TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT: THE POWER AND EXCESS OF LED ZEPPELIN: AN ORAL BIOGRAPHY OF THE WORLD’S MIGHTIEST ROCK ’N’ ROLL BAND

Book ID/图书代码： 04560011B50367

English Summary/英文概要： ’It’s an old story, you might say, but one rarely told on such a scale of success or excess. For the better part of a decade, Led Zeppelin was the greatest group on the planet...’

From Barney Hoskyns, founder of Rock’s Back Pages, and author of Hotel California and Lowside of the Road, his acclaimed life of Tom Waits, Trampled Underfoot is the essential music book for 2012.

A unique look at the history, adventures, myths and realities of this most legendary and powerful of bands, it is a labour of love based on hours of first hand and original interviews. What emerges is a compelling portrait of the four musicians themselves, as well as a fresh insight into the close-knight entourage that protected them, from Peter Grant to Richard Cole to Ahmet Ertegun, giant figures from the long vanished world of 1970s rock.

Featuring many rare and never before seen photographs, it is also the first book on Led Zeppelin to include such recent events as their triumphant 2007 O2 Arena gig and Robert Plant’s Grammy winning resurgence of recent years.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “你或许会说它是个久远的神话，但几乎十年里，齐柏林飞艇乐队依旧是地球上最优秀的乐队，鲜有乐队能够取得它的成就，更别提超越它……”

邦尼•霍斯金，Rock’s Back Pages的创建者，著有《加州旅馆》和《道路的低处》，后者主要讲述作者所颂扬的汤姆•维兹的生平，现其新作《踏于脚下》是2012年举足轻重的音乐书籍。

关于这个最具传奇色彩，影响深远的乐队的历史、惊险、传奇及真实状况本书有着独一无二的见解。出于对这个乐队的喜爱，作者花费多时收集有关它的第一手资料和最初的访谈。书中四位音乐家本身的形象令人注目，与此同时，作者还对紧密跟随他们保护他们的保镖—彼得•格兰特、理查德•科尔和艾特根•厄图古恩，这些来自那个早已消失匿尽的二十世纪七十年代的摇滚时期的巨型家伙也做了独具匠心的分析。

本书不仅以附有鲜见或从未面的相片为特色，它也是第一本讲述齐柏林飞艇乐队最新活动的书籍，例如他们2007年O2舞台演唱的成功和罗伯特•普兰特获得了格莱美大奖，活力回显。(XMM)

Awards/获奖情况：’Hoskyns artfully weaves together the candid reminiscences of a multitude of voices – group members, former roadies, employees, battle-scarred eyewitnesses, friends and foes alike – in order to tell the illustrious quartet’s epic saga in a way that shines a penetrating new light on the personalities and circumstances that shaped its tumultuous history.’ Nick Kent, author of The Dark Stuff

’This is the proper book Zeppelin have always deserved.’ Nick Coleman, author of The Train in the Night

’Every time I think I know everything about Led Zeppelin, a book like this comes along and reminds me that I know nothing. Consider this oral history the literary equivalent of Coda – the final details on a career where even the arcane missteps were endlessly interesting.’ Chuck Klosterman, author of Killing Yourself to Live ’The saga of Led Zeppelin told by those who knew them when, this intimate oral history goes beyond scandal to reveal the all-too-humans behind this most Promethean of rock bands, illuminating their expansive body of work and the times in which they exemplified the very essence of rock stardom.’ Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group)

’When the lore is as large as the records the best strategy is to let the madness and music speak its own voice. Barney Hoskyns is rock’s poet of observation, a journalist with a very valuable gift for separating the nugget from the slag. Trampled Under Foot is a complex tale that makes sense of the senseless, weighing artistic triumph against human tragedy.’ Fred Goodman, author of The Mansion on the Hill
