I recently finished reading Beast: John Bonham and the Rise of Led Zeppelin. Look, it’s not great. Don’t rush to read it – but as is so often the case with a music bio, I loved the journey it helped to facilitate. My criticism of the book is that there’s not enough of interest in the early life of the drummer to warrant a full biography in this way; the analysis of his playing and contributions isn’t quite strong enough to redeem it either. So, we’re left, ultimately, with yet another retelling of the Zeppelin timeline. And there’s enough of that out there already.
