Imagine seeing bands like Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones long before they became famous. Legendary Rock photographer Robert Knight did just that, and has the photos to prove it. Rock Prophecies explores Robert’s amazing career and follows him on his quest to help the bands of today become the Rock legends of tomorrow, whether promoting Panic at the Disco before anybody has heard of them, or convincing Aussie band Sick Puppies to sell everything and move to the United States. When Robert stumbles upon Tyler Dow Bryant – a 16-year old guitar phenom from Texas – he’s convinced he may have found the next Stevie Ray Vaughan. Robert risks his reputation and career and takes a chance on Tyler. The two then set off on an unbelievable journey to take their own shot at making history.
I didn’t write the above paragraph, but it got me pumped to see this film, so I found no reason to rewrite a summary of the movie. If you’re into rock ‘n’ roll movies or documentaries, I highly suggest you check this out. According to the Rock Prophecies Facebook Page the DVD release date is Sept 14th, and the film will be airing nationally throughout the month of September on PBS. As they say, check your local listings.
BUT, to get you even more excited, the filmmakers are giving away a Fender Road Worn ’60s Stratocaster worth $1,199! If you’re not familiar with this axe, here’s the down low:
The Stratocaster really came into its own in the 1960s, with players coaxing unbelievable sounds from it amid punishing stage shows and grueling tours. Beaten, bruised and even burned, they only got better as the years wore on—looking even cooler and feeling even more comfortable. Fender’s new rosewood-fretboard Road Worn ’60s Strat delivers that aged look and feel—built to look, sound and feel like it’s got more than just a few miles on it, designed with 1960s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets.

Wasn’t around for this time period, but sure wish I was… Rock Prophesies looks absolutely incredible!
Here’s to trying, wish everyone luck
i wish i was alive wen this happened because i go to every concert that comes to my town and one of my favorite guitarists mick mars from motley crue has a guitar just like that so it would be a price;less possession
I’ve been playing the acoustic guitar since I was 8 but never was really able to afford an electric guitar… I would do anything to get an actual playable electric its always been my dream!
Hendrix is my single biggest inpiration to play guitar. I wasnt around when he was but when i listen to his music it fills me with the passion that im sure everyone felt when they watched him live.
The 60′s what an incredible era for music , and instruments. I would love to win this .
Old school Strat. I’d love to have it.
