He forgot meeting Jason, allegedly. Of course it is KZfaq 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

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

Mick Bonham.

He was a rock star on top of the world afterall

Same reason you wouldnt remember meeting any other drummer for a cover band.

@bradsanders407 John Bonham was a cover drummer! That why stewert couldn't remember him? WTF?

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.

Oh he told you this?

@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.

Your timeline is all F'd up.

Two of the greatest ever !

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?

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.

Rush first album was in 74 he def knew who they were

​@@phatbackbeat6553 thought VH was 78

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

Did you ever meet Miles?

@@jalander8817 no , but Herbie was a regular.

Moreso with Taylor from Queen.

"He probably disliked their personalities cant blame him" So you are going to interject your feelings into his? Thats really weird.

Except when he drank

He was a hard working man.

@alrivers2297 Bonham never abused his wife and children.

@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.

yes he was !! a bear of a guy !!!

It's a matter of opinion.

He was Great, but you're being opinionated

Wait..... what?

Yeah, Peart, Copland, and Alex VH, are all less than 4 years younger than Bonham. Not really a new generation.

Of course he would remember.

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.

Truth

In your stupid opinion

Correct

Yep

Who is that?

1974

If she "was said", then it ain't her fault.

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

She actually beat out Bonham in a Drummer of the year poll in the mid-70s. I remember that mentioned in the Hammer of the Gods book.

@@michaelb55854 Well said

@@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.

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.

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

@@brianvernon249 Well put. Bowie based his changes upon being ahead of the curve.

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.

What are you on about ?

He's very underrated. Your comment proves that

There’s no reason to think that Bonham couldn’t appreciate music that was different from what his band made. I don’t imagine he would have been averse to Fela Kuti either. Whether you like the Police or not is a matter of taste but there’s no denying that Stewart Copeland was a spectacular drummer. Real recognize real.

Led Zeppelin was a 2-trick pony band. A heavy sound over songs stolen from bluesmen, and belabored ponderings about nordic gods.

What an ignorant and moronic thing to say. How long you been speaking for the dead?

​@@Hexon66thanks mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂

What a stupid post. I guess Edward Van Halen really didn't like Peter Gabriel because Gabriel didn't have a guitar genius on his solo music. Edward only bought Gabriel's music just to be nice. You're a total idiot.
