Because while it wasn't very long John made a very good point. At the time music was changing from being about image (which dominated late 50's and 60's pop culture-it's where the idea of music and image intertwined really began to gel into commodity form) to being more about the music. Zeppelin were known just as much for their substance as they were for their style (and substances). Plus they actually toured. The Beatles image took over so much they couldn't go anywhere and gave up touring years before breaking up. So essentially you have a very astute observation made at a time when musicians weren't known for making such. Hence why it's great.

Bonham was right. Music was changing at that time. It wasn't about being able to whistle a cute melody. It was about watching and listening to new music being played. They had a vision of electrified blues and a heavier rock. The first time I heard Led Zep I & Led Zep II. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

The Beatles only played 30 minutes because the sound equipment available as late as '66 was insufficient to allow them to hear themselves over the screaming girls (or for anyone else to hear them.) They couldn't tell if they were in tune, or in time with one another. They hated it and that's why they gave up touring, despite making tons of money from it. In '63, prior to the #1 records and the screaming girls, they were considered the best live rock & roll band in Britain. No one was "going to see them just to look at them" at that time. Listen to the '69 rooftop performance - they were still a great live band.

From the 21st century, on the of the things that stands out about Zeppelin's music as compared to "heavy" peers like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath is Page's pop sensibility and his endless supply of memorable melodies (and counter melodies woven throughout the arrangements). Credit probably also due to John Paul Jones in for some of this. True that In 1970, hummable melodies weren't as front and center in many of Page's songs as they would be for the rest of their career, but even this early, "Your Time Is Gonna Come" and "Ramble On" are insanely catchy pop songs that just happen to have heavy drums and guitar mixed in. Funny how hot takes from 1970 look today--"will you guys still be around in 8 years?" The interviewer is basically asking if Zeppelin's music will endure after the screaming teenaged fans of 1970 are gone...errr, yes--yes, this music will endure, for 8 years, and almost certainly for at 800 years.

You can tell what great friends Plant and Bonham were by their interaction.

Got my Dad to buy a cheap second hand drum kit after hearing Zep. I was 14. Now I'm 51 and still think Bonham was the man. I still play for a band and am astonished at his bass drum technique. He made Zep sound huge. Some of his breaks are epic, Achilles Last Stand being a drum favourite. RIP Bonham, you inspired millions of us.

Remember the first time hearing John Bonham, whom I worshipped for like 8 years, SPEAK for the first time. I almost fell out of bed! Bonzo, had been gone over 18 years at that point, but I could feel the 'vibrations' of his voice on my transistor radio, and I kept my hand there. It was really cool, and something I'll probably remember for the rest of my life

This is why Led Zeppelin was amazing; because it was about the music and not about fame.

Still dark out but my speakers 🔊 were have a miserable go of it. Next came Presence and so on...........making our way through Georgia. I kept looking upward as the thunder of John and ZEPPLIN played on. It was his playing that got me to become a drummer. R.I.P. and man could you ever play a drum kit. Thank you for your contribution to history and the sound of ZEPPLIN......the balloon ride was f..king amazing.

TheMetalVagabond Delgado is right. Hendrix didn't influence Zeppelin, American blues did. Regardless, there comes from time to time, a band or a musician that changes the present course of music with a totally original style. In the past 100 years there have been a few...Elvis, Glen Miller, The Beatles, Hendrix, Black Sabbath, and a few more but none have had the same impact as Zeppelin....and who ever started rap... and it was Bonham's beats that the pioneers of rap used early on. From black's in the south singing the blues to Zeppelin to rap it came full circle.

Led zeppelin were certainly game changers. they came along in the 70s and blew everybody out of the water much in the same way elvis did in the 50s. while i love other bands like the stones, the who, pink floyd, the doors, arerosmith, guns n roses and van halen, zeppelin is the top of the heap for me along with elvis. it does my heart good to know robert plant is such an admirer of elvis and has spoken in interviews of the impact elvis had on him at an early age and of meeting elvis while on tour with zeppelin. the greatest rock band + elvis = awesome

I love the way that musicians of that era took their music so seriously but were modest and self effacing about it. So articulate. Intelligent. Manners. No trying to be sweary " Im in with the kids yobbo speak" . No dropped "T"s with a London street accent. Christ that really was the golden age. Boomers.. you were soooo lucky to have them young.
