Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (2)

[Oallright]

Hit hi-hat is like his tick.

[PinguTheG]

:O, i wish i was a drum!

[allamaalarm]

Just think, possibly the greatest drum solo of all time and it has what appears to be one mic for two floor toms and a cowbell that moves every time he hits it. You wouldn't get that today!

[zeppelinb1]

i wish i had a guy to re-position my cowbell

[JohnBonzoBonham1995]

John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham...You are my hero!!!

[HansMoleman112]

good fucking dammit this is epic!

[SCROGY]

My face just asploded!!!!!

[Buddy101gmaster]

6:36 it sounds like Robert says: "John Bonham, John Bonham on drugs". but everyone knows if john bonham did drugs it would make him slower :)

[Alejandrocatheycv]

Fuck Thor... Bonham is the god of thunder!

[vedderfan94]

3 people like Joey Jordison

[jcon53]

Egofdxniyddvlogswcgikdyjv

-sorry, had to wipe the jizz off my keyboard

Bonham is a god!!!

[300daysandnights]

@eroentje94 @Intuision do any of you have danny Carey in your top 10? He's amazing. Controlled, Unique, Talented, and Heavy with out overdoing it. This is a sin but Dave Grohl is in my top 10 because he reminds me of Bonham in his playing. especially on Songs For the Deaf (album) by queens of the stoneage. And ACDC is quite good. At least with Bonn Scott anyways. Their songs are catchy and rarely do anything different with chords or rhythm but it works. that takes talent.

[vedderfan94]

Anyone who isn't blown away by this hasn't actually comprehended what they have just seen.

[z1inspector]

@vedderfan94 YEA DUDE ! i was just gonne say= is this REAL ! lmao !

bonzo is not human ,lol

[beagleman123456789]

No words can describe how amazing this solo is , power, triplets , smooth , fast, on @ on , NO one like him

[bodlaad]

Theres some amazing time keeping machine controlling the hi-hat,oh wait..no,its just John Bonhams left leg.

[LedZeppelin19851]

This is my personal favorite version of moby dick.

[vladstef2011]

just listen the Bonzo's Master Sound !!

[xavier1372]

Fellas. Must we argue about this. Bonzo would be ashamed. Just enjoy it.

[vedderfan94]

Every time I see it, 1:44 continues to blow my fucking mind. Incredible speed. Not that drumming is about speed, because it isn't. But the incredible thing about John Bonham was how he combined that speed and rhythm with tonnes of creativity.

[PinguTheG]

Insanely good, I now see why led zepplin never continued there work after Bonhams death, his timing and skill is top class

[eroentje94]

my drummer top 3:

John Bonham (cant touch him)

Keith Moon ( is awesome0

Phill Rudd (unknown?? hes ACDC's drummer. doesnt play solo's but he a fuckin machine!!!)

[Intuision]

@eroentje94 The fact that you chose Phil Rudd to be in your top three makes me totally disregard your opinion about any drummers completely. I know John Bonham easily tops the list, but you obviously don't know good drummers if Phil Rudd makes your top 3 haha

[eroentje94]

@Intuision dude, AC/DC has sold almost 70 million copies of back in black alone. it is the second most sold album in the world. NO WAY the would have got that kind of sales without a totally awesome drummer. you obviously dont know how to respect other people's opionion if youre going to react that childish... a good drummer knows how to keep the band going and, i think that phil rudd is one of the best at that.

[Intuision]

@eroentje94 That's fine, ACDC can sell millions upon millions of albums, that doesn't mean that everyone needs to find that to be amazing. I hope that ACDC sells a lot, they should after being a famous band for so long. That still doesn't mean that Phil Rudd is an excellent drummer by any means. He can keep a simple 4/4 beat, sure. But the thing that really sets a drummer apart as an individual is their fills. Everyone can do all the same beats.

[Intuision]

@eroentje94 And as to ACDC being an amazing band... meh. They've got groove and definitely a feel for their music and they have fun on stage, but instrumentally the only one who stands out in that band is Angus Young, and he isn't even THAT impressive. He's good, but not mind blowing.

[vedderfan94]

@eroentje94 You don't have a fucking clue what drumming is about. The ACDC drummer can keep a 4/4 beat and that's about it. Don't even mention him in a John Bonham video.

[eroentje94]

@vedderfan94 piss off, its just what i like and if you dont agree, go fuck yourself

[vedderfan94]

@eroentje94 I'm simply stating that you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Sales =/= How good a drummer is.

[eroentje94]

@vedderfan94 thats just to give an example, for good sales you need a good band (or in these days a good computer) and phill rudd isnt a solo player, but no one of acdc is, theyre just a pure rock n roll band. and if that involves a simple 4/4 drumbeat its still amazingly tight.

[Intuision]

@eroentje94 @vedderfan94 whatever bro, ADCD is a band without solid talent. I'm surprised they've made it as far as they have. I've heard shitty artists become famous, and I've also heard dudes playing in bars who are incredible but they get no where. You've gotta be lucky and catch a good break to get famous. If you think Phil Rudd is in your top three list of drummers, whatever. You're just someone who doesn't know what it takes to be a good drummer. Cause Phil Rudd's actually pretty shit :)

[eroentje94]

@Intuision dude, you are an abomination for rockers all over the world. i mean im not that much of an lowlife to insult even ANY drummer. i think we can all agree bonzo is best and the rest is my personal taste, and if you disagree thats a waste on your side. acdc is one of, if not the biggest rockbands in history that didnt sell themselves out. youve gotta respect that, you obviously dont, and that makes you anything but a rocker so piss off, your not worth it to talk about ACDC

[Intuision]

@eroentje94 Hahahahaha whatever man, go ahead and get all pissy. You just sound like a fucking idiot and I hope you know that. I hope you're following in Phil Rudd's footsteps as a drummer because that probably won't get you very far haha and we don't need anymore drummers getting famous based on mediocre amounts of talent.

[IronBoundNorge]

@Intuision acdc was good and deserve respect, but i got to agree that phil rudd is somewhat of a intermidiate drummer, no creativty what so ever. Acdc did say that they want their music to be simple as fuck and its a part of their sound, beeing simple

[moviemaster8510]

If they were to make a Led Zeppelin biopic, who do you think should play who?

My first choices are Russel Brand as Robert Plant and James McAvoy and John Bonham. Any better suggestions or ideas for Jimmy Page or John Paul Jones?

[MrInsaniti]

I hope that drum set was over the age of 18.

[zooyorkliam6]

@MrInsaniti dosent matter he fuckin raped it. hard.

[ThrashRoC]

one of my biggest musically idols of all times , John Bonham

his sound , his technique ,Perfect !

[rebootedone]

omg dude i guess you never heard of back beat?

[sicklincoln94]

This Animal from the muppets if Animal was real haha. Lad Zepp for life!

[jessies97]

i dont understand how anyone can dislike this

[smp156]

is this clip a continuation from his open-hand drumming section?

[G17B3RT]

@smp156 yes

[zeppdrummer182]

i wish i was the guy who touched the cowbell.

[SCROGY]

5:29-5:40

God wishes he could do that.

[PhishPhanPhorever]

his double bass isnt even that fast guys that means hes not very good...wait just a second hes only using one fucking pedal!! bonzo=god of everything

[Schnurzy]

@PhishPhanPhorever he wasnt aloud to use a double bass..they knew he could do it without one so they didnt let him

[mikuz007]

@PhishPhanPhorever nothing special. the technique is called heal-toe. but those are just some words. mastering it takes a lot of skill

[TheJesterGirl]

This man was a fucking BEAST. RIP you wonderful man. 

[milesneedham]

really hell never stops breaking loose throughout the whole song.... this is fucking orgasmic....

[milesneedham]

at 1:10 all hell breaks loose as well....

[wamble21]

F-ing AMAZING

[TheApplescout]

It would be hilarious if at the end of the drum solo a girl came out from under the snare drum and wiping her mouth like donut filling is around it

[VanzZ159]

Now I CAN die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuju!

[ledzeppelin4304]

WTF!!!!!!!!!! 6:14 to 6:18!!!!!!!!

[sEnKodu]

Joey Jordison es una mamadita a lado de John Bonham!!

Fuck Yeah!!

[bgrimles]

drumsticks down! The best drum to ever live



[stevenj967]

If anyone asks why they couldn't go on with out him...this is why

Wow!

Just think if bonzo hadn't left what could they have done?

[fifer2316]

yeaahhh !!!

[phatcorrado]

I used to think Neil Peart was better, then I saw this.

[KaBaSpLoOSh]

how do you memorize all of that? xD

[MrPhlopip]

@KaBaSpLoOSh you don't. most of it is improvised and he just remembers key parts to it

[npagano05]

2 people are snobby drummers.

[piroishomo]

my fav part 1:44

[piroishomo]

best fucking performance

[BonzoAleman]

@wheeljack69 AMEN¡¡¡

[BurnTheHippie]

Tommy Lee and Travis Barker are probably the two who disliked this. "You mean people can play more than basic drum beats? Well, I can't have that!"

[ttime513]

who are the two cock heads who dislike this?!!

[LeanBuka1]

@ttime513 They thought it was the 'download' button

[AlmostSkater2100]

@xxmusicheadxx i think he means he tried playing it

[theviraldrummer]

Can you imagine how many people probably quit playing the drums for life because they realized the probability of never being this good hahahaha

[TheRobOtter]

This is AWESOME!!!

[themuffman45]

no drummer can compare to bonzo. i dont even play drums but this is the best sound ive ever heard!

[jaqua524]

@themuffman45 mooooon my man, keith moon is the greatest, with bonzo very close, apples and oranges though, i dont think bonham could play the way moon could, cant say the same vice versa cause we dont know how technically good moon was, his style wasn't but that doesnt mean he didnt have it in him, regardless, both freaks of nature, god took the two greatest rock drummers of all time

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@jaqua524 ....It's "thunder strike" vs "runaway train".....

[jaqua524]

@AvirtualSwitzerland yep

[G17B3RT]

it's great to see him drink a beer in the end

[trubowspiritwind]

Fabulous display of the Power of Led Zeppelin. For those who commented on it Mr. Bohnam's drug of choice when away from his family was Alcohol. So sad, but he did touch us with his genious.

[paesveri35]

el mejor baterista de todos los tiempos!!!

[zzy66613]

Zeus is replaced by John Bonham.....

[cmann623]

genius

[horse69outside]

this is what tornados watch when they are getting ready to roll

[angusyoung15]

brennan touched dales drumset then logged on and disliked this.

[Rockshift999]

This blew my Mind Away....

[farhangzia]

OMFG DUDE! LISTEN TO HIS BASS DRUM FROM @4:08 to @4:41 OMFGWTFHBCCAOGLSHDODLAOGEODIAD­?!!?! How the fuck can he be that fast?! I wish they'd shown his foot. Then again, I guess I wouldn't be able to see it anyway. :S

[nigthmare514]

Bonzo is the best

[claudiatay13]

The fact that this vid has two parts proves its AMAZINGNESS (know its not a word dont care) JOHN HENRY BONHAM IS THE BEST.

[ezt123dp]

i damn near shat myself when he was doing the little call and response thing with his snare and bass drum... DAMN HES GOT A FAST FOOT

[intheband14]

this is the "old fashioned music" teens dont like. can you believe it??? they dont know what real music is

[Intuision]

@intheband14 I take offense to that, I'm 17 years old and have been listening to Zeppelin as long as I can remember. They're my favourite band of all time and, as a drummer myself, I see John Bonham as the most impressive drummer of all time.

[intheband14]

@Intuision i meant the ppl that listen to that justin beiber crap. if ur a drummer nd likkE led zeppelin, ur tottally cool. dont be offended to easy though... nd btw, i never saidd anythingg about bonzo NOT being good. hes the besstt!!!!! noone could beat him. im with u onn that

[76scaramanzia]

es IMPRESIONANTE!!! lo que hace Bonzo, lejos el mejor. Por que no es mas contemporanio a esta epoca para podes disfrutarlo en vivo...... DIOS!!!!!!!!!

[Goryllo]

i'd like to comment but i'm wordless

[bestguitaristEVERR]

lol only drummer ever, that was likely to literaly expload on stage (like spinal taps fake drummer xD )

[whitewolfen68]

Only thing I have to say is Holy Shit!!

[drummerman9278]

i just realized how much i suck at drumming.

[XxRattxX771]

@drummerman9278 Hahahahaaha me too

[BonzoAleman]

TE AMO MAESTRO¡¡¡

[LeanBuka]

I simply don't believe that this man has only 2 arms

[tomhart1000]

He must have been fucked after that

[bigkeef15]

What is he saying of moving his mouth for? Is it to help him keep count or something?

[Balfouruk]

@bigkeef15 he will be counting his beats

[dsckakashi]

@bigkeef15 bonham was known for just screamin while he was drumming

[purplehaze5562]

NOW THATS A DRUM SOLO!!!!

[jetfreak4]

I would kill to own this kit.

[beantownbig3]

[Dragho]

Hazme un hijo!

[trdacy]

[ummagumma1994]

5:28 Fastest ive ever seen anyone drum. what i would give to jam with someone like that

[crgMCF]

JHB was the GREATEST drummer that has ever lived. He has inspired about 80% of drummers that you see now a days.

[scitslunkphantasmo]

[RunningMan8917]

unsurpassed

[novoloko666]

BONZI IS THE GOD OF DRUMS!!..I LOVE YOU

[MotorheadDrew]

[coolscape6]

[xxmusicheadxx]

[coolscape6]

@xxmusicheadxx no covering it like a cover, which is basically trying to re-play it myself

[f00kbush]

@xxmusicheadxx he tried covering it as in playing it, not converting it

[Lordiisgod]

@xxmusicheadxx I think he tried covering it...

[EseHomeboyEc]

@xxmusicheadxx nice video man nice quality

[movieandmusicfriki]

@xxmusicheadxx He meant he tried to play it... and he couldn´t

[bry3051]

@xxmusicheadxx what he meant was covering it as in playing it himself

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

[zonezs]

[tp10488]

John Bonham - John Bonham on drums!



[Fridayplaylist]

what a hero

[ClevoMaiden]

5:00 all hell breaks loose

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@ClevoMaiden .....That's the SPINAL TAP drummer in the SIMPSONS episode....Four fucking arms at the very least...

[allmetaliswelcome]

i think that this drum solo must have been very boring for non-drummers

[classicrockNo1]

@allmetaliswelcome nope. even some non drummers can understand what skill it takes to play this. those that don't appreciate it. . .what can I say?

[Biotendo]

I can and did watch this all day......

[PLACEBOgarbage]

one of  the best drummers ever!!!!!!!

[zavirovanasisa]

@PLACEBOgarbage not one of the best drumers, the best drumer!!

[Chuckycheeseize]

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE FF BUTTON IN THE FILM THAT JUST SHOWS

HOW GREAT BONZO WAS.

[chirimumu]

the best drumer of the history

[idiotsrus92]

HE EVEN DID A STICK TRICK AT THE END!!! HOLY SHIT HE'S BERZERK!!

[Fridayplaylist]

@idiotsrus92 I saw that! class

[Stilldrank]

Is it possible for someone get bored with that thing..it's not a solo..this is a statement :go fuck yourselves,I'm the best!!how beautiful 5:30.god...

[LedHeadTillDeath]

Every SECOND of that was pure bliss.

[peganian]

This is from another galaxy, no other drummer will ever compare to Bonzo.

[NaturizedOnline]

62 years ago this legend was born. R.I.P. Bonham, you were one of the greatest gifts rock ever received

[123enigma456]

4:46 - 5:45 i nearly had an orgasm it was so beautiful

[PVBOG]

Bonham = Beast

[91Lizardking]

Well, John Henry really kicks every drummers ass here.

[ToTylkoJa4]

He was an Animal !!! Everyone member of band completed another. They were completely matched. I understand why they didn't want to continue playing without Bonzo. Best band ever. They made MUsic with other bands from 60's and 70's. Theres some of groups which still can play good tunes nowadays, but officially to me music is teath since 90's.

[Redeye691]

After listening to the great Led Zepplin for more years than I care to admit ( I'm almost 58), I still can't get over just how good they all were ...in their own rights...and together!!!

[ozguryilmaz91]

6:05

[SoCalFlyer1]

Well he was a drinker. I'm pretty sure he wasn't into drugs.

[PLACEBOgarbage]

huge way to play drums  he is a monster

[amanecerblanco]

damn man, just damn

[Bradaur]

Huge !!!

[garshokmd]

drunk or not, he is the best drummer

[mizzpink98z24cavi]

Who cares if he was or wasn't on drugs? I don't! Nobody is perfect and why are you judging? Geez can't we just enjoy the music that Mr. Bonham left us with? Is that so much to ask for? I don't think so.
