Dallas Knebs Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 whomp, bash, crash, bang business to me doesn't indicate musicality or power... what I see in Jason is his ability to play it straight and have a sense on what NOT to play more than leaning toward over playing. This was Grohl's audition and the phone didn't ring afterwards. Jason's phone rang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DewieCox Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looks like you and I are the only ones that get it! Jason Bonham has come a long way, but he isn't in the same league as David Grohl! As far as copping John Bonham, Grohl isn't in his league. Grohl doesn't even really belong in the conversation of best rock drummers ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm sorry, you guys are wrong. Jason pulled off the O2, but that doesn't make him better than Grohl. Have any of you seen Them Crooked Vultures or Queens Of The Stone Age live? Grohl does so much more on a kit than Jason. Many of you say Grohl just wallops, well a young John Bonham walloped too. Just watch the Danish TV footage. In that footage you'll see John exagerrating his snare hits, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JM48D8nSpk This video says it all! Just listen to the snare fills! Jason can't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 This shows how simple and complex Grohl's drumming can be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was Grohl's audition and the phone didn't ring afterwards. Jason's phone rang. Really? Bonham did the very same thing on the Danish TV footage! Jason's phone rang because he was the only drummer that had a chance, and that's because of his LAST NAME. Plant wouldn't have done it with any drummer other than Jason. That doesn't mean JAson is the best drummer out there either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 All the great drummers showed off their drumming talent - Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, John Bonham, Mitch Mitchell, David Grohl, etc., etc. Did doing that indicate none of them have "musicality?"

Amstel Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I thought I was biased with everything in regards to Led Zeppelin - I can see that isn't the case. You people watch one show of Jason Bonham drumming (O2), and think he's the second coming He isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I don't think he is, personally, but he did a great job at that show. Grohl is just NOT right for Zeppelin - I thought that was the point to this thread? If it is just a who is a better drummer thread, well there is some personal taste involved in that. So you can't call everyone else wrong for that. I'm not a Grohl fan, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1fan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Of course people will say Jason on here. I prefer Dave, but both of them or good drummers not the best by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewieCox Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If we're talking all out ability, Grohl is better without a doubt. I thought we were talking for Zeppelin. If Jason is gonna do his homework on the old Zeppelin material, live and studio than he is the man for the job. To me he proved that he was up to the task the O2 show. Besides that, if we're looking for somebody with similar style to Bonzo, outside the Bonham family, Grohl shouldn't be in the conversation. He has the skill, but he has too much rock and not enough roll. He'd be great for the more straight up Zeppelin tunes, but I've never heard anything from him that shows he can handle the more subtle tunes. I'm sure with some direction he'd be up for the job, but Jason doesn't need direction. I still think Steve Gorman(mentioned on page 1) would be the absolute best choice, including a studied up Jason. Listen to his drumming and Live at the Greek and that was pretty early on for Page and the Crowes. That guys just got that style down pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Dounim Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I mostly say Grohl is great because I've been listening to ALOT of unofficial Nirvana concerts lately and his playing is very heavy and well coordinated, he's clearly always enjoying what he's doing, and he manages to hold songs together if Kurt was ever "not totally on it". Plus his drumming on all the Tenacious D albums is great too! Don't get me wrong, I like Jason too, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
