Publisher Description: "I have read pretty much every rock 'n' roll biography there is worth reading, and you never know what to expect when you pick up a new book. Well, let me tell you Mark Weiss has raised the bar for rock 'n' roll books with The Decade That Rocked. Mark has always been at the top of his field, and the level of detail and quality put into this book is the ultimate testament to his rock n' roll photographic legacy." - Sebastian Bach "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. It's why his work--both old and new--is still so in demand today. Mark Weiss inspires greatness in all he turns his camera lens on. But don't take my word for it. Just look at the pictures in this book." - Dee Snider "His pictures say as much as the music" - Rob Halford "He was one of the guys. He wasn't one of the 18 photographers you'd work with that day." - Alice Cooper "He had that instinct, to recognize our energy and use his technical talent to capture it." - Joe Perry "The Decade That Rocked breaches a level of intimacy that so many music photographers are lacking today. Each and every photo exemplifies the trust and the synergy between photographer and subject. You can feel the essence of the music in the live shots, just as vibrantly as you can feel the spirit and the essence of the musicians behind the scenes." - Screamer Magazine Mark "Weissguy" Weiss set an unmatched standard for rock photography.

With 700+ photos, brand new interviews, and stories from Mark himself, Decade that Rocked is a monument to the photography, friendships, and legacy of an artist that helped define one of rock's most iconic eras.
