A perfect blend of musicians that can't be manufactured. Jimmy knew he wanted Bonham because of the possibility of catching fire. The chemistry was one of the best of any band that won't be duplicated in this era of music and probably never will again.
There music is a place in my youth as well as my old age today, there’s no way to duplicate there music it was and always will be a very special magical time in R&R history. I sure do miss those days.❤️☮️
So true. I believed he was one of the 3 masters of percussion. When asked himself in Seattle by rolling stone, he said he'd "like to play more like that canadian fellow Neil"
A sound that’ll never be recreated. The back bone of the group. Exactly why the group didn’t continue on, they love him beyond the music that wouldn’t move forward. A true legend!
Even though I don't fall into that greatest whatever trap when talking about musicians. I cannot imagine rock music without John Bonham. His influence is unending.
I saw zeppelin at knebworth in 79 (both weekends) it was their last UK appearance. Looking back at footage years later I must say that John was an awesome performer. Many of today's great drummers will confirm that.
In my youth I saw some monster rock groups. Though I did see Robert Plant tour solo with Phil Collins on drums, my biggest regret is never experiencing Zeppelin live. Thanks for sharing that memory.
Living 10 miles down the road from Knebworth it was hard not to say no. Tickets were easily obtained back in the day. I recall hundreds arriving the night before and the early hours. There was some confusion on the first weekend. A fence was broken through and people ran across fields to gain access to the main area. I reckon the organisers let people in early for safety reasons. Memorable times I'll keep forever. Even though they came on late Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood turned up with their band the New Barbarians. 👍
@@johneasler9967oh you saw them live yourself? Sure, you listed off good bands, but give credit to LZ. You are just spewing nonsense from that damn mouth. You don’t know a damn thing.
IN MY OPINION "THE GREATEST ROCK DRUMMER OF ALL TIME" THE REST CAN FIGHT FOR SECOND & THIRD PLACE BUT NOT MANY FOLLOW BEHIND FOR BEING REALLY GOOD TOO 💚 REST.IN.PARADISE. BONZO
Forever missed. Forever the penultimate combination of power and finesse Le Béte, Bonzo, John Henry Bonham. One half of the inspiration for Animal on The Muppets. (Moon) Musician & composer. Irreplaceable. Father & devoted husband. "Simply, The Best" - Tina Turner
His synchronised hits and also off beat in a different time signature actually were mesmerising and most drummers will just say wow Bonzo gone too soon RIP 😢
I saw Zeppelin 3x live, and still have all 3 ticket stubs!!!!!! One says-- Obstructed View, which was behind a beam in the Chicago Stadium in 1975-- I didnt stay in that seat very long!!! It's among the many dozens of other concert stubs from shows in my collection---
I also saw them in 1977 at the Chicago Stadium one of the 4 nights they played there during their tour-- My older brother saw them during their original debut tour at the Kinetic Playground, Chicago in 1969-----
Actually, only condition Robert's asked to accept to be part of the band after his casting was his childhood friend, John, must make part of the band too.
I’m 62 and listening to zeppelin while riding my Harley’s is my favorite pass time.. Or Aerosmith, and others.. but the drums is what got me started in the 1960’s
Bonham contributed more to Zeppelin than just his playing, Bonham was also responsible for bringing along a friend whom Jimmy wasn't familiar with--at Bonham's word. Young kid by the name of Robert Plant.
Yes he was one of the best I've ever seen. I remember he said in an interview in the early 70s said he thought that the best drummer he has ever seen was Dino from the Rascals.
He received a call in 1968 that would change his life forever, turns out it changed ours as well! I cant imagine my life without Led Zeppelin and i cant imagine Led Zeppelin without Bonzo, the greatest rock drummer of them all!
In 1980 I was 11 years old. My older brothers helped shape my musical interest and Led Zeppelin was definitely one of my favorites. Even at 11 years old I know and understand the impact of John Bonham’s death on Led Zeppelin as a band and what it meant on the remaining members creating new music.
There are many greatest rock drummers, what they are is unique. Paice, Peart, Bonham, Powell, Ward, Palmer, Baker. Seen 'em all and they're are all amazing. P.s. Ian Paice is still drumming at 75 and not spoke about enough
His beats, still to this day are not easy by any means, I just started adding to my warm-up Immigrant Song & Kashmir...and playing those makes you feel like a rock star...
But Bonzo also played with James quite a lot. That's a part of what made him so special. Not a lot of drummers play with the guitar, especially lead guitar. Bonzo did. Like Keith Moon said during a Led Zeppelin concert 6-23-77 LA, "John Bonham, the Greatest fkn Drummer in the World". LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
I kinda sorta named my second son with Henry as his middle name because of, well John Henry Bonham. And I liked the feel. My boy got his first name from me because that was his mother's choice, but we all called him Henry from the beginning
I’ve commented on several other videos where Led Zeppelin was the subject including James Moher channel in his cover of communication breakdown that John Bonham was the beast before the term was even coined in this time line.
@@fordism.01 Neil was Great, but in different ways, some say he overplayed, not sure about that. What I can say is that he nor anyone else had the feet of John Henry Bonham, that along with his amazing left hand, sets him above everyone else...listen to live zeppelin and tell me that you don't find yourself saying now thats definitely a double base setup.....well it weren't....
@@kensalazar5066 Ian pace from Purple often gets overlooked too. Neil Piert was miles ahead of Bonham. Different league far more technical ability than Bonham. So did Ian Pace . From deep purple. Even though I am a huge zeppelin fan I have to say as I see it .
@@fordism.01 i love those guys, but weren't better imo...the thing that made Neil more technical was his giant kit, had every possible option, so he performed with more tools, it was his thing, dosen't necessarily make him better. John played with a smaller kit and you wouldn't have known it without seeing it. I stand by my earlier statement, and so do many others
Neil Peart is also very high on this list. I also enjoyed Ron Bushy from Iron Butterfly. It would be difficult to say which one I liked more. All had their own style.
Give me The Argument as to why he was "The Best Drummer in The World!"--which I think is Ludicrous. Neil Peart isn't even The Best--so how could Bonham be??? I would say that his contemporary, Ian Paice of Deep Purple, 🟣💜 was a better Drummer than Bonham...
@@kevio6868 Peart was Definitely better than Bonham--and I think that Ian Paice was Far Superior to Bonham, as well... I would compare the "Machine Head", "Made in Japan", "Burn", and "Made in Europe" albums of Paice to any of Bonham's playing... I'm Not a Drummer. But, from listening to Ian Paice for just a few minutes on one of his many videos, he is Obviously a Formally Educated Drummer--he was telling his "beginning drummer audience members" the importance of learning The Rudiments: "paradiddles and flammadiddles", etc. Ian told them that it was one thing to just have some fun banging around on a set of drums with some friends--but quite another if you actually wanted to play advanced drumming, which requires dedication, discipline, and study! Excellent Advice, Ian Paice!
@@bluewater3783Bill Ward blows Peart and Bonham out of the water in my opinion Look at how small and rudimentary his kit was, he sounded twice as big as Peart with 1/10th the size of drum-set lol
They should have continued on. When Charlie Watts died his death didn’t stop The Rolling Stones from touring. Life goes on. Led Zeppelin’s disbandment was a terrible disservice to their legions of fans. It was a double tragedy.
What they didn't say was, Page had seen Robert Plant singing and called John Paul Jones to go see Plant singing with his band (Band of Joy) that included John Bonham on drums. Page wanted Plant to sing with them, but Plant said he would do it, only if his friend John Bonham could come along. They did need a drummer, so, from there, it's history.
💢Their LOYAL Manager PETER GRANT was as BIG A FORCE as EACH of the BAND members in his own right also …. He navigated them against the entire industry RITE TO THE TOP ‼️ He & his right hand man R. Cole HAD what it took to HANDLE these 4 & LOVED these 4 (2 were still quite young) thru uncharted waters ! It took ALL 6 of them & THEY RULED THE WORLD
One of the best is what you should be saying? But as far as your concerned, Yes !Alot of GREAT drummers out their ! Alot never got noticed by Jim Page?
Everything i ever read said that Peter Grant telegraphed him 40 times, and he ignored them all. Ive never heard that Page just rang him up and that was that.
So Plant was his friend and recommended him to Page. They actually went to see him play, where Page was blown away..John had promised his wife that he wouldn't run off with Plant anymore because, according to her it always led to no good...So initially Page and Grant called several times with no luck. So eventually Grant would send telegraphs, a common way of communicating in England then...I believe that eventually Plant and Page showed up at his house and convinced him to come aboard...after the 1st session which started off at Pages house, " Train Kept a Rollin" "they were all in shock on how good they sounded " john Paul Jones....
The music that Led Zeppelin recorded and released between 1969 and 1979 can never be duplicated. Their music will forever be timeless.
At least the ones they didnt steal.

Fool in the Rain, Bonham is completely locked in. one of my favorite drum songs, from any band.
Great track!
I agree it’s a great track but it’s not that difficult to play
@@basher5107 no it is not, just “ghost noting” the snare. Never the less, Bonhams percussion work on the break is badass.
Yeah I always remember Bonham a lot is because of that track myself! Too each their own in taste. Cheers 🥂🍾🎉

The power and groove is epic.
Being a classically trained musician from a young age I was completely mesmerized when their music first hit the air waves.

Many world class drummers cite him as a MAJOR influence. I’m not world class but yeah, me too! ❤❤❤
Him and Moon are why I started playing. Other influences in there as well, but they were the main 2 at the time.

Best drummer ever
A Legendary drummer yet a humble and down to earth chap.
To not remark on the genius percussion that is Fool in the Rain is nearly criminal.
That what I thought immediately as well!!!
I remember when it was posted he died, I was 15 at the time and just got heavily into rock music. And Zeppelin was my favorite at the time.
And respect to Zep for never playing again. Difficult but correct decision.
