    When Led Zeppelin played two concerts at Knebworth Stadium in England back in the summer of 1979, "Big" Bonzo (John) had "L'il" Bonzo (Jason) sit in for him during the soundcheck before the first show. He played "Trampled Underfoot" with the rest of the band, who were stunned by how hard then-thirteen-year-old Jason beat on ol' Dad's kit.

      His father just had that groove.
      I CALL JOHNS PLAYING VERY
      PRIMITIVE PLAYING HARD AS
      CONCRETE . MEANING HEAVY
      HE WAS NOT A FLASHY PLAYER
      MORE LIGHT AND SHADE.
      BUT A FORCE. POWERFUL.
      BUT HIS BASS DRUM WORK.
      TRIPLETS WERE FANTASTIC
      AND FEEL. LISTEN TO HOW
      MANY MORE TIMES ON ZEP I
      HE HAD THAT JAZZ FEEL .
      TO IT. I PLAY THE DRUMS
      TO. A VERY BIG INFLUENCE
      IN MY LIFE MORE THAN PLAY ING
      LIKE HIM. STUFF IN MY TIME
      OF DYING . THE RAIN SONG
      AND BONGOS ON FRIENDS.
      FOR EXAMPLE. ROYAL ORLEANS
      OF PRESENCE ALBUM. HE DEFINITELY KNEW HIS FEELING
      OF LIGHT AND SHADE. PLAYING
      TO WITH HIS BARE HANDS.
      DEFINITELY A MASTER IN
      OWN. RIGHT. WHEN HE PASSED
      AWAY. ZEP WAS NO MORE. THAT
      UNION THAT PAGE . JONES .
      BONHAM THE MARRIAGE OF.
      THAT BAND WAS NO MORE.
      PAGE PLANT JONES. SADLY THEY
      KNEW THAT. PLANT TO LOVED
      BOHNAM VERY MUCH. BECAUSE
      THEY WE'RE TOGETHER EVEN
      BEFORE ZEP. THE BAND OF JOY.
      AND I THINK CRAWLING KING
      SNAKE. BUT JOHN JASONS
      FATHER WOULD BE PROUD
      OF HIM . BUT AS YOU SAID
      RUBY TUESDAY .ROLLING

    If you’ve ever wondered what John Bonham’s playing would have sounded like if he had played to a click track or if his performances had been quantized. Just listen to Jason Bonham play any Led Zeppelin song.
    It doesn’t appear as though Jason’s play thoughs are as off the cuff as John’s were but Jason has certainly studied his fathers grooves and intricacies. And Jason displays his degree of drumming discipline in this tribute.

    What's with everyone pointing out that Jason isn't at the same level as his father was? Such an obvious and irrelevant comment to make.

      Fiontán Ó Cathail but something my so obvious is that he is using K customs on a Ludwig Acrolite kit in a tribute to his father who used Paiste’s

      @mr.tracygilley2562 6 років тому +46

      Actually Jason is much more refined and dynamic a player . He has more technique. I’ve been playing for 38 years and can make this determination very easily. No one respects his fathers abilities more than I do but that’s the simple truth . Thanks for saying it though . There are lots of idiots out there.

    • @rubytuesday1345
      @rubytuesday1345 5 років тому +49

      Agreed. I saw John perform live with Zep and he’s definitely not overrated. It’s important to remember that when we look at Bonham in his hay day it’s over 50 years ago. No one else was doing that stuff then. Not Baker, Moon, not Ringo, Watts. The only one who came close was Powell. But Bonham was an innovator.

    I have seen Jason perform 3X. Once on his Led Zeppelin tribute tour once with his band in the mid late 90s and once as a 22 yr old playing drums for Jimmy Page on the 1988 Outrider tour. He never disappoints.

    can u tell this guy idolizes his dad, despite his alcoholism? Jason obviously has eaten, drunk, & breathed his father's life & skill. perhaps it's the only way he can keep him alive awhile longer.... great job from a grateful son.

    John was a beast on drums. I'm glad Jason doesn't try to be his father, but rather honor him. And, he is a bassass in his own right. There will never be another rock drummer like John....EVER! He was a musical genius. Not only in his craft but he was also so well aware of the other instruments and his part in the arrangement. May he rest in peace. Long live the king!

      these guys do, by todays standards basic rock stuff, there are guys that play harder, faster with feel with one hand.
      I think John was blessed to be part of such a great band. Each member contributed to the sound that was Led Zeppelin

Keep doing what you do and you, you have made your father and all his fans proud of the man, and musician you have become, and will be. Thanks you :)

    BUT - there's a reason his Dad was called "Bonzo" .......
    When the Great John Bonham went off on a solo - or just a musical tangent... it became an out-of-body experience!!!!
