Cool rock n roll photos

Metallica. What makes this photo cool (at least for Stranger Things fans) is the T-shirts they're wearing.

From the FaceBook Detroit Rock Scene, 1960's Early 70's: Quote by Ron Domilici
Labor Day weekend August 30 to September 1,1969, after agreeing to perform for free, Grand Funk performed a very enthusiastically received set at the Texas International Pop Festival, so much so that they were invited back for the next two days of the festival. This photo of Mark, Don, and Mel was taken on day three of the event. Photos taken during this set in Texas would later be used on the classic GFR red album cover released in December of 1969.

From FaceBook's Detroit Rock Scene, 1960's Early 1970's Ron Domilici's quote
Backstage at Detroit's Eastown Theater, here's a fine capture of the widely revered guitarist, Ronald Franklin 'Ron' Asheton. Ron was born in Washington DC. His family moved to Ann Arbor when Ron was thirteen. He'd spent five years playing accordion before switching to bass, and later the guitar. In Ann Arbor he performed with a few bands before co-founding the Stooges.

We met Ron and Mike (Davis-MC5) when as Destroy All Monsters, they rehearsed for a few months at an Ann Arbor house we rented. Both Ron and Mike (RIP) gave us young musicians a lot of encouragement and offered us opportunities to open for them many times at clubs we would not otherwise have had chances to gig at. I am forever grateful for the time and opportunities they gave us.

I'm tellin' y'all, this IS one of the best FaceBook pages to join.

From Detroit Rock Scene 1960's Early 70's Ron Domilici:
From 1969, in New York City at the Hit Factory recording studio, here's two captures of David Michael Alexander, the original bassist for the influential band, the Stooges. Dave moved to Ann Arbor Michigan from Whitmore Lake. He attended Pioneer High School where he met the Asheton brothers, Ron and Scott. Alexander and the Asheton brothers met Iggy and formed The Stooges in 1967. Dave learned to play bass ''on the job'' and picked it up quickly stated Stooge's guitarist Ron Asheton. Besides performing on the first two Stooges albums, Dave also contributed to the arranging, and the composition of many songs on those recordings. Dave was let go from the band in August of 1970, after the Goose Lake International Music Festival. As far as I know, he never performed professionally after that. Less than five years later, in early 1975, Dave would pass away at age twenty-seven. In 2010 Alexander was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Stooges. June 3rd marks the 75th birthday of Dave Alexander.

From Detroit Rock Scene 1960's Early 70's Ron Domilici:
From 1968 at Detroit's Grande Ballroom, playing bass guitar on this occasion with the Jeff Beck Group, this is the artist Ronald David 'Ron' Wood. Ron began his career in 1964, when he joined The Birds (UK) on guitar. He then joined the mod group the Creation, appearing on a number of singles but remaining with the group for only a short time. Wood joined the Jeff Beck Group in 1967 as a bass player. That group split in 1969, and Wood along with vocalist Rod Stewart joined former Small Faces members Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones in the new group, the Faces. Ron was with them until 1975, when he was asked to join the Rolling Stones. He's been with the Stones ever since. He has also toured and recorded with Keith Richards in the New Barbarian's band. Ron has released seven studio albums and two Live recordings as a solo artist. Wood has been inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice, with The Faces and the Rolling Stones. Ron is also an accomplished painter, has authored three books, and hosted a radio program. June 1st Ron Wood is 75 years old .

From that awesome FB page: Detroit Rock Scene 196)'s Early 1070's from Ron Domilici:

Appearing at Detroit's Ford Auditorium April 26th,1974, and with bassist John Wetton to the left, that's percussionist William Scott 'Bill' Bruford, performing with King Crimson. Bill took up drums at thirteen, after seeing a BBC Special featuring American jazz drummers. He began playing in bands in the mid-sixties. Jon Anderson saw a Ad in Melody Maker that Bruford ran, looking for work. Bill joined Anderson and Chris Squire, and soon the band Yes evolved. Bill was the drummer for Yes from 1968 to 1972. He has also performed with other bands. Some include Genesis, U.K., Anderson-Bruford-Wakeman-Howe, The Bruford Band, Patrick Moraz, and a variety of other collaborations. Bill reunited with Yes on a number of occasions, and he performed with King Crimson on and off until 1997. Bruford later got away from rock and concentrated on jazz, leading his own jazz group Earthworks for several years. Over the course of his career, Bruford has released five solo studio albums. Bill was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. He also announced his retirement from public performances. Bill released his autobiography in 2009. May 17th Bill Bruford is 72 years old.

From Detroit Rock Scene 1960's Early 70's Text by Ron Domilici

On the stage May 24th,1970 in East Lansing, at a performance with Jefferson Airplane, this is bassist Jack Casady. Casady grew up in Washington D C. Jack's first instrument was a Washburn nylon string guitar he had found in the attic of his parents' house. Later Jack saved up enough money to buy his first electric guitar, a '58 Fender Telecaster. When he was 14 Jack met Jorma Kaukonen and formed a garage band called The Triumphs. After Jorma left for college Jack kept playing in local bands. He switched to bass and never looked back. He joined Airplane in 1965. Bands Jack has been associated with over the years (besides the Airplane) include Jefferson Starship, Hot Tuna, SVT, The Yanks, Dream Factor, and Moonalice. Casady played bass on the Jimi Hendrix song "Voodoo Chile", on the Electric Ladyland album. He's also performed with the Dead, Country Joe, David Crosby, and Warren Zevon. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Jack is doing some tour dates with Hot Tuna this year. April 13th Jack Casady is 78 years old.
