About the Book

Veteran rock journalist Mick Wall unflinchingly tells the story of the band that pushed the envelope on both creativity and excess, even by rock n' roll standards. Led Zeppelin was the last great band of the 1960s and the first great band of the 1970s and "When Giants Walked the Earth "is the full, enthralling story of Zep from the inside, written by a former associate of both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Rich and revealing, it bores into not only the disaster, addiction and death that haunted the band but also into the real relationship between Page and Plant, including how it was influenced by Page's interest in the occult. Comprehensive and yet intimately detailed, "When Giants Walked the Earth "literally gets into the principals' heads to bring to life both an unforgettable band and an unrepeatable slice of rock history."

About the Author :
MICK WALL has written about music since 1977. He is one of England's best known music journalists: his work has appeared in "Mojo," the "Mail on Sunday "and a variety of other publications, and he has written ten rock n' roll biographies. He lives in England."

Review :
Led Zeppelin still thunders over the kingdom of rock, decades after the quartet split up. Veteran U.K. music scribe Wall takes on the mammoth task of humanizing the band through a detailed but colorful biography that benefits from his unusual amount of access to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Wall does well to shine light on the myths and the music magic of Led Zep--rendering what could have been cartoonish real and sincere.
