Led Zeppelin Author Denny Somach Updated “Get the Led Out” — New Stories & Controversies
Renowned rock historian, producer, DJ,
and author Denny Somach joins Metal Mayhem ROC to explore the newly
updated 2025 edition of his classic book Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin
Became the Biggest Band in the World, originally released in 2012.
Denny recounts Zeppelin’s journey from The
New Yardbirds to worldwide domination, shares never-before-told stories
from his decades in radio, and reveals how his infamous Howard Stern Show
appearance reignited the “Stairway to Heaven” song-theft controversy.
He discusses the Black Sabbath–Led
Zeppelin jam rumor, the inside details of the Stairway lawsuit, and
hints at unreleased Zeppelin live recordings that might finally see daylight.
Somach also teases his latest project, Rock and Roll for Grown-Ups, and
reflects on 50 years of chronicling rock history.
