Mick Rock: “”When I showed Lou the contact sheets, he zeroed in on the transformer shot…The first test I made fell out of focus in the exposure. Lou loved the result. It took me twelve attempts to reproduce this accident for the final larger print for the album cover.”
Transformer, 1972
Joe Satriani: “Wanted to let everyone know that my good friend and world-renowned music photog, Neil Zlozower’s documentary “In Your Face” is out now! It’s an entertaining look at Zloz’s photographic career over the last 48 years w/ cameo & stories from me and many more.”
IN YOUR FACE
The Neil Zlozower Story
Rock music and rock photography are synonymous with the wild lifestyle of their rockstars
with one common demeanor: Neil Zlozower: in-your-face-madman-photographer.
The daily activities of “Zloz” as part of the rock ’n’ roll stage show, his work in the studio
plus a behind the scenes look at his private life, are well documented and collaborated by friends, family, colleagues and the stars themselves.
While his “unique” communication skills may leave a lot to be desired in the real world,
the end result of his work can only be described as phenomenal!
No other photographer had the access, the attitude and lifestyle
to bring a seductive photo perspective through his professional lens.
Featuring members of:
Kiss, Guns n’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Van Halen, Korn, Rob Zombie,
Ratt, Anthrax, Slipknot, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Henry Rollins, and many more..
The award winning documentary IN YOUR FACE – The Neil Zlozower Story is OUT NOW!

Sonos, the leader in whole home audio, has teamed up with Mick Rock, Nikki Sixx, Mark Mothersbaugh and Meredith Graves to present Sonos Song Stories: Bowie – an intimate event at the Sonos Store in Soho honouring the work and legacy of David Bowie as told through powerful stories of artists and fans alike with the help of the new Sonos One with Amazon Alexa. The event will take place Tuesday, December 5, offering fans a one-of-a-kind experience to listen to never-before-heard stories about Bowie, paired with the songs forever.
The immersive, free event will debut exclusive content, unveiling an original photo display curated by cultural commentator, Paul Gorman, which features rarely seen images of Bowie’s New York City life taken by photographers, including Mick Rock, Bob Gruen, and more. Sonos will then welcome artists and creators influenced by Bowie, including legendary rock photographer, Mick Rock; bassist and co-founder of Mötley Crüe, Nikki Sixx; composer and founding member of DEVO, Mark Mothersbaugh; and music journalist (currently host of “MTV News”) and front-person of Perfect Pussy, Meredith Graves to share powerful, personal memories of Bowie and the accompanying songs that perfectly soundtrack the memory.
The New York edition of Sonos Song Stories: Bowie is a continuation of a series of chats that kicked off at the recently opened Sonos Store in the Seven Dials neighbourhood of London, England. The inaugural event, hosted by Miranda Sawyer on November 15 and 17, featured rarely-seen images of Bowie’s London life captured by Mick Rock, Brian Duffy, Rolf Adlercreutz (Alamy) and Mike Maloney; the evening also included powerful, Bowie-inspired memories and stories as told by Nick Rhodes, Goldie, Graham Coxon, Carl Barat, Peaches and Rostam.
Sonos Song Stories: Bowie is a free event and fans can register for a chance to hear these never-before shared stories in New York City at this location.
