The gold-standard biography of the band Led Zeppelin--revised and updated with new material for fans of the band and this beloved rock classic. "One of the most notorious rock biographies ever written." -- Chicago Tribune The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted, and their music transcendent. No band ever flew as high as Led Zeppelin or suffered so disastrous a fall. And only some of them lived to tell the tale. Originally published in 1985, and last updated in 2008, Hammer of the Gods is considered the ultimate word on Led Zeppelin, and a definitive rock and roll classic that captures the first heavy metal monsters in all their excessive glory. With new material from bestselling biographer Stephen Davis this edition includes the story of their legendary one-night-only reunion in 2007 and the post-Zeppelin work of each member, especially Robert Plant's Grammy-winning collaborations with Alison Krauss. An up-to-date discography brings this New York Times bestseller fully to the present, and will captivate a new generation of music fans, Zeppelin fans, and readers.

This was an interesting, detailed book about Led Zeppelin, informative without being too hyping or melodramatic. I like how the author would branch out for a chapter to discuss peripheral points that are relevant to the story (such as the chapter on Alister Crowley). Unfortunately, toward the end he seemed to get tired and started rushing through things to get done. For example, he never discusses at all (in fact, seems to just skim past) the rift that developed between John Paul Jones and Plant/Page, which I'd wondered about.
