About this listen
An in-depth biography of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page by the acclaimed biographer of Bob Marley and Joe Strummer, based upon the author's extensive research and interviews.
The original enigmatic rock star, Jimmy Page is a mass of contradictions. A towering presence in the guitar world and one of the most revered rock guitarists of all time, in private he is reclusive and mysterious, retiring and given to esoteric interests. Over the decades, he has exchanged few words to the press given the level of his fame, and an abiding interest in the demonic and supernatural has only made the myth more potent.
But in the midst of this maelstrom, who was Jimmy Page? Rock journalist Chris Salewicz has conducted numerous interviews with Page over the years and has created the first portrait of the guitarist that can be called definitive, penetrating the shadows that surround him to reveal the fascinating man who dwells within the rock legend.

"[Salewicz] lovingly records all the highs and bathetic lows of the rock-star afterlife."--The Sunday Times (London)

Almost everything I expected
The book itself was very good and pretty much what I expected. My own Led Zeppelin obsession began when I read “Hammer of the Gods” in the eighties while a camp councillor. I knew Zep peripherally but when I dug into them I was hooked. I was particularly interested to find that Zeppelin’s country side recording of the fourth album took place not far from where I was born and raised in Hampshire in the same year I was born. Stairway to Heaven and I were gestating at the same time, miles apart.

Full of Inaccuracies
Way too many inaccuracies for a Jimmy Page fan. The author was clearly not a Page fan or didn't do their research thoroughly.
