No1ZeppelinFan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Just finished and wondered what your opinion was who's read it? I thought it was quite good and generally accurate. Better than Hammer of the Gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glicine Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's an amusing read, but generally accurate? And a lot of stuffs in Hammer of the Gods came from Richard Cole, if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's an amusing read, but generally accurate? And a lot of stuffs in Hammer of the Gods came from Richard Cole, if I remember correctly. It gave me a good laugh (especially the Bonham at the art gallery incident)....more or less the same as Hammer, only told differently. Led Zeppelin as soap food.

No1ZeppelinFan Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 How did you reach that conclusion? Oh, So all the Tour dates, Concerts, Persons present, Karac, Plants accident are wrong? I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knebby Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Oh, So all the Tour dates, Concerts, Persons present, Karac, Plants accident are wrong? I see and that makes it "generally accurate"? Y'know what - you aren't arguing this point with me. The surviving members described it as crap and mostly inaccurate. Tell us they are wrong.

Knebby Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Er no - actually just responding to the thread. Sorry if you wanted me to praise the book and I didn't - its just that it's a nasty piece of work written by someone with an axe to grind - who's probably pretty sorry that he ever did it. As for the "always one in every thread" remark - yeah, you said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal light Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I wonder who has written the most accurate account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's a good read, but not everything in there is 100% true. If the band members have issues, then something has to be wrong. Still entertaining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1ZeppelinFan Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I wonder who has written the most accurate account. I wonder as well. Any others recommended by anyone? Biography type. Tried the new one "When Giants walked the earth" but didnt like the way it was written with the fantasy/thoughts of the band. You know what I mean?

glicine Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 No problem Knebby. You're just as biased as the surviving band members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanella Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 but, saying that my favourite ot of all these books about Led Zeppelin has to be My brother John, by Mick Bonham, a friend sent me this book, it was so informative, and had some lovely pictures of The Bonham Family, and I found it a very sad book, but, nicely set out and written.
