I have nothing but respect for Zeppelin choosing to break up after their buddy *Bonzo's* death. I think more bands should be like that. I mean, yeah, truly, they could've found a great drummer to replace him, quickly, but the *pure* Led Zeppelin chemistry just would *NOT* have been there. One change in the mix (any) can take away that chemistry completely. Like that! Respect to Zeppelin!

I disagree COMPLETELY. Lead vocalists are often impossible to replace but DEFINITELY not the drummer nor the guitarist. Yes, he was a fantastic drummer BUT for those of us who don't have this absurd and ridiculous adoration for drummers and don't focus on the drumming we would hardly notice the difference if they replaced him and on top of that we wouldn't care. To take it a notch further even the guitarists, piano players, backup vocals can be EASILY replaced and we wouldn't even notice they were gone if we didn't see their faces. FLAT OUT most of us focus TOTALLY on the lead singer. If you put in an excellent guitarist and drummer we wouldn't hardly notice the difference and again, we wouldn't care. I notice a lot of drummers make this absurd comment about John being unreplaceable but that's just stupid talk to a non drummer. We come to listen to the SINGER, the rest of if can be manufactured by anyone competent.

Sure it is easy to replace a drummer ... but it is impossible to replace a man who was like a brother, and that is why the band broke up. They were beyond devastated, especially Robert. It isn't that they were "full of themselves" as someone on here so foolishly stated, or that they couldn't succeed musically with a replacement... it's that they couldn't do it emotionally. It wasn't about money or fame, or the future success of Led Zeppelin. Robert had already endured so much tragedy prior to Bonham's death, which had to be like the straw that broke the camel's back ... and I can understand why. Bonzo and Robert were best friends since childhood, and there was a very strong bond of love and loyalty there ... it would have been too painful. With that off my chest, this clip made my eyes well up.

Very sad and tragic story. His son is trying to carry on... bless him.

That was so beautifully stated. I started playing in 1965. My family was dirt poor. I bought my own kit in 1975. I grew up with their music. I am also an offbeat drummer so picking up on the subtleties of John Bonham was pretty easy. However, it is not a planned stroke, it just happens, so imitation is literally impossible. You are so right about his skills. Some can get close, but those of us that can, hold a very deep respect, and a very special place in our hearts. He played with his soul.

Even 30 something years later he is still rated as the best off beat percussionists to walk this planet ! ~RIP~BONZO~

Man you just don't find musicians like John anymore! He was the ONLY guy who could stand out like he did with Led Zeppelin. They were a team and it just wouldn't have been "as good" without John. And, he's still my favorite drummer!

John Bonham was the greatest most inventive spot on drummer the world has ever seen. original in his playing, powerful and totally into his craft - The moment i heard of his passing was the moment I knew Zep were finished, a sad loss for the musical world and the army of Zep fans. God rest him easy x

Moon right there with him.

This is really a heart breaking story. John Bonham was the only drummer who could get that sound and who shined so big and the driving force that made Led Zeppelin so very great. As much as I wanted Led Zeppelin to continue making awesome music, I understood that nobody could've ever fill BONZO's shoes. It's so sad that he lost his life at such a young age as have many in my family. R.I.P. BONZO you were the best!

The fact that the band split when John died shows that they were a truly united band. Each of them was vital, each of them was extremely important, and they united each other. On another note, I'm incredibly grateful for the music that we did get with Led Zeppelin before it ended.

If cell phones were around back in the 70's. He would have gotten one and call his family every single day.

" who else would I need for a drummer than Bonzo? " deep words. Robert seemed to love Bonzo very much

tremendous talent that left us WAY too early !!

What a sad story. I had always assumed John died a typical "Rock 'n' Roll death" of excess, instead he was just drinking to cope with being seperated from his family all the time. I highly respect the other members of LZ to never even try to replace Bonzo and carry on, as so many other bands have done. It's just never quite the same. They only ever "reunited" for a couple of gigs and most of them were with John's son as the drummer.

@MichaelGiordano777

They couldn't replace John. He could keep up with Jimmy Page on lead guitar. He was just as important to the band as the lead singer and guitarist. He could run circles around both of them on a drunk night. How do you replace a musician/drummer like that? You can't. That is why they threw in the towel. Listen to any LZ song and the first thing that impresses you is the incredible playing of John on the drums. Everything else comes after that. That is what you hear and identify first. Everyone else in the band was just icing on the cake. Better than the WHO drummer.

I think with a lot of muscians that are on the road a lot, they get off on the audience but once that performance is over and they are on the plane or road, they start missing home and their families. It is very sad. What a blow to Led Zepplin fans, the family, and John.

I think it's a real stretch to say that "Carmine Appice could have done the gig". There was, and never will be, a "replacement" for Bonzo. Period. End of ridiculously stupid discussion. The best drummers in the world, who may be vastly more technically versed, can't play like he did. The feel was uniquely Bonham, and that's why he is so highly respected by even the most virtuosic drummers. He inspired me to start playing drums 30 years ago and remains an inspiration to this day. In fact, trying to play like Bonham (and failing) led me to find my own unique style.

I was crushed when he died. I had worshiped Led Zeppelin throughout grade school and high school and had tickets to finally see Led Zeppelin live. Bonham died 30 days before that show. They are so right about what a close knit band this was. One of my favorite scenes in the Song Remains the Same is when they show John Paul Jones and John Bonham working together in the background while Jimmy is playing guitar. Bonham misses one of the beats and John Paul Jones looks at him and smiles. Bonham shrugs and then hits the next beat and they both smile at each other and keep on playing. It's a great example of the teamwork of Jones and Bonham in the background. Watch at 5:40 into dazed and confused. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWbu9BrY7vck84.html

"Drunk", that's a broad definition, there's different scales of drunkenness. Somebody who had drunk 4 or 5 pints of beer wouldn't have a high chance of dying. Millions of us do that on most weekends. But somebody like Bonham, who had consumed 40 shots of vodka in a short space of time, really would be in danger.

He might have left the building, but he (and his mates) left us a massive musical heir.

Bonzo is the reason why I've wanted to become a drummer and why I love the drums. Rest In Peace Bonzo. May your beautiful drumming live on in not only in Led Zeppelin, but in all our hearts

Sadly, the band lost it's heartbeat. I can still remember the day they announced his passing. Still brings a tear.

I still miss him. One of the world's all time greatest drummers.

Hes the greatest drummer to ever live, you cant replace that ..,

I’m moved every time I hear him play. Certain figures and fills that have such power and imagination- always retaining a tight pocket and time that is fierce. This band was such a special thing for me as a young player, now that I’m not young I love it even more.

Even if John hadn't died when he did, Zep calling it quits at the end of the seventies is really what I think cemented them as the "greatest band of all time". It surrounds the group with a kind of mystique that intrigues people to this day. I believe this is why their reunion shows were surrounded by so much excitement, because they were a band who had quit in their prime and let the hype that was already around the group grow and grow until it took on a life of it's own. Had all four members decided to carry on making music together through the 80's and 90's people probably would have lost interest and left them behind like they did the other hard rock acts of the seventies. The same original lineup of Foghat, who had sold out football stadiums in the seventies, were reduced to playing state fairs to crowds of 200 people or less by the time the nineties rolled around, even before the deaths of Lonesome Dave and Rod Price. Call me whatever names you want, but had Led Zeppelin survived and carried on, I believe they would have suffered the same fate. Of course this is all hearsay, and for all the people who are most assuredly going to take this the wrong way, NO I am not happy that John died and NO I am not saying that his death is what made them what they are today. Just saying hypothetically that had he not died, the four of them deciding to dissolve the band after In Through The Out Door and move on to other projects would have been a good move. But again, it's all hearsay as we'll never know for sure.

And i KNOW I'm not paraphrasing!! Jesus, man, if you're gonna make a stupid post at least own it. it's not like you're anonymous on the internet or did you think this is a 12 step program?!!

+Sharon Zamarka I will state one more time, you are confusing me with someone else, I thought I had a unique avatar and I've not seen another boat on top of an amplifier. I repeat I have never said that about Bonzo, I'm a huge Zep fan and I wish he lived longer, in fact I had tickets to the 1980 show in Chicago that never happened!!!

That would have been so gross had john bonham spontaneously combusted whilst playing the drums man you're one sick puppy lol.

Love to watch this because it shows what the band was to one another, yet it always makes me cry.

I miss him I love his drumming It taught me a lot of stuff

O MAIOR DOS MAIORES, E O MELHOR DOS MELHORES BATERISTAS DE TODOS OS TEMPOS, ATÉ HOJE DEIXA MUITA SAUDADE, GRANDE BONHAM.

Freddie Mercury, John Bonham, Jimmy Hendrix and James Jamerson, rock and rolling the heavens now. Definitely, God's favourite band now. Rest in peace legends

You really couldn't ask for a better Rock Drummer.

The "Autumn Moon" is lighting your way Robert. It's time to "Ramble On". Thanks for the memories. ^5
