"Wow, what a book! We're blown away, the best book of that kind we've ever seen." -- Suzy Shaw, Bomp! Records, "Wow, what a book! We're blown away, the best book of that kind we've ever seen." Suzy Shaw, Bomp! Records, "David Arnoff is a renegade misfit from the Rust Belt shooting outcasts who congregate from one ghetto to the next in search of other miscreants to make mischief with. His delightful travelogue Shot in the Dark illustrates his obsessive drive to illuminate the provocative creatures who live by night and create ungodly sounds in rebellious protest against the pointless chatter of ordinary mortals who cannot comprehend that magic lives in the devil's music." --Lydia Lunch, "David Arnoff is a renegade misfit from the Rust Belt shooting outcasts who congregate from one ghetto to the next in search of other miscreants to make mischief with.

Synopsis
David Arnoff's photography sheds intimate new light on the music of the underground from the earliest days of punk to the present. Shot in black-and-white, his subjects display an instantly recognizable and effortless style and confidence. His subjects include such iconic bands and musicians as The Ramones, The Damned, The Buzzcocks, Nico, Patti Smith, The Stray Cats, Johnny Thunders, Blondie, The Dead Kennedys, Gang of Four, The Dead Boys, The Gun Club, Nick Cave, Devo, Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Specials, and many more. He has always sought out the bands and people whose music he felt an affinity for, and photographed many of them just as they were starting out. "Cleveland is where I come from, which is no joke, despite what the cheap comedians say. It's as gritty as the blackened roadside snow and as soulful as the music it generated. I started out the same year that local disc jockey Alan Freed went on-air to introduce the world to the music that he called rock 'n roll. He soon shook things up further by unleashing it live and in person at the Moondog Coronation Ball. That first teenage bash turned into a riot from the off and the cops shut it down after only one song was played. Rock 'n roll had arrived in fine style. Of course, I was way too young to witness that initial blast, but that music was on the car radio, in the city air, and in my DNA, as the fella says. I was there in spirit. And that's where my spirit remained, after I was dragged off as a kid to sunny California. I do not have a sunny disposition. L.A. and I did not take to each other. It was a bad situation. But eventually something came along to change things for the better. In 1976, The Pattie Smith Group came to town. Which is where this book begins.", David Arnoff's photography sheds intimate new light on the music of the underground from the earliest days of punk to the present.

- 1***c (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdering the true 1st edition of this book proved to be an ordeal. It took me four goes to finally land one! It seems for this specific book the automated form filling software used by many sellers puts forward the multiple reprints between 1999 and 2001 as 1st editions. Thankfully this seller provided detailed photos, so I could order in confidence. The book arrived on the 1st day of the delivery window and was very securely boxed up. A happy customer.
