Critics Review
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 * Daily Telegraph *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 * Sunday Times *It deftly strikes the balance between lofty authority and finding a way to get inside the heads of its subjects * Guardian *This fantastic account of Led Zeppelin’s wild and decadent heyday is as detailed and definitive as music biographies get * London Lite *The definitive account of rock legends Led Zeppelin * Daily Record *A fascinating and diligently researched account of rock’n’roll excess * Yorkshire Evening Post *The definitive book about Led Zeppelin… Mick Wall has done a fine job here and certainly knows his stuff * Birmingham Post *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 * Classic Rock Magazine *We’ve read about the booze, drugs, devil worship and deviant sex… Mick Wall delves a lot deeper into the dark stuff * Irish Times *
