Nirvana

by Steve Gullick

The black and white portraits and live shots taken by maverick photographers Steve Gullick and Stephen Sweet comprise some of the most resonant images prized out of the glorious wreckage of Nirvana's rock'n'roll existence. A photographic document of the inner life of rock's last great band, by two of the great rock photographers of the nineties, with an introduction by Everett True. More than 150 pages of stunning glossy photographs that capture their remarkable and fraught career, including press-portraits, candid rehearsal shots, and pages of on-stage chaos.

Essential documentation of Nirvanamania: Pivotal moments of live onstage action, and good times and plenty of candid moments of a band on the rise, beautifully captured for posterity by two masters of rock photography. Looking forward to Steve Gullick's "Nirvana Diary", which promises more material on the same vein (and from the same era), and that should be a great thing.

Wish I could give this zero stars. A third of the pages are blank white glossy pages. A BS introduction by Everett True. OK, some good photos, but a lot of duplicates, and for a book of photographs, the layout is absolutely abysmal. Was a photographer even involved in this project? Seriously, even if you are a fan, don't waste your money on this one.
