I can't believe we missed September 25th on this thread?! :-( 33 years and counting - we miss you brother! One of my favorite episodes of his life: ''John Bonham struck up a friendship with a fellow drummer who lived nearby called Garry Allcock,who may have had some influence on John's drumming......Allcock recalls: I never gave him lessons as such I didnt teach him at all but wed sit in the front room with sticks and a practice pad and Id show him a few things. It was just a case of: do you know this one? I remember him playing on one of my snare drums and me saying, 'For Christ-sakes

I do,used ones mostly. New releases are too expensive for my budget,they're about 20+€ here and I earn about 450€ per month,regular job+giggin' with the band. So,buying used is quite common,with few exceptions here and there.

Age-mate!

Windblast blasting outside! :/ No f..g power since 5 pm! :0 Yeah,and a local radio via cell... Some ol' blues on the air!

Probably Cozy and I think they would sound wild with him. Songs? Again-wild!Different but raw and wild.He was such a personality,very much like Bonzo. I guess he'd fit almost perfectly if he had the chance. Then again,I'm glad they've done what IMO was very honest and respectfull decision - they drew the line! ...So It Shall Be Done! Cheers! :beer-up:

@ wp 100000 Ok buddy,I'll post the link on forums,though I'm not gonna sign the petition because of my personal point of view on the subject. Anyway,best of luck!

I totally agree,cheers!

Here you can read additional info provided by Bonzo's friend & long-time roadie Mick Hinton. Almost everything explained : www.led-zeppelin.org/joomla/biographies/118 Though he did use to do some damping on occasion-depending on accoustics of the venue/recording studio, there was no 'rule' about it.

'Listen to that Duquesne whistle blowing, Sounding like she's on a final run…' Latest Dylan album is a whopper!

For Your Life is a quite groovy and fits my mood any time but when I need relief I call for Achilles! Great album anyway!

@ Melcórë Whenever Led Zeppelin is caught plagiarizing, even if other people have plagiarized from the same song(s) ? "Thieves of the highest order!" One word - jealousy! Doesn't need practicing to become 'force of habit' - it' natural born,evergrowing menace!

Yeah,saw that right after posting but couldn't edit my message. Damn phones...

That's why Jones/Bonham style is recognized as 'tight but loose'. Playing before/behind the beat doesn't mean inaccurate playing as long as a drummer/bassist keeps it steady before/behind the beat. IMO playing in that manner gives more 'spacy' feeling of the song,it just 'breaths' more naturally.

Thanx and have fun reading on Halloween night - boyz & girlz! \m/
