If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The abnd that out-sold the Rolling Stones and made Robert Johnson's deals with the Devil look like a playdground game of conkers, were as high, inflated and glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis' scorching account of their phenominally successful career, no aspect - however disquieting - is ignored. the infamous encounters with willing groupies in hotel bedrooms, the narcotic, alcoholic and psyhotic wreckage they wreaked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage, Aleister Crowley, on lead guitarist Jimmy Page and 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 is scrutinized.
