Passes out. Chokes on own vomit, never to be heard from again. ROCK 'N ROLL!!!!! Say hi to John Bonham for me.

Moon was better and can never be imitated.

*runs to corner of room to watch the moon vs bonham comments*

Moon was better. He was doing all of this stuff before Bonham.

I totally agree, John Bonham was a totally amazing drummer and his untimely death was such a loss to music; as were the early deaths of Marc Bolan and Jimi Hendrix. I would love to have heard how their music evolved.

There are few drummers in the world that can compare to John Bonham, one of those few is Neil Peart of the Canadian rock legends RUSH. There was a article a few years back in Rolling Stone magazine which listed him as number 4 (Bonham was number 1!!). I think Keith Moon was second, although I don't know why. Peart is far better!! I can't remember who was third.

Thank you for this Oritteropo! Keep the beat mate!

oritteropo Sifted the first video I saw of Polyphonics *related=https://videosift.com/video/What-Makes-John-Bonham-Such-a-Good-Drummer when I got deep in and finally Sifted this one... That's a great one too.

Alone in the category of overrated drummers who prize technical ability and a massive kit over groove and feel.

Give me John Bonham any day. Or even Dave Grohl.

Hell, I'd rather have Animal!

The girl in the back right is properly channeling John Bonham.

Just as a dissenting opinion, I have to say I'm really not a fan of Peart. Yeah, he's an incredible technician, but for me he lacks the groove of Bonham or Buddy Rich.

OTOH, Rushs music bores me to tears (I hate that vocalist) so maybe I'd enjoy him more with a different band.

Peart, Terry Bozzio, Ginger Baker and Kieth Moon have always been my favorites for sheer energy in execution, improvisation, and texture. John Bonham was fun to listen to and watch, too. Surprisingly, I sat mesmerized by Charlie Watts at this show in 79' in Dallas where the band was Page, Clapton, and Beck all jamming with Entwistle on bass and Watts on drums. He looks like a tax collector sitting there but busts out an incredible envelop of rhythm with the precision of a Swiss timepiece on a minimalist kit.

Oh, it stars Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter? You don't say.

*promote the majestic Zep at their finest. Mystic Jimmy, Golden God Robert, Maniac Bonham and the silent one - all legends.

Actually, I have to say Freddie had a reasonably profound effect on my world view. When I discovered he was gay, I was a typically bigoted ignorant young teenage male (the fact that I didn't realise he was gay probably tells you as much as you need to know about me at that age).
I only found out he was "a queer" when he died, but I'd always thought his voice and music were epic. It forced to re-evaluate my stereo-typed view of the world, which lead to a number of important epiphanies in my life.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I'm wrong, I hope he's up there jamming with Hendrix, John Bonham and John Entwistle.
