About this listen

The gold-standard biography of the band Led Zeppelin—revised and updated with new material for fans of the band and this beloved rock classic.

“One of the most notorious rock biographies ever written.” —Chicago Tribune

The members of Led Zeppelin are major deities in the pantheon of rock gods. The first and heaviest of the heavy metal monsters, they violently shook the foundations of rock music and took no prisoners on the road. Their tours were legendary, their lives were exalted, and their music transcendent. No band ever flew as high as Led Zeppelin or suffered so disastrous a fall. And only some of them lived to tell the tale.

Originally published in 1985, and last updated in 2008, Hammer of the Gods is considered the ultimate word on Led Zeppelin, and a definitive rock and roll classic that captures the first heavy metal monsters in all their excessive glory. With new material from bestselling biographer Stephen Davis this edition includes the story of their legendary one-night-only reunion in 2007 and the post-Zeppelin work of each member, especially Robert Plant’s Grammy-winning collaborations with Alison Krauss. An up-to-date discography brings this New York Times bestseller fully to the present, and will captivate a new generation of music fans, Zeppelin fans, and readers.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Saga Is the Right Word!

A Led Zeppelin fan for 45 years (and not stereotypical), I’ve enjoyed rediscovering their music recently, and this book brings it all home. More profound character arcs than you’ll find in any novel, the author pulls no punches with respect to the more sordid aspects of the band’s (& individuals’) history, but overall this is pure homage to a handful of incredibly talented—and versatile—musicians. I confess, it left me a bit teary-eyed.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
