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.
'Wall's book is many things - a fan's notes, a glimpse into the recording of each album, a rich chronicle that has the advantage of a long view' LA Times

Recenzii
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
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
Deftly strikes the balance between lofty authority and finding a way to get inside the heads of its subjects
Tells of a long-ago time when men with Gibsons were the knights errant of the land, striding around stages shrouded in mist, soloing at great length . . . Does [Mick Wall] have a story for you
Wall's book is many things - a fan's notes, a glimpse into the recording of each album, a rich chronicle that has the advantage of a long view. It takes us from the band's beginnings, in 1968, out of the ashes of the Yardbirds, to what Page, Plant and bassist John Paul Jones have been up to since drummer John Bonham's death in 1980. . . [An] entertaining, thoughtful biography
Brings us a backstage view of the on-tour bacchanalia . . . Wall rides shotgun all the way
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
This fantastic account of Led Zeppelin's wild and decadent heyday is as detailed and definitive as music biographies get
A fascinating and diligently researched account of rock 'n' roll excess
The definitive account of rock legends Led Zeppelin
The definitive book about Led Zeppelin . . . Mick Wall has done a fine job here and certainly knows his stuff
An essential source for anyone eager to learn about the era when rock stars ruled the world
