No wonder the other band members would always end up gathered in front of Bonham's kit while performing. Bonham was where the magic happened. He is and always will be the master of GROOVE.
Saw them in Knebworth , 2nd week in 1979! I was 14 and was took there in protest by my older brother and cousin. We hitched down and slept over night in a girls school garden (not knowing it) next morning hitched and got to Knebworth. Low and behold; it was like the set from a Cecil B. dmile film! thousands upon thousands of people everywhere. We got into the main grounds as that didn't require a ticket! We didn't have tickets.. Later on after being fed by a group of born again Christians and also experiencing Chas & Dave for the first time, we met Ron, he was Peter Grants' Chauffeur! He was great, he got us not only tickets but the bands autographs too. Later on I was to experience Led Zep in full effect and John Bonham for the first time! Well, I'm 50 now and have been a successful session drummer for that long because of that drum solo. Thanks John, I owe you big time. A massive life changing inspiration.
Good stuff Pete, makes it even more special for me that I was there. But pissed off this week end as Foo Fighters cancelled Wembley and I had VIP box and all the trimmings.
I love the sympathetic vibration on the snare drum wires at the start. I doubt a modern engineer would do that today, but I think this adds character to the music.
Paweł Morrison It was fairly common in the 60's to hear a lot of extraneous noises in recordings, especially coming off a drum kit. Part of the reason, I surmise, is that rock bands were much louder than in the 50's, and isolating drum sets was still tricky business. Most modern music has none of these "problems" today because isolation booths are far better, much of the work is done in multi-track layers anyway (drums recorded totally separate), and digital noise gating eliminates much of it. I don't mind "clean" recordings per se, but you often lose a lot of feel in some types of music when musicians aren't playing together in real-time. Paul Simon's engineers had a real challenge on their hands when recording the "Graceland" album. African musicians feed off of each other, so they had to find a way to record them in the same room while providing enough separation to mix the album properly. If you've ever heard a hi-def recording of this album, you'd know how fantastic the job was done.
***** Can you tell me which songs? I know I could hear Keith Richards press down on the guitar pedal switch during "Satisfaction" (from "clean" to distortion).
Though Jazz music played its part in influencing John Bonham's drumming style, Motown, Soul & R&B had as much of an influence as Jazz music did. John Paul Jones stated that in many interviews he did when asked about Bonzo's influences.He'd say that when they were on tour all they would listen to was Motown music. Anyone that has any sense or knowledge about music can hear the mojo & swing in his drumming. Love it!! :)
the feel, the feel. Man, I could listen to this for another hundred times. So damn funky and rock at the same time. How did he do it. The huge sound of each drum.
Exactly. The reason most modern day rock drummers can't groove like Bonham is they lack that jazz background. Bonham was a true student of his craft. If you listen to Art Blakey, Gene Krupa,Cozy Cole, Rufus Jones, Louis Bellson, Joe Morello, and especially Sam Woodyard and Sonny Payne, you can hear so many things that John took from them. He was able to translate all of this into rock, using ghost notes, power, and inserting a funky/jazzy backbeat to sound better than your average rock drummer
Of course...that's my point. He can create the most solid groove even with minimun snare, which normally has the backbeat. A more conventional drummer would play two snare beats per bar (2 an 4), a totally cliched pattern. He does not. He uses the kick and hi hat creatively, and comes up with a totally original beat and a signature sound for that song that anyone could recognize without the rest of the arrangement.
Wow !!!! It didn't know Bonzo was grunting and growling in the early days as well ! I love that - keeping the passion and feeling going...pysching yourself up for the next fill and feeling it bigtime ! Go Bonzo Go !!!!
Ya bud!!! Bonham will always be my favorite...All of them, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.....Pure perfection...I was turned onto Zeppelin when I was 11 years old... I flipped out when I heard them for the first time, it was freaking AWESOME!!! I took my sisters bow to her violin and used it on my guitar. The bow was not a cheap one I found out, freaking really expensive...I did not mess it up thank God, but did a good job actually with it....
Too damn incredible. Probably has been noted - didn't realize he was in there on "vocals" at :39. The fact that he's doing this at like age 21 is beyond comprehension.
You can hear so much more going on with the isolated track. The ghost notes are prominent and you can't hear them on the record. Incredible swing and pocket.
THANK YOU! This is exactly why Bonham and Hendrix were the best at their instruments. They put so much emotion into their playing while some songs may have sounded simple, there is so much depth to it that most people do not see
Yep, now that they have released those isolated tracks, you can really hear the detail that Bonham put into his playing. There is def a jazz feel to his playing that doesn't exist today with rock drummers. That was a good point
Beautiful to hear the whole ending never heard before because of the fade out! That's pure gold to me! A great groove that bonzo had his whole career! Awesome.
He's famous for his power, sound, FEEL. No one can play his drum parts and make it sound as good as he did, even if you tried. He most definitely wasn't the most technical drummer, but he did simple, great sounding things that make you say "Why didn't i think of that?"
What a groove and drum sound, this is how drums should sound like in recordings, not quantized or sampled in a rock band, but live and raw with that bit of ring to fill out the sound nicely.
Power, other worldly, the rythem changes are so hard!, nice to hear the other takes and the vocal power is really right up there with it... power. Just putting the hammer down!
He was the hardest hitting drummer i have ever heard.......his drums danced to the song with a cocky swagger............sorta jungle like......................primative if you will......best rock drummer ever.............
Read a story that a studio engineer in the early days told Bonham he was too loud and un-recordable, he should choose another career. When Zep's 1st album went platinum Bonham sent him an autographed copy that said thanks for the advice. :)
OMG!!!! That is SICK!!! It's great to hear him grunting and really feeling it every time he does one of these legendary fills!! Wow, this makes me want to set up in my apt. and play right now until I get kicked out!! Ha ha! Thanks for this incredible upload!!! Bonham is king!!!
PutItAway101 ~ If you really break alot of Zeppelin songs down, they are really Jones and Bonham songs. Page almost plays rhythm guitar on many songs. These guys were more ways badass than you can count.
Hey, you hear the band actually come to a finish at the end of the tune rather than the fadeout on the album! COOL Love to hear the whole thing start to finish so I could hear what Jimmy was doing too.
Awesome drummer...he reminds me of "animal" of the Muppets. Maybe "animal" was created to mimic John Bonham. John was an animal on those drums..so sad he left us so soon..he is definitely missed.
this is so amazingly beautiful, all live recordings, such raw sounds, just hearing the sounds of the guitar and bass rattling the snare springs and the little ghost notes bonzo ads in to give the drums life sends shivers down my spine, this is the reason i pursued a career in recording
John did not only invent a new big Rock drum sound he also invented rock grooves and big back beat ( playing behind the beat ) which gives such a huge pocket. And he was playing like this in 1967.
I just watched a documentary on Keith Moon. It's very sad that these guys left the planet because they abused drugs and alcohol. Fuck....what a sad ending to greatness. What a tremendous loss.
I started playing in rock bands around 74 - and all the various drummers I played with ALL said that Bonham was something really, truly special. It has taken until my 40s and 50s to really understand what they meant. It isn't anything tangible - it's how when he played, it transcended keeping time and became so amazingly musical. It's primal, it's just sheer animal musicality. What an amazing drummer. Thank God we had him as long as we did. I can actually listen to his isolated tracks all the way through, because it just grooves so frickin' awesome.
I know exactly what you mean I find myself listening to Bonham more than ever.... he was an incredible drummer.He's the reason I switched from Zildjian to Paiste cymbals.
+Robert Sattler I'm so influenced by Bonham, I scream like that now doing daily activities like washing dishes or taking out the trash. Scares the hell out of the wife though.
Awesome. You can hear that he actually uses the edges of his cymbals during the psychedelic portion of the song. I'm pretty sure of this. I never caught that before and always thought he was using the bell of his ride cymbal.
yet another piece of evidence that he listened to jazz. His whole sense of rhythm, timing and use of space is very much like jazz greats just before his time, like Art Blakey and Max Roach.
Being a drummer that's kind of what all music sounds like to me. I.e. I only hear the drums! This genuinely does reveal some cool little (for drummers only..) extra nuggets. Art Blakey made some similar sounds I always thought -or the other way around... Ace.
brilliant drumming. damn good engineering too considering the date and equipment. works for me, and i embrace and own all the newest goodies too - but no denying the magic here. it's all about making and capturing magical moments in musical performance...
The people that gave this the thumbs down.could be suffering from a known medical condition..called congenital Amusia! Its Just a theory. i am not a trained medical professional..just a huge john bonham fan..
QUE SOM DE BATERIA,QUE GROOVE,OBRIGADO MESTRE! E A QUEM POSTOU TAMBEM,É UM ALIVIO OUVIR UM SOM DE BATERA TOCADA COM FEELING;NO MEIO DE TANTA PORCARIA HOJE EM DIA!
That's from the microphones on the drums picking up what Page was playing live with Bonzo...it often happens in the studio but at low volumes that you don't hear in the final mix. Pretty cool :)
If you listen to cream's sunshine of your love you can hear ginger baker doing the same after the guitar solo hahaha. I can't find the isolated track but just listen to the right ear.
@@sethp1624 No vocal mic. Only 3 drum mics which also pick up the guitar amp in the next room. Primitive setup by todays standards. His voice is going thru those drum mics most definitely.
Almost sounds more like a chamber than a plate. And you can hear after the middle section, they kept the reverb send a little higher than it was in the beginning of the song. Little things like that which make analog tracks dynamic.
I agree but I think that the critical thing is that Bonham(whether or not he was the best player is arguable but he certainly was one of if maybe not the most influential player ever.) tried and did things that no other drummer before him even dreamed of. and THAT is what made and continues to make him a great icon in the drumming world.
In this song and many others you can hear Bonham's influence on so much of the music in the eighties and nineties. Chiefly the funk and groove oriented music like Hip hop and Rap. The rockers of the eighties never did get the swing of the early style rock' n' roll. Kids today need to listen to bebop, progressive jazz, rockabilly, bluegrass, blues, latin music and country music. Hell, they should probably just try and listen to everything. That's pretty much what's in this.
Bonham is one of four reasons why Led Zeppelin is the greatest band ever!
And on some nights 3 of 4
Peruanderthal BOHNAM is God on bass
just a pity he was a piss head
It is quite amazing that he was the most talented of the whole group.
Dr. Bombay nothing is special about them if u breakdown their talent as individuals.
No wonder the other band members would always end up gathered in front of Bonham's kit while performing. Bonham was where the magic happened. He is and always will be the master of GROOVE.

Well, I'm 50 now and have been a successful session drummer for that long because of that drum solo. Thanks John, I owe you big time. A massive life changing inspiration.
Like it was meant to be!
Good stuff Pete, makes it even more special for me that I was there. But pissed off this week end as Foo Fighters cancelled Wembley and I had VIP box and all the trimmings.
brian roe I was there too. I was 20. One of the best days of my life.
Great story,
brian roe Bonham didnt have a drum solo at Knewborth as far as I know dude. Cool story anyway!
I love how he has his kit tuned - what a drummer
Amen ❤
I was lucky enough to see him live in Winnipeg in 1970. What a monster!
John was always the perfectionist...the right stuff at the right time...always technically correct.
I love the sympathetic vibration on the snare drum wires at the start. I doubt a modern engineer would do that today, but I think this adds character to the music.
So its the snare wires! Ive always wondered what that was. It doesn`t really bother me in the song at all. Like you said, it just adds character

N. Miller You can hear that "sympathetic vibration on the snare drum" in Stones recordings as well. Love it!
***** Can you tell me which songs? I know I could hear Keith Richards press down on the guitar pedal switch during "Satisfaction" (from "clean" to distortion).
The whole thing is just bloody genius!
Bonhams timing was impeccable. John Paul Jones called him "a bass players dream".
Scot Morgan I didn't know that!
Damn that’s awesome
Way better than Carl Palmer I’ll say that. Much easier to play along to. 🦞
Right. You can hear him “swing” it a little. Real feel. Man. Music.
Though Jazz music played its part in influencing John Bonham's drumming style, Motown, Soul & R&B had as much of an influence as Jazz music did. John Paul Jones stated that in many interviews he did when asked about Bonzo's influences.He'd say that when they were on tour all they would listen to was Motown music. Anyone that has any sense or knowledge about music can hear the mojo & swing in his drumming. Love it!! :)
With this recording alone, one could safely say it's the best bass drum pedal of all time.
It's so heavy, you need a note from your parents to listen to it. :)
It all feels so connected and full of time when he plays it... It never does anything but relax inside its own power......
the feel, the feel. Man, I could listen to this for another hundred times. So damn funky and rock at the same time. How did he do it. The huge sound of each drum.

He was able to translate all of this into rock, using ghost notes, power, and inserting a funky/jazzy backbeat to sound better than your average rock drummer
I used to listen to my father's cozy cole record.
In the beginning when the guitar plays you hear his snare vibrating. Love it
Is that Bonham yelling at 3:45 in the track? IT'S SO AMAZING THAT THAT'S ALL IN THE FINAL TRACK!! Not "clean" just pure heavy and awesome.
Ben Michel yes it is if you listen to the original recording very carefully you can hear it
I guess You're right!
He once said he likes to yell like a bear when he plays, to give it extra power. Lmao sounds crazy but he’s the GOAT
Hell yes, what a beast.. The best to ever!
A drummer who can create such a groove playing only one hit of snare every bar is a genius.
Fer Abra There is a whole lot more than one snare drum beat per bar. Bonham's ghost note shuffles are what made his big beat groove.
Of course...that's my point. He can create the most solid groove even with minimun snare, which normally has the backbeat. A more conventional drummer would play two snare beats per bar (2 an 4), a totally cliched pattern. He does not. He uses the kick and hi hat creatively, and comes up with a totally original beat and a signature sound for that song that anyone could recognize without the rest of the arrangement.
Agreed, 100%
Wow !!!! It didn't know Bonzo was grunting and growling in the early days as well ! I love that - keeping the passion and feeling going...pysching yourself up for the next fill and feeling it bigtime ! Go Bonzo Go !!!!
the best rock drummer ever...thank god they left the noises in, just a peak into the inner workings and the true passion of the man...incredible
Ya bud!!! Bonham will always be my favorite...All of them, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.....Pure perfection...I was turned onto Zeppelin when I was 11 years old...

HEY FUCKING PAGE -- WE NEED ALL THESE ISOLATED TRACKS IN AN IMMERSION RELEASE FOR EACH FUCKING ALBUM --------!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU! This is exactly why Bonham and Hendrix were the best at their instruments. They put so much emotion into their playing while some songs may have sounded simple, there is so much depth to it that most people do not see
Yep, now that they have released those isolated tracks, you can really hear the detail that Bonham put into his playing. There is def a jazz feel to his playing that doesn't exist today with rock drummers. That was a good point
Bonzo was the Earthy glue that tethered all the mysticism and Magic of the group and held it together.
Beautiful to hear the whole ending never heard before because of the fade out! That's pure gold to me! A great groove that bonzo had his whole career! Awesome.
He's famous for his power, sound, FEEL. No one can play his drum parts and make it sound as good as he did, even if you tried. He most definitely wasn't the most technical drummer, but he did simple, great sounding things that make you say "Why didn't i think of that?"
Heard this song dozens of times, and never given much thought to how much groove was in this patten
3:40 that part is sick, simply the best drummer ever.
That feel...incredible.
The swing on this drum track is absolutely transcendent!
That's what I was thinking!!
I think he was the most gifted in zep! his drums are so good it hurts! check out in the time of my dying, fantastic drum work!
Bonham...technical genius...so clean and simple! A pro to be admired.
It is no accident these musicians fell together...perfection is only magic once!
What a groove and drum sound, this is how drums should sound like in recordings, not quantized or sampled in a rock band, but live and raw with that bit of ring to fill out the sound nicely.
Amazing hearing him screamng/grunting, go listen to the actual track and listen closely and it is all there, awesome!
That sound from the set and Bonham is wonderful and a delight to listen to. What a powerful drummer.
Power, other worldly, the rythem changes are so hard!, nice to hear the other takes and the vocal power is really right up there with it... power. Just putting the hammer down!
good lord... this is just climax... pure groove and energy, without surgery's of nowadays studio work... thank you...
Best Rock drummer ever! Listen to that thunder! Amazing quality for that time!!!
This is SO awesome!! I love that you can here Bonzo yelling.
Bonham and Moon are the best that ever played drums! May they rest in peace.
certainly the greatness of an artist is not measured by the speedometer or with the digital skills, but the overall result that counts
He was the hardest hitting drummer i have ever heard.......his drums danced to the song with a cocky swagger............sorta jungle like......................primative if you will......best rock drummer ever.............
Read a story that a studio engineer in the early days told Bonham he was too loud and un-recordable, he should choose another career. When Zep's 1st album went platinum Bonham sent him an autographed copy that said thanks for the advice. :)
drums were meant to be hit hard.........that's why they sell drum skins.................
Especially the size drums that Bonham played. He could play soft and dynamic but to get the big drums to have punch they need to be hit hard.
bill ward hit harder ;)
it was close but i think Bill had a mostly jazz background...they tend to hit lighter.....Mr. Ward is one of the greats......in my top 10.
OMG!!!! That is SICK!!! It's great to hear him grunting and really feeling it every time he does one of these legendary fills!! Wow, this makes me want to set up in my apt. and play right now until I get kicked out!! Ha ha! Thanks for this incredible upload!!! Bonham is king!!!
Based on what we hear at the end, it is now clear that Bonham taught Plant how to sing! Haha! Sooo awesome to be able to hear these tracks.
So good. You can see how much of the song is about the drums.
PutItAway101 ~ If you really break alot of Zeppelin songs down, they are really Jones and Bonham songs. Page almost plays rhythm guitar on many songs. These guys were more ways badass than you can count.
Hey, you hear the band actually come to a finish at the end of the tune rather than the fadeout on the album! COOL Love to hear the whole thing start to finish so I could hear what Jimmy was doing too.
Lol! I love Bonzo, awesome to hear him screaming while he drums haha.
Awesome drummer...he reminds me of "animal" of the Muppets. Maybe "animal" was created to mimic John Bonham. John was an animal on those drums..so sad he left us so soon..he is definitely missed.
Unbelievable feel! The tone on his kit was amazing. The hollering on the rolls is straight up fukin rock n roll. The best ever. EPIC
this is so amazingly beautiful, all live recordings, such raw sounds, just hearing the sounds of the guitar and bass rattling the snare springs and the little ghost notes bonzo ads in to give the drums life sends shivers down my spine, this is the reason i pursued a career in recording
John did not only invent a new big Rock drum sound he also invented rock grooves and big back beat ( playing behind the beat ) which gives such a huge pocket. And he was playing like this in 1967.
THAT SOUND is awesome!!!!!!!!
n1c4m1 SO satisfying!
I just watched a documentary on Keith Moon. It's very sad that these guys left the planet because they abused drugs and alcohol. Fuck....what a sad ending to greatness. What a tremendous loss.
They were great drummers, Bonham and Moon. They left behind a legacy of music and drumming.
Thumbs up for Bonham roaring like a beast during his drum fills after Jimmy Pages solo :) What a drummer!
GOAT OF ALL GOATS. For those of you who don't understand this, Bonzo was more skillful and greater at his art than any other musician at his or hers!
He's the EVH of drumming, influenced a generation and beyond and still does.
AMAAAAAAZING groove! hear it alone feel link dancing!
You can actually hear the ending that wasn't on the record. Thank you for this!!!
I started playing in rock bands around 74 - and all the various drummers I played with ALL said that Bonham was something really, truly special.

Scott Loiselle He played the song... not just a drum part.
I know exactly what you mean I find myself listening to Bonham more than ever.... he was an incredible drummer.He's the reason I switched from Zildjian to Paiste cymbals.
Such swing and raw emotion. This is amazing.
As a professional union percussionist, this is very nice!
What an amazing drummer he was. Thanks for posting.
I love the way you can just hear Bonham "Yelling"while he's playing,it's certainly NOT overspill from the vocal tracks
+Mark Tate Animal was actually based off Keith Moon.
+Mark Tate No, Keith Moon. Common knowledge
+Robert Sattler I'm so influenced by Bonham, I scream like that now doing daily activities like washing dishes or taking out the trash. Scares the hell out of the wife though.
John sure made a lot of us try new things back then . RIP
Bonzo = hard beating + precision + groove + soul
Beautiful. Artwork. Pure velvet.
Great track! I love how you can hear Bonham scream around 3:50!
Man....just beautiful. Excellent. That's artwork.
Awesome. You can hear that he actually uses the edges of his cymbals during the psychedelic portion of the song. I'm pretty sure of this. I never caught that before and always thought he was using the bell of his ride cymbal.
You're correct. Hear him pressing down on the snare with one stick and hitting that stick with the other?
You can hear him grunting and hollaring too.
yet another piece of evidence that he listened to jazz. His whole sense of rhythm, timing and use of space is very much like jazz greats just before his time, like Art Blakey and Max Roach.
This kit sounds great. Nice room too...
The best drummer that ever lived
Dam it's like 5 rythms in one just on another planet he was the greatest ! :)
3:43 YES !
Let out the best of the beast.
Christ almighty, this is a pleasure to listen to. Whooo hooooo!!!!
Because they brought up the drum track so much, you can hear the snare rattling with the opening guitar riff! Cool!
Yeah, and his kit was so simple. It was even missing pieces that would come standard today, yet his awesome technique made it sound so huge.
Being a drummer that's kind of what all music sounds like to me. I.e. I only hear the drums! This genuinely does reveal some cool little (for drummers only..) extra nuggets. Art Blakey made some similar sounds I always thought -or the other way around... Ace.
my god, this is the good stuff.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
awesome miss the old times
5:06 best scream and fill combination
So cool to hear all the little subtleties that are covered up in the main mix! Hell yeah, John Henry Motherf****in' Bonham!
brilliant drumming. damn good engineering too considering the date and equipment. works for me, and i embrace and own all the newest goodies too - but no denying the magic here. it's all about making and capturing magical moments in musical performance...
What's up with the 24 thumbs down? How could you not love this
24 people evidently didn't get a whole lotta love :(
24 people with zero soul.
24 people who like to joke around......hahaha ok we get it...real funny......
Tone deaf idiots. Trolls that can fuck off!
The people that gave this the thumbs down.could be suffering from a known medical condition..called congenital Amusia! Its Just a theory. i am not a trained medical professional..just a huge john bonham fan..
QUE SOM DE BATERIA,QUE GROOVE,OBRIGADO MESTRE! E A QUEM POSTOU TAMBEM,É UM ALIVIO OUVIR UM SOM DE BATERA TOCADA COM FEELING;NO MEIO DE TANTA PORCARIA HOJE EM DIA!
The drum part on Whole Lotta Love is the reason I started learning drums. No words to describe the pure groove and sex Bonham and the band had
Fantastic drummer
Absolutely GREAT
That's from the microphones on the drums picking up what Page was playing live with Bonzo...it often happens in the studio but at low volumes that you don't hear in the final mix. Pretty cool :)
Totally . He was SO musical as well as everything else .
Also really cool to hear how Zep actually ended the take (post fade out)
Hahaha Right around 3:45 you can hear bonzo yelling as he rocks out!!
If you listen to cream's sunshine of your love you can hear ginger baker doing the same after the guitar solo hahaha. I can't find the isolated track but just listen to the right ear.
iJohnnyZac Awesosme will do!
Before Nicko did in Maiden
they should Isolate just his screaming
That would be funny
I wonder if his screaming was just picked up on his drum mics, or if he had a mic for vocals?
@@sethp1624 No vocal mic. Only 3 drum mics which also pick up the guitar amp in the next room. Primitive setup by todays standards. His voice is going thru those drum mics most definitely.
Almost sounds more like a chamber than a plate. And you can hear after the middle section, they kept the reverb send a little higher than it was in the beginning of the song. Little things like that which make analog tracks dynamic.
SIMPLESMENTE O MELHOR.

I agree but I think that the critical thing is that Bonham(whether or not he was the best player is arguable but he certainly was one of if maybe not the most influential player ever.) tried and did things that no other drummer before him even dreamed of. and THAT is what made and continues to make him a great icon in the drumming world.
ABSO FUCKING Luteley 100 % Led Zeppelin where the greatest Rock Band ever and John Henry Bonham is The Drummer of ALL Drummers
Whoever put this out here , great job!
wow this is the best way to learn how to play this song. just by hearing the drum track.
Notice how he starts the vocalizing when he changes up the beat and then throws a fill in- it sounds almost like a save,
Bonham had the feel and self metronome but never play on a click at all. After years of listening of his play style truly unique on his own form. :D
In this song and many others you can hear Bonham's influence on so much of the music in the eighties and nineties. Chiefly the funk and groove oriented music like Hip hop and Rap. The rockers of the eighties never did get the swing of the early style rock' n' roll.
