Let's just say it: John Bonham was a fucking asshole. Stories about Led Zeppelin as human beings are rarely flattering and this book contains many unflattering anecdotes while feeling like it barely scratches the surface. A great reminder to separate Art from Artist.
First read when it came out in '92. Back for more raunch. Should be subtitled The Misadventures of Bonzo. What a tiresome guy.
The story of the greatest band in history told by a man that was there. Explaining all the stories, the private jet, being kicked out of china, shark fishing, prostertutes and the octopus, drugs, booze, summoning demons but most importantly the music!
