Hold on. Stewart might have forgotten meeting Jason and where… but no way he forgot about meeting John. The matrix would never allow such an impossibly. I can feel the third dimension ripping apart just thinking about it…..
This is in a book by Bonham’s brother ( if I recall correctly) - Bonham complimented Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland; who were very gracious and appreciative. Sting; on the other hand; gave him the brush- off; being a bit arrogant. When a family member complained to Bonzo about Sting’s diss; Bonham let it slide - ‘ We were exactly the same when we started out; cocky and arrogant. Let him enjoy it’- or something to that effect.
It must be difficult for a lead singer and principal songwriter like Sting to keep themselves grounded as the main focus is on them and the sings they've written.
It’s hard for people who don’t play drums to understand the impact and importance Bonzo had on future drummers. I started playing at 8 yrs old in 75. Bonzo became my entire world as i learned. I’m 56 now and still love Zeppelin just as much as back then.
I never did have the opportunity to meet with he late Mr. John Bonham. However, the manner in which he spoke to an up-and-coming band proves to me that he was not only immensely talented but he was humble enough to recognise and encourage others. 💯
I'm basically just an amateur player but I've met quite a few "jazz stars" during the last 40 years. That tends to happen when you play festivals and such. Or when somebody is sick or drunk or whatever, and you still need personel in the band. Not sure I would remember all of them on the spot, honestly.
@@herrbonk3635 I used to go to a very tiny local comedy club when I was very young in Dayton Ohio. I saw a young comedian there at least a dozen times and it was never a big deal to me then. That young comedian was Dave Chappelle.
@bradsanders407 No, he didn't. You insipid creature. When Robert was touring behind his first solo Lp (with Robbie Blunt playing guitar), he gave an interview to Seattle's KISW radio station; and he was talking about how well Phil Collins worked out on that album. Then he was asked about the music John had been listening to in 1980, when Zeppelin were doing that short European tour Dortmund, Munich, Brussels, etc. Robert then said that John had been giving high praise to the Police w/ Stewart Copeland, and Rush w/ Neil Peart.
lol I went to basic training with some kid who was a fanatic about Neil and we almost got into a fight because apparently I mispronounced Neil’s last name 😂😂😂
2 of the best. John Bonham had unique style, was a powerhouse and had great class. Bless him forever. Stewart Copeland is a lefty. I love his unique style. Always on point. So cool to see both their musical careers unfold in my lifetime. What could be better.
@lyndoncmp5751 I didn't say he did. But it's been said, when he drank he became a bit wild and rowdy. Staying out all night, fighting, and I believe sleeping with groupies. Which he did only when drunk. As opposed to Page and Plant who slept with groupies no matter what.
New drummers? In 1980 Rush were almost at their peak, Van Halen had several albums out, and the police were well known. I’m pretty sure Bonham had an opinion on them and knew who they were.
No one even knew who RUSH was before the release of 2112, released April 1st, 1976. Van Halen l was released on February 10th, 1979.., so yes, these drummers were relatively new on the scene in 1980.
Four years is a long enough time to know a band. Led zeps entire existence was 10 years. Four is almost half of that. Of course they knew Rush.@@phatbackbeat6553
According to Mick Bonham’s book (Mucj was John’s brother), John Bonham was indeed a fan of The Police and singled out Stewart’s drumming. This was also noted in the famous Led Zeppelin book, “Hammer of the Gods”.
J. Bonham was one of the 'old lot' that understood and liked punk music. He probably disliked some of the personalities though and I cant blame him to be fair
It's a fact Led Zep hung out at the London Roxy in 1976 and cursed Rat Scabies saying something like, "I play for 2 + 3 hours and this F*** only plays for 30 mins!
Best singer....maybe. until Freddie showed up. Best bassist? Jpj is fantastic. But there are a few other great bassists. Entwistle. Macca. Jamerson. Lee. Flea. Claypool that might be just as good or better. Guitar players equal to Page? So many great ones. But better is tough there. Van Halen and Rhodes come to mind as being equals. Bonham on drums was one my favorites too. He combined power drumming with incredible technical abilities and groove. Carl Palmer is faster and has more technical abilities. But doesn't groove like Bonzo. So many others like Bozio, Gadd, Moon, Mitchell, etc. As great as those guys are, none of them got me as into the groove as much as Bonzo. To me he was the best.
In the biography I read, sting was quite a prick to J Bonham when he introduced himself after the show. according to the biographer, the only thing Sting said to J Bonham was, “Stay off of my blue suede shoes.” The new, punk wave at that time regarded Zeppelin as dinosaurs and were very disrespectful.
John Bonham and Neil Peart were two of my all-time favorite drummers. Bonham, of course, was a one-man powerhouse, and Peart, with his immense creativity, was rock's answer to Buddy Rich. Stewart Copeland is also a talented drummer, but his playing style is subtle and restrained and not as appealing to me, although he ironically was a heavy influence on Peart.
Have you listened to Copeland playing, for example, Next to you, Landlord, Fall out, Peanuts, No time this time, Truth his everybody, Synchronicity, Omega man, Rehumanize yourself, Dead end job, Nothing achieving, On any other day, It'salright for you, Visions of the night, Friends, Bombs away, The other way of stopping, A sermon, Flexible strategies...? I'm not saying he was the greatest rock drummer, but he could play and did play rock. To say his style was "restrained", doesn't seem to me to be totally accurate, "subtle" yes, many times, as one can hear that on most tracks (to name just a few: Shambelle, Bed's too big..., Driven to tears, Every little..., Don't stand...--particularly the beginning, So lonely, Spirits..., One world..., Walking on the moon, I burn for you, I burn for you, wrapped around your finger, Dark nes, and the very impressive ending to Voices inside my head --after the Shah, shah, shah...). Copeland was very creative too, no wonder another creative drmmer like Peart found inspiration in him, don't forget that Peart was a very openminded drummer, always eager to learn. I can aee a glimpse of Copeland's influence on Peart in Rush's Vital signs, for example.
on this occasion, I read that he accidentally knocked against Sting in the overcrowded backstage room, and Sting said something along the line of "hey man, don't step on my blue suede shoes" to which Bonham, ever eloquent, replied. "I'll step on your fucking head in a minute" I read this decades ago in Kerrang back when J Bonham had his own outfit (superb single) and was being interviewed for the mag. He said that his old man only really went because he (jason) was into The Police.
Its a big mistake!!! Who likes Police was the Bonham sister not Jason!!!! And Stewart actually didnt remember that this really happened... That history is revealed in Bonham biography with details... Correct the vídeo... Is completely wrong...
Copeland was averse to Bonham’s drumming for a long time. His style is very different from Bonham’s. He’s much more like Mitch Mitchell. His drumming is kinetic and frenetic. Bonham’s was generally more groove-oriented.
I don't really think of them as a new generation of drummers. It's been a minute, but... Pert, Copland, and Van Halen were all around 4 years younger than Bonham. Pert joined Rush after the band had released its debut but had 5 studio and a triple live album out before Bonham passed. LZ and Van Halen were labelmates of sorts and had 2 outstanding releases before Bonham's death.
I would be more interested in what they all think of the modern day extreme death metal drummers from bands like Archspire, Infant Annihilator, and others.
Copeland said "that Little bastard had chops!" about Joey Jordison. He would without a doubt like Aaron Kitcher, believe it or not that shit's right up his alley.
You leave Stewie out of it. We all know Peter & Lois are the worst parents. Courtney Cox is one of the Copelands & grew up in luxury in Alabama in the mountainous forested area south of Birmingham, where the white elites live. Some people are Nepo-babies & keep it deep cover. She got to dance with Bruce, got a journeyman job on Family Ties, got Ace Ventura and the Friends $ just kept on rolling. Granted, she is easy on the eyes in her prime. But getting your foot in the door is half the effort.
Her and her brother I guess were talented. Duo obviously wrote some great songs regardless if it’s not your genre of choice, but that’s as far as I’m going aren’t we talking about John Bonham? Not ready to put more than one or two other people in the discussion and Karen certainly isn’t one of them
@@marramamberta321 Thank You. I will assume that you are being authentic? If not, no big deal her and her brother were definitely good songwriters and talented….. I certainly don’t like to denigrate the dead and like I always say it’s subjective but without being cruel, we’re talking about John Bonham and the mighty Led Zeppelin. I could be rude, but I believe they both passed away at about 3233 something like that? But let’s not …well before I say that , I will ask because anybody taking this serious? I am a music junkie have a vast collection of Vinyl always, original pressed autographs collectibles I love Led Zeppelin, The Stones, GNR greatest frontman ever greatest band for five years from 88 to 93 never saw anything like that, but I wouldn’t say that drama was OK. Let’s end this. John Bingham is the greatest drummer ever. I’ll give you Karen Carpenter I’ll give you ginger Baker. I’ll give you Eddie Van Halen. I’ll give you anyone you want the Led Zeppelin break up due to his death. They didn’t think anybody else could do it iconic. It’s a wrap.
He also isn't picking up what Jimmy is putting down after a few shows in Summer 1980. Distribution mates Back in Black lp slapping faces, so someone can sell loud guitar besides Van Halen, must have been intimidating. The Pretenders album... formidible.
That is what the Eagle’s song “New Kid in Town” is really about. Being replaced in the hearts of fans as they move on to other bands and trends. The town bicycle in that song is a metaphor for fame/the machine. The other people are the fans. Billy Joel’s “The Entertainer” is not a good song by any means. But it has a legit message to all upcoming musicians and should be listened to carefully. Look at Mastodon! Their last album was a bloated mess and that was 2020. Think anyone under 15 wants to become a new fan? Full disclosure I love them. But where they’ve been? They need a new strategy fast. Or they’ll be another can of beans
I'm not sure about this. JPJ said Bonham didn't care for reggae music and refused to play D'yer Mak'er the way it was written and said it ruined the song for him. So it seems a little odd that Bonham would dig The Police who were essentially a reggae band at the beginning. Bonzo was also known to be pretty competitive in terms of how he stacked up with other drummers of the time. Hard to imagine him being overly friendly with an upstart like Copeland who played in a style he didn't much care for. But what do I know...
Danny is obviously a legend but this vid is talking about the generation of drummers who dominated the 80s. Danny didn’t come onto the scene until the 90s.
Who knows he could have been under the influence at the time of the meeting.... I mean I would have been but that's me.... Give Stewart a break... For that matter he very well could have been under the influence in a completely sober way from the adrenaline and the excitement of playing in front of a live audience will give you one hell if a high all by itself......
Jason Bonham's Story, is just that; a Story. Stewart's like; "Oh yeah, now I remember, that Loud Guy on the Ludwig Kit; I remember Him now." WTF? This is known as "Familiar Spirits" in Scripture, or Bullocks in Jason's Face...
Sorry but The Police Drummer doesnt even compare to a massive powerful legendary drummer that was Bonham . Ya gotta remember when Ghost in the machgine came out, that drum sound & style was not typical or traditional. It was thin & set in the background imo. While Bonham was the entire foundation of a song
How can anyone forget ever meeting John Bonham?!
He forgot meeting Jason, allegedly. Of course it is UA-cam so the whole story could be BS
Probably blacked out.
you gotta be Steward Copeland to do that..😂😂
Hold on. Stewart might have forgotten meeting Jason and where… but no way he forgot about meeting John. The matrix would never allow such an impossibly. I can feel the third dimension ripping apart just thinking about it…..
Maybe he just didn't like Bonham as much as everybody thought
This is in a book by Bonham’s brother ( if I recall correctly) - Bonham complimented Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland; who were very gracious and appreciative. Sting; on the other hand; gave him the brush- off; being a bit arrogant. When a family member complained to Bonzo about Sting’s diss; Bonham let it slide - ‘ We were exactly the same when we started out; cocky and arrogant. Let him enjoy it’- or something to that effect.
Not only Sting was arrogant, he also mistreated his band members, at least Andy. You can see this in some of the videos.
It must be difficult for a lead singer and principal songwriter like Sting to keep themselves grounded as the main focus is on them and the sings they've written.
Sting's a puss

But Copeland said in an interview that sting is not arrogant at all?

John Bonham was around for all those drummers.
It would be amazing to hear where John Bonham would have gone with his drumming had he stayed.
At the time of Bonham's death, these bands already each had a few albums out.
Yeah, Rush were already six albums deep before Bonham died.
2 of the best. John Bonham had unique style, was a powerhouse and had great class. Bless him forever.
Stewart Copeland is a lefty. I love his unique style. Always on point. So cool to see both their musical careers unfold in my lifetime. What could be better.
Yeah, well, he might be a lefty, but he plays "right hand" drums, so the question is: how good could he be if he actually played left hand drums?
Neil was hardly new and incoming in 1980. He was touring with Rush for a very long time by then
Not really. Five years.
John Bonham was a good family man
Except when he drank
He was a hard working man.

Who knows he could have been under the influence at the time of the meeting.... I mean I would have been but that's me....
Give Stewart a break... For that matter he very well could have been under the influence in a completely sober way from the adrenaline and the excitement of playing in front of a live audience will give you one hell if a high all by itself......
The NEW GENERATION OF DRUMMERS?! All you listed are OLD GENERATION DRUMEERS!!! Alex VH, 😢 Copeland and Peart all came on the scene in the 1970s
Yea was too "star struck" to remember
..riiight
Of course he would remember.
"....and Alex Van Halen....."
Lol give me a break.
Drugs are a powerful thing
Stewart must’ve been having a manic episode or under the influence lol
You didn't really mention Alex Van Halen in this group did you friend ?
Stink, er, sting.
Jason Bonham's Story, is just that; a Story. Stewart's like; "Oh yeah, now I remember, that Loud Guy on the Ludwig Kit; I remember Him now." WTF? This is known as "Familiar Spirits" in Scripture, or Bullocks in Jason's Face...
I completely forgot that I met God once. He was a cool dude.
This is very suspicious, im left Kenfused.
Mostruos
Bonzo
Alex VanHalen couldn't wipe any of these drummers asses
Truth
In your stupid opinion
Correct
Yep
Fact
Neal Peart was around the same time as bottom. Pete???
I heard from somewhere that Stewart said John couldn't swing a sack of sh_t. Meaning he wasn't any good at playing the swing feel
That was Ginger Baker who said that about John Bonham. Stewart never said that about John. He loved Bonham’s playing.
@@classicrockproductions oh, I thought it was Stewart. Thanks
Bonham was 3 and a half years older than Copeland, hardly a different generation. Different playing style though.
Wow. Stuart ia a Monster ❤. Impossible j bohan Dont like him playing...
Cool story
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🎉
He must have not been into zeppelin don't remember 😮wtf
Sorry but The Police Drummer doesnt even compare to a massive powerful legendary drummer that was Bonham . Ya gotta remember when Ghost in the machgine came out, that drum sound & style was not typical or traditional. It was thin & set in the background imo. While Bonham was the entire foundation of a song
Yeah sure
Alex is not even remotely in the same league as the other drummers mentioned in this clip.
