[@awildlife4all]

Mark is a true photography legend and a super nice person. If you’re lucky enough to know him or have worked with him you know it! Great documentary!

This guy got some of the best shots of all these artists. It's unbelievable. I grew up seeing his name all over. Thank you, Gibson, for making this video.

Thatsthe weissguy to you Adam ha ! Much appreciated - 📸

[@DrJeebles]

@@thedecadethatrocked9433 Seriously, I have seen your photos in magazines and album liners my whole life. Your photos helped define my growing up in the '80's and '90's. Thank you for pursuing your love of rock and photography and sharing the results with the rest of us. Btw, I will be sure to address you properly as Weissguy in the future. 😺🤘☠️

Easily one of the top three music photographers of all time. Nice video Gibson.

[@billymontana3543]

Proud and honored to have worked with you through those iconic times. So many great memories and life experiences that are priceless today.

[@thedecadethatrocked9433]

You were at some of those classic shoots assisting me - Glad to see you followed your passion and make a career doing what you love. --- weissguy 📸

[@anthonynotte5901]

Listening to Mark retail stories and seeing these iconic photos from great moments which happened well before I was even alive is really gratifying. I’m a huge rock/hard rock/heavy metal enthusiast so I’ve seen a good majority of the bands he talked about live in concert over the years. Mark is a tremendously cool, down-to-earth dude who takes phenomenal photos and I’m happy to call him my friend\m/

[@thedecadethatrocked9433]

Thanks Anthony - The Music from the 80s was a very special time for rock fans. I was fortunate enough to capture it and tag alog with very talented musicians. - weissguy 📸

@@thedecadethatrocked9433 Anytime Mark. I feel the same way.

[@renodavid]

Wow, what a journey. Fascinating to see his progression from a kid sneaking his camera into concerts to a highly successful photographer shooting elaborate studio photos and hanging with the stars.

[@TMoody]

Amazing how it's the thin fine threads in life that can lead you to your destiny. Dude knocked on the door, it opened, a camera was presented to him. Notice, he had to do something (knocked, mowed the grass, etc.). This is a word for someone reading this.... MOVE..... GO...... YOU CAN DO IT!

Love Weiss I grew up watching his rock band photos growing up in the 80s I used to ride my bike across town to buy the circus magazine.. and lucky to grow up in that Time when the rock n roll era was taking off

This is the man that got me into concert photography. I remember seeing those images in Circus and HP and thinking, yeah I want to do that. Thanks Mark for all your great work!

[@thedecadethatrocked9433]

Send me a link to your photography - would love to see it - weissguy

[@StavK]

So cool to hear Mark’s story. As a teenager, his photographs were access to the visual world of rock music and the artists behind it all. I’d religiously head to the newsstand every few weeks and the owner was kind enough to let this kid browse all the music magazines there.

[@wildnitesmusic]

That's why I love Gibson😎😎😎

Was recently introduced to Mark and his exceptional art. Me and my buddies are big fans of the bands he has covered over the many years. What a great interview and a geniunely humble guy. Nice to finally meet you, Mark!

[@thedecadethatrocked9433]

I am a big fan too of the bands. We need to let future generations know how cool it was in the 80's. - weissguy📸

That was really great!! I was never into looking at dudes when I was a kid, but me and my buddy Rusty would rip through the music as fast as we could get our hands on it. We didn't even know what these bands looked like until MTV started. We were in it for the music!! As an amateur photographer, I totally respect the art!
