Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis is a notorious biographical account of the rock band Led Zeppelin and their tumultuous era. Bill Burr discussed the book on the Monday Morning Podcast in September 2019 while talking about the band staying at the Rock and Roll Hilton, using the discussion to correct a specific detail from the text regarding whether a band member actually yelled that he was a golden god. Burr had previously referenced the biography on a July 2019 episode while talking about Robert Plant and broader rock music history.
