John Bonham Moby Dick

[deanleventis04]

JOHN BONHAM PLAYIN MOBY DICK FORREAL!!!

[archologyzero]

I've seen this video some hundred times in its entirety, but what always amazed me, beyond the energy, is the AIR that bonham has in his hiHAT - 1:25 just look at that. Amazing.

[frozenyoghurtify]

i actually thought for a long time keith moon was the best drummer ever to live, and i think deep inside i still do.. But i allways loved bonham, he allways went insane on the few drums he actually had to play on lol

[theonlydishes1]

this makes me want to do dirty things

[alienlama8]

JOHN BONHAM IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter what you rap dips say, this staff actually takes SKILL rather then just talking really fast.

[yesterdaze114]

i'd like to get all the people who listen to lil wayne together and "torture them" with some real music that actually takes skill...R.I.P JHB

[shre14never]

This was classic. Nothing can come close.

[westernkusagi]

151 people like to suck moby DICK

[90DAdmin]

Moby Dick brought me here

[christianverardidawg]

thumbs up if you think bonham is the best drummer of his generation

[chronicod4]

lord of the drums

[yesterdaze114]

greatest drummer who ever lived...absolutley puts every drummer out there to shame

[TheRealMaaqee]

@yesterdaze114 gene krupa , buddy rich , steve gadd, elvin jones .... theres other genres u kno ..

[ItalianBandit]

I'm always scared my solos sound lame.....

[AlexRyassky]

В Англии этот человек стал примеров для подражания, а в России стучал бы на ведрах в метро и на улицах.

[MRguitarman8]

Good solo, but I have to disagree with some of the comments about John Bonham being the number 1 drummer. I think that Neil Peart and possibly Keith Moon are better drummers but that is just my opinion. ROCK ON!

[HermanTheNinja]

#1 drummer of all time

[MrMollusk7]

@HermanTheNinja Hey! But what about-

...

I got nothing.

[ShadowArchon11]

I am so glad that, when I was young (3-7 years old), my dad played led zep, ac/dc, the beatles and such like all the time, and i grew to love rock. I'm 13.

[XxForeverxMetal]

@ShadowArchon11 no one cares

[BrandonSYou]

@XxForeverxMetal Then why the F are you even checking on a vid of the BEST rock band to ever exist! Metal is real talent right?

[nifur1]

Drummer number 1 !

[AussieDrummer1]

hey, zeppelin and bonahm have been a massive influence on me and my band, check my new band out, we're called ELEVEN:ELEVEN Just search youtube "1111 a million miles" or "dancing in the fire"

Anyway CHECK US OUT

[VirtualSkateboarding]

@AussieDrummer1 A video of the greatest drummer of all time is not a place to market your shitty garage band.

[BrandonSYou]

@VirtualSkateboarding Dude why are there So many negative commenters such as yourself on Youtube? Who cares if he talks of himself? He's relating to Zep cause they're inspirational! Ass!

[lucasjustinbumlixo]

Simplesmente o melhor!

[vegabonzo73]

I'm watching and have watched this video on DVD numerous times, and still walk away in amazement at what he's doing. I don't know how he's doing it, and it makes me want to just toss my drums down into a pit of fire and give up.

[vedderfan94]

“John Henry Bonham is hands down the greatest rock drummer of all time. His sound, technique, musicianship, groove, and feel have never been duplicated. No-one comes close today and probably nobody ever will.” - Chad Smith

[PGames98]

Ufff... it was a long travel, but i finally reached heaven!

[christschinwon]

Who has else has YT Bonham & got "Bingham" FFS!!!! Aside from that, no Ringo, no Bonham, no Bonham, no McBrain!!!!! Thank the fuck for all musicians everywhere!

[48mmwatch]

the sound is sublime

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

lol whitney houston died in her own vomit pool too!

happy valentines 2012

and happy mardi gras ;)

[RuNN1nF1RESt0rM]

Dammmmmmmmmn that was awesome this is why I am a drummer right here

[biggdaps]

Ooooahh this solo just makes me happy....

[fanneypalsd]

Best drummer in the world without a doubt!

[UmaineCH]

I don't care about the whole Moon vs. Bonham vs. Peart thing but how can someone say they dislike this with a straight face?

[flamethrower211]

hammer of the gods.

[MrSos10000]

leg



[vedderfan94]

some kid on a rush video just told me that danny carye (tool drummer lmao) is better than bonham, and that carey apparently has done more for drumming than bonham ever did. i dont want to live on this planet anymore.

[cassavelli]

with keith moon the best drummer

[ghoawaynetcabo]

Get outta the damn way Page!!!

[deredab]

Quit playing with yer dick, Bonham.

[Ignore14]

John Bonham might have 99 problems but his groove ain't one.

[MyDrummerjoe]

that is the phhaaatttest snare sound ever!!! so sick!!!!

[darrencohan]

Bonham was the best. You just wish you could play like them

[beatleboy9020001]

great drumming. man 1980 was a tough year, lennon, john bohnam and bon scott all died

[sybyly]

@beatleboy9020001

and lovely peter sellers.

[beatleboy9020001]

@sybyly

i was keeping it in terms of music but yea him too

[sybyly]

@beatleboy9020001

did you never hear "goodness gracious me"? and his cover of "she loves you"?

[beatleboy9020001]

@sybyly

i cant say i have

[sybyly]

@beatleboy9020001

then youtube is made for you.  :o)

[Cola96K]

@beatleboy9020001 So a gig in heaven could be played

[cesarspain10]

@beatleboy9020001 i think the same



[Jesteuce]

@beatleboy9020001 The year the gods fell. OH WHY!??!?! :'(

[andrijajarak]

Moder of God!

[efatron]

best dead drummer among alive

[zlotmaster]

the best guitarist, drummer, singer, bassist(maybe no.2), band EVER!

[ToughestMilkman]

@zlotmaster unfortunately Zeppelin have ripped off most of their riffs from old blues greats. One of THE most overrated bands ever!

[swiftmachine1515]

jesus may possess strong enough feet to walk on water, but he sure can't play triplets on his right foot. R.I.P. Bonham, teach jesus how to rock. >:D

[Cincinnatus1869]

i wonder what Bonzo would think if he knew he would posthumously become the drummer for a million rappers ?

[MrDRUMERROCK]

para mi es el mejor baterista y lo seguira siendo y es el que a influido mas en los bateristas de ahora como jordison chad neil peart y muchos mas !!!!!!!!!!!!que viva el rock cabrones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keytonez]

He has totally listened to the solos of the jazz great of his time. Just the intro was something that Max Roach would do. He is definitely influenced by guys like Max, Art and I bet Tony and Buddy as well...

[Json80s]

John Bonham is the best drummer ever in my opinion. It´s amzing how some people are

so ignorant that still think Joey Jordison is better than this guy.

[blonikcool]

really AMAZING

[zAubler]

That was AMAZING

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@Rickation ikr! WE (as in our generation) need to change the music industry.

[zlotmaster]

I agree, our fucked up generation screwed the musical teased very much, being a rock guitarist I'm disappointed in today's musical world. :(

[Asolovieff38]

@zlotmaster There's still some good music out there though, it just takes some time discovering it

[whitzip001]

@zlotmaster Being a rock drummer I must agree with you.

[999N0t3str34k]

im glad john is dead. he deserved it :)

[Terfew]

@999N0t3str34k ...

[jonagwoo]

@999N0t3str34k fucking insecure troll

[Stiletto92]

@999N0t3str34k that was such a pathetic attempt at trolling, i think you need more practise

[magnetar28]

@Stiletto92

[An0n3mu55]

@999N0t3str34k Strange how the good die young whilst you're still alive.

[NolikargAven]

Hes a good soloist,but not a creative time keeper like Neil is.i think we all agree on that.

[MimrodSponge]

Orgasm... Every single time I watch it...

[zrudis]

Can't deny. He's the best!

[rokhank]

other drummers try to play the drums in a particular tune......

everything that John Bonham plays is a tune.

God we miss him.



[doal92]

NEEDS MOAR COWBELL!!

[lakesidegreg1]

It's so true when they say they make it look easy...the beats flow out of him like water.

[Kolaps0]

John Bonham eh FODAAA

Led Zeppelin ate a Mortee !!!!!

[nashnbash]

*troll lol nice try man

[Ramstripe72]

Bad ass

[jgeorgel]

i'm am know trole. listened: this guy pert is just okaye. nothngi speceil.

[cmorris3rd]

I have played the same drums as him

[maryjaneclurricane]

still god

[jgeorgel]

all thank for you comet. this man this bomhan is not like moore anvance drummers of today. he's plat is very very basic. good for 60's but not now. their are better. who? jordison, the rev, and that guy from drgaonforced?

[Mcezz606]

@jgeorgel could be the greatest troll of all time lul

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

Umm if you were that good at 8 - 12, why do we not see you on t.v.?

[ter50]

although i prefer Ian Paice, John is and will be one of the best

[stevorulzdaworld]

omg! this sucks! justin bieber is better!

jokes i have ears. fucking retards thinking bieber is the best. best my ass.

john bonham was a gift to the world. he was called for a gig in heaven so had to leave.

no but seriously, john bonham was amazing. and jason (his son) gives out joy to anyone that misses john bonham.

[adamnk81]

@stevorulzdaworld ya u betteer be joking lol. 

[benlittleisadon111]

@stevorulzdaworld for a second then i thought you were serious ?!?!

[jetfreak4]

@stevorulzdaworld THere wouldn't be a justin bieber without john bonham. Mentioning them even in the same sentence is just downright offensive.

[tmkennedy17]

@stevorulzdaworld - Hells yeah. IMO, Johnny B. Was the most bad ass drummer ever, ahead of his time.....

[ToughestMilkman]

@tmkennedy17 yeah ahead of his time? might want to search Youtube for Mitch Mitchell to see how original Bonham was.

[zpearce27]

@stevorulzdaworld who the fuck relates bieber to bonham anyway? thats just a really stupid random thing to say on your part. but I do agree haha

[ghoawaynetcabo]

@zpearce27 I agree more with you. Mentioning that stupid name in every video that is actually good, is becoming absolutely ridiculous. Who the fuck even remembers that name while watching this video?!? A reason or a relation never even exist! It's just fkn stupid

[modernfrontier]

@stevorulzdaworld nobody watching this has ever given a second thought to justin bieber. be grateful you know this level of musical brilliance exists, because most kids will never know that true artists exist. rock and roll was always about the music and not the money!

P.S. THOSE DAMN TRIPLETS AT THE END BLOW ME AWAY EVERY TIME!

[nekoninaritaisu31]

言葉じゃ言えないほどうまい。神だ。

[MaliciousDefacement]

You go Bonham, u show those modern gay boy bands whos da boss. I'm 13 years old, and i believe in real music. R.I.P John Henry Bonham

[jgeorgel]

i just say this man this john bomhan isn't not that good a dummer. all his play are simpleistic sloppy drumsing. bad, and basic. me? i bin doing this well befofe when i was small. maybe 8 or 7 maybe even 12.

[Diesel415]

@jgeorgel as the saying goes, "put up or shut up".

[lukostelloe1]

@jgeorgel and i is just saying this that you is not good english have all are words are wrong

[EmilBariaas]

@jgeorgel please post a video so we all can see how 'good' you are. when you talk like you do, you really should put up. or as Diesel415 says; shut up.

[Diesel415]

Ah... the days when syncopation meant more than rapid fire double bass pedal use.

[plasmaglotze1]

JOHN BONHAM + LUDWIG KILLER SET = THE WORLD'S BEST PERFORMANCE

RIP John

[jgeorgel]

this man this bomhan is not that good as you pepole make him out to be. overratted. so so very overatted.

[EmilBariaas]

@jgeorgel why do you watch Bonham videos if you dont like him? find something better to do. I'd like to se play like him. sug kukk og dø jæva sengevæter!

[Nevarrus]

"Neil Peart is a soulless technique robot"

Woah ah ah. Slow down. Bonham is one of the absolute best, but so is Peart. His drumwork is just mindblowing, and Rush is probably the most 'legitimate' band that is still creating the music they want to do and not some commercial radio-pop.

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@Nevarrus Totally agree with you.

[rpsmith014]

@Nevarrus Hello, I can see how you may have misinterpreted my quote. I don't mean souless as in "he's the devil" I mean he doesn't play with "soul". I simply meant that when I watch Neil Peart play I don't see the excitement and energy that I love to see in a drummer. He just looks stiff and bored most of the time. He is a fantastic drummer but just not my style.

[Nevarrus]

@rpsmith014 Well, Peart does indeed look very.. 'bored' or concentrated when he plays, that's just a fact. But, his drumming in itself is certainly quite some poetry! Whilest Bonham and he have way different approaches and sound, they're both legends.

[rpsmith014]

@Nevarrus We can agree on that. Peart's drumming is incredible but I just don't like watching him perform. BTW, my favorite live drumming of Bonham I've found so far is We're Gonna Groove from this same venue. He's just incredible.

[jdinpt36]

Needs more cowbell...

[757bnasty]

John Bonham didn't die, he just turned into Chuck Norris

[EPI6fingers]

Alex van halen does solos with his hands also. So whats your point. Alex van halen is still a better drummer.

[alexshoward]

one of the 5 best drummers ever.

[NoNameAvailable875]

Ok... But anyway. WHAT IS HERE SO EXCEPTIONAL in this drum solo???????????????

[grandanoke007]

John is a sane explanation abt gravity.. newton would get soooo piiiissssed!

[DinnenG]

John Bonham > Neil Peart

[ferdalizer1297]

He's good but I just think he's overrated

[Mcezz606]

@ferdalizer1297 hes changed the way people drumed in rock music / heavy metal its not just his technical ability that made him good.

[rpsmith014]

@ferdalizer1297 You just don't know why he's good.

[TheJosephlevine]

He is faster with 1 hand then I am playing quads with all 4 limbs xD

[EPI6fingers]

Jetfreak4 what are you a dreamer? You must be. To even concider john bomham better than Alex van halen or neil peart is simply retardation in my view.

[giaffir34]

@EPI6fingers thats your view because you dont even know teqnique concept, ÿou dont even know innovation concept. thats your problem. ..and thats what will make you say thta john bonham cant be better than van halen or neil peart.

[Zombieman27]

@giaffir34 neil had amazing technique and hes one of the most creative musicians of all time. i never really cared for alex tho so...

[rpsmith014]

@EPI6fingers You don't know what makes a good drummer. Neil Peart is a soulless technique robot.

[TheDrummingUnicorn]

@rpsmith014 Bonham probably influenced rock and basically all of modern music as we know it to the point where, if we didn't have this man, rock probably wouldn't be the same. Maybe non-existant. Anyways, I measure this man's significance to Gandhi. Seriously.

[EPI6fingers]

Alex van halen is much better than john bonham period end of story.

[Ironbound95]

Amazing one a kind and creative drummer, im a massive fan of the old school drummers, any one like Bill Ward?

[EPI6fingers]

Like i said bonhams playing is annoying and boreing period. John bonham better than Alex van halen? Thats not even close to any truth. And you can bet on that.

[jetfreak4]

@EPI6fingers Annoying and boring? lmao. Alex Van Halen used more equipment than Bonzo did to achieve his sound. Alex Van Halen even with both his feet combined couldn't match Bonzo's right foot. Nor could he match Bonzo's creativity.

[vedderfan94]

@EPI6fingers Please shut the fuck up. You know nothing about drumming. Drumming isn't about speed or technicality or how many bass drum notes you can hit in a minure ffs. It's about playing with groove and feel and soul, and John Bonham is easily the greatest drummer of all time.

[EPI6fingers]

Ledsandman you need to go watch some Alex van halen vidio's and i dont mean just one or two eathier. Bonham plays the same shit over and over and over again to were he becomes annoying. Alex van halen puts 4 to 5 differnt styles in his drumming Alex=#1

[jetfreak4]

@EPI6fingers Playing the same thing over and over again? No way. He does crossovers, one handed rolls, hand-drumming...Bonzo is anything but repetitive. He never played the same Moby Dick twice.

[EPI6fingers]

Zedchild this solo is Annoying its the same dam thing over and over and over again. Im so grateful theres Alex Van halen and neil peart.

[LedSandman]

@EPI6fingers AvH can't compete with JB. He is not playing 'the same damn thing' over and over. Yes he is using lots of triplets, but that was his thing and he plays all sorts of triplets. You should watch some other videos of Bohnam, to see how good he was.

[jetfreak4]

@EPI6fingers Neil Peart and Alex Van Halen are smoked by Ian Paice and John Bonham. Neil Peart couldn't play a different version of O'Baterista if he tried. He has great technique, but no variance to his solos. There's nothing but speculation to say that Bonzo couldn't have played with their skills, because he's been dead for 30 years. Neil Peart also doesn't have Bonzo's feet...he uses a double-kick. I've heard Alex...he's very good, but to call him the best is nuts.

[RJHB13]

@jetfreak4 and u are...¿GOD?



[JORDANBAUMER]

@jetfreak4 neil couldnt play as drunk as bonzo would either, ian paice is just on whole a other level when drumming

[geddprattlerxst]

@jetfreak4 Neil actually played a mostly improvised solo on the last tour... get your facts right

[jetfreak4]

@geddprattlerxst

When was the last tour that you're talking about? Even if he did, was it different every single night?

[geddprattlerxst]

@jetfreak4 Time Machine. And yes it was every night

[jetfreak4]

@geddprattlerxst That's the first time I've ever heard of him improvising like that...I doubt the degree of difference was on the level Bonzo varied his playing.

[LoZfan95]

@EPI6fingers You pick up a pair of sticks, play this note for note while drinking tea, reading a newspaper, and CASUALLY smoking a cigar. Then, I might take your opinion more seriously.

[rpsmith014]

@EPI6fingers Also there is like 12 more minutes of this solo that isn't shown in this upload, so to say that he plays the same shit over and over is just plain wrong. This is just the prelude, wait until he drops the sticks and beats the hell out of his drums with his hands, look up the full version of this solo. 

[ZedChildFTW]

This guy is so skilled it's insane

[colourfulwithaU]

Of course, the beginning of this solo is just a rockified version of Max Roach's "The Drum Also Waltzes". This solo gets pretty sweet. Definitely better than the album version.

[noconflictbanana]

If any dick mentions Travis Barker here i swear i will ... Oh wait nvm..

[Kruelwanderer911]

Can Anyone tell me what year this was? RIP Bonzo.

[VeritasAequitas33]

@Kruelwanderer911

1970 at the Royal Albert Hall

[Kruelwanderer911]

@VeritasAequitas33 thanks mang! btw Boondock saints ftw

[thearcticwombats]

in the pocket

[ballistic6666]

1:54 electric shock him!

[comandos222]

BONZO isn t dead he just teaching God to play drums.



[TheVisionskate]

He is a killa drummer beast :D

[conor9042]

[JmListener]

Awesome!!!!!

[zombieholokaust]

[cibersonics]

[IAmTheLawNr1]
