Steven Tyler Mention - Ross Halfin Interview
Scotsman, UK
July 16, 2005
Great Rock'n'Roll Photography - like great rock'n'roll - is largely a matter of timing.... A new exhibition, Made of Metal, at Proud Galleries in London, displays more than 50 of (Ross) Halfin's images taken over the last 30 years.... Inevitably, in that time, Halfin has sampled more than his fair share of rock'n'roll misbehaviour.... Does he reckon that good bands always take good pictures? "Yeah, they do - bands with some edge who look dangerous. Guns'n'Roses looked good in the day. Now Axl looks like a silly old man." Warming to his subject (rock stars: discuss - preferably disparagingly), Halfin confirms the general conception that Guns'n'Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash is one of the good guys. Halfin also still rates Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe for their adherence to the old school rock show and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Audioslave's Chris Cornell and Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland as great rock frontmen....
