When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography Of Led Zeppelin
Autor Mick Wallen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mar 2026
Reissued as part of White Rabbit's prestigious Deep Cuts series, with a new Foreword from Lenny Kaye, comes the fully updated edition of Mick Wall's definitive biography of Led Zeppelin. Written by respected rock writer and former confidant of both Page and Plant, When Giants Walked the Earth features never-before-seen material and exclusive interviews with those who were there at the heart of the band's rise to fame.
It's a story of a band that wrote the rulebook for on-the-road excess - and eventually paid the price for it, with disaster, drug addiction and death. Looking back over the last six decades, Wall unflinchingly tells the story of the band's phenomenal success, fallouts and feuds and the toll this has taken on their lives.
Above all, this is a book that tells the full, shocking story of Led Zeppelin from the inside. For now, it is the closest you'll get to the truth.
'The very best and most cogently argued account. Sensational' New York Times
'The only Led Zeppelin biography I have in my house' Jason Bonham

Recenzii
So this is the big one: a fat, juicy biography of the biggest band ever...Mick Wall, the veteran rock journalist, lays it all bare in a book that can only be described as definitive
As well as being the most complete account yet of a great British rock band, When Giants Walked the Earth is, as its name implies, a document of a bygone age....Wall has done his subject proud
It deftly strikes the balance between lofty authority and finding a way to get inside the heads of its subjects
This fantastic account of Led Zeppelin's wild and decadent heyday is as detailed and definitive as music biographies get
The definitive account of rock legends Led Zeppelin
A fascinating and diligently researched account of rock'n'roll excess
The definitive book about Led Zeppelin... Mick Wall has done a fine job here and certainly knows his stuff
That Wall can add so much fresh detail to the Led Zep story is in itself an extraordinary achievement. That he manages to humanise these planet-striding giants while doing so puts this book into the "definitive" category
We've read about the booze, drugs, devil worship and deviant sex... Mick Wall delves a lot deeper into the dark stuff
