  • @sulav616 hope God won't want guitar lessons with Jimmy so soon.

  • there  were 3 greatest drummers....Bonham, Pert ...and Brewer... Amen ....goodnite!

  • @toothmaker22000 umm wake-up! I think you forgot a few...Paice,, Colaiuta etc etc. Just saying. Oh and amen to you too!

  • @jaqua524 i really think there shouldnt be a best drummers in the world list because every one has their own opinion on who they like

  • Great! But I also think he was drunk as hell!

  • Didn't have the best technique, did he? Makes me wonder how much better he could have been...

  • 29 haters

  • RiP Bonzo :c

    

  • Reminds me of the muppet Animal

  • @janegro24 just because Keith moon was part of the highest album selling band of all time and had a bigger drum set doesnt make him better

  • @Ludwigzildjian1 no, thats not the reason why he is better, he is better because he opened the door for rock drumming, his style was unpredictable, and could never be imitated, his constant fills and triplets were ridiculous, and in a way, sound. He played with emotion, and feeling and gave the who's music energy, isn't that what rock and roll is about? A drummer did not define a band as much as keith moon did, not even bonham, also bonham is a close 2nd, this is all why moon is the greatest.

  • @Ludwigzildjian1 not to mention his creativity

  • @janegro24 disagree.

  • @janegro24 Only Just..

  • @janegro24 No, Keith Moon is simply different.

  • John died because god wanted drum lessons..

  • @sulav616 haha that's one hell of a teacher!

  • @sulav616 Idiot, there are no gods!!!!!! sort your life out.

    Bonham dided because he wanted to hear what that cirrus cloud sounded like as a ride.

  • There are great technicians like Pert and Rich, but NOBODY rocks better than John Henry Bonham! He was the greatest rock drummer that will ever be, especially since rock is dying.

  • @LawrenceKennard rock is not dying it kill only....

    

  • I bet in heaven Bonham was named "The God of Triplets"

  • John Bonham is a BEAST!

    and Dave Grohl would smoke Travis Barker.

  • I love all styles and like the way "Mick Tucker" from (The Sweet) had such an inpact on my style.. not cos he was fast or though he could be but, you could learn a lot from his fills in the B-sides that the band did. most Drummer have there own way of playing and we can all learn something from them. Thanks For posting.

  • whats more entertaining than led zeppelin live?!

  • 'I'm a simple straight forward drummer and I don't pretend to be anything better than I am.' - John Bonham. The best thing about him was, he wasn't arrogant. No wonder he's one of the greatest.

  • Take a look at ELVISDRUMMER 76 for the greatest drum solo.

  • God can you fuckers just shut the fuck up with whos better oh my god can we just enjoy that damn video. Go Bonzo and his amazing triplets

  • sometimes when i watch bonzo i think it's sped up but then i look at the rest of the band and its not, fucking drum god

  • So, was Bonzo a better powerhouse behind Zepp than Phil Collins (laugh, laugh) ?

  • Tutta la gente ke ha messo nn mi piace ascolta marco carta,nn capisce un cazzo di musica.E' come tifare sfinter nel calcio

  • #1

  • BONZZOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The thing with John's drumming is not only is it extremely hard to copy but the fact that he thought of doing those specific beats to the songs. If I had not heard the songs before and someone started playing "When the Levee breaks" or "Good times bad times" on the guitar, the beat I would be doing would be nothing like what John came up with. So unique and so perfectly suited to the song being played. Just a freakin genius. Master of all time.

  • @skaxamax Excactly !! He was so Unique and Just think of how many Drummers have tried to copy his style. He was a genius for sure ! I mean "fool in the rain". How the hell did he come up with the beat? He was a pioneer!

  • today are people much better... but he was a pionier! Bring today a new style and you will be a legend... impossible

  • I think people need to chill out and stop hating on old and new music. Jordison doesn't suck, neither does Avenged Sevenfold's James Sullivan, or Escape the Fate's Robert Ortiz. Same thing with AC/DC, or Led Zeppelin, or the Beatles. Everyone deserves their own respect for trying no matter what music it is. That's why I listen to classic rock, jazz, rap, hip hop, death metal, speed metal, heavy metal..I respect it all because they try. People need to quit hating.

  • i think that... unless we create a schedule with points and that everything... we can not say who is the best drummer... and for me, this way, is allright

  • What is the name of that song? With incredible drum solo, i've just started listening to LZ.

    thanx

  • @Dubeux2 Rock 'N' Roll/Sick Again

  • I know it is hard to believe, but drumming started way before Travis was born. When an icon like John Bonham, said his influences wre Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich, maybe you punks need to look that s.... up! When I say Vistalites, you say "huh".

  • John Bonham has been voted the best drummer ever to have lived, every single year by the best musicians in the world. Who the fuck is saying he isn't the best? Are you deaf? Or are you a Justin Bieber fan?

  • @01GuitarGuru01

    Bonham was an incredible drummer, but as a professional drummer I have to go with Keith Moon for Greatest of All Time honors with Bonham a close second.

  • @maprow Kieth moon ? He was just sloppy and all over the place. He had great energy but "greatest of all time?

  • @jordanjcm oh without a doubt...keith was amazing..sloppy and all over the place..that was his style, the way he choose to play...no one could ever duplicate his unique style, but oddly enough, it worked for the who...he gave their music so much energy, and emotion and feel to their music, and even tho it was all over the place and sloppy, it was perfect for their music, gave it emotion, feeling, and energy...isnt that what rock and roll is about?

  • @jaqua524 Very true, very true. The Who were never the same after keith. I loved his drumming, I just would not call him "greatest of all time". Then again I would not call any drummer the 'greatest' because too many people "compare" drummers and they should just recognice the styles of different drummers. I have respect for almost all drummers and all drum styles.

  • @jordanjcm yes agreed....technical skill does not necessarily make someone "the greatest" infact, in a way you are correct, there is no such thing as the greatest..who determines this? its all opinionated

  • long live the king of drums!

  • check out how tight and crisp his kick sounds on the last kick note he does after the solo

  • orgasm started 0:00 to 0:33

  • john fuckin bonham bonzo...great!

  • john boham did not need has a 100 set kit pieces drums to show he was the best drummer all times.... it is.

  • i dont think that guy is serious i mean he has to be joking i mean barker over bonham thats a sin for me to even type man get with the program

  • travis who travis what ...travis has got nothing on bohnam mate ....travis you dont know what your talking about mate bonham is king

  • they are both extremely sick. totally different styles though, thats all 

  • I know middle school drummers who can play better than barker. lol

  • travis barker ? even if he was good , his band sucks , so who cares

  • ringo starr might have been a metronome but bonzos a master

  • I see God.

  • Tommy Lee is the best drummer, in my opinion!

  • @mariofan4523 Tommy Lee is not the best, compared to Buddy Rich or Neil Peart

  • @JimboG132 Neil peart, who the heck is he? And Buddy Rich, we're going back to the 50s?

  • @mariofan4523 If we're talkin all time, yes, neil peart, and/or buddy rich

  • @mariofan4523 tommy is a great player

  • thats it.....black dots are going back on

  • Bonham has either chewbaccas or bigfoots toms to the left side of him... those are HUGE.

  • @Colliernator1000 those are timpanies

  • @Colliernator1000 they're about the same size as my nan's coffee table

  • @Colliernator1000 he had same size balls

  • i cant stop watching this. i get the same kick out of it every time.

  • Bonham is my favorite hard rock drummer, but his solos put me to sleep.

  • Truth is guys, music is about feeling and producing a sound, that sounds good. Travis Barker might not be able to hit the drums in as many complex ways as John Bonham, but he plays with emotion that the young audience today can relate to. Teenagers today can't really relate to this. Music is about feeling and that is why Travis Barker is an excellent drummer. Just like the kids of the 70s went nuts for Bonzo on the drums.

  • @DGENERATE07 wrong mate

    bonham is still better than travis

  • @DGENERATE07 im a teenager and i hate blink 182, Led Zep is the only band for me

  • Neil Peart is better.

  • @LordVatter IN YOUR DREAMS...

  • @LordVatter Yeah right....

  • sick...

    

  • The rover ftw!

  • @robotsforever

    ahahahhahah, made my day man. dunno why, just a funny comment. :D

  • @bijeleudovice2 Then you have to say Phil Collins,Drums,Piano,Vocals,wri­ting songs ,And the guy can't read a quarter note.Go figure.Then Peart ,great drums ,Lyrics,Very musical.And yes Roger did great work,I love his drumming on Bicycle Races.Very Under rated.It's the three man bands that get the attenion.They have alot more room to fill.Tons of riffs,lots of players love that Shit.The music escapes them,they just want to play a lot of notes.,But people like that suck to play with.

  • @burlpen89 Exactly! everyone thinks that the faster you play the better you are, but really music is all about expression and most people nowadays forget that, for example Kurt Cobain showed us that songs dont have to be complex and hard to play. And drummers that try to hard and add too many fills in to beats are so hard to play with.

  • There are many Great drummers,But great drummer/ musicians are much harder to find,No one is the best,It's like saying what is the best tree on earth.None, They each have there own beauty.When it comes to drummers(And Electric guitar players)Speed is always the factor,Why?Who's the fastest tuba player on the planet?Who's the fastest piano player?Who asks those questions,No one.It's being a great musician that really counts,The bands they played with,The group as a whole made these guys famous

  • @burlpen89 its not about speed my friend

  • holy shit iwas listening to one of those video playlists on MTV .god dman the drumemrs must b so bored. they jsut do four on the floor rock beat for 4 minutes at a time, every once in a while add acrash. they think they so good.

  • How the hell did a video of Awesome John Bonham become a flamewar over Blink-182?

  • @failman1992 probably with "Travis is better than Bonham"

  • I know john rocks... but that wasn't a very impressive solo

  • @td13hr13

    it's definetly not one his best, but it's hard to find ANY footage of live solos on youtube.

  • i think i know why this drum solo isnt fast, 1st its in the middle of a song, and second i think they did this song right after they did moby dick, and anyone whos ever seen earls court moby dick would understand (Bonhams a BEAST)

  • il avait la pêche John Bannane

  • Comment removed

  • People ... people... people... stop arguing about this inherently subjective matter. If you like someone - you like them, no further discussion. Why is someone a "jerk" for not agreeing. that is one thing I never understood about this site. It's like humans NEED to have conflict.. Everyone is a specialist. Everyone is RIGHT. Everyone else is WRONG.

    RE: Blink 182. They obviously are doing something right -- they've sold over 10, 000, 000 albums. Don't ask me how or why - it's just a fact.

  • @nonewmccarthyism It's probably because Blink 182 have an audience of retards. And they deserve that audience - the audience befits the 'musicians'.

  • Crap! Nick Jonas is much better!

  • @1945musicia joey jordison is better than both of them combined

  • @1945musician my little sister is better than some gay nick"i love suckin dig"jonas

  • u cant really compare barker and bonham. 2 completely different styles. travis is more about speed and power. while john had that, he was definitely more rhythm oriented. sadly, for the new generation, travis is the idolized one. hes fast, but not nearly the best. for me hes third behind Tre (green day) and Cyrus (new found glory), and if were talking speed then Dave Macintosh from Dragonforce and Michael Bartlett from All That Remains take the gold.

  • ok seriously SHUT UP!!!!!! people can think what they want bout Travis Barker if they like him they like him

  • Happy Birthday John Bonham

    BEST DRUMMER THERE HAS EVER BEEN

    BEST DRUMMER THERE WILL EVER BE

    Rest on Peace Bonzo

  • why are people comparing travis to john bonham, john is a god

  • travishit barker

  • we say this with guitar players that there will never be one like em, well we said it about hendrix (along came jimmy page, no disrespect to jimi because page dont sound like him but hes certainly got talent like hendrix) but im serious when i say john bonham is the best drummer of all time, with kieth moon, mitch mitchell, bill ward and the lot right behind and btw FUCK NEIL PEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • what is the name of this song, i liked it

  • @PLACEBOgarbage the song is sick again, listen to the whole album

  • @aeronirvanazeppelin tank you very  much

  • it's a shit but nice for a rocker xDD RIP

  • LOL @ some people.... oh yeah this drummers awesome.... my nan could play a solo better than that :L

  • travis baker is good but there is so many people that are better, bonham isnt the best either, but i love his style, hes one of my favorites, and i agree, jordison sucks, all he does is play really fast, it has no creativity to it

  • he doesn't really play very fast either, he plays reasonable fast without sounding good and also with no creativity, there are plenty of technical faster drummers that make their solos and general drumming in songs sound great.

  • @dustinj49 A good drummer that is fast and creative is Dave Abbruzzese. But he does know how to run his mouth too.

  • @dustinj49 Seriously? Bonham is the best... Neil Pert is the best alive... But Bonham is the best... Buddy Rich is 2nd best and Neil Pert is 3rd

  • i have been influenced by barker , but i understand he isnt the best but he brings uniqueness and style to drums that have influenced younger new wave drummers like myself

    its good to have a wide choice john bonham is my favourite by far though :)

    oh and jordison SUCKS

  • @mreliassimpson I like'em all. The only reason i think joey Jordison is ok is because i've noticed he used rudiment with his feet which is pretty impressive but he's kind of uncreative otherwise.

  • not his best but omg ive seen him blow my mind like 100 times

  • er..you want drums ? check out ELVIN JONES -cos Bonzo did.

  • travis needs improvement

  • sucks

  • man hes such a bad ass, i like a lot of drummers, buddy rich and mike portnoy are a couple of my favorites, but since listening to john im starting to like his work.

  • I Prefer Ian Paice and Cozy Powell

  • @Smackenzieth what makes john bonham so good

  • well i can list you many reasons if you're testing me.but check out moby dick and you'll see why

  • @axacingdude Lol... Moby Dick, Dazed and Confused, The Song Remains the Same, the list goes on and on... John Bonham is the best drummer of all time, he's got the intensity of Keith Moon with the precision of Neil Pert... Drummers today it's all about speed and it's horrendous... Slipknot's drumming is terrible, Punk has some pretty good beats but nothing compared to that of Bonham, Pert or Buddy Rich

  • @5uicide5ilence tony royster jr in my opinion is better than keith moon. we all have our own opinions but tbh you do get ideats that think joey jordison or travis barker who are the best which is stupid i no.

  • @Smackenzieth Nothing at all? He's a great drummer. At same time no one comes close to John.

  • @skaxamax buddy? :P

  • @drummerman55  Neil? Weckl? Smith?

  • @GrizDrummer25 by Neil i take it youre talking about Neil Peart? nah man i prefer bonham to peart, although Weckl and Smith are out of this world. Still, in my opinion, Buddy stands tall in any argument about the "God of drumming"

  • @Smackenzieth People just think that a certain person drums fast, that means they're amazing. It's all about like rhythm and the groove, I feel so bad for people when they're like "TRAVIS PARKER IS THE BEST DRUMMER EVER!" It gives me a good laugh.

  • @Musefan6732 most of the time yes. as long as you can feel the music then i say thats what makes a good drummer. if they can keep in perfect rhythm and time and still feel it, then so be it. you cant say that every drummer who plays fast isnt talented or unable to feel the music. travis barker has no feel for the drums just by listening.just cuz hes good at rudiments does not qualify as a feel for drums.depends on what u like tho.

  • @Smackenzieth Travis Barker became famous because of all the comercials he did. which got people to know travis barker which made him famous cause everyone who isn't a drummer liked him cause it was one of the only drummers they know. and some drummers like Travis. I preferably like John Bonham better.

  • FUCK YEAH

    I LOVE YOU XD

  • Barker - Overrated is not the word.

  • Many comments here on who's THE best rock drummer. That's very personal but bonham is my choice for sure. Very powerfull and unique drummer

  • jamais vi um baterista bater com alma, feito esse incrivel bonham....

  • Shut the fuck up.

  • What song is this this?

  • @stewartcopeland13 this song is 'sick again' from the album 'physical graffiti'.

  • Sick Again

  • Travis better than Bonham!!! Dont be so stupid. The guy who wrote that probaly doesnt play drums!!! Barkers good but bonham is absolutley brilliant.

  • Dont' get me wrong Trav is an amazing drummer but i promise you he like every other drummer who's played rock since has learned alot from Bonham

  • Are you serious?

  • @KINGofALLtheMERCIANS

    Your a retard. Idiots are the only people that can't decipher a drummer from another. Stop your complaining and go play the friggen slide whistle you musical idiot...

  • @ParallaxDrums For the slide whistle comment, you win, quite alot. Snaps for you man. Snaps for you.

  • maybe because you need to remove the dick stick into your ears.

  • i learn from every drummer i hear. i either learn more... or learn less. it's that middle ear that should wake all of you up. if you don't learn what not to play..how do you learn what to play. learn from every drummer cause they all can teach you something

    mike owens

  • @nothadnotbad You're an idiot.

  • @miamad hahaha he put his name like he was expecting us to say "oh its mike owens"

  • think the muppet ur thinkin about RGdood is animal the drum playing muppet was based on who legend Keith Moon

  • seriously looks like a muppet from sesame street bouncing around on drugs in the beginning

  • no offense only vid iv seen of the dude but... all he did on this was snare 2-3 times with a bass then switch to a tom the back to snare then another tom ect. then a double crash? with maybe a 3-4 beat fill in there? ill watch another i guess.

  • @daimeun32347 you go do that

  • @woorso- you didnt say that when he drummed on you that night.

  • @woorso. Dude. He's considered to be the greatest drummer of all time. Go watch other videos of him. By the way, you mind posting a video response to show us your awesome skills?

  • @Elite10317 i watch some videos... i don't think that he is the best...

    i'm not a drummer, but must necessarily be better than something to criticize?

  • @woorso...it's common on drummers' videos that a "Who's the Best/Better Drummer?" issue comes up...as a drummer myself, I enjoy music and drumming - and I can live with the fact that perhaps MOST other drummers are better than myself...I don't feel Bonham was in the upper echelon of drummers - but I still respect his playing and creativity...I'm guessing that HE played drums because he enjoyed it, not necessarily to become the best drummer...

  • @davss5 I did not say otherwise, I said that is not the best in the world, just this ... well I play and I know that there is a lot, but many people better than me but this has not given me trouble ever ...

  • Thanks for your reply...I admit that I'm concerned that you misunderstood the "tone" of parts of my reply...I was replying to your point about (others) "criticizing" - which lead me to step onto my own "soapbox" about how others get into the "Best/Better Drummer" issue (in an unconstructive manner)...so my comments about Bonham were not aimed at you, but (aimed) at other unappreciative/unfair critics...I appreciate that you're comfortable with your own skill level...thanks again...blessings...

  • @davss5 sorry but I'm not English, I understood more or less what you wrote but I'm not sure I played well ... However, officials estimate that you are able to make an intelligent discussion ...see you

  • @woorso ...thanks again for your reply...when you said that you're not English, did you mean that your native language is not English?...

  • @davss5 excactly...i'm italian..xD

  • @woorso ...greetings to an Italian...I love Europe, and I've been to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome)...blessings...

  • may god eat ur soul

  • @1tootall96 god does not exist my dear

  • screw you prick

  • The best two drummers in my opinion were John Bonham and Buddy Rich. There are a lot of good drummers out there and even some really gifted drummers. But to me, Bonham and Rich were the best.

  • AMEN!
