- Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi tells Artisan News that he was good friends with the late John Bonham, who as of today has been gone 32 years, and he recalled as per his book Iron Man, that the Led Zeppelin drummer was both good crazy and bad crazy - especially around motor vehicles.
John was Tony's best man at his wedding ceremony. The reception must have been a riot.
I think every day was a riot for these guys.
@@Audfile unfortunately I doubt they remember much lol
That's some interesting rock history.
Didn't know that!
Thanks
peaple never give bill ward the credit as a great drummer just listen to the wizard bloody hell man
u could tell he was gone from the last Sabbath album. something was missing
Totally agree. sometimes i listen to Sabbath songs just for the drums - and there are very few bands I can say that about.

And Ginger Baker?...

I saw Cozy play with Sabbath in 1990(it was the Tyr tour)and his drum solo was absolutely fantastic! You don't normally remember drum solo's,but,I remember his! Amazing sticks man!!! RIP...
Iommi is a great and humble man. He was one of the very few musicians who was secure & generous enough to go public with how great this new band (Zeppelin) was back when nearly everybody else was tight lipped & jealous as hell. He was a great friends with Bonham who was his best man at his wedding. Iommi's cancer treatment is going well!! Praying for him & RIP Bonzo...rock's greatest drummer.
Watching Bill Ward play the drums on that Paris concert, he is beating the living shit out of them, I can just imagine Bonzo breaking them. That's some crazy shit.
@Your Momma ....As if Bill Ward wasn't? What the fuck is your point? If you don't drink very often you are a great person? There are a lot of people in the world that prove THAT wrong every day!
@Your Momma... and you're a nasty human being, but John could sober up.
Tonni and John jamming would have been very heavy.
Bonhan- king of the hard rock groove drummers
Ward - king of the eclectic hard rock drummers
Would have been a sight to see them in the same room
Bonzo was best man at Tony's wedding.
bitter37 Bonzo, Ozzy,Tony,and Bill ! What a night out that would be!!! Add Keith Moon into the equation,and...😄😊😋😊😄😊😋
Bonzo has always been my favorite drummer, and Page my favorite guitarist. But I love Tony's riffs, and Ward has by far the best fills on drums. Ward is amazing!
Love you Tony Iommi. Love your book also.
Like he is going to look in ur comment
Jason Bonham tells a story about his dad getting angry at a Rolls Royce (I think) car salesman who clearly though JB couldn't afford one- so JB drove the model he wanted through the building and gave the guy a piece of his mind before he paid for everything!
Now that's trash for you. You get a bit of money and let it go to your head. No wonder he died so young. Reckless.
Yeah I guess that's one way of looking at a FUCKIN' GREAT ROCK N' ROLL STORY!!!
John Bonham was like a fucking walking tornado on booze and speed. But he was NEVER - by any definition - even remotely - 'trash'. You didn't know Bonham like I did. He was a good mate and he NEVER let his fame go to his head. Bonham did what he did because he was Bonham - not because he was rich or famous.
Look Man I am Sorry to hear about your brother but don't blame Bonzo. And you have no clue about the music of this band . Don't criticize what you don't know about.
+Anai Bendai Great to read your comments, as they reaffirmed my opinion of Bonzo: humble, down-to-earth, hated condescending people. My guess is when combined with John's famous/infamous temper, his emotions boiled over at the Rolls Royce salesman's condescending, presumptuous attitude, and he consequently drove the car straight out of the building LOL.
As great a drummer as he was, I remember watching an interview where the host suggested John was the greatest drummer, and it was very obvious when John immediately said "no" that he meant it. Not because he thought it would be good PR to say what he did, but because John's raucous, heavy drumming style belied a genuinely good, humble man.
Sadly, I think what largely contributed to John's death was he drank heavily because of ever-increasing misery, as he desperately missed not being home on the farm and spending time with his wife and family.
I love you Bonzo with all my heart!
Strange thing to say....you never knew him.
Tony Iommi is a class act!
On this day. Sept, 25, 1980 The world lost a legend. John Bonzo Bonham passed away at the age of 32. I thank you John on behalf of the millions of fans for all you have given us in your short life. R.I.P.
Bonzo will live forever ..
Bill Ward is a legend! why not take advantage of a legend that is still alive!!! BILL WARD IS THE MAN!
Fernando Garcia I always said, he drumming is just great as John
Bonham was way better than any drummer who ever lived
Hahaha
Is right. He was.
I would put black sabbath drummer bill ward on the same tier
This was a week or two before the diagnosis was released last year. This is about 9-10 months ago. We'd been saving this for today.
I like Zepp and Sabbath, but I like the gritty darkness of Sabbath better I think.
John Smith me too. they are just so heavy!
Sabbath for life!
And i like the bluesy of led better thats why i prefer led
@@DannyGadish
Zeppelin was heavier in 69 and 70
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 Zeppelin's groove was unbeatable but no one was heavier than Sabbath
Bonham is my favorite drummer of all time no doubt but let's not forget and give some credit to Ward that man can hella play the drums!!! Two words The Wizard
Bonzo the greatest.
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are A SUPREME GOD'S OF ROCK 'N' ROLL WITH TOGETHER PINK FLOYD, THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES, QUEEN AND DEEP PURPLE.
Asi es
Zeppelin
Sabbath
Deep Purple
"The Unholy Trinity"
The biggest failure of whoever did not record Sabbath and Zeppelin jamming together in rock n roll history!!! They had portable cassette recorders back in the 70's. They coulda audio recorded the jam session. Just imagine someone having a Super-8 camera back then, and recording these legendary bands jamming together! It would have a billion hits on TH-cam if someone ever did such a great thing and recorded the Led Sabbath...or is that Black Zeppelin...jam session, and years later, uploaded it to TH-cam. One of the greatest shortcomings in rock n roll history!! They were mates, the two bands. They both created music that would evolve into what is modern day heavy metal. The bands both respected eachother. RIP John Bonham.
I can understand Tony's predicament. When I was young, I had a friend whose Dad had a hot V8. When my mate got drunk, he was hopeless behind the wheel of his Dad's car. After he nearly killed us a couple of times, I always insisted on driving after we had been to the pub. That gave me a love of fast cars. We are old now, but I still drive a fast car and love it! And I play Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin frequently.
Sabbath n Zep🤘👿🤘 that's 2 Epic bands
Bonzo will always be my favorite drummer of all time. If he had been my friend and I was asked to tell the world something about him, I would have liked to tell them something more interesting than his drunk driving habits. But fuck all, yeah?
John & Keith had different motivations. Supposedly, Bonzo drank heavily due to homesickness.
So cool Tony..... Compare this to Ginger Baker's comments on JB.
Bonzo and keith moon are the best drummers that walked the earh
You can cozy powell and ian paice to that line up all brilliant
I personally think Ian Paice belongs in that group, as well.
Bonham was a bit crazy. I was drinking with him in the early 70's in Chicago at a party after a show, and he was so drunk he grabbed me by my shirt and threatened to throw me through a window.
I would feel honored to have been threatened by Bonzo
PlanetRockJesus he threw George Harrison off a second floor balcony into the pool below, I heard.
@@sundance81677 that's because George threw a pie in his face before!for what i read,george was out of his mind in the 70'
You should if let him
Both bands are great, quit bickering over which one was better. Black Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple and early Queen are the big 4 of early 70s rock 'n' roll
They're the same band in different genres. Sabbath is heavier.
replace Queen with The Who
LOL. You list Queen as one of the big 4's of rock and leave out The Who? Seriously that is just utter rubbish, by anyone's standards
by anyones standards? im pretty sure anyone will tell you queen is probably the most popular rock band from the 70s and had killer songs.
Pink Floyd was bigger than all of those. The Who sucked. Queen was less popular than all bands mentioned here, and had like one good song.
Apparently Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath jammed together in the early days of both bands and even WAS RECORDED. Public releases do not exist of these yet. I wish!!!
FUCK!! Oh my god! That's fucking amazing!
The world would end. It would be way too epic.
+Bruce Wayne Jeeesus that would be second Coming..
+Jesse King Yeah, I've read the same thing. Hopefully they will see the light of day.
+Jesse King On "That Metal Show", Bill Ward said that one thing he would like to do musically (as in things he still hasn't done) is play with Jimmy Page. Bonham and Plant and Sabbath were all from Birmingham, so it would be natural for Plant to join Bonham in jamming with his Sabbath buddies, but it doesn't sound like Jimmy Page was ever involved, based on what Ward said.
RIP John! you were an amazing drummer
Rip baterista del Zeppelin
Bonham was the greatest all around drummer, period. Keith Moon's style fit The Who, but it wouldn't have fit Zeppelin. Back then, you had drummers like Moon, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, etc. that just did fills all over the place, all the time. Bonhams playing was more straightforward, better timekeeping, the best foot on a kick drum, and could play anything. Amazing really.
Well you can't say that for sure. Ironically, at one point Keith Moon and John Entwistle were planning to leave The Who and form a band with .. guess who... Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck lol.
So true!!
@@RichardMedhurst That doesn’t say anything about Keith Moon’s drum playing. “If only”….”he could have if he would have”….but he never did!
“If only he would have lived longer”…..well he didn’t.
Bonham’s legacy is what he DID. Same with Keith Moon.
So yes, JokersWild45 can say that for sure!!! You are fantasizing.
Well said
Im sure we all have stories from our youth...Bonzo is king of the Skins.!
Who would believe Tony Iommi setting in an office cubicle!
tony iommi, nine to fiver.
I started playing drums at 12 and started getting into Sabbath a couple years after that. That was around Never Say Die, Ozzy's last album. Friend of mine lent me the first Sabbath album and I'd listen to it over and over with the headphones on and was baffled by his drum sound/technique, like nothing I heard before. I saw 'The End' tour last year in Toronto...great show (I have some stills posted on my channel), very bittersweet of course. Very disappointing that Bill wasn't part of it
thing about bonham was his feel, and his accents, esp the bass drum. subtle things. he would throw in counter intuitive fills kinda like the beatles did w chord changes or jimi did with licks. they get your attention with this nostalgic sense of pattern and then throw it off ever so slightly to fuck with your head. all the greats have it, flirting at that line between the expected and unpredictable, deliver what the audience wants, but throw in a little extra to really set it off, a cosmic cake. lol
grahamjarman Never mention the Beatles when talking about Led Zeppelin. The Beatles did nothing good zero
@@TRUMP-2024-STF that's ignorant to say.
I love both bands and I'm very aware of both's musical influences.
Don't ignore a band because of you're stubbornness.
Listen to their later albums.
Good interview, but why begin the feature with clips from a reunion concert that happened 27 years after John Bonham's death?
the golden age of hard rock is the best Era for geetar and of course the awesome songs!!!!
Drunk, Moon was silly & crazier, Bonzo was maniacal & dangerous!
& they DID hang out sometimes so those nights...you could kiss that town goodbye!
I like how he clarifies that “pissed” means drunk, for those who don’t know that it’s slang.
"Out on the tiles."
However, he is doing better now. He's gonna beat the cancer. He IS the Iron Man
Bonham can I play bill drums
Tony
Noooo
If I didn't know any better I'd swear Tony was talking about Ozzy
Knowing how hard Bill Ward hits, it's hard to imagine anyone hitting harder and breaking his kit.
Even though I hope he will beat the cancer.
We all thought Dio was going to make it through and unfortunately he didn't.
Let's hope for the best though.
Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin used to "pal around" how dangerous.Imagine if Iron Maiden and Motorhead entered the scene. You could go to war with that crew.
In the 70's, my universe was Tony Iommi , Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Michael Bruce (Alice Cooper), Billy Gibbons, Joe Walsh...I have more respect for these guys than eveyone else on the planet....they were my world.......they were my Beatles and Stones.....
man the storiea these guys have must be crazy if thats just a snipet of the shit they got up to lol
Bill Ward is the equal of Bonham, Paice and Baker for the era .... Mitch Mitchell never did anything for me.
John had good personality and tried to be calm when he was with people, but he had anything inside him, to brace up or be Strong. He was a good man.
Inglese ..
Love hearing stories about other bands hanging out with each other. Very cool. LOL
Bonham died on my 18th birthday... September 25, 1980...
such a shame they didnt record together just imagine those Iommi riffs with the Bonham
Engine
There is allegedly a jam session out there with everybody from Sabbath and zeppelin, but it has been lost for over 40 years
I think Bill Ward was engine enough with Tony Iommi.
Very cool
Ward beats those drums and so does Bonham, both have killer fills, time keeping, tempo changes and mountains of groove! Love em both 🤘
nice
Godspeed Bonzo! We can only imagine......what if?
'' He left it there '' rofl
John doesn't sound crazy at all, just drunk.
... Did.. Tony just call roundabouts "Islands"?....
Bonham was never really "talked about" as much as, well... everyone else. I mean even John Paul Jones got more "press" than Bonham ever did.
Never did interviews (except a very funny one with with Billy Connoly)... he was one of the most private "rockstars" ever. Not Moon ! hehehheh
Nice insight here with Tony.....
live fast die young that's what bonham did.
Yes and lemmy kilminster said live fast die old which he did
wish i could have heard one of those jam sessions tony was talkin about can you imagin tony on a bonham groove it would have the impact of a earth quake.
But...he would do it over and again. Get drunk and drunk drive. Can u say...IDIOT?
Bonham left his new thrashed up wheels perched on a traffic island and Mooners drove his new (Rolls?) into a swimming pool on his 21 first birthday. What a couple of loons.
Zeppelin and sabbath friends. Did they ever tour together?
Crazier, Moonie. Not by much, maybe.
I'd watch a documentary just containing how Sabbath, Zeppelin, Queen, and Motorhead partied together back in their younger years.
Taking my Ludwigs up to join you JH B. Drum off, okay master
Loving the book. Half way thru. Get it.
Not only is he a legendary guitarist, Tony Iommi justs look cool.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Tony Iommi refused to have a session with Bonzo ... ?? I guess Toni was afraid he would never want to play with Bill again after such an experience ... whateva, .. they all are (were) great ... RIP Bonzo ... ( the greatest ) ...
John Bonham can get along to anyones
he fokin left it lmao
Hail to Bill's beard. \M/
Led Zeppelin #1 Fans are very insecure and limited in music knowledge.
Huh?
More like Black Sabbath fans, who think Sabbath is the only pioneer of heavy metal, when they didn't even pioneer the hard rock sound that got their group started.
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 Indeed.
The lack of love in the likes is sad.
I would love to hear a jam session between Zeppelin and Sabbath! It would sound so wonderfully evil!
Plant dogs sabbath a lot. Actually has said bonham wasn't a fan of sabbath's either. Guess it is possible to be friends with someone in a band u don't like. Or Plant is full of shit. I hear Bonham loved, or at least liked Supernaut by Sabbath. Makes sense since it sounds like Zep. Coverdale claims to be friends with Plant, which is funny given how much Plant seems to hate him. Ozzy butt dialed Plant once, so they are in touch.Plant has also bashed him a lot. Love Plant, but dude needs to chill perhaps dogging on Sabbath. Makes him look worse, but then in again, maybe Plant doesn't give a shit. I can somewhat admire that I guess.
Supernaut is a great drum song with a percussive jam in the middle, What drummer wouldn't want to play that !
Plant often says things tongue in cheek.
John Bonham trashed Bill Ward's drums ? Jebus. Bill doesn't exactly tap them lightly either....
Bonzo-Maserati-Booze-Iommi-Islands=GOOD TIMES...
They were practically neighbors, both bands grew up around Birmingham
If you’re playing harder than Bill Ward that’s saying something!!!🤟
Anthony Frank Iommi 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎸😎👊
John "Bonzo"Henry Bonham r.i.p🙏👊
My first hard rock album that l bought on my tenth birthday in 1972 was Paranoid.
Yeah, l know it came out in 1970.
Switching gears so to speak, l bought HAMMER OF THE GODS in its first edition.
I remember reading that Bonzo and his boy Jason going to a Rolls-Royce dealership to test drive a model.
The salesman scoffed at him about driving the car.
This infuriating Bonzo,he demanded to speak to the owner of the dealership.
Afterwards,when Bonzo and Jason came back l can't remember if he bought the car or not.
But he gave the salesman a dressing down and let him know,never judge a book by its cover.
Hopefully they fired the snide salesman.
easy listening was Led Zeppelin after i tired of my Sabbath...
In the image of the young John Bonham at 0:22 he looks rather like Richard Beckinsale, one of the main actors in the TV series Porridge. Beckinsale was also from the Midlands area of England and also died young, at 31 from a heart attack.
Just imagine going out drinking with Bonham and Iommi. Jesus christ.
YES! It's 420, and the number of likes is 420.
Second :p Really glad to see that Iommi is good...
It's funny watching Bill thrash his drums and not letting JB play them!
Cool, John Bonham drove on the wrong side of the road drunk and got stuck on a roundabout. Cool. Social double standards are awesome!
Tony, you’re awesome!
At 1.50 "Oh no". Yes, I'm sure that's what you said Tommi 😂.
BONZO!
What they call islands we call round abouts in the states.
