The drummer for Led Zeppelin. He was the greatest drummer in rock
music and he is still better than such wannabe pretenders as Neil Peart (who is massively overrated) and Travis Barker (who should never be allowed to play music, ever). Bonham almost single-handedly (although with help from Carmine Appice) created the stereotype of the loud
rock drummer, played brutal, pounding beats and amazing triplet-
based fills with a lightning right foot.
He is missed.
John Bonham was the
genius behind "When the Levee Breaks," "Achilles Last Stand," and "Moby Dick" (the
real, live kind, not the patched-together
crap on Led Zeppelin II).
