Product Description

Product Description
Johnny Stuart's 'Rockers!' celebrates the biker style with panache and wit, showing how a love affair between bikes and speed became the original touchstones of a youth cult which continues to fascinate and endure,with its myths, magic and melancholy. In essence, and although they did not know it, Rockers - with their raw edginess, studied cool and search for excitement, sex and violence - were icons. 'Rockers!' achieves that rare marriage of immediacy and knowledge, through research and first-hand experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars " Rockers! Kings of the Road "- Excellent!, 8 Mar 2005
By rocker (london, london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Rockers! Kings of the Road

The allegedly most shop-lifted book in London bookshops! " Rockers! ... Kings of the Road " is part socio-historical documentary, part style-bible, part-arthouse coffee table book; it has given birth to new generations of Rockers the World over.

By far the most complete and accurate book on the subject filled with fantastic photographs and archive graphics.

Written by a totally committed and highly informed expert on the subject, this is not the usual biker exploitation / pulp fiction shallow or condescending cr*p you normally find written by some bozo of a journalist that has never gotten his fingernails dirty or kick started a four-stroke once in his life. It is as close to a Bible as the Rocker / biker world will get.

Researched at length and detail, Johnny met and spoke many of the original characters, trawled the picture libraries for all the best period photos and found many kept by original rockers from the 60s. It is warm, respectful and pretty damned accurate.

Quite frankly, it is so good that no one ever bothered to try and write another and although it was writtenin the 80s, it still sells all around the world today. Timeless.

Rock on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockers, 13 Oct 2008
By Raymond Foster (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a South Londoner I went up to The Ace Cafe back in the 60s. This book is an excellent one that tells the story of that particular era in an unpretentious way. Great photographs are there to illustrate our way of life back then.
I would recommend this book to everyone - doesn't matter if they are not interested in bikes but want to know more about that era.
