
one of the most innovative and interesting to work with and he doesn't
like to be photographed
but always challenging thing but the film when with john chester capabilities
i really john says that if property has waited with a whole movie would be on
jeff backlit
nobody had ever done anything on jeff you can't finally documentaries on him
and when he got his own last year lie the rotting scott
you can put a beginner about him correctly
so i think michael mcfaul they were the first behind the scenes where you see
jeff beck at home
playing the part probably about the guitar where he worried you know if
everything came from
and you know when i pretty much at the same thing with santana and a quite a
few other people so i kinda went back to my roots and put those guys in the
movies
and then introduce the project talent
felts social awkwardness guitars loss som appeal over the years and it does
yeah i personally have i mean
jaa
what we haven't worked with him proprietor period in the eighties were
electronica music became u_n_ innovative because we were just finding out about
electronic
hope that the part where would reduce to a favorable
and enviado entire band for their careers that
really didn't have the power players in the morning that little
little interest but i think that you know it even halen
flash and steve are in the early eighties in the late nineteen award you
know probably early ninety blvd
kind of property prop back
and flashes definitely
back into a favorable thing and probably the most recognized guitar player and
earlier not because of his guitar playing a fairly but because he's the
fed a piece of a team that you know tend to
fifteen-year-old play of a no-go twins yet where
the nothing helps because more than guitar hero it upright and actually that
music has brought back the clock tick
while my generation there the whole generation acute now
better entering your keen that notably cd p_r_ that no kip bar errol smith
and now and i think that's pretty backed the car parks robber we have a minute
left were who's coming up now to design a seesaw all these groups you recognize
their town before almost anyone else there who's coming up now that you think
uh... it is a great rocker
world economy working in the night before we depart sentry property
temperate rapidly pushing through the at poppy who were thirty minute but my film
out you know
well breaking brew bom
full respond pickup
and then individual order from working with right now better job amazing that
will be part of bands in the future like uruguayan whitford
powered by ip josh kuch i mean you've got your factor dot of off in fact if
you'll be hearing need names probably in the family's here
jeff beck jimmy page and eric clapton another couple years
