Enter the world of the Rock Industry,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rock Family Trees: the Development and History of Rock Performers including Eric Clapton, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Led Zeppelin, Rolling ... Genesis, Madness, T.Rex, Police..: 2v.in 1v (Paperback)
This book is an amazing insight into the rock and roll world. It is excellent for both the person who lives for music to anyone with a passing interest in the music industry. Pete Frame has put together the definitive work on the birth and passing of some of the best known music bands in the world, complete with the most detailed guide to the comings and goings of all the band members. You will not find a better guide anywhere. I was enthralled as I followed the paths of my favourite bands and found myself listening to the music of these bands with a whole new perspective.An incredible piece of work that must have taken years of painstaking research, lots of late nights and a dedication to his subject that most people only dream of. So sit down with your favourite beverage, power up the CD player and take a walk with Pete Frame through his forest of Rock Family Trees. You'll find the journey well worth the effort.

An Excellent Statement In Time - Of The Time.,

This review is from: The Rock Family Trees: the Development and History of Rock Performers including Eric Clapton, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Led Zeppelin, Rolling ... Genesis, Madness, T.Rex, Police..: 2v.in 1v (Paperback)
Whilst the Mitchell/French debate is well and good, and French missing the whole point and Mitchell spot-on-the-nail, they are not telling you what an exempliary book this is.
Pete Frame had this brilliant idea of mapping out how and where and with whom in the line-ups from the year dot to the then present day of just about every band worth their salt in the style of The Family Tree. And the fans loved it, and still do, despite the 'Trees' now being somewhat out-of-date; (so what was Pete supposed to do, spend his life updating them? Then everyone would be moaning about the never-ending re-publications of this book - ya can't please everyone!) At the time, we rock fans idolised and adored Pete's superb caligraphic swirls of the Rotring pen, and those of us who have the nonce (like Mr. Mitchell but not Mrs. French), and who can see the wood for the trees, thoroughly enjoy these fine 'Histories Of The Rock Bands In A Totally Unique Format' for what they are; and in their day were very informative, historic, interesting, and indeed, many of the facts Pete pulled out by interviewing the individual members of each of the band's concerned, were previously unknow to the fans of the bands or artistes concerned. Yes, Pete Frame placed something extremely valid on the music scene with his 'Rock Family Trees,' and will be remembered for this fabulous tome for quite some millennia into the future, out-of-date as it most certainly is.

This review is from: The Rock Family Trees: the Development and History of Rock Performers including Eric Clapton, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Led Zeppelin, Rolling ... Genesis, Madness, T.Rex, Police..: 2v.in 1v (Paperback)
Amazing Book with Legendary Peter Frames Handwritten History. I could not leave it alone, now a few of the posters are available as limited edition art work too from Family of Rock. Beautiful.
Great book a real treat.
