Neuware - The 1980s were an era of musical excess, filled with spandex, makeup, big hair, groupies, and loud, guitar-driven rock 'n' roll. Photographer Mark Weiss lived at the heart of it all, documenting the biggest and most dangerous bands of the time-legends ranging from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS, as well as countless others whose sound and image defined the era. The Decade That Rocked showcases onstage and backstage moments and never-before-seen images from the period's most historic concerts, tours, and multiplatinum album covers-all captured through the lens of Mark 'Weissguy' Weiss.Growing up in Matawan, New Jersey, Mark made a deal with a neighbor at thirteen years old to mow his lawn for the summer in exchange for a 35mm camera. He then filled his teenage nights sneaking into concerts to shoot the biggest acts of the '70s. After being arrested for selling photographs outside a KISS concert in 1977, he walked into the offices of Circus with his portfolio and soon landed his first centerfold spread-a photo of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Soon after, he became the publication's staff photographer. In the years to come, Mark became a fan favorite and a star in his own right, with a Creem magazine reader's poll ranking him as one of rock's top photographers of the era. Throughout the '80s, his photos were seen by millions, appearing in countless magazines around the world and on the covers of the most iconic albums of the decade. He traveled on tour buses alongside legends-in-the-making as they climbed their way to sold-out arenas and stadiums, living and breathing the rock 'n' roll lifestyle with unparalleled access to capture it all on film.Dig into Mark's archives and take a tour through never-before-seen photos of a teenage Jon Bon Jovi during a performance with his New Jersey band the Rest, and behind-the-scenes and unreleased images from the album shoot for Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet and the band's decade-ending historic performance at the Moscow Music Peace Festival. Revisit the 1983 US Festival's historic Heavy Metal Day. Go backstage with Black Sabbath at Live Aid and with Van Halen during their biggest tours. Travel to Washington, DC, as Twisted Sister's Dee Snider sits before Congress to combat censorship at the infamous PMRC hearings.Captured from the unique vantage point of a photographer who lived and breathed the '80s in all its grit and glory, The Decade That Rocked brings to life the no-holds-barred sounds and sights that changed the world of hard rock and metal forever.…

'Mark is the real deal. He may not play the guitar, but that camera is his guitar. He's a rockstar. Gene Simmons
'Mark's energy, his creativity, his drive, his positive attitude and his enthusiasm that make him one of the legends of rock photography.

'He was one of the guys. He wasn't one of the 18 photographers you'd work with that day.' Alice Cooper
