The Bee Gees: Tales of the Brothers Gibb (Paperback)

Customer Review

The book is not a biography in the conventional sense. Although it is a complete treatise of life of the musician. It starts with the parents of the Bee Gees and ends with the death of Robin Gibbs.
Although the career is dealt with chronologically, is not always clearly separated in time sequence. In many places, the past is already woven or prejudice to events of later life. It's amazing that nevertheless such a comprehensive and interesting work is created. Here no Goastwriter the Bee Gees has written a work to get it to sell well. Rather, an amazingly revealing work is from the collaboration of a "Authors teams' emerged.
The chapters of the book are named (with very striking) song titles the musician. Numerous witnesses and companions to speak. We learn interesting things to and about the Bee Gees, which are customary in the tabloids and the music media is not (or only bröckchenweise) was published. Completing the work is by an extensive discography and a list of all (known) Bee Gees Title. As something new for everyone.
Sometimes facts can no longer be assigned precisely. It is then explicitly referred. The careers of the musicians is very meticulously illuminated. Whether it comes to love, drugs, early marriages and painful separations. The sister Lesley, who consciously chose not to join the circus music, like the (unhappy) late-born Andy, who would have liked some of the band (but was too young). In content (apparently) is not concealed anything. Since the very eventful childhood, coming from the depths of poverty family, shown in great detail. Also that the "kids" were not angels and it had sometimes sly old ears.
That success and glamor have a price, everything had to be worked hard and the children nothing was paid, one learns only in this brochure. Each of the 3 brothers had put away health tragedies. It's a wonder that it is not depression and job grew. Perhaps these events but only also led to the Bee Gees with their lyrics and melodies
so sensitive, immortalized life stories over and over again. The early mature, unconditional and irrepressible will to succeed springs from any imposed dictates of parents, but the interior of the 3 brothers themselves. The success came not in the self-running. Although today much greater influence, music was at that time controlled by producers, radio stations and DJs. As beautiful pieces of music were panned and much later fed her well-deserved fame. Less well known is the commitment of the brothers for the film, not only for the film music itself. There are various, unknown beautiful compositions without vocals. Since the signature of the Bee Gees is not so obvious. The artists have to have an enormous range of musical repertoire. Cooperation with the Beatles and other variables of the business is publicly hushed. A musical history like hers will not be repeated. It is unique (also because of various round-Hers within the band). The life's work of the Bee Gees is great, unique and so complex that it will go down as a cultural asset in the story. The tireless ingenuity and unbroken creative power (eg a Robin Gibb, even on his deathbed) has no equal.
The stories of the Bee Gees have impressed me very deeply. And I pay tribute to the artists utmost respect. Starting with rather simple (that was so wanted) texts like "World", 12 minute songs like "Hudson Fallen Wind" numerous hinschmelzende ballads. The Bee Gees have influenced the music business perfectly.
Remains unanswered in the book the question of where the Gibbs as children had been the strength and the inspiration to write so many, beautiful, often very emotional and melancholic lyrics, they have also connected with catchy melodies. Was it the competition of brothers among themselves?
More and more new issues (also politically motivated) have addressed the musicians in unforgettable masterpieces. Although me better personally the interpretations of the early years with a lot of orchestral background in memory, it has earned every hit of the Bee Gees, to be named in the same breath as the greatest pop music. Never the Bee Gees their personal tragedy of the moment have to the outside world. A lesson learned from early childhood, the very good, the book describes.
Although listed in the factory, there are also a myriad of titles that have been lost forever. Because they are not laying on producers or boycotted with flimsy grounds. Including the 2nd solo album Robin Gibbs is just as "A kick in the head ...". Both class music.
Those who do not / are interested in your music for the Bee Gees, is the valley to little abgewinnen. Who wants to have a say in the pop music or may become warm for backgrounds as driving, career, fate ... or the band itself, for which the book is a very good brochure. Personally, I have it "swallowed". It was my fastest read book ever. Every new page has captivated me more than the bestselling novel by Dan Brown or an exciting thriller.
But the best is that everything written does not come solely from the authors, but of witnesses and companions. Here's behind also enormous research work. Of course, always comes the family to speak for themselves.
A great book, which holds one of the bewunderswertesten careers in pop history unadorned in unexpected depth. Maybe there will even be a new edition, which briefly outlines what it is the solitude of the Barry Gibb. The Bee Gees are dead but, even if it will go with various descendants also musically on. The Bee Gees 2.0 will not give it! They were unique. Thank you for your work and thank you for this book.
