Based on more than 200 interviews with everyone from Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones to road manager Richard Cole, their late manager Peter Grant, and many others central to the Zeppelin story
Features striking photos of the band both on and offstage, many published here for the first time
Takes a fresh look at Led Zeppelin's music, cultural significance, and legend, as well as the highs and lows of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle on the road
Analyzes the way the band wrote, arranged, and recorded, from how they created the stupendous sound and dynamics on "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love" to the group's folk-suffused acoustic side embodied in songs like "Friends" and "That's the Way"
Written by Barney Hoskyns, contributing editor at British Vogue who is the author of the bestselling book Hotel California and the co-founder of online music-journalism library Rock's Backpages
Reviews / Votes
"An exhaustive and exemplary portrait"-Bernadette McNulty, London Daily Telegraph"This meticulously compiled oral history... has a wonderful humour and a careful examination of the how and why of the darkness that surrounded the band and its entourage."-Hugh MacDonald, Sunday Herald (Scotland)
"An engrossing trip through the sordid '70s."-Will Hodgkinson, The Times (London)
"Barney Hoskyns's exhaustive history... never forgets that behind the caricature was an extraordinary band, lithe and limber."-Michael Hann, The Guardian (London)
"Hoskyns leaves no stone unturned." -Publishers' Weekly
"Every time I think I know everything about Led Zeppelin, a book like this comes along and reminds me that I know nothing."-Chuck Klosterman
"This is the proper book Zeppelin have always deserved."-Nick Coleman, author of The Train in the Night
"Barney Hoskyns is rock's poet of observation, a journalist with a very valuable gift for separating the nugget from the slag. [This oral history] is a complex tale that makes sense of the senseless, weighing artistic triumph against human tragedy."-Fred Goodman, author of The Mansion on the Hill
"The saga of Led Zeppelin told by those who knew them when, this intimate oral history goes beyond scandal to reveal the all-too-humans behind this most Promethean of rock bands."-Lenny Kaye
