Stephen Davis – Hammer of the Gods

If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock, their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that outsold the Rolling Stones, and made Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil look like a playground game of conkens, were as high, inflated and gloryfied as their namesakes.
In Stephen Davis’s scorching account of their phenomenally successful career, no aspect – however disquieting – is ignored. The infamous encounters with willing groupies in hotel bedrooms, the narcotic, alcoholic and psychotic wreckage they wreacked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page, the death of John Bonham are all recorded. Above all, the exultant, blazing charge of their music and its effects on Led Zeppelin and their fans are scrutinized.
„Hammer of the Gods” is a fierce and faerless story about a band thet remain a legend of musical, sexual and mystical power. It is the last word in rock’n’roll savagery.   źródło opisu: tylna okładka źródło okładki: skan
