Ray Gun成立于1992年，是**一本顽固的文化寻求者能够找到另类音乐音乐信息和真正重要的街头风格的杂志。朋克摇滚将流行音乐撕成碎片，创造了对主流文化以外的原始生活方式的渴望，而Ray Gun则是其图形编年史：在其页面上抨击了由Sonic Youth或Iggy Pop等时代定义艺术家组成的视觉盛宴，音乐风格的艺术，以及对裁缝风格的完全重新定义。该杂志的原创艺术总监大卫卡森和他后来的同行们创造了一种全新的视觉文化，打破了平面设计的局限。 Ray Gun与其报道的生活方式一样激进，致力于直观地将另类文化视为一种新的观察和存在方式。 《Ray Gun：音乐和风格的圣经》收集了超过200张全彩照片，里面有杂志上最离经叛道的页面，这些页面帮助塑造了90年代。这部史诗般的选集囊括了许多**照片和关于摇滚乐传奇的文章，如REM，Henry Rollins，Jane s Addiction，The Pixies，Dinosaur Jr.，U2，Marilyn Manson，Smashing Pumpkins，Nine Inch Nails，Mudhoney，Pearl Jam，Bjork，Morrissey， PJ Harvey，Beastie Boys，Soundgarden，Beck以及对David Bowie的**采访。

Founded in 1992, Ray Gun was the only magazine wherein a die-

hard culture seeker could find information on alternative music and the street-

inspired style that really mattered. Punk rock had torn pop music to shreds and created a hunger for an original lifestyle beyond mainstream culture, and Ray Gun was its graphic chronicler: across its pages blasted a visual feast made up of era-

defining artists such as Sonic Youth or Iggy Pop, music-

inspired art, and a complete redefinition of sartorial style. The magazine s original art director, David Carson, and his peers who followed, created an entirely new visual culture that shattered the limitations of graphic design. Ray Gun was as radical as the lifestyle it reported on, deeply committed to visually representing an alternative culture as a new way of seeing and being in the world. With over 200 full-colour photographs, Ray Gun: The Bible of Music and Style gathers the most outrageous pages from the magazine that helped to shape the 90s. This epic anthology features exclusive photographs and articles on rock legends such as R.E.M., Henry Rollins, Jane s Addiction, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., U2, Marilyn Manson, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Bjork, Morrissey, PJ Harvey, Beastie Boys, Soundgarden, Beck and an exclusive interview with David Bowie.
