Here’s some ultra cool photos of some classic bands in their prime. You’ve got Van Halen in the pre-record deal days with photos from the Whiskey and Starwood clubs in Hollywood. The Who, Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Eagles, Robin Trower, Tommy Bolin, and Chicago. Most pics are shot in the 1970s when these bands were totally in their prime.
Check out the pics of Eddie with his Explorer and pre-striped Stratocaster! Pete Townshend in his Gibson SG Special glory! Rare pics of Tommy Bolin with Deep Purple. Great action shots of Zeppelin and the Stones.
The photographer is legendary Sunset Strip photographer Marvin Rinnig. Marvin says, “Photography has always been good to me. It’s always interesting and it’s never work. The role of a photographer is to capture a moment in history. I’ve met the coolest characters and I’ve been thrown into the craziest situations. Imagine when I shot The Mentors with strippers in front of Hollywood High School on Sunset Blvd. Car horns honking, people yelling at us, it was crazy…”
“So I think these photos should bring us back to a different era. When all these old guitar wankers were young and relevant. Long live Keith Richards.”
