Von Franz Wanzenböck
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Wurde auch Zeit! Für alle Leute, für die Rock n Roll nicht nur Musik, sondern eine Art Religion ist! Joan ist ein echtes Rock n Roll Animal, die Photos sind so was von stark...die Texte sind kurz gehaltene Glaubensbekenntnisse. Das Buch ist keine Biographie. Ungefähr die Hälfte des Buches ist den Runaways gewidmet, das ist gut so. Das Hardcover ist sehr sorgfältig gemacht, der Druck ist einwandfrei. Eine Zierde für meine Sammlung. Bitte mehr davon...

Nicht nur etwas für Joan Jett Fans, sondern auch für Runaways Fans. Viele sehenswerte Fotos aus dem Privatarchiv von Joan, Text in Englisch - lovely!!

Fantastic Photobook - Buy it for that - but text is a let-down

It seems I have been waiting forever for a Joan Jett book to come out. This book is fantastically full of great photos. I definitely recommend it and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Besides the great photos, there is also text in this book and it's exciting to finally read about Joan in a nice hardcover book rather than a magazine article.
But it's a tease. The problem is that there's not much text, not much biography or writing about music in here and I was very let-down after reading what the author wrote in the back, about how much info he has about Joan - that he didn't put in the book. Here's what he wrote: "...I reviewed three decades of printed and taped interviews with Joan, which was a dizzying treat. I then conducted eight hours of taped conversations with Joan and combined the two..." What?! And this small amount of text is all we get? It's such a tease. I'm guessing they didn't have enough time before the Runaways movie release.
I hope there will be a second volume coming someday in the future.

An inside look that leaves a nice touch of mystery.

This lovingly packaged autobiography/photo-essay combines a wealth of rare photos (emphasizing Joan's early days, extending through her 1980's chart-hits peak and 1990's "Riot Grrl" revival) with short, sharp bursts of commentary, as well as recollections from special guests Kathleen Hanna, Kenny Laguna, and others. Joan's writing wisely leaves much to the imagination, while managing to be revealing and disarmingly personable. Don't purchase this book expecting a juicy rock n' roll confessional: "Joan Jett" keeps it tabloid-trash free, while focusing on Joan's earliest (and enduring) personal passions and her closely-held beliefs on life, music, and the entertainment industry. Think of it as a high-fashion scrapbook memoir of one of rock's uniquely (and often unintentionally) influential figures - who incidentally happens to be a woman.

Longtime Jett fans, save your money! Real letdown.

I was so excited about this book. After all, Todd Oldman + Joan Jett, how could it possibly suck?! Well, it does.
It's basically a photography book with little else, and seeing as how Joan worked with Todd to put this thing together, there should be much more text. We've all seen *most* of the photos here, there is very little new to us, except for Joan as a baby, little girl and young adult. The rest are publicity, album and video photos throughout the years, but mostly just the 80's, and what's up with that?? There are a couple of pages of handwritten lyrics, and of memorabilia such as the JJ&BH Wonderbread card.
In an interview, Oldham made it sound like he worked laboriously on this book, but considering his design aesthetic, well it is simply not to be found in this book! It's basically mostly black pages with blocked photos, and where is the creativity in that? Seems thrown together, and there *is* no creativity in simply choosing a bunch of photos, mostly from one era, and laying them out monotonously.
This could easily have been a much more interesting anthology had Joan inserted some interesting anecdotes from specific times of her life, her career, or even the photo shoot/photographer. Something. Anything but old quotes we read 20-30 years ago.
A real disappointment for longtime Jett fans.
