MARK WEISS Talks About His Classic Photos of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett

DATE: AUGUST 19, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

PHOTOGRAPHER MARK WEISS
TALKS ABOUT HIS CLASSIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF
OZZY OSBOURNE, LEMMY KILMISTER, AND JOAN JETT
TO BE DISPLAYED AT THE “A MOMENT IN TIME”
EXHIBITION THIS SEPTEMBER IN LOS ANGELES
PAIRED WITH BILLY MORRISON’S UNIQUE CANVAS PAINTINGS
OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS AND OTHERS

X5 PODCAST AND MOTOR CARS LA
PRESENT
“A MOMENT IN TIME”
BILLY MORRISON X MARK WEISS:
A COLLECTION OF ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BASED ON THE IMAGES OF MARK WEISS

PUBLIC OPENING AT MOTOR CARS LOS ANGELES SHOWROOM
SET FOR SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21,
TO BE PRECEDED BY VIP PREVIEW ON SEPTEMBER 19
AND RSVP PARTY ON SEPTEMBER 20

World-renowned photographer MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS talks below about his iconic photographs of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett. These photographs will be presented—paired with recording artist and contemporary fine artist BILLY MORRISON’s unique canvas paintings of them—for one weekend only: September 19, 20, and 21 at the iconic Motor Cars LA Showroom in Hollywood, CA. Billed as “A Moment In Time,” the event is presented by X5 Podcast and Motor Cars LA. See the event details below.

The exhibition will feature 12 pieces from Morrison, and high-end editions of the same photographs from Weiss, with a special 13th painting and prints going to support mental health, suicide prevention and trauma counseling through the Above Ground charity spearheaded by Morrison and Dave Navarro, Jane’s Addiction’s guitarist. Below are Weiss’ photographs of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett, along with Morrison’s paintings of them.

Mark Weiss on Ozzy Osbourne Photograph:
Ozzy Osbourne and daughter Aimee, 1984, New York City

“Ozzy was always game for my out-of-the-box ideas. Our first shoot together was for the cover of Circus magazine in 1981, where I had him wear a pink tutu. From there, we pushed the envelope with every session, each one more outrageous than the last.

When Sharon asked me to do a shoot that would get him noticed in the magazines, Faces magazine agreed to put Ozzy on the cover, but it had to be something over the top. I came up with a twist on his album Diary of a Madman. Since it was the May issue, I thought, why not go with a Mother’s Day theme? We dressed Ozzy as a housewife, and the cover featured the headline “Diary of a Mad Housewife.” The photo ironing his daughter Aimee, ended up as a gatefold in the magazine and stirred quite a reaction—some people even thought the iron was plugged in!”

Mark Weiss on Lemmy Kilmister Photograph
Lemmy Kilmister, 1984, New York City

“I captured this photo of Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, just moments before taking the stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City during the ‘No Remorse Tour’ in 1984. Lemmy was a complex figure to decipher—he was difficult to read. His intimidating presence was undeniable, but if you could see beyond that and stand your ground, you’d earn his respect.

For a photographer, it’s crucial to gain the artist’s trust and be welcomed into their world, capturing moments that tell a deeper story—a time stamp of an era. I consider it a privilege when musicians allow me into their space. My approach is to remain unassuming, hoping to capture that magical moment where the connection between artist and photographer becomes genuine.

With Lemmy, I sought sincerity and authenticity—qualities I believe are most evident in the eyes.”

Mark Weiss on Joan Jett Photograph:
Joan Jett, 1980, Mount Vernon, New York

“I was in high school when I first heard about The Runaways. At the time, I was sneaking my camera into concerts and selling photos outside Madison Square Garden and out of my high school locker for a buck each. After The Runaways disbanded, Joan Jett released her debut album Bad Reputation in 1980.

I was 20 years old, living at my great-aunt’s house in NYC while attending the School of Visual Arts. Eager to expand beyond live photography, I started shooting studio photos of local bands to gain experience. I was also a staff photographer at Circus magazine, where I covered live shows. My role at Circus gave me valuable access to publicists and managers.

I met Joan through Carol Kaye, a publicist who had arranged photo passes for me to shoot bands like Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. When Carol mentioned she was helping Joan, I jumped at the chance to ask her to set up a photo shoot. Bad Reputation was gaining momentum, and I had always dreamed of photographing The Runaways.

On December 16, 1980, I went to a club called the Left Bank in Mount Vernon, NY. I taped up a bedsheet that I used as a backdrop and waited for the band to go to the stage. I had a roll of film loaded and ready to go. I took a few photos with her band the Blackhearts along with manager Kenny Laguna and his wife Meryl. Joan then picked up her guitar, and I kept shooting until the film ran out. When you capture that perfect moment, you just know it. For this shoot, frame 28 was the one. It’s fascinating how a single image can tell an entire story, while a contact sheet reveals the full narrative.”

The public viewing for “A Moment In Time” is set for September 21, to be preceded by the VIP Preview on September 19, and RSVP Party and Live X5 Podcast on September 20 which will feature a Q+A from both artists and an intimate acoustic performance from Morrison. There will be a complete livestream of the whole weekend from the X5 Podcast team. At this event, Rock N Roll and Fine Art collide with multi-million-dollar supercars in the entertainment capital of the world.

BILLY MORRISON has developed successful careers in multiple genres, as a rock guitarist (with Billy Idol for the past 15 years), a solo recording artist, and as a contemporary fine artist. Self-study and experimentation are the essence of Morrison’s process, working with oil paints and spray in a Warhol-esque aesthetic. Morrison’s iconic style mimics the effects of multilayered screen printing through a street art approach with the use of stencils.

MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS is a world-renowned photographer who has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS. Weiss’ inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s. His best-selling and critically acclaimed 2020 book “The Decade That Rocked” is captured through the lens of someone who lived and breathed the 80’s in all its grit and glory.

OZZY OSBOURNE Talks About His Induction Into The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

DATE: AUGUST 15, 2024

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

OZZY OSBOURNE
TALKS ABOUT HIS INDUCTION INTO
THE 2024 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

Following OZZY OSBOURNE’s two (2) Grammy Awards in 2023 for “Best Rock Album” (his first-ever win in the category) and “Best Metal Performance” from his hugely successful and critically acclaimed PATIENT NUMBER 9 album (Epic Records) and a recent #1-charting Active Rock Song “Crack Cocaine”—a collaboration with Billy Morrison and Steve Stevens —he is now setting his sights on the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. OSBOURNE has earned a solo induction for his nearly six decade career in music (Black Sabbath was inducted in 2006). This honor makes OZZY one of a handful of artists with multiple inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“It’s still hard to believe I’m about to be a two-time inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” OZZY says. “I’m really looking forward to attending (the induction ceremony in Cleveland this October. More importantly, I am so blessed to have had such an incredible career with amazing fans who have stuck by me through thick and thin over the years.”

The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction will be seen live on Saturday, October 19 at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The 2024 ceremony will once again stream live on Disney+ with a special airing on ABC at a later date and available on Hulu the next day.

EVA UNDER FIRE, led by powerhouse vocalist EVA MARIE, surprised audience members at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI last Thursday night, August 8, by joining iconic rock outfit 30 Seconds To Mars on stage during their “Seasons Tour.” EVA sang alongside vocalist Jared Leto during the performance of their groundbreaking Double-Platinum hit single, “The Kill.” EVA UNDER FIRE won an online contest held by 30 Seconds To Mars earlier this year after submitting their shattering rendition of “The Kill” from a recent taping at Sirius XM’s NYC studios. Watch EVA and 30 Seconds To Mars performance streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“Singing ‘The Kill’ with 30 Seconds To Mars meant the world to me,” exclaims EVA. “30 Seconds To Mars is one of the bands I listened to when I was first discovering my love for rock music. To be up there on a massive stage with the man himself screaming my 2004 emo anthem was a nod to my younger self, like ‘we made it!’ The band’s team was very kind. My bandmates were all able to come and support me. It was an incredible moment.”

Lauded as one of SIRIUS XM’s 2023 “Ones To Watch,” EVA UNDER FIRE are currently recording the follow-up to their acclaimed 2022 debut album LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (Better Noise Music). Its deluxe version, which includes the Top 20 Active Rock radio-charting single “Unstoppable” featuring country/rock artist Cory Marks, was released in 2023 followed by a first pressing of the original record on vinyl. Stream/download LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (DELUXE) HERE.

EVA UNDER FIRE have toured across the globe with acts including Bush, Bad Wolves, Pop Evil, Skillet, and Finger Eleven while also appearing at some of rock’s biggest festivals (Aftershock, Inkcarceration, Rock Fest). They will next hit the stage at Rocklahoma on August 30.

EVA UNDER FIRE substantially expanded their fanbase following Eva’s featured appearance in the horror-thriller The Retaliators (Better Noise Films) and the inclusion of their single “Blow (ft. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)” on the film’s soundtrack. Their single, “Heroin(e),” was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2020 film Sno Babies (Better Noise Films) which saw astonishing results and to date has over 26 million streams.

Bay Area staple alt rock group FINISH TICKET share a third listen to new music from their upcoming sophomore album ECHO AFTERNOON–due September 6 via Better Noise Music—with the dreamy and melodic track “Peace of Mind.” The song, out digitally Friday, August 5, was written about humanities never-ending quest to find ‘peace of mind’ as its lyrics relay: ‘Another life, another day; You’ll find peace of mind.’

They made their debut late-night TV performance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” In 2019, FINISH TICKET self-released their hit track “Dream Song,” which garnered over 4.1 million streams and saw the band embark on a successful headlining tour, selling out multiple venues across the country. Then COVID hit in 2020 and put everything to a halt.

After spending the past three years writing and recording their second full-length album, Echo Afternoon, FINISH TICKET signed a record deal with Better Noise Music. This was supported by a U.S. run with The Beaches followed by a summer long tour which included a performance at Lollapalooza (alongside headlining acts Billie Eilish and Karol G and Arizona’s Innings Fest. Stay tuned for news on upcoming dates in the coming weeks.
