GENESIS (PARTIALLY) REUNITES!

You may have seen it on Instagram, but Genesis bandmates Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks recently got together. They collaborated on the 50th Super Deluxe Edition of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from 1974. Peter Gabriel said: “It was an interesting experience to be back again inside the world we built…

STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR!

This awesome car was the pride and joy of Ron Mael, one of the founding members of Sparks. I spent a whole day with them at the Farmer’s Market in L.A., back in 1975. They were very playful, humorous, fun, and creative. What a great couple of guys to hang…

MY PICTURE USED AT THE ALICE COOPER CONCERT

During the Alice Cooper concert that I went to, much to my delight, I saw one of my pictures was used during the song “Under my wheels”. In the picture, Alice sits atop his Rolls Royce. I took this shot while visiting his home in L.A. back in the ‘70s.…

STARS IN THE CAR

Every time I saw Barry Hay of Golden Earring, I would say “Hey, Barry”. And he’d go “Hey, Barry!”. Which made everybody laugh. I was very sad to hear about the passing of their guitar player, George Kooymans, recently. His illness meant the end of Golden Earring, because the other…

NEW DISCOVERY!

My new friend at Music Traveler Magazine is doing an article on Tom Waits. I asked my assistant Marijke to go look for all my negatives on Tom Waits. And she brought me a gem! This image of Tom’s car in front of the Troubadour in Los Angeles is one…

War Child and David Bowie

War Child reached out to me late last year to ask if they could use one of my images of David Bowie for their organization. And of course, I said yes. In case you haven’t heard of this foundation – it is Dutch, after all- they want a better life…

A special shoutout: to the Teskey Brothers!

A special shoutout: to the Teskey Brothers! I heard them for the first time recently, believe it or not. Apparently, they’re very popular. Honestly, I mostly listen to music from the ‘70s. And that’s exactly why I loved them so much. Their music sounded so authentic, so genuine. It sounded…

MEETING ALICE COOPER

A few minutes before Alice went onstage I was able to go backstage and meet him. He is still the same gracious, kind and cool person I met a very long time ago. I gifted him the framed photo of him meeting Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken,…

ALICE COOPER IS PLAYING AMSTERDAM TONIGHT!

Alice Cooper is playing Amsterdam tonight! I met this absolutely lovely human being a few times; at his home in Los Angeles, on tour in Nevada and in Amsterdam in 1974.  I invited him to my gallery in Weesp. Do you think he’ll come? I hope so. Alice Cooper at…

STARS IN THE CAR

It was 1979. I was at a party for Veronica magazine and ran into Herman Brood and his girlfriend Nina Hagen. Herman, whispered in my ear: “Hey Barry, can you drive us home to Amsterdam?” Sure, Herman! In the backseat of my little orange car, Nina put her head down…
