bontreux Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have noticed there are very few interviews with Bonzo. As a drummer this is kind of a bummer. I was wondering if the reason why I can't find more interviews is because they are somewhere hidden, or he has in fact avoided them and only made a couple. I only know three, one in 1970, one in 1980 and one with Roy Carr, which I don't know the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONZOLED942 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Steve, for their career span, that really is only a few. I had read somewhere that Bonham was frustrated at times during press conferences because he was not asked any questions being just the drummer to many peoples eyes.

I've got "The Zap in Zep" in my scrapbook and he is complaining about the British press and their treatment of Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bontreux Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thank you very much Steve. I'll look them up. I'm really trying to get all the information out of him.

Drummers are always left behind in a band haha. people don't realize they're the ones that keep everything going. The worse thing is that the lack of interviews make it very hard to find out Bonham's secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bontreux Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 How do you think Jonesy feels?! Hahaha good point. I was watching the O2 interviews and JPJ simply stopped listening to the questions since none of them were for him... at one point he just says he wasn't listening at all. Definitely one of the most underrated and overlooked musicians ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
