When giants walked the Earth - Mick Wall

Over ten years after WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH, Mick Wall's
seminal biography of the band, comes this major and extensively
researched revision, which provides an unflinching look at life
inside one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time, and presents
the definitive, final word on Led Zeppelin.

They were 'the last great band of the sixties; the first great band of the
seventies'; they rose, somewhat unpromisingly, from the ashes of the
Yardbirds to become one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time. Mick Wall, respected rock writer and former confidant of both Page and Plant, unflinchingly tells the story of the band that wrote the
rulebook for on-the-road excess - and eventually paid the price for it,
with disaster, drug addiction and death.

WHEN GIANTS WALKED
THE EARTH reveals for the first time the true extent of band leader
Jimmy Page's longstanding interest in the occult, and goes behind the
scenes to expose the truth behind their much-hyped yet spectacularly
contrived comeback at London's O2 arena in 2007, and how Jimmy Page
plans to bring the band back permanently - if only his former protg,
now part-time nemesis, Robert Plant will allow him to. Wall also
recounts, in a series of flashbacks, the life stories of the five
individuals that made the dream of Led Zeppelin into an even more
incredible and hard-to-swallow reality: Page, Plant, John Paul Jones,
John Bonham, and their infamous manager, Peter Grant.
