First-ever look at the intertwining, outrageous lives of three rock
legends. When Lou Reed and Iggy Pop first met David Bowie in the fall
of 1971, Bowie was just another English musician passing through New
York City. Lou was still recovering from the collapse of the Velvet
Underground, and Iggy had already been branded a loser... Yet within
two years they completely changed the face of popular music with a
decadent glamour and street-level vibe. With Bowie producing, Reed's
Transformer album was a worldwide hit, spinning off the sleazy street
anthem “Walk on the Wild Side.” Iggy's Raw Power, mixed by Bowie,
provided the mean-spirited, high-octane blueprint for Punk. Bowie
boosted elements from both Iggy and Reed to create his gender-bending
rock idol Ziggy Stardust. Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell is the
story of this friendship and the incredible productivity and
debauchery that emerged from it. Presented here for the very first
time are their stories interwoven in a triple helix of sexuality, glam
rock, and drugs – as seen through the eyes of the people who made it
happen.
