Product Description:
No one knew Led Zeppelin like Richard Cole. The band's tour manager for more than a decade, Cole was there when they burst onto the music scene, achieved cult status, cut platinum records, and transformed popular music. Second only to the Beatles in sales for years, Led Zeppelin was rock's premier group. But unlike the boys from Liverpool, the excitement of this band"s music was matched by the fever pitch of their antics on and off the stage....
In hotel rooms and stadiums, in a customized private Boeing 707 jet and country estates, Richard Cole saw it all -- and here he tells it all in this close-up, down-and-dirty, no-holds-barred account that records the highs, the lows, and the occasional in-betweens. This revised edition brings fans up to date on the band members' lives and careers, which may be a little quieter now, but their songs remain the same.

Being a pretty big Zeppelin fan for the most part of my life, I picked this up at a bookstore. The stories of the band are halarious. Driving cars into lakes. Bonham using various accessories as a toilet. A bit after I read it I found out that Richard Cole isn't exactly a reliable source. According to the band, most of this book was made up (though it might be disputed, some of the stories weren't exactly flattering to the boys). I still enjoyed it, and would have to say it was a nice peice of fiction. ... Read More

Go backstage with this legendary band and live their exploits through the eyes of an insider - all the good/bad/ugliness associated with the individual members themselves. An amazing read to better understand four of the musicians who have shaped modern rock and influenced many throughout the past 40 years, as well as understanding the rock scene of that era and all the sex and drugs associated with it.

Some of this book is true, some of it not true, some of it Cole knew not to be true and some he simply can't remember. When Robert Plant mentioned it to him, he looked sheepish and said "some of it is true, you know." Basically, it is too long ago for him to remember much of what is presented as fact, plus, he was heavily into drugs at the time.
The book is badly written anyway in my opinion and could have done with severe editing and the admission that it isn't really about Zeppelin but about ... Read More

I picked up this book used and do buy it used. The book was ok of a read but like so many that read this book, you want to shout out, "GROW UP" especially Bonzo. And so many questions weren't answered, the Zeppelin family wanted to sue the band for using the name, well they met with the old lady, what happened then?? What did Peter Grant do after Zeppelin and how did he feel about all the drug abuse, did he know did he care? They take these girls to another city with out their parents knowing, well you got them ... Read More

Having not read other Zep bios and tell-alls, I found this, by their ex-roadie, certainly interesting. Hard to believe it all happened so long ago, and these ex-gods are all now in their 60s. Sordid tales of teen groupies, drugs and, especially, booze. Bonham, who obviously died of booze, comes off the dumbest and most depraved. Page is painted as the band's brains, while Plant is said to have been arrogant and difficult and Jones the most normal. The author lived like one of the band during its heyday, seeing the ...
