The fully revised and updated biography.\u003cbr\u003eThe final word on the world's greatest rock band, Led Zeppelin, from  esteemed rock journalist and author Mick Wall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOver ten years after WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH, Mick Wall's  seminal biography of the band, comes this major and extensively  researched revision, which \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eprovides 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHEN 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 protégé,  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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943951347809,"sku":"9781409180616","price":16.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_8130983_jpg.jpg?v=1705029954","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781409180616-when-giants-walked-the-earth","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
