  • When it comes to jazz drummers, Bonham reminds me most of Sonny Payne who was Basie's drummer for a time.

  • why does jimmy page's guitar sound dead? He played good is just the sound is heavier on royal albert hall and madison square garden 73'.

  • Todos eles estavam muito chapados e bêbados!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • I love it.

  • Eres mi dios!

    Bonham!

  • 34 people have no ears...

  • Bonham is good , but Buddy Rich was and is the best drummer of all time.

  • @scorsese1 Uh yeah but john bonham is one of the best in rock music. I agree with you though. I used to argue whether buddy rich or gene krupa was the best ultimately I went with buddy. I mean the guy was a beast, in the 50s he was doing stuff that could wreck rock drummers even today.

  • Robert: this is your dad... MOBY DICK!!! *music is all flat* Jason: iggggggggggggggggggggggggggh :'(

  • i dont know how neil peart gets slammed. if you like drummers you should like neil peart. ive always liked JB but thiis was a little sloppy to me, he's probably a "little" drunk. you would never see peart drunk.

  • @patstarz HEY FUCK YOU he is 10x the drummer u will ever be

  • @RenegadeWoody

    haha you must be as drunk as john bonham was in this video

  • It looked like he was checking the time (on his wrist) at 6:28. Hahaha

  • so tragic that he died!!! he was a legend in rock!!!!

  • Holy shit! :D

  • God has piece 1 out of 4 of his Band back.

  • JASON BOHNAM SOUT OUT?? SWEET!!!! even though john is better i thought it was cool that robert gave a sout out

  • die pure gönnung!

  • This makes me proud to say that I was a Teenager when Led Zeppelin was doing this kind of thing, and I always told everyone,

    LED ZEPPELIN IS MY FAVORITE BAND!

    Well, guess what?

    I'm 50 now and

    THEY STILL ARE!

  • Neil peart sucks... Bonham is the best drummer of wolrd..always...

  • @mgruiz88756

    YOU ARE RIGHT!

  • @mgruiz88756 lol its not cuz someone is good that everybody else sucks ... im sure you cant beat Neil Peart so just enjoy the song alright ?

  • @mgruiz88756 John Bonham's my favourite drummer, but I would never say that Neil Peart sucks. If you don't like his style I can understand that as I don't really like his style a lot. He's still an incredibly talented drummer.

  • REWELACJA.....NIESAMOWITY...

  • IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE WAS ONLY 32...I WAS 18 WHEN HE DIED..WOW!!

  • He drum cause of died lessons for God, shit, I screwed up!

  • To quote a great line from the film, "Full Metal Jacket" Neil Peart is not fit to eat the peanuts from John Bonham's shit.

  • People! Some make films on the Book, some tell scolars about.

    John just played the whole story by drums! He's genius!

  • Stephen Morris, Joy Division, New Order etc is my favourite. Like a robot that guy!

  • 10 minutes of ectasy :P

  • john bonham is the best drummer ever RUSH SUCKS!!!!!!!

  • @drummerboy1234567100 c'mon - you don't really mean that. - i saw bonzo on 4tour's and yes,he was the best i think that he would've admired neil peart and thought well of his band

  • my god. those have to be the best sounding fucking drums I've ever heard

  • @kjaylor yup

  • My friend introduced me to Led Zeppelin by by telling me about how the drummer would play solos til his hands bled. BAD. ASS.

  • @Cincinnatus1869 as a drummer I totally get the whole role as a percussionist in any organized band, let alone a rock band, however, we are talking about technique and procession here bottom line Bonzo was a fabulous rock drummer and a pioneer for sure and one of my MANY influences, but Chambers could and can do everything he did in this solo with 10x times more speed and accuracy. But they do have 2 different styles, much like me and you do. Guess we can agree to disagree man...

  • Happy Birthday Bonzo, you were the greatest!!!

  • Happy B Day Bonzo !!!

  • John is an amazing drummer. Neil is an amazing drummer. However they play two very different styles so lets settle it. The are equal

  • @oriondrums2 You're right, almost... only thing I can add is that Bonzo's the best. (It's his birthday today) :)

  • @oriondrums2 I love both!! but bonzo was sooo crafty,smooth, yet soo powerfull! bonzo set THE standerd! p.

  • It's a sad day when both top comments say the same damn thing.

  • I love this video! Must watch it at least once a month. Bonham was the best. (And the other guys can play quite well, too!)

  • At 9.38 pause it, that is one scary arsed seriously, really scary and psychotic look, that is not John Bonham the loving, kind, family man at home, that is Bonzo the alcohol fuelled, high octane, demonic, hard rocking, hard drinking, hard partying Led Zeppelin nightmare drummer on tour that so sadly died at 32. Such a shame a man so talented was afflicted with such a dark and self-destructive alter-ego.

  • @TheLedzep007 ...LZ are my fave band ever. Bonham is a monster drummer, brilliant and inventive, but Peart is a better technical and creative drummer. I love both drummers, you really shouldn`t be asking who is the best rock drummer! The question is "do you like rock?"

  • Mereçe todas as doses !

  • @TheLedzep007 u must be on drugs neil is god

  • @giggabyt78 Neil is nothing to Bonham.

  • Luv the way John takes the tyme to fine tune the snare after the R Plant introduction

  • My friends, zep played 5 nights, not easy to do , due to their style! (AWESOME BY THE WAY), zep didnt bow down to their home land, england never took zep with open arms like THE U.S!

  • @TheLedzep007 who the fuck are you to say anything? They were ALL the best.. Not just my favorite John Henry.. If any of them died the band would have stopped.. John Is my favorite drummer and my favorite influence just like a lot of other fellow drummers.. But i was just saying.. If he wasnt piss wasted during this concert this solo would have been better..

    And ya your right the band would suck if i was in it.. but at least they would have you as a groupie sucking them off ya fag

  • @beeterolds He was piss wasted during every show...

  • you know that Les Paul's worth £400,000 and thats without the money that would be added on from it being owned by jimmy page :D

  • too bad he was drunk as hell when he played this.. it coulda turned out a lot better..

  • sorry, but he sucked.

  • @RJiminez51 rofls. better not say that to any drummers they will probably shoot you : P. he was godly. Go listen to "Achilles last stand".

  • @RJiminez51 what the hell is wrong with you. you absolutely dumb asshole if you could do a fraction of what he does then maybe someone might listen to you.

  • i wish he was my dad ;(

  • He earned the craft of essence. He was able to play loud, hard, soft/loud/ and all in between. My question is, He was a bricklayer by trade. How did he come to this talent? No training? Wow. Of course I am trying to perceive the gap between bricklayer and awesome timekeeper.

  • the cool thing about him was he SOUNDED heavy but he didn't bash.Listen to that touch!

  • I thought Keith Moon had a big set.

  • @Highvoltage1997 he did, john has a pretty small set, besides the 2 giant timpani its really a standard rock set

  • Is this on cd or dvd somewhere?

  • John Bonham aint dead, Jesus wanted some Drum lessons

  • John Bonham is one of my favourite ever drummers, but there are others alive today who are worth taking note of. Danny Carey for one.

  • if john bonham died because god wanted drum lessons then why the hell is jimmy page still alive? wait, plz god do not take him

  • Just the best!!!

  • WOW! A drum solo, how original!

  • @drnapls2 you're an idiot

  • Respond to this video... 

  • the reason why john bonham died is that god wanted drum lessons

  • @frunkenduck reason hendrix dies was god wanted guitar lessons

  • the reason why john bonham died is that god wanted drum lessons

  • the reason john boham died is that god wanted drum lessons

  • My friend and I were debating on who's a better drummer. My friend Won.

  • Hammer of The Gods in action

  • @oriondrums2 what are you smokin

  • How's about Bonham and Neil jammin' out together?? I can always fantasize.....:)

  • NEIL PEART IS A BIT BETTER!

  • @oriondrums2 jajaajajaajajajajajajaajajajaa­jajajaajajaaa

  • @oriondrums2 :/

  • oh god.. 9:36 the devil is gazing us!

  • 29 people need to get bitch smacked by Jason...

  • Jonesy never misses a note =D

  • Jesus Christ, Page sounds AWFUL. What a slob on the guitar at that point

  • 29 sailers got eatin by mobby dick

    (the sailers are the fuckers who missed the like button)

  • Let the drums talk ! :)

  • thumbs up if you make really stupid faces when you try to copy what he just played

    drummers unite!

  • Did John have a drum tech or did he put it all together on his own?

  • my ears always melt by hearing Bonzo soloing! there is no doubt that he was, is, and will be the best drumer ever. i just hope he is always remembered. JOHN BONHAM ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • john bonham was 25 when this was recorded, think of what he accomplished in 10 years of drumming with Zep ? he defined rock drumming, his signature sound has made the biggest impact in drum history, every engineer that ever mic'd a kit wanted to get the mojo that came off of Bonham...imagine what he would be like today ?

  • The Studio version of (DO WHAT YOU LIKE) BLIND FAITH blows this clean out of the water

  • @sebastiansap2003 im pretty shure that infernos drum solo (Behemoth) blows both of these solos clean out of the water but im not saying anything....

  • @screamoisonmymind you're nuts...there is no drummer in rock that was as dynamic as John Bonham, except Keith Moon, and Moon didn't solo (except during every song)...no odrummer has matched the feel, the rhythm, and the dynamism of this solo, it can't be done !

    )...

  • jason bonham is a lucky kid

  • DRUM RULZ

  • John we miss you RIP!

  • I think this must have been Jimmy's smack phase,played well below his normal high standard

  • John Henry Bonham Is God. Enough Said.

  • @TheDug0 yes

  • God Bless John Bonham

  • This Is Legend

  • John bonham was and are the best drummer all time no one will catch him NEWER

  • @007kashmir havin some trouble spellin are we?

  • @billco73

    balls on accurate

    haha

    mitch mitchell is my vote!

  • I don`t need no Hd-Tv even the sound is great like THIS

  • I'm a drummer and I wish I had a fraction of the skill bonham had, he's just fucking awesome, everytime I hear his solos I jizz involuntarily in my pants, and have to smoke a cig afterward.

  • Comment removed

  • Sorry, this was not that good.

  • I had a Vistalite set back in the seventies too. Worst sounding drum set ever although John's snare was always spot on perfect. Ludwig with a Remo and perfect tune. Sounds great.

    Jon is one of the worlds best drummers.

  • This was in a time where music still made the song.

  • Viajei muito ! Led Zeppelin é foda ! J.H. Bonham é foda ! E como diria Ozzy: Who the fuck is Justin Bieber ? Long life to rock 'n' roll \m/

  • From a day when drum solos were just as good as guitar solos.

  • Bomham 4 ever. R.I.P.

  • Oh mon Dieu ! Je suis amoureuse ! :)♥

  • ive always wondered why there arent that many drum solos in the rock world. now i realize that its because noone wanted to insult him

  • One of a kind!

  • Za mene je John Bonham je najbolji bubnjar na svijetu!!!!!!!

  • John Bonham's drum solo is sex to your ears!

  • @billco73 haha you must be a guitar player

  • what is that supposed to mean??

  • @billco73 No, it would be a LOT better if the drum solo was twice as long!

  • @SouthSideDummer actually theres a movie of that concert and it is about 15-20 minutes long! lmao

  • @johnknar It's a movie of a different concert and that one was only 8ish minutes long.

  • @Calibersz really, mb different movies idk

  • not to mention his perfect meter, not many drummers can solo and click the Hi Hats in time, I wish every drummer in the world would watch this and at least take notice of how drums are to be played.

  • Bonzo hits those drums like the Romans whipped Jesus

  • Tht's the definition of the word "music"

  • Interesting. Almost no cymbal action at all.

  • J.H.BONHAM is the best drummer ever and no one will catch him , never !

  • @Parano666D You are absolutely accurate in that analogy my friend.

  • @karl1dg I say just the truth,nothing more.

  • @Parano666D keith moon :)

  • @cubiirc Keith is great but he is 4fun for the master Bonham.Listen (since ive been loving you ) and you will understand.

  • @Parano666D you should see some videos of neil peart he rivals bonham

  • @oriondrums2 I have seen.He is great , nothing more.

  • @Parano666D fanboy

  • @billybobs309 dickhead.

  • @Parano666D haaa.. im just trolling you, he was an amazing drummer and we may never see anyone that good again

  • @billybobs309 Yeah thats true :),sorry for that then,my friend.

  • @Parano666D Agree, but I think Carl Palmer was better. Bonham is one of the best of the best though, no question.

  • @RichieEastside Bonham gave many things to music.his playing ownes,he was playing jazz into hard riffs and many other amazing teqniques that no1 never made.Please listen (since ive been loving you-dazed and confused)and you will understand:)

  • @Parano666D

    Mick Fleetwood is the best drummer of all time

  • @coochykilla no his not, his good but not as good as john

  • @coochykilla NO WAY !!!!!

  • Who said you can't be technical playing matched grip?!!Bonzo proved that theory is crap! John Bonham's the man!

  • he's not 8

  • @wackytabacky44 his kid is

  • @wackytabacky44 his kid was at that time

  • his kid was at that time

  • 27 people cant play drums for SHIT!!!!!!

  • Great comination of jazz and rock drumming. And he played with his bare hands. Also great snare control playing matched grip. Not easy if u r a REAL drummer. Bonzo was a man among boys. He was one strong MF.

  • This is definitely not the best example of the moby dick solo. In some of them though, he can't be matched, he is the drum god. I make a daily sacrifice of a calf to his holy power.

  • @MrTooz3 I'm not knocking Johns skill or Zeppelins sound as a whole at all, in fact In My Time Of Dying is my favorite Zeppelin song. But I watched this video then right after I watched Dennis Chambers solo at the China Club, then came back and watched this video again and feel that Chambers would beat the shit out of John Bonham in a drum off. 2 different techniques and 2 different styles I get it, but I feel like Dennis is better, sorry...by the way Dennis uses one foot most of the time

  • @nahmeanyaheard24

    who the fuck is dennis?

  • @nahmeanyaheard24 Still not on point. Here's the difference, there is a "Bonham sound" - you know it when you hear it. It lags on the beat just a bit, on purpose and still in the pocket, it exudes "SEX". There is no "Chambers sound" - it is standard gifted jazz drummer - I am not knocking Dennis. But I could not tell without looking whether it was Chambers or say Rayford Griffin. Moon, Mitchell, Baker, Peart, on and on - all great rock drummers. But in the end

    BONZO RULES ALL ROCK DRUMMERS!!!

  • @MrTooz3 i am in no way saying moon is a better drummer, but he also had a very distinct and unorthodox sound. and baker has a sound most of the time too

  • @Chazone27 Agreed, I was debating with @nahmeanyaheard24 on "sound", and who would win a "drum off". To what context? So and so can't play Bonham better than Bonham in Zep, no different than for Moon/Who, Baker/Cream, Mitchell/Experience, or Peart/Rush. They are all great and there is no "best drummer". It is their sound that helped make their bands great and them legends.

    But I also say BONZO RULES ALL ROCK DRUMMERS! I did not say "best", just that he is the epitomy of "rock drummer"!

  • @nahmeanyaheard24 a drum off ? That shows that you do not understand a percussionists role is in the format of a rock band . Its about embellishing the songs , and if other drummers would understand that , then someday Bonham will have an equal in the rock game

  • dennis chambers would have shat all over bonzo in 75

  • @nahmeanyaheard24 People will still know and love Bonzo in 3075 and people will still say who the fuck is Dennis Chambers.

  • @nahmeanyaheard24 That's BS, for starters Dennis isn't the right "type" of drummer for Zep and certainly doesn't play with the power of Bonham. You miss the point of Bonham's genius and that HIS sound is a key part of the Zep sound. You couldn't put Moon, Baker, Mitchel, Peart, or Chambers, and on and on in his place and still have Zep. When he died, so did the band - enough said! And he only needed ONE foot for his monster bass triplets, seems Chambers uses two. BONZO RULES ALL ROCK DRUMMERS!

  • 26 pessoas ouvem Justin Biber :)

  • I remmember once at my school, a retarded told me ''Travis Barker Owns All Your Gay Drummers''....

  • EARGASMUUUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hmm........moby dick? somethings not right

  • Real not a drum machine.

  • Bonzo had it all: the legendary right foot, powerful dynamics, unbelievable groove, ghost notes from hell, passionate soulful playing, great hand speed, triplets, cross- overs, awesome stamina, deep pocket, and on and on....A one-of-a-kind genius the likes of which this world will (sadly) never see again. RIP John, you are dearly missed.....

  • Thumbs up if you couldn't remove your eyes from your screen for 10 minutes

  • to get that kind of speed WITHOUT using a traditional grip is just AMAZING!!!

    One of a kind for sure!!!!

  • One of the greatest rock drummers to have ever lived. He had it all, independence, speed, amazing musicality, and some of the most thunderous groove ever to be witnessed. One of my main influences and idols early and today. Ohhh how I wish he was still alive !! BUT, to all those who say greatest please stop. There is no greatest . What you guys need to do is check out Tony Williams, Buddy Rich, BILLY COBHAM (who was drumming circles around everyone in the 70's). And that's the short list.

  • No spinnig kit or lights or costumes just pure fucking thunder!!

  • MUSIC
