Mark "Weissguy" Weiss is a world-renowned photographer who has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Motley Crue to Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS. Weiss's iconic images capture the artists onstage, backstage, and behind the scenes. He visually documented historic events including the US Festival, Live Aid, the Moscow Music Peace Festival, and the PMRC hearings in Washington, DC. His photographs have been published in thousands of magazines worldwide, and he is responsible for two of the era's defining album covers, Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wetand Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry. His inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s. His book The Decade That Rocked, now in its 4th printing, showcases onstage and backstage moments and never-before-seen images from the period's most historic concerts, tours, and multi-platinum album covers - all captured through the lens of Mark "Weissguy" Weiss.
