Overview
Nice to Rock You is a book that recounts the fortunate (and often fortuitous) meeting of great protagonists of rock history without whom the music world would have experienced different events.
Would Elvis Presley have become the King of rock’n’roll without Colonel Parker? Who would John and Paul have been without George Martin? Would Joni Mitchell have been a painter if David Crosby had not discovered her? And what would the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been like without Rick Rubin’s insights?
"Life, man, is the art of encounter," said Vinicius de Moraes. And the history of twentieth-century music has offered us a wide range of propitious moments in which the destiny of two or more characters has intertwined, giving rise to new, unexpected scenarios that have helped to give a precise direction to the unstoppable and changing flow of history.
The book, divided into 5 sections, recounts 6 special encounters in different fields, covering curious and often little-known moments, places and circumstances. It is a unique volume in the national and international panorama, embellished by a rich iconographic apparatus and tracks that can be listened to via QR code, almost a soundtrack to the stories themselves.
