Es gibt Menschen, die Künstler zu legendären Liedern inspirieren. In »Der Typ aus dem Song« dreht sich alles um Männer und Jungs, die die Kreativität der Songwriter und Songwriterinnen beflügelt haben. In vielen Stücken geht es um Partnerschaften oder deren Scheitern, so wie in »Back To Black«, das Amy Winehouse über ihre turbulente On-Off-Beziehung mit Blake Fielder-Civil schrieb. Andere Lieder handeln von sehr persönlichen Erlebnissen und Einschnitten – Eric Clapton hat beispielsweise die Trauer um seinen tödlich verunglückten Sohn in »Tears In Heaven« verarbeitet. Und da Musiker auch selbst Musikfans sind, gibt es Titel, die eine Hommage an Künstlerkollegen darstellen, so zum Beispiel »Cast No Shadow« von Oasis, das Richard Ashcroft gewidmet ist. In »Der Typ aus dem Song« werden 50 wahre und faszinierende Geschichten erzählt, Songtexte entschlüsselt, Hintergründe aufgedeckt und Missverständnisse aufgeklärt. Fotos, Minibiografien und Zitate machen das Pendant zu »Das Mädchen aus dem Song« zu einer interessanten und äußerst unterhaltsamen Reise durch die Popkultur.

Dave Grohl, drummer in Nirvana on Kurt Cobain's genre-defining grunge anthems, successfully switched instruments to then become guitarist, singer, and frontman of the acclaimed Foo Fighters. This biography traces Grohl's history from schoolboy to superstar, examining his musical roots, and his motivation to remain at the top of his tree.

'Das Mädchen aus dem Song' zeigt, wie Bob Dylan in seinem bewegenden Liebes- und Abschiedslied Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right (1963) seinen Frust über die Trennung von Suze Rotolo verarbeitete, in die er sich unsterblich verliebt hatte. Stings Zeilen »Every breath you take / Every move you make / I’ll be watching you« (1983) werden gern als Liebesbekenntnis bei Hochzeiten gespielt, doch damit besang er nicht etwa seine Zuneigung gegenüber seiner baldigen Exfrau, sondern seine brennende Eifersucht. In Moses (2003) verkündete der Coldplay-Sänger Chris Martin seine Liebe zur Schauspielerin Gwyneth Paltrow; ihr gemeinsamer Sohn wurde auch auf diesen Namen getauft. 'Das Mädchen aus dem Song' erzählt die bewegenden Entstehungs- und Verbreitungsgeschichten 50 legendärer Songs anhand vieler Anekdoten, Zitate und Fotos. Mini-Biografien der Bands und Performer sowie ausführliche Hintergrundinformationen über die Muse, die den jeweiligen Song inspirierte, runden das Buch ab. Diese faszinierende Reise durch die Popkultur ist gleichzeitig eine große Liebeserklärung an den Popsong.

Dieser opulente Bildband folgt dem Leben einer Legende, von den Anfängen als hyperaktives Wunderkind und Frontmann der Familienband Jackson Five bis zu dem Höhepunkt als selbstbewusster Superstar auf dem Cover von Thriller, das immer noch das bestverkaufte Album aller Zeiten ist. Er analysiert die magischen Tanzschritte wie den Moonwalk, die Jackson zu einem sensationellen Live-Act machten, feiert die faszinierende Musik, die ihm den Titel „King of Pop“ einbrachte und verfolgt sein Leben bis zu dem geplanten Comeback, dass so grausam vor dem ersten Vorhang verhindert wurde. „Michael Jackson - Die Legende“ erzählt die unglaubliche Geschichte dieses einzigartigen Mannes, dessen musikalisches Vermächtnis überdauern wird.

All the varied strands of Grohl's musical output are examined in this detailed guide to his career, placing the singer/guitarist/drummer superstar in the context of contemporaries and musical styles that have influenced him. Born in Ohio but raised in Washington, DC, Grohl's first professional drumming work was with Scream. Heatley examines this early period, before turning to Grohl's contribution to Nirvana's immortal album Nevermind. After Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide, Grohl relaunched his career as guitarist/singer of the Foo Fighters, the band originally created as a studio vehicle for Grohl's songwriting ambitions. The Foos' eponymous 1995 first release went platinum, and 1997's The Colour and the Shape was another a worldwide hit. Two years later, There is Nothing Left to Lose was released to equal critical acclaim. Heatley looks closely at the development of the Foo Fighters during this period and at the contributions made by the other members of the band. In 2002, Grohl surprised everyone by climbing back on the drummer's stool again to tour with hard rock contenders Queens of the Stone Age (he has also played with Tom Petty, Probot, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, and Killing Joke). As Grohl changes and develops, few can predict his next move. As the man himself said "I've done almost everything I could imagine doing."
