Summary of the Book
They were legends based on myths—myths of fantasy, power, and black magic. The tales of their tours were the most outrageous in the already excess-laden annals of modern music. The era of Led Zeppelin personified sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
Based on interviews with the band’s musicians, friends, employees, and lovers, Hammer of the Gods tells the shocking story of Led Zeppelin’s successes and excesses in the 70’s when Zeppelin reigned as the industry’s biggest act.
Exclusive sources. Documents. Interviews. Photos. Revelations about a band and an industry at its shameless peak. Read it all, and see why Hammer of the Gods is a classic of rock journalism in its own right.
Reviews of Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga
Cigarettes with batteries in them? Beer with no alcohol in it? Backstage passes to spiritual gurus, therapists, personal trainers, and dietary consultants instead of groupies and dope peddlers?…Although it’s hard to separate much of what passes for fact here from myth—even with a crowbar—it’s nearly untouchable when it comes to tawdry, lurid, cheap thrills, everything from rumored Faustian bargains with Lucifer to groupie, baked bean, marine life, cocaine, and heroin abuse…Thirty-seven years on at the time of this writing, as we’re still adjusting to a kinder, gentler, fuzzier, and warmer music biz—but infinitely more fucked up in most other regards—“Hammer of the Gods” will still leave you feeling unclean for having read it. Worth tracking down. (by Dr. Detroit, goodreads.com)
