John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
“best drummer from the best band”
“Absolutely an INCREDIBLE drummer, certainly deserves to be at #1. No one gave a band a better feel or "groove" like John Bonham. He knew how to play drums and he knew HOW to play drums, always.”
“him and Kieth moon are so much better than anyone else on this list. avenge sevenfold can kiss my butt
”
“two words
MOBY DICK”
“best drummer ever keith moon is good but i think bohnam is better the list should go bohnam moon peart”
“have you ever seen a drummer in fast forward!!!!!!!see master bonham
”
“John Henry Bonham was the greatest and most influential rock drummer that ever lived. In every major drumming publication Bonham is ranked, hands down, the #1 rock drummer of all time, and in fact, is now neck and neck with Buddy Rich, as the greatest drummer (any genre), of all time. As nine out of ten rock drummers that worship Bonham will tell you, this is a no brainer.”
“He not only plays good, he plays hard. In fact, he plays so hard that after Moby Dick, his hands were bleeding.”
“Bonham no only showed great technique, but also became one with his music; his soul went into his solos. His drums were also tuned perfectly. No doubt that he and morello were the two best drummers of all time!”
“Bonzo had a small drumset compared to Pert, yet Bonzo still is better. Bonzo is defintly the best drummer.”
“an amazing drummer listen to moby dick that is a sweet solo
bonham rocks
”
“Power & speed. Listen to Moby Dick and/or Kashmir. It`s fantastic.”
“John Bonham, greatest drummer, and ultimate partier. John Henry Bonham was and still is the best drummer in the world. He was able to use four drumsticks and could improvise whenever needed. Also he was the key ingredient for most of Led Zeppelin's songs and just plain Led Zeppelin.”
“MOBY DICK MANN CMON!
”
“BEST DRUMMER THAT EVER LIVED. MY IDOL. SO AMAZING. LED ZEPPELIN. YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“come on who the heck are those two yahoos ahead of bonham, i mean bonzo was and still is the king have you forgot, let's get john bonham where he belongs.... right at the the very top”
“John Henry Bonham. The three most important words in all of music. The moment one listens to Moby Dick live, they will realize that they are listening to a god. He could play with four sticks or no sticks and still be the greatest. He played the drums with a passion and skill that put all imitators to shame. Because you can't imitate John Bonham: you can only revere him.”
“john is the best drummer ever, no questions asked”
“Bonham is god in human form. His right foot was super human he was louder than thunder, played with so much passion, solos lasting 30minutes long! super fast wrists, his hands made of steel, hew was much louder with his hands then his sticks! :|
R.i.p Bonzo
#1 greatest drummer to have ever lived and still 2day!”
“BONZO R.I.P
BEST 4 EVER&EVER”
“his solo in Moby Dick by far the best ever in rock n roll.
”
“hows Bonham Not first in this list, he invented snap drumming and used two styles of drumming in his time, as well as battering his kit with his hands. as Joey Jordison told me a few years back "that guy is a god"”
“I see a lot of people mention Moby Dick, but as a drummer, that's about number 99 on my list of why Bonham is great.
The measure of a drummer is NOT how fast one can play, or what kind of cool cross-sticking one can do, or any of that showboat crap. It's about the songs. The drummer's job is to support and drive the songs. And no one has ever done it as well as Bonzo. For example, any drummer who can read can proably sight-play Kashmir. There are no monster chops or anything that would look cool on a video. But.. it.. f'ing.. grooves. There is just no other way to put it. For a guy who was such a monster player, his greatest asset was a genius sense of touch.”
“three words describe john bonham the best: MOBIE DICK SOLO”
“Moby Dick, All my love, Kashmir every zep song had drums that could beat anything by anyone”
“Bonzo is underated due to the time frame. Bonzo is the loudest,fastest with most funk to his play. Again and Again in a rock polls Bonzon is 1, Peart 2 and Moon 3. No questions about it but underated is Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Expierence.-”
“john bonham is the best ever.”
“Bonham should be #1. Ginger Baker should be on the list. Ulrich shouln't.”
“Thank you! That's what John Bonham's best at - groove. Nobody notices that anymore, the most important thing for a drummer to do. And the best part is, no one can do it better than Bonzo.
Oh, his fills and solos rock too.”
“The Greatest Drummer of all time. He had perfect rhythm with all the songs he played with the band. If you had seen the dvd you would believe me when I say that no one will ever drum as good as he did. Anyone looking to enhance their drumming skills should be listening to Led Zeppelin.”
“hes awesome he stole the shows in concerts hes number two besides rick allen (def leppard) he rocked”
“this is ferdz del rosario, also a drummer of a punk band known as RDA of the Philippines, for me john Bonham is the greatest drummer of all time since he influenced almost all rock musicians worldwide from the 70s up to this modern times. The saddest part is he died early”
“HE IS THE BEST EVER
”
“the best drummer in my opinion
”
“Just watch Bonzo and you'll know what I mean. should be #1 on this list.”
“Oh my god, John Bonham is in a completely different class than Neil Peart. All Neil did was making himself look better at the expense of the rest of his band. Whenever I listen to Rush, I am not blown away by Neil but Alex Lifeson. I think the only rock drummer that is remotely close to John is Keith Moon. FOr those of you that think that John is the best just because of Moby Dick think again. The way he kept the band together with his drums is amazing. Listen to the drums in Achilles last stand, it always blows me away. The fact that he was in easily the best band ever also ups his reputation.”
“John Bonham is the greatest rock n roll drummer ever, period.”
“he's the man!”
“john bohnam is the best ddrummer of all time and he deserves to be brought back to life by jesus hey neil pert RUSH SUCKS”
“I love led zeppelin and I am goin to ther concert wit my friend peach he is the man and so is john bonham the best drummer ever”
“John Bonham is the greatest drummer in history period. he is better than neil pert because although neil pert is fast an everything, bonham has timing an never misses a beat. its like listening to a metronome doing a drum solo. listen to moby dick, the high hat is moving up and down the whole song, and is never out of beat. he is the greatest, and should be ahead of pert
”
“he's a genius just listen to moby dick!”
“Most of his songs look simple but they all are impossible to replicate. He's just the all time best in the all time best band - Led Zeppelin”
“PRobaly the most underrated drummer ever. They say neil peart was better, but look at his set. anyone could do amazing with like 40 drums and cumbals and 4 bass drums John bohnam had 1 pedal, and he had that kind of speed on the bass. listen closely to his songs and yll c how fast he is. RIP John we miss u.
o and I completely hate this list. its bad enough that bonzo is 3rd, but some of the best are really low. Keith moon 12th? thats insulting. this guy was a genius and should be up in the top 5 at least! thats even a little low 4 him. then theres buddy rich 18th. this guy was amazing. he INVENTED he drum solo. listen 2 him and c what I mean. Phil collins is 33rd and thats just pathetic. he can sing and drum amazingly at the same time. can that japanise guy do that? and then theres rick allen whos 44th. sure his beats rnt like the rest of these guys but he has 1 arm. he should be in the top ten just 4 that. id like 2 c all these guys play with 1 arm. and this is the worst ginger baker is 43rd. that makes me want 2 puke! ugh you people don't know drumming you just like metal. and y are joey jordison, shinya that japanise guy and chad sexton in the top ten? they don't belong there! ugh heres what the top ten should be
