Legendary rock photographer Mark "Weissguy" Weiss joins Tommy London and Tor for an unforgettable conversation about one of rock's greatest eras and his front row seat to Van Halen's rise. From their first headlining tour to their last, Mark's camera captured some of the band's most iconic moments, creating images that have become part of Van Halen history.

Mark shares behind the scenes stories from photographing David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony, along with his extensive work with Sammy Hagar that continues to this day. Beyond the photographs, Mark reflects on the relationships he built with the artists, what it was like documenting rock's biggest bands at the height of the MTV era, and why preserving that history remains so important. He also discusses his efforts to revive the legendary Rock Scene magazine and the launch of his own publication, Rocked.
