    • Джим Моррисон - певец, философ, поэт, возмутитель спокойствия - в этой книге представлен во всей своей сложности, как одержимый приверженец тьмы, который отвергал авторитеты и испытывал "границы реальности, чтобы посмотреть, что произойдет". Джим Моррисон был солистом "Doors", одной из самых популярных и неоднозначных рок-групп конца шестидесятых. Его боготворили фанаты, ненавидели власти, преследовали журналисты. Моррисон олицетворял непредсказуемый и запретный образ жизни, о котором мечтала молодежь. Книга "Никто из нас не выйдет отсюда живым" отделяет факты от домыслов о жизни и загадочной смерти Джима в Париже в 1971 году, скрупулезно описывая легендарную личность, которую одновременно восхваляли как поэта контркультуры и поносили как развратителя молодежи.

      In this unconventional chronicle of the band, Sugerman uses precedents in literature and philosophy to draw parallels between Axl Rose and Rimbaud and traces the roots of rebellion all the way to Shelley, Nietzsche, and Byron.

    • If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that out-sold the Rolling Stones and made Robert Johnson's deals with the devil look like a playground game of conkers were as high, inflated and glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis's scorching account of their phenomenally successful career, no aspect - however disquieting - is ignored. The infamous encounters with willing groupies in hotel bedrooms, the narcotic, alcoholic and psychotic wreckage they wreaked, the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page and the death of John Bonham are all recorded. Above all, the exultant, blazing charge of their music and its effects on Led Zeppelin and their fans is scrutinized. Hammer of the Gods is a fierce and fearless story about a band that remain a legend of musical, sexual and mystical power. It is the last word in rock 'n' roll savagery. 'The biggest surprise success of the year . . . the Led Zep tale, drenched in sex, drugs and psychic abuse, demonstrated the validity of all the old adages about talent, power and corruption. Stephen Davis's grimy homage to imperial excesss and demonic influence had fans slavering for more' Rolling Stone
