Nicknamed Bonzo, John Bonham is considered to be one of the greatest rock drummers of all time (via John Bonham). His love for drumming was evident early on and as a child, he would use household items to bang on. By the time he was a young adult, Bonham had gained a reputation for being one of the best drummers in his hometown of Redditch, England. Playing in several bands, he eventually met Robert Plant, who would later become the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. In late the 1960s, Jimmy Page, (who was formerly the lead guitarist for The Yardbirds) decided to make his own band

40 shots of vodka? I don't think even Hillary could drink that much.

Met and chatted for over an hour with his son Jason.

A REALLY nice guy!

Add him to the list of fabulously rich people who make poor choices and die. May he RIP.

Bonzo?

Wasn't there a movie where Ronald Reagan tried to get him to go to bed? I never watched the movie to the end so I don't know if he succeeded.

Hope his meeting with Jesus was a very pleasant one. His choice for a significant part.

BTW, his fast foot? He credited Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge with teaching him that.

I can’t tell the difference between any two drummers that are proficient.

They all sound the same to me, invisible but to the connoiseurs I guess.

Those trips, right?
