Honestly, why does it have to be 'the greatest of all time' open your mind, man. Bonham was a good drummer that deserved reverence at time of his death, but his skills are well over-exaggerated.

This thread however, is silly. It's revering an overrated rock drummer 30 years after his death when thousands of equally amazing drummers still living are doing amazing things. People need to give these guys the time of day.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
