When giants walked the Earth - Mick Wall

The definitive final word on the world's greatest rock band, Led Zeppelin.

Over ten years after WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH,
Mick's seminal biography of the band, comes this major and extensively
researched revision, which will provide an unflinching look at life
inside one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time, and present
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.
