I grew up a fan of rock photography, and the walls of my bedroom were my gallery. Back then, before social media existed, our connection to our favorite bands was to actually go to concerts, or to buy printed posters, or look at the vinyl album jackets. That part of my life influenced me so much that I began a career in radio, because if I couldn’t be the lead singer in a band (society is better for that decision) I might as well play the music. Fast forward to me in my 40s, and my radio career helped jump start me into the world of concert photography, in a wonderful full circle moment in my life. Those iconic photos from my youth have played a role in every phase of my life, and the photographers that captured those images will always hold a special place in my heart. Today’s guest is one of those legends. When talking about the music photographers that created the images that defined rock & roll there are simply too many to list, but a few always come to mind: Jim Marshall, Bob Gruen, Mick Rock, Henry Diltz, Neil Zlozower, Neal Preston, Baron Wolman, and Robert M. Knight – my guest today. Before I go any further into talking about Robert, or my love of his photography, and before someone comments that there are great music photographers today too… yeah, I know. I am lucky to call a few of them friends, and their work inspires my shooting daily, and those current photographers will all tell you that they were influenced by many of the legends I mentioned above. When talking about Robert M. Knight the conversation could go so in many directions. Robert has photographed legendary artists, like The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Run DMC, Green Day, Jimmy Page, Elton John, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, and Carlos Santana. You’ve seen his photos, even if you didn’t know it at the time. I actually tried to come up with a few favorite images of his to ask him about using in the show, but that task was beyond me – I love way too many. His Zeppelin shot in front of the plane is special, then there’s the black and white shot of BB King laughing, or the extensive work he’s done with Jeff Beck. He even has some portrait work, like his shot of the late actor Robert Mitchum, that are just next level. Robert was one of the first photographers to capture Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and he was the last to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan. You can still find his book “Rock Gods: Fifty Years of Rock Photography”, in Hardcover and Paperback, on Amazon, and the 2009 documentary “Rock Prophecies” is a great introduction to not only Robert the photographer, but into some of the more personal areas of Robert’s life. Rock Prophecies was actually my first introduction into Robert and his wife Maryanne’s work with Guitar Center’s Hollywood RockWalk, or his work with up-and-coming guitarists. A few years ago a guitarist friend of mine, Chase Walker, posted photos he did with Robert, and I was so excited for him. I’d photographed Chase many times, and even interviewed him and his band, but for my friend to do a session with Mr. Knight was so cool. I do want to mention that Robert’s wife, Maryanne, is an amazing photographer as well. Be sure to check out their website, linked below, to see both of their work.

Steven tells how, after many years, he ended up writing the book, the labor of love and dedication it became -- 580 pages! -- Neil Zlozower contributing never-before-published photos, his thoughts on Valerie Bertinelli, Michael Anthony, David Lee Roth (of course!), playing guitar with Eddie, interviewing him multiple times and a lot more.  At the top, your "DLR Cast" hosts touch on the little bit of Dave and DLR-releated news, and the lack thereof. "Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey With Edward Van Halen" is now available via the author at Facebook.com/TONECHASERBOOK and via Amazon, Reverb, and Etsy. Check out Steven at Facebook and at Instagram: @steven.rosen.guitar.picks.

(17:48) AJ's latest challenge involved taking repeated rubber band snaps to the forehead, every time he failed to correctly answer a trivia question.

In this episode I chat with rock photographer Neil Zlozower. Neil is considered by many to be one of the best rock photographers of all time, although he refers to himself as merely a “fairly successful photographer." He's photographed many of rock's icons including Zeppelin, The Stones, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Sheryl Crow, Guns & Roses, Eric Clapton, Pantera and many, many, many more. These days Neil spends most of his time running Atlas Icons, an agency he co-founded and that specializes in licensing of music photography. You can find his work at www.zloz.com and atlasicons.com. WARNING: Neil is opinionated and at times colorful in his choice of words. If you're easily offended by language or things otherwise non-PC, this episode may not be for you. Consider yourself forewarned. We talk about is Neil's career, changes in the music business, and the business of photography. He describes his early days in photography as a glorified fan, inspired by a Cream concert he attended in 1968. In spite of getting a C in high school photography, Neil's body of work is definitely world class. He told me he always wanted to go down as the best in the business. Interestingly, but not uncommon for guests of this podcast, he feels strongly that success is less about talent, but more about business sense and drive. Although our conversation didn't go where I typically expect conversations of this podcast to go, I believe we touch on a few things you can use in your music journey.  Show Notes Bill Lonero episode 16 Igor Vidyashev Atlas Icons NAMM Rex Brown Rival Sons Books Mentioned Rock and Roll Portraits Eddie Van Halen Van Halen Motley Crue Six String Heroes Looking for more gigs?
