CREEM ROCK-SHOTS

No one-picture-tells-a-thousand-words jive, but there's more to rock 'n' roll than a two-sided piece of black vinyl.

No one-picture-tells-a-thousand-words jive, but there's more to rock 'n' roll than a two-sided piece of black vinyl. There's personality, excitement and color, there's controversy and there's fun. There never would've been a Kiss—and probably not a Plasmatics, either—if the world was filled with blind people. And right here in your hot little hands is another part of the story. Keith Richards, David Lee Roth, Pat Benatar, new wave, old wave, no wave and gold wave. It matters not, but it sure looks funny.

ROCKSHOTS focuses on the personalities, the color, even a little of that excitement, too, in front of —and behind—the lens. Goofs, geeks, women, men, and the ones in between are pll here, and so are you. Thousands of people may be starving all over the world, but you're lucky: you've got this. Even luckier: you don't have to be able to read to look at it. CREEM ROCKSHOTS takes you behind the scenes— and if you don't want to be here, the bus leaves at 2 a.m. Otherwise: welcome aboard...
