Histoire
As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next 10 years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa.

Histoire
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

In 1984, at the age of 20, Duff McKagan left his native Seattle - partly to pursue music, but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then-decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In LA only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as "Slash." Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns N' Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide.

Histoire
Until the mass hysteria of the seventeenth century, accusations of witchcraft in England were rare. However, four royal women, related in family and in court ties - Joan of Navarre, Eleanor Cobham, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, and Elizabeth Woodville - were accused of practicing witchcraft in order to kill or influence the king. In Royal Witches, Gemma Hollman explores the lives and the cases of these so-called witches, placing them in the historical context of 15th-century England, a setting rife with political upheaval and war.

On May 5, 1981, three rebellious members of New York's Bonanno crime family were gunned down in a Brooklyn social club. One of the gunmen was Vito Rizzuto, a man who would rise to the top of the underworld in Canada and then expand his reign across continents to become a global superboss. The Sixth Family, now revised and updated, reveals the hidden history of the rise of the Rizzuto clan, the alliances it forged around the world, and the bloody events that led to charges against Vito Rizzuto in the United States and Italy for racketeering and corruption.

Histoire
It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

Description
Wall also recounts, in a series of flashbacks, the life stories of the five individuals that made the dream a reality: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and their infamous manager, Peter Grant.
Finally, the full, shocking story is told from the inside.
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!
