Gold Dust Woman gives "the gold standard of rock biographers" (the Boston Globe) his ideal topic: Nicks' work and life are equally sexy and interesting, and Davis delves deeply into each, unearthing fresh details from new, intimate interviews and interpreting them to present a rich new portrait of the star. Just as Nicks (and Lindsay Buckingham) gave Fleetwood Mac the "shot of adrenaline" they needed to become real rock stars - according to Christine McVie - Gold Dust Woman is vibrant with stories and with a life lived large and hard.

In Rocks, Joe Perry exposes his unrepentant, unbridled life as the lead guitarist of Aerosmith. He delves deep into his volatile, profound, and enduring relationship with singer Steve Tyler and reveals the real people behind the larger-than-life rock gods onstage. The nearly five-decade saga of Aerosmith is epic, at once a study in brotherhood and solitude that plays out on the killing fields of rock and roll.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"That Wall can add so much fresh detail to the Led Zep story is in itself an extraordinary achievement. That he manages to humanize these planet-striding giants while doing so puts this book into the 'definitive' category." ( Classic Rock magazine)

Great details but hard work to listen to
This is a detailed book with tons of interesting stories about how the band got together and how they regularly crossed paths with other legends like Steve Winwood,Ron Wood, Bev Bevan - all these great names working the session and touring circuits in the mid 1960s. But the presentation and narration for me were really hard to take. I could do without the second-person flashbacks. They are jarring and obtuse. If Mick Wall had actually had these conversations, then they would have served as a great central thread. But when the introduction says "I made this stuff up," well, it takes away some of the credibility of the piece, just like learning your favorite singer used a voice double to record a tune. Added to this is the distracting cockney narration. Simon Vance does a fine job for most of the book - the third-person narrative - but blimey, mate! Just because Led Zeppelin is a British band doesn't mean the audience needs to be reminded of this in every sentence. It's like a bio of Tim McGraw or Garth Brooks narrated by Foghorn Leghorn or Gomer Pyle. If Jimmy or Robert had said it, then, fine, that's character. But as second person narration, I personally found it a bloody bit over the bloody top, eh, major? Overall a great history of the band for those looking for the intricacies of their collective genius, but I would love to read Version 2, in third person only. Alright, guv?

Great story, great performance
Unfortunately, there were so many repetitive areas within the story, and character changes that made it confusing and disappointing. I still loved hearing about all the things zeppelin, but not so much about Crowley....
All in all I enjoyed the book.

Large chip on shoulder
I found it difficult to get through this book. If you can sift through the authors bias and jealousy to get at actual facts and valid story's then go for it. Otherwise Mick Walls obvious hyper critical garbage is hard to deal with. I wanted to hear a biography of the band - not a critical treatise written by a failed artist who now takes it out on those that succeeded.
The narration was superlative! Simon Vance is a pro!
