Good to see a younger generation delving even further to understand why the music was great. Keep up with the great job and enjoy the journey.

I am 61 now, and was blessed to grow up with Led Zeppelin. Thank you for your showing the younger generation your passion for Zeppelin

Bonzo and JPJ are the greatest bottom end and backbeat duo of all time.

Bonhams influence is immeasurable. From his music to “animal” the muppet drummer being based on him. He changed to world. When I saw use your illusion in 91 and the biggest band in the world at the time did a drum solo they played Bonzo’s Montreux note for note for note. Simply the greatest drummer to ever exist.

My favorite description of John Bonham was only two words: "impossible authority"

Crazy he did those triplets with only one bass drum. That is another level of difficult

the way I always interpreted him is that everyone else laid down a beat, a rhythm...but Bonhams drumming had both rhythm AND melody (to my ear) and sounded like another musical instrument rather than just a beat. Remarkable. And the power with which he hammered them sometimes. He was the goat. #1 drummer of the 20th century.

John Bonham is my most favorite drummer of all time. :)

Best band in my lifetime. John Bonham is king of that kit. Can you imagine if he’d lived, just how much more great music there would be from them.

You are an amazing young man! TY for your channel. I saw Zep 6th row center when I was 15. Life altering experience. I can’t sing or play an instrument, so I became a DJ at 20 years old. 43 years ago…still loving it! ❤️💜☮️👻

Hey cool, nothing like a history lesson about the best band in our solar system! Rock on bro!

It does my heart good to see the younger generation appreciate great music! God bless you.

Great to see new Zeppelin fans 🎶

Glad to see some of this younger generation taking the time to listen and understand the greatness that were bands like this.

And keep in mind Bonham played with one bass drum pedal, just his right foot, there's are bass drum rhythms he plays that a few drummer friends of mine can only play with a double-bass drum pedal, but then it doesn't sound right; watching and hearing them play along with Bonham is humorous because they (no one?) can ever get those beats and rhythms just right and they get so frustrated, those ghost notes on the snare, the triplets, and the tone of his bass drum is unique, the bass drum head sounds tuned so low it kind of "flubbers"

Plus he hit those drums harder than any other to this day

Phil Collins said in his memoir that Bonham was one of his favorite drummers and young Phil used to sneek into the bars to hear Led Zeppelin play....before they put out their first album. They were just a bar band! But with a jazz drummer. Bonzo.

That triplet he does in good times bad times he did with one bass pedal just ONE! My favorite band for the past 15 years and for the rest of my life!

THE FORCE THAT PROPELLED ZEPPELIN INTO THE HISTORY BOOKS & STRATOSPHERE!!! R I P... JOHN HENRY "BONZO" BONHAM, THANKS 4 THE GROOVE & MEMORIES & THE MUSIC THAT BECAME THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE.***

SOOO SOOO GREAT! THANK YOU THANK YOU ❣️ LOVED THIS

A reaction youtuber with actual interest in musical theory and composition. And killer taste. Subbed!!!

Led Zeppelin didn't 'storm' on stage in 1968. Their home country just labeled them the New Yardbirds, and didn't give them much of a chance. Until, they toured America. As Plant once said - 'America saved us". Then Britain took notice.

I love that this dude got hype just off watching Jimmy Page with no sound on. That's awesome

The record image on Fool in the Rain is inside the cover of their 9th album, In Through the Out Door

Saw this and loved it! Bonzo is the best rock drummer EVER.

The best freaking band!! Amazing Drummer!!

I enjoyed this video, John Bonham was an extraordinary drummer one of a kind

This is very cool to me because I'm trying really hard to learn me practice rhythm and time signs' I really emitted this reaction choice! Good video. I was just coming into music full force when these guys came out and still love them. It's so fun to see you do this!

Nice, I enjoyed sharing that journey with you. I have a lot of Zeppelin on original vinyl and felt the music and rhythms, though didn't necessarily get how technical some of the most complex ones are. Bonzo's incredible polyrhymic talent added so much to the incredibly talented band.

Loved this.

You couldn't put Bonham in the corner with the rhythm guitar (bass guitar). He put himself up front with the lead guitar, Jimmy Page. Brilliant.

It's funny how u never notice stuff in music until kinda learn about it or begin to know what to listen for. Fascinating

I knew about Black Dog, but didn't know the complexity of Fool in the Rain.

Thank you for posting this, big fan of Zep and Bonham and had never seen that. He was truly a great drummer in a great Band.

So good

This was a great video, It really explains the magic of the band.

Bless you Brother. Glad to see young folks listening to the greats. God Speed to ya.

That was very informative. Thank you.

Keep on rolling guy. On are on the right track for the legends that made the music explode in the sixties. First saw Zep in 1969 when Tull opened for them. Saw them and Tull many more times thereafter. Cream was an awesome show as well but a very short-lived band. Thanks for sharing the history of this truly remarkable drummer.

Great video, brother. I’m glad you appreciate the musicianship of these legends.

Wow Cool 😎 Thanks 🥁

John Bonham beat the damn drums like they owed him money.

Great video, lovin the breakdown of how Bonzo & Page established their chemistry in Led Zep. I've always been in awe of Bonhams druming without truly understanding the musical dynamics.

You do a fabulous job Popenyco. Please keep them coming!

Great vid. Keep m coming and I'll have to subscribe!

I believe the force behind Zep was the entire rhythm section: Bonham and Jones

I saw them in Seattle Wa summer of 1977

Just bumped into your reaction video if that's what you call this. I really enjoyed this video and learned why he was such an epic drummer. And I enjoyed your comments. Very much. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks, Dave

Glad you put this up

Love Bonzo! Found it interesting 🤔 that I clicked on this video of a guy watching a video. So I took my phone and recorded me watching a video of a guy watching a video. Now to send it to someone

true master

When Giants Walked The Earth 🌎

He was the absolute best!!

My favorite drummer of all time just saying

John Henry “Bonzo” Bonham!!! 🔥

Fool in the rain is the purdie shuffle

great vid....thanks bro

Good Job!

Little suggestion just get yourself a copy of Physical Graffiti for a huge array of Zeppelins music.

For most its how he played, his execution. For me its how he created his drum grooves. What he choose to do, when he choose to do it, his approach when creating the grooves for the particular song is what made him masterful.

Brother you made me laugh when I saw you look at the Timing of the notes it was funny I know you understand the music but they where jamming together .

Check out some of Bonhams isolated drums tracks like on... -Whole Lotta Love -Bring it on Home -Out on the Tiles -The Ocean Just to name a few.

I have loved this video of Bonzo for a while now. You really need to watch it several times so your ears can pick up some of the things happening especially to match up the visual music signature and the drums in the song. These things were really best heard live. You felt his beat clearly. Great video to react to and its great that you did it.

I think what's lacking in so many rock drummers these days is that appreciation of jazz, motown, funk and/or disco. It's so nice to hear that executed by a caveman who's bashing his giant drums with tree trunks, slipping in all these little triplets and shuffles. You can hear it in Dave Grohl's drumming too. Damn, it's so, so good!

I'm Glad you Chose this! It helps someone to Understand that John Bonham was an Artist, not just some " Pisshead" Banging on Drum Skins!

4:10 makes so much sense.. I've never thought of it that way. Most drummers and bassist are in the background keeping time and structure while the vocal and leads play over them.. points out why Dinosaur Jr. is so good. Lead man singer/guitarist was a drummer before learning guitar so he thinks in the same way Bonzo did I'm sure.

4:50 when it clicks, that Vietnow by RAtM just straight lifted Wanton Song Riff "....Merge on the networks,..."

The best 3/1 beat known

Bonzo could swing those huge drums. He kicked you in the balls dynamically and with finesse. Very heavy groove player. Dearly missed.

when I first saw this video about a year ago I was shocked. It never dawned on me that there was sheet music for drums. But as a teen in the 70s Zeppelin members were always considered the best with their instruments rather it be billboard and other rock magazines

BONZO!!! \o/

This is a great video to a point. There are a couple of other videos on Bonham that explain his drumming in a bit more depth. They show you the "Bonham swagger", how he lays back off the beat and how he does some of the most complex triplets.

He was a monster! gotta watch Moby Dick live. wicked drum solo!

Nice channel my friend 👍

Music theory is the best thing you can equip yourself with going into the music scene!

Skill

Achilles Last Stand is a must for Bonham fans

John Bonham was a best drummer in rock history......

Led Zeppelin music is so potent that it can be a bit life changing.... in a positive way of course.

I have many favorite Zep songs that show off Bonham. I think my favorite is the live version of Trampled underfoot from 1975. Much faster than the studio version snd hair raising drumming. The other choice for me is Achilles Last Stand. .

Great choice!

Has anyone guessed what solo Bonham was playing at the end of the video? My guess is "Moby Dick."

Check out Bernard Purdie. He created the half-time shuffle used on "Fool in the Rain". Deemed "The Purdie Shuffle"

have you heard Houses of the holy...yet.? it s one of my fav Album..it s different feeling ..i call it the cold Album it s freeze me to the bones ! just love it ! from the get-go ! try it !

I surprised it didn’t mention, Moby Dick, that was a good showcase for Bonzo

John Bonham was truly a gifted Rock drummer, no question about that. his influences were many of the phenomenal Jazz drummers of the time. Drummers like, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Max Roach, Joe Morello, and others. He wasn't a "technical" drummer like his Jazz hero's, taking drum lessons and reading music, he was a self-taught drummer. Bonhams' tragic death at such a young age, (32), rocked, (no pun intended), the other members of LZ. They had been rehearsing for an upcoming North American Tour the end of 1980. He had been a 12 hour drinking binge that started around noon on September 24th 1980 and lasted until about midnight, it was reported he had consumed 40 units of vodka. The UKs recommended maximum intake of alcoholic beverages per day for men is 3 to 4 units. He passed out and on a couch, someone put him to bed. Sometime during the night he choked to death on his own vomit. John Paul Jones, (led Zep bassist), and a Led Zep road manger found him the next morning, dead at 32 years old.

He’s literally filmed himself next to a previous video of Bono’s analysis

You should check out their upcoming documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin. It should be out in the near future, hopefully. The remaining members all participated in it and it should have some great insight into their creation, even by Bonzo himself.

You have to watch Bonhams full Moby Dick solo. Immediately.

remember this when you get back to the Tool songs.

to truly see this master at work. I suggest Moby Dick, Live at Madison Square Garden.

Saw this quite a bit back- since I'm a drummer... it's relatively simple and deeply heavy at the same time. It's got to be right on time though

RIP Bonzo.

You might be interested in listening to his son Jason play. Jason Bonham started with Ted Nugent, going on to other bands and was involved recently with the super group project of Black Country Communion. Check out a song or two: "Afterglow" ; "Song of Yesterday" ; The Battle For Hadrian's Wall" ; "Save ME" or any tune that might interest you.

Polyphonic made that video. Every video he/they make is very much worth watching.

"That's a lot of numbers".6:00 One of the best aspects of LED Zeppelin besides their multi diverse moods in writing are some of the core Rythm & Blues that they drew from. Songs like "Since I've been loving you" and "Whole Lotta Love" were not their originals but were R&B tunes performed earlier by other artists.(Moby Grape, and Muddy Waters, respectively) The beauty here being how many bands (i.e. Humble Pie, Clapton, J Gail's, etc, etc) took R&B to incredible heights. John Bonham was one of those very best in drummers. Too many to list, but he was indeed iconic. "Fool in the Rain" is nearly identical to the "Purdy Shuffle" (Bernard Purdy). But the narrator never mentions that. Nice to see that you're diving into origins, just like those cats did as well! Be well! : )

Many don't have the mental capabilities to dive into genres/subjects they have no interest in, they can't open their minds enough to see evolution! The ones that do, understand the importance in "open book" type mentality. Knowledge is wisdom, being able to appreciate is something u can't teach. "Respect our elders" and "never judge a book by its cover" are the 2 most important quotes in life imo. **Sorry so long, Its awesome seeing a younger gen. learn the evolution of music. Led Zeppelin was big in the movement. Before them it was bands like Animals wearing suits on stage. Anyway, I got mad RESPECT for ya, open mindedness is a forever quality! I subbed and looked forward to more of your content! When we as humans, unite and work together/through our differences the world will see evolution, if we continue to divide over "manipulation by way of televised programming" Big corporate wins and become 100% enslaved/controlled/chipped!

Best rock drummer ever! Legend.

On the mini credit on Zeppelin I Jimmy Page credits John Bonham for the bands success. More importantly Bonhams triplet techniques made Jimmy Page even further talented
