Over ten years after WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH,Mick Wall'sseminal biography of the band,comes this major and extensivelyresearched revision,which provides an unflinching look at lifeinside one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time,and presentsthe 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 theYardbirds 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 therulebook for on-the-road excess - and eventually paid the price for it,with disaster,drug addiction and death. WHEN GIANTS WALKEDTHE EARTH reveals for the first time the true extent of band leaderJimmy Page's longstanding interest in the occult,and goes behind thescenes to expose the truth behind their much-hyped yet spectacularlycontrived comeback at London's O2 arena in 2007,and how Jimmy Pageplans to bring the band back permanently - if only his former protégé,now part-time nemesis,Robert Plant will allow him to. Wall alsorecounts,in a series of flashbacks,the life stories of the fiveindividuals that made the dream of Led Zeppelin into an even moreincredible and hard-to-swallow reality: Page,Plant,John Paul Jones,John Bonham,and their infamous manager,Peter Grant.
