We reached episode 60 and after more than 1,5 years working hard on my podcast, I had the great pleasure to interview one of the most well-known rock-and-roll photographers alive: Mr. Bob Gruen. 

Imagine documenting the beginning of Rock N Roll in New York including artists such as Iggy Pop, Blondie, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, KISS, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Alice Cooper and many more sounds very exciting to me. And I guess for a lot of you who are listening right now a dream would come true if you could have experienced what Bob experienced in his career. 

Bob became close friends with John Lennon & Yoko Ono and his photos are known as the most iconic and most used photos of our time.

He toured with The Sex Pistols and The Clash in a tour bus and Bob published a couple of great photo books. In 2011 the full-length documentary “Rock ‘N’ Roll Exposed: The Photography of Bob Gruen” came out, which tells the story of a remarkable career of someone who was living the Rock N Roll lifestyle as a photographer. 

This episode is the longest so far, but I couldn’t stop listening to all the amazing stories and valuable tips Bob shared with me in this interview.

Grab yourself a tea and join me on Bobs journey to become one of the most famous music photographers on this planet.
