Noe Gold
I have been features editor at the Hollywood Reporter and an editor and contributor to Variety, editor-in-chief of Movies USA, Bikini and Guitar World and a columnist for the Village Voice and the New York Daily News. My company, noemedia, produced FX HEROES, a national newsstand magazine about big action movies. In television, I have served as the Managing Editor of VH1 and a writer/producer for Turner Broadcasting. My entertainment news column, "The Daily Fix", was a regular feature of the AOL Entertainment Channel. My stories have appeared in Rolling Stone, GQ, USA Today, Premiere, The Movies and The Los Angeles Times Magazine. I am the author of articles and books on the music of Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Ry Cooder, Miles Davis, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King and Jaco Pastorius, among others I recently revived what used to be known as a mail-order company, Guitar Galaxy, to market and distribute some of the artifacts I was known for when I edited and founded Guitar World magazine. The latest project is a DVD, ROY BUCHANAN, TELLY TALK. For more info and how to order the DVD, see "How to Order Roy Buchanan..."
