Or what their names were. I mean, now I know why that Led guy loved lemons so much. It just made me aware of the fact that in this case, the music is enough. I say this because I literally grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, to the point that I could recognize them from a half-second of playtime as I'm flipping through the radio dial or skipping randomized songs on my phone playlist.

Let's move on. Led Zeppelin was the last great band of the 1960s and the first great band of the 1970s—and When Giants Walked the Earth is the full, enthralling story of Zep from the inside, written by a former confidante of both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

I was totally going to do a parody of the chapter intros here, but the thought of actually trying to imitate second person narration made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Dammit. Except one thing, which admittedly does make me rage twitch: John Bonham attempting to "force a flight attendant to have sex with him" should have been called exactly what it was, Mick Wall. Just sayin'.

So. But, aside from Simon Vance, and the FIRST time through the origin story, I don't have anything positive to say about this.

Attempted rape. Led Zeppelin partook. If you're going to show all the warts, don't fucking try to slap a bandaid over the biggest, nastiest one. If so, good for him. WHY, when Led Zeppelin's time together and Bonham's life itself was coming to an end, were we STILL ON THE FORMATION OF THE BAND?? Formed by guitarist Page, Led Zeppelin clicked immediately.

In their last years, writes Wall, the band played under a “cold, black cloud,” with U.S. fans sometimes rampaging.

So, nah. Led Zeppelin took old folk songs, blues songs, jazz songs, songs that I never would have listened to in any form otherwise, and made them into something magical and beautiful and haunting, or whatever it was they were going for. As I've gone along, I've talked myself into rating this book way lower than I ever would have thought.
