"Before his death aged 33 in 1982, Lester Bangs wrote wired, passionate pieces on Barry White, Iggy Pop, The Clash, John Lennon, Lou Reed: 'I always wanted to emulate the most self-destructive bastard I could see, as long as he moved with some sense of style. Thus Lou Reed'. To his journalism, he brought the talent of a great fiction writer. As Greil Marcus writes in his introduction: 'What this book demands from a reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America could write almost nothing but record reviews'"@en
"Lester Bangs ist 'die' grosse Rock-Kritiker-Legende in Amerika. Geboren 1948, arbeitete er ab 1971 fünf Jahre lang beim Rockmagazin Creem und beeinflusste mit seinem neuen subjektiven Stil eine ganze Generation junger Autoren. Bangs ging 1976 als freier Journalist nach New York, schrieb u.a. für den Rolling Stone und gründete die Rockgruppe "Lester Bangs and the Delinquents". In seinen Reportagen, Kritiken, Glossen und Fragmenten entdeckt er in "Wild Thing" von den Troggs eine Art unkontrolliertes Lebensmanifest für die Zukunft. Er bewundert Richard Hell, analysiert den Mythos von Elvis, reektiert sein schwieriges Verhältnis zu Lou Reed, begleitet die Clash auf Tour, schreibt über Iggy Pop and the Stooges, David Bowie, Kraftwerk, PIL u.a. Mit seinen gnadenlos subjektiven Urteilen und vehementen Verurteilungen, Beleidigungen und grossen Lobeshymnen war er der Gonzo-Autor des Rock-Journalismus, der wie kein anderer um die Faszination und Anziehungskraft der neuen Musik wusste. Lester Bangs starb am 30. April 1982 an einer Tablettenunverträglichkeit."
