NEW COFFEE TABLE BOOK ‘SOLID ROCK’ CELEBRATES LEGACY OF THE WORLDS GREATEST GUITARISTS
A whole host of the greatest rock and metal guitarists ever to plug in an electric guitar are immortalised in a new coffee table book: Solid Rock – The Collector’s Edition
The new book will be exclusively available from Always Distinctive via their dedicated online store.
75 years ago, Leo Fender began working on the designs that would become the world’s first commercially successful solid body electric guitar. Solid Rock looks back at some of the originators, the tone masters and the shredders that made the extraordinary music that is rock and heavy metal happen.
Solid Rock will feature 75 legendary rock and metal guitar greats, each within a double-page spread. Together, they are some of the most influential and innovative electric guitarists we have ever seen. A full-page vintage image is accompanied by original design and a unique celebratory commentary, drawn from our ‘in-conversation’ sessions with K.K. Downing – Grammy award-winning guitarist and a founding member of rock and metal giants Judas Priest.
K.K. Downing comments: “Join me as I look back over my incredible journey in rock and heavy metal; it has certainly been an honour and a privilege to meet and gig with so many of the great players in
Solid Rock.”
“Without rock and metal, the music we love, our lives would not be what they are today. So many millions of fans also shared this wonderful journey throughout the decades with these great artists; this era may one day be gone but will never be forgotten! It will certainly live on inside Solid Rock.
“The Collector’s Edition is a wonderful illustrative compilation featuring 75 of these icons that not only played and performed but also composed so many legendary and timeless songs. It is the ultimate memoir and celebration of an era that will always be honoured and revered by us all, for eternity.”
Solid Rock – The Collector’s Edition is a special pre-release set of limited editions, only available by pre-order, and includes a limited number of K.K. Downing signed and personalised versions. Solid Rock is due for release February 28th 2023.
