Over ten years after WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH, Mick Wall's seminal biography of the band, comes this major and extensively researched revision, which provides an unflinching look at life inside one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time, and presents the definitive, final word on Led Zeppelin.

They were 'the last great band of the sixties; the first great band of the seventies'; they rose, somewhat unpromisingly, from the ashes of the Yardbirds to become one of the biggest-selling rock bands of all time. Mick Wall, respected rock writer and former confidant of both Page and Plant, unflinchingly tells the story of the band that wrote the rulebook for on-the-road excess - and eventually paid the price for it, with disaster, drug addiction and death.

WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH reveals for the first time the true extent of band leader Jimmy Page's longstanding interest in the occult, and goes behind the scenes to expose the truth behind their much-hyped yet spectacularly contrived comeback at London's O2 arena in 2007, and how Jimmy Page plans to bring the band back permanently - if only his former protege, now part-time nemesis, Robert Plant will allow him to. Wall also recounts, in a series of flashbacks, the life stories of the five individuals that made the dream of Led Zeppelin into an even more incredible and hard-to-swallow reality: Page, Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and their infamous manager, Peter Grant.

Very heavy and thick
Style: 30 sqft
I purchased mini brands of sound ending and this is by far the heaviest sound deadening I've ever ordered. I'm not installed yet but I have a good feeling that is going to work exceptionally in blocking sound. If weight is a concern for you I would recommend a lighter product however if sound quality and a quiet ride is your priority this is the one for you.

Siless Hybrid 3-in-1 - Far Exceeded my Expectations!!!
Model: SLH20025
I recently installed the Siless Hybrid 3-in-1 sound deadening mat in my vehicle, and I’m genuinely impressed. For just $80 for 25 square feet, this product delivers performance that rivals materials costing twice as much — and with far less hassle. If you're on the fence......Just buy it! You will not be disappointed. Easy to Install: Unlike traditional sound deadening products that are stiff, sharp, and temperature-sensitive, this mat is soft, flexible, and easy to work with. I cut it cleanly with regular scissors and pressed it into tight spaces using just my fingers, so if in you don't have a roller or install tool, a good pair of scissors and your hands can get the job done. With other brands like Dynamat, the aluminum layer often leaves micro cuts on your hands and tears up your fingertips, but Siless does not due the acoustic layer being on top and above the aluminum layer that holds the butyl layer. So, it's very easy on your hands. Even in cooler temperatures (around 50°F), I had no trouble applying it but it goes on better heated. If warm outside, I would leave the entire box out in the sun for at least 30 minutes when it's warm or heats it's very pliable and easy to mold. Make sure its where you want it because once applied it's not ever falling off. and it became even more pliable and easy to mold. No heat gun, no mess — just straightforward application. I installed 40–50 square feet throughout the interior, covering everything except the headliner and the flooring forward of the rear seat. The difference in cabin noise is astonishing. I can turn my radio up concert loud with gut-punching bass, and from outside the car, it sounds like a factory sound system at mid volume. I was blown away by how well it contains sound — both inside out and outside in. My exhaust is pretty aggressive and now is barely audible from inside the cabin. While driving, it almost sounds like a stock factory setup. The Siless matting actually changed the driving experience and feels refined. If you're skeptical about sound deadening gimmicks, I get it, but this is the first product I've used and when I needed more, I went Stright to the 3 in 1 Hybrid matting and purchased it again. I love researching before buying and that's very uncommon for me to do. Note: Proper installation is key, and it does take time and patience. But if installed correctly and in the right places, it works better previously used from paint-on sound deadening to Dynamat. Update Nov, 2025 After using it this in 4 separate vehicles now. I feel the Siless’s 3 in 1 Hybrid has nailed it for best budget deadener that is better than dynamat extreme in performance and installation Protip: buy a roll of 2-3” aluminum tape and tape the seams. After trimming the edges tend to very sticky between the panels. I ran a strip of aluminum tape over the seems to create a better seal and true moisture I used it on four vehicles now and have I have not been paid to review and purchased every order myself. 3 in 1 Hybrid deadener by Siless is the best all around easy to apply sound deadner period!

Top quality
Model: SLH20025
This Siless Hybrid 3-in-1 sound deadening mat is easy to work with and feels high-quality. The butyl material is thick and pliable, making it simple to cut and fit into doors, floors, or panels. After installation, road noise and vibrations are noticeably reduced, and it also seems to improve the overall cabin feel. No bad smell. At 25 sq ft per roll, it’s a good value for anyone looking to dampen noise and improve car acoustics. Overall, a solid, effective option for automotive soundproofing. Used on a Fiesta ST.

Made a big improvement in cabin noise—highly recommend
Model: SLH20025
Siless Hybrid made a huge difference in reducing noise in the floor of my truck cabin. In some areas, there was basically just bare sheet metal between the inside and outside, so adding this really helped the truck feel more solid and noticeably quieter on the road. I used Kilmat on the doors, and honestly I wish I had used Siless Hybrid there too, but it was too late by the time I realized the difference. This material is very sticky, easy to cut, and simple to apply, which made the install pretty smooth. Just a heads-up: the tacky side gets messy and will bond to clothing really easily, so be careful during installation. Overall, I’d definitely buy it again—great product with real results.
