John Bonham RIP

~~Spiritinthesky~~ · 09-25-2011, 01:07 AM

Sept 25th 1980, John Bonham, drummer with Led Zeppelin, died aged 32 after a heavy drinking session. ‘Bonzo’ was found dead at guitarists Jimmy Page's house of what was described as asphyxiation, after inhaling his own vomit after excessive vodka consumption, (40 shots in 4 hours). During live sets his drum solo, ‘Moby Dick,’ would often last for half an hour and regularly featured his use of his bare hands.

Who do you consider to be one of the best, or is one of your favorite drummers, other than Bonham JP?

I'm just curious, and thought that I would ask.

My favorite drummer is Liebezeit, but... as for the best... I don't really feel qualified in stating who that might be.

Yea, I had a look at some of his previous posts, and there was quite a lot of spam. I don't understand how he got this far.

let's be honest here folks.... how many people are going to celebrate his life by drinking to it?... show of hands.

that is like the people who leave cigarettes at Bill Hicks grave, or booze at Jim Morrisons... missing the point, but oh well... if I were homeless I would steal the booze, smokes and drugs left there.... so at least somebody is happy.
