    Neil Zlozower shares some of his favorite Van Halen Stories
    Wednesday, 16 June 2010

    Rock Photography icon Neil Zlozower shares some of his Van Halen favorite stories with Nikki Sixx in a new interview on Nikki’s website, SixxSense.com.

    In this interview, Zlozower recalls some memorable tales of Van Halen’s climb to superstardom from 1978 - 1980. Length is 19:36.

    As part of Van Halen’s entourage, “Zloz”, toured America with Van Halen, becoming their primary photographer in their years. He was their friend who had the intimate access to the band that no one else had. Whether on the stage of a football stadium, poolside at a Holiday Inn or at Dave’s dad’s house, Neil and his camera were there and in everyone’s face.

    Zlozower has a number of books on rock photography — including Van Halen: A Visual History, 1978-1984, which is the definitive Van Halen photo book. The 232 coffee table hardcover is jam packed with hundreds of classic and never before published photos. This treasure is a must have for any fan of Van Halen! Van Halen Store is offering the book SIGNED by Neil Zlozower, himself! Click here to to learn more about the book or order your autographed copy!

                  100's of hot Texas women in a real Caligula orgy. I would hang around the band as well. Basically Neil was saying he got a quality lay with Van Halen but couldn't get laid with Quiet Riot or Journey. LOL!

                      I met Zloz backstage at an Aerosmith show when GNR was opening for them on Permanent Vacation tour in 1988. He's a character. He asked if we had any pot, no dude sorry. He talked about that feeling you get if you haven't got high for 3 days, LOL

                        I always dug the way he says the word "brutal".....he says it with such conviction. Just like how Dave says "Rock'N'Roll". You understand the meaning just in the way it's said.

                        When Zloz talks about Van Halens first tour with Sabbath, he says "they were br-u-u-u-u-tal"

                        ....that's always cracked me up.


                        Zloz fuckin' RULES!!!
