Tadpole in a Jar Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Me and my friends saw Bonham in 1989 or `90. We were standing near the front, and all of a sudden I wasn't sure if a fight had broken out or a most pit had started, but all of a sudden I was being knocked this way and that. When I finally got my footing back I turned around and my friend was standing there with a drum stick in his hand and a look of shock and said, "I got it." Another guy said, "You better put that away before somebody fights you for it!" I hadn't even seen Jason throw it! I hope my friend still has that.

reids Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Thanks for posting your photos and sharing. I met Jason in April of 1997 in Columbia, SC. He was drumming with his band (JBB). I talked with him, Tony (his guitarist) and John Smithson (bass/keys) a good bit after their show. A friend's band opened for them that night (at Rockafella's, a great local venue, which is now another place). Jason talked about his tatoo on his arm (three circles and told us what his dad said about the meaning of it). Jason, as expected, was a great guy. We talked for about 30 or 40 minutes afterwards, John Smithson and Tony were both really cool to us as well. John and I even had some mutual friends in S. Africa (small world).

Alessandra Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 ... I love this one... The stories told and the photos posted on this site of the fans really show that all Zeppelin members are modest and now I'm so desperate to see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusting4jimmy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 As I left, I noticed that my knees were knocking a little bit and I was feeling a light headed sensation. Strange, I've met lots of rock stars, but never a Led Zeppelin member. I wasn't ever that bothered when I my my biggest drumming idol, Carl Palmer. They are all just people after all, but having Jason drop JPJ's name in conversation as if he were just talking to him in the other room was a bit a of a shock!!

peppermint Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I would love to meet him, and find out about what his dad was like, what he remembers of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I would love to meet him, and find out about what his dad was like, what he remembers of him. Jason was a factory rider for Kawasaki in 1980. He placed second in the British Junior National Championships (motorcross racing). Many of his memories involve going to the scrambles with Bonzo. He also said his father came into his room in the middle of the night and asked him to promise he'd carry on playing the drums if something should happen. Bonzo died that same week. Don't flame me, JASON is the one who said this. (Source: interview in 'Kerrang! May 1990 issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
