I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie by Pamela Des Barres Pdf

First published in 1987, New York Times bestseller, I’m With The Band has been reprinted throughout the years, all over the world. This is the stylish, exuberant and sweetly innocent tale of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s. Beginning with Pamela Des Barres’ early obsession with Elvis, her own Beatlemania madness, and her fierce determination to meet the musicians who rocked her world, I’m With The Band illuminates the glory days of scintillating encounters with musical gods including Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and Keith Moon. A girl just wanting to have fun, Des Barres immersed herself in the drugs, danger and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. As a member of The GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously), an all-female group masterminded by Frank Zappa, Des Barres was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. She travelled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons and Ray Davies. She had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. A woman in possession of her own destiny, Des Barres blazed a trail for women’s life-writing, standing up for female voices and experience everywhere. From original diaries, told with great warmth, chutzpah and joie de vivre, this is a frank memoir that wears its heart on its sleeve, and recalls one of rock ’n’ roll’s most thrilling eras. This edition contains new material from the author, including her response to the vitriolic shaming of groupies, and a foreword by Roisin O’Connor, rock journalist and music correspondent for the Independent.

I'm In the Band by Sean Yseult Pdf

"A fascinating scrapbook documenting a time in the life of a female musician . . . Tales of tours, blowouts, relationships with names such as The Cramps, Pantera, Ramones, Alice Cooper, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Marilyn Manson, Coffin Joe and Danzig make this book essential as a time capsule of a certain era in the world of hard rock." —Uber Rock Art rock? Noise rock? Punk-metal? Alternative? White Zombie may have been unclassifiable, but it didn't stop them from carving out a place for themselves in music history. The band became a multiplatinum, two-time Grammy nominee with the release of their 1992 album, La Sexorcisto. But while most people will remember their bizarre look and macabre lyrics, what many failed to realize was that their lanky, high-octane bass player was a woman. I'm In the Band combines eleven years of tour diaries, flyers, and personal photos and ephemera to chart White Zombie's rise from the gritty music scene of New York's Lower East Side in the eighties to arena headliners during the nineties. It also shares the unlikely story of a female musician who won the respect and adoration of male metal musicians and fans. From 1985 to 1996, Sean Yseult was the sole woman not only in White Zombie, but in the entire metal scene. With I'm In the Band, Yseult has created both a coffee table book and a striking visual memoir. Her personal memorabilia offers fans a unique vantage on the life of a mega-band during rock's last golden age.

I'm With the Band by Pamela DES BARRES Pdf

Intégrée dans le milieu rock de Los Angeles par Captain Beefheart qu’elle rencontre alors qu’elle est encore au lycée, Pamela va très vite se faire une place dans ce petit monde. D’abord en tant que fan prête à tout pour attirer le regards des rockstars puis en montant elle aussi sur scène aux côtés des GTO’s - groupe de rock composé uniquement de groupies et chaperonné par Frank Zappa - et finalement en devenant l’amante et la muse de rockers aussi dépravés qu’égoïstes. Sans mélancolie mais plutôt avec humour et autodérision, Pamela Des Barres partage ses souvenirs, ses amitiés, ses joies et ses désillusions, ses parties de jambes en l’air, ses défonces avec en fond sonore les chefs-d’oeuvre du rock des années soixante. Dans cette autobiographie, se côtoient l’insouciante jeune fille assoiffée de nouvelles expériences et la femme qui s’est construite par l’affirmation de ses libertés ; deux facettes qui font d’elle aujourd’hui une pionnière de la libération sexuelle et du féminisme décomplexé.

Confissoes De Uma Groupie by Pamela Des Barres Pdf

As ousadas memórias da 'groupie' mais famosa da história do rock começam em 1960, quando, ainda menina, acompanhada pelos pais, ela suspirava por Elvis em sessões de cinema. Poucos anos mais tarde, Pamela Miller, de Reseda, Califórnia, tornou-se uma beatlemaníaca perdidamente apaixonada por Paul McCartney. Enquanto adaptava seu sotaque americano ao britânico de Liverpool, ela escrevia poemas românticos para seu ídolo, disfarçava a ausência de seios com enchimentos de tecido costurados ao soutien e domava os cachos em penteados que deveriam torná-la mais atraente aos olhos dos colegas do colégio. Não demorou muito para que ela aderisse ao estilo mais natural - e extravagante - dos 'hippies', descobrisse, na voz de Bob Dylan, que a resposta estava sendo soprada pelo vento e que seus hormônios adolescentes começassem a pulsar com Mick Jagger cantando "I'm a king bee, baby, let me come inside". Foi quando ela se afastou dos garotos da escola e passou a se concentrar na conquista de seus músicos preferidos. Sunset Strip, onde tudo acontecia, ficava logo ali, à distância de uma carona. Contando, ninguém acredita, mas Pamela desfilou com Jim Morrison a tiracolo, foi namorada de Jimmy Page e, depois de resistir a muitas cantadas, acabou cedendo ao ardente desejo de Mick Jagger - para citar apenas três dos mais famosos -; cuidou dos filhos de Gail e Frank Zappa; formou o grupo GTO, Girls Together Only; e se tornou grande amiga de Robert Plant. E ela sabe contar como ninguém uma história muito peculiar da cena 'rock and roll' numa época em que até o showbiz era ingênuo, mas nem por isso menos alucinante. Misturando sua narrativa com trechos dos diários que mantinha com afinco, letras de canções e transcrições de bilhetes, Pamela conduz os leitores com leveza e autenticidade pelos bastidores dos palcos onde se criaram grandes fenômenos do rock. E, ao mesmo tempo, abre o coração da garota que acreditou e viveu o amor livre acima de todas as coisas.A história de Pamela Des Barres inspirou Kate Hudson e Goldie Hawn em seus papéis de 'groupies' nos filmes 'Quase Famosos' (Almost Famous) e 'Doidas Demais' (The Banger Sisters).

So You Think You Know Rock and Roll? by Peter E. Meltzer Pdf

Rolling Stone magazine recently released its list of the 100 greatest albums in rock music history, a period spanning more than fifty years. Nearly 60 percent of those albums were released in the decade from 1965 to 1975—the golden age of classic rock. This book is a wide-ranging portrait of that transformative and remarkable time, from the dawn of the singer-songwriter era to days before disco. This book is presented in a question-and-answer format, but it is hardly a “trivia” book. It covers such diverse topics as censorship, chart phenomena, album covers, rock groupies, manufactured bands, one-hit wonders, rock festivals, supergroups, novelty songs, and the Beatles. All of the major figures of the ‘60s and ‘70s are here: Cream, CCR, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Neil Young, the Eagles, the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, Marvin Gaye, David Bowie, James Taylor, Carole King, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed, Carly Simon, Laura Nyro, and many others. Exhaustively researched, So You Think You Know Rock and Roll? is filled with “I never knew that!” moments on every page.

Supernatural Out of the Box by Lisa Macklem,Dominick Grace Pdf

Supernatural is one of the most successful horror TV shows ever, providing fifteen seasons of the adventures of Dean and Sam Winchester as they hunt monsters and save the world. It has nurtured a passionate fan base, which has been far more directly integrated into the show than is typical. Wry and self-aware, Supernatural repeatedly breaks out of the televisual box to acknowledge its fans and its own fictionality. Though there have already been several studies of Supernatural, this volume is the first to focus extensively and intensively on the show's metafictional elements. This essay collection argues that Supernatural is not merely a horror show, but is a show about how horror works as a genre, and how fans interact with their favorite material. From exploring how the show has equated authorship with divinity, to considering its incorporation of fandom and closely reading several key episodes, the essays in this volume seek to examine the multiple layers of textuality found in Supernatural.

Major Labels by Kelefa Sanneh Pdf

One of Oprah Daily's 20 Favorite Books of 2021 • Selected as one of Pitchfork's Best Music Books of the Year “One of the best books of its kind in decades.” —The Wall Street Journal An epic achievement and a huge delight, the entire history of popular music over the past fifty years refracted through the big genres that have defined and dominated it: rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance music, and pop Kelefa Sanneh, one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture, has made a deep study of how popular music unites and divides us, charting the way genres become communities. In Major Labels, Sanneh distills a career’s worth of knowledge about music and musicians into a brilliant and omnivorous reckoning with popular music—as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities. He explains the history of slow jams, the genius of Shania Twain, and why rappers are always getting in trouble. Sanneh shows how these genres have been defined by the tension between mainstream and outsider, between authenticity and phoniness, between good and bad, right and wrong. Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there have always been Black audiences and white audiences, with more or less overlap depending on the moment, there has been Black music and white music, constantly mixing and separating. Sanneh debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes, and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing that sometimes, the best popular music isn’t transcendent. Songs express our grudges as well as our hopes, and they are motivated by greed as well as idealism; music is a powerful tool for human connection, but also for human antagonism. This is a book about the music everyone loves, the music everyone hates, and the decades-long argument over which is which. The opposite of a modest proposal, Major Labels pays in full.
