  <default_description>Led Zeppelin was the hottest, hardest, horniest, most hedonistic group in rock history. Their parties defined 60s and 70s excess, their concerts were long, loud and thrilling. Based on interviews and behind-the-scenes stories, here is the truth behind the genius of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and the late John Bonham.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Book is not well written, but informative nonetheless.Despite claims by many people,this book did make clear that Zepplin is far from approaching any type of godhood status. While I was expecting some best/worst of bachanaal/ Dionysian debauchery... I didn't really get a sense of this band approachi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18456317">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Debauched history of the 1970s hard rock Led Zeppelin that is very entertaining. I've never listened to a complete album of theirs--just know the classics and the lore that still surrounds them and Hammer of the Gods goes into all of it. Black magic, groupie sex action, drunken fights off stage, dru...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65863419">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first of the &quot;tell all&quot; books on the greatest rock band ever.  Stephen Davis uses most of the hangers on as well as their road manager, Richard Cole, to recreate the feel of Zeppelin in the 70's.  There are more technical as well as fan driven books on Zeppelin.  However, for y...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38349041">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Please read this extraordinary, totally unauthorized tale of rock-n-roll excess. Imagine having the kind of power that these men had. Look how badly they've aged! Even if half the stories in this book aren't true, they certainly weren't just sitting on the tour bus playing video games. Far from it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After reading The Dirt and other rock bios, this book disappointed. <br/><br/>Perhaps if I had read it years ago I wouldn't feel this way. Tales that once seemed shocking (the mudshark incident, etc.) pale in comparison to Ozzy OSbourne sniffing up ants and urine, Slash and Steven Adler having thr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62947033">more...</a>]]></body>
