[@rogercaruso9337]

Jimmy is actually playing his guitar with the violin bo

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

This song at Royal Albert Hall 1970 is 20 minutes of mayhem. Prob the greatest performance I've ever seen! Praying for a miracle, Andrew.

[@mammothfur2961]

Yeees escpecially how they just get completely sidetrack in other musical ideas and improvised songs and then come back to the song itself... the audience participation also. It´s just insanely good.

[@PeterTea]

Lol. You beat me to the punch.

[@eatthisvr6]

they improv like hell and its GLORIOUS

[@Klapeful]

Agree ! it's a must watch Andrew :)

[@anthonykargoglou7205]

Yes please its one of the best live recording we have of zep in good quality

[@peterdawes1868]

When Zep came to Australia in 1972. I was a spotty faced 13 year old school boy. Their Sydney concert was held on a school day so, I "jigged' school and had to sneak into the show grounds and, see them live. What a show and, to add to the thrill? I saw myself in the audience in the footage on the Led Zepplin anthology DVD.

[@wyatt92563]

EPIC! So envious!

[@martyngilbertswann8191]

Please remember everyone that John Bonham was just 20 years old when this was created . Likewise Robert, jimmy and JPJ were 24 . Utterly astonishing.

[@mattbeasley1311]

Robert was only 20 as well

[@lovewinsall77]

Exactly happened to me. 1969. Went to the record store. Everybody talking about it. Got it home. Little puff of something good. The first side, my reaction? "Gack!! What the hell is this?" Flipped it over. Side two. Organ intro, "Okay! This sh*t is for real." And the side ended with "that!" I never did recover from it. I enjoy it now, still an album I play, start to finish. Still love it like it's my best friend.

[@FabricioCarvalhoFerreira]

I absolutely love this song. I’m no drummer, but it feels like a fills’ library for any drummer lacking inspiration.

[@thomasharhen2168]

Considering Bonhan didn't get fis 1rst snare drum until he was 15 is such an amazing feat!!!! And recording zeppelin 1 at the age of 20 is mind blowing!!! Simply put.....THE BEST BAND EVER

[@DugBeez1]

Actually, first snare at age 10, first kit 15. Anyway, at less than 5yrs amazing skill, confidence and chops! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bonham#:~:text=Bonham%20was%20born%20in%201948,different%20bands%20with%20Robert%20Plant.

[@eatthisvr6]

8:22 i LOVE what bonham does there! it sound sooooooo good

[@turnsufficient4971]

Effing amazing - recorded between Sept 25th - Oct 3rd, 1968. Released Jan 1969 - people couldn't believe what they were hearing when it came out of their speakers. Bonham finally found a band where he could express himself. It shows. Led Zeppelin just jammed their asses off and no one was trying to restrict anyone's talent -- no one was jealous of the other. They had respect for each other and went to the out stratosphere ! ❤

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

You are so right about how this album was received. Someone told someone "You just got to hear this album, man" And when we did our minds were well and truly blown! Yep, the jazz was strong in this one.

[@johnharris6087]

Great reaction. Led Zeppelin at their best

[@Misitheus]

Hammer of the Gods.......... In my opinion..."In My Time of Dying" is Mr.Bonham's best work......Neil Peart and such are technical masters....but John just had that extra groove you are born with. You can practice a life time as I did....but ya just aint got dat feeling of Bonzo..... Peace!

[@ralph6968]

You never loose with Zeppelin

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@GeorgeTropicana]

Loose and lose are two different words

[@donnelson6694]

Jazz, funk, blues riffs, Bonham unleashed......A lot to digest on this one.

[@targetshootr]

I can't get enough of watching people discover Zep. My face did the same things all those years ago. They were so talented and effortlessly cool. They did so little promotion I never heard Plant speak until we saw them for the first time. I thought no way is his voice the same as on the albums. Of course it was.

[@richarddeluen5973]

And this is why Bonham is an absolute genius

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup! 🤯

[@JJ8KK]

Bonzo's mates had so much respect for what he added to their sound, they made a point of opening the album with Good Time Bad Times & closed it with How Many More Times. Just an incredible first album...

[@sushibar777]

IMHO, THIS is the quintessential Led Zeppelin song. More so than Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks, Whole Lotta Luv, Out on the Tiles, Dazed and Confused, etc. As great as those and more are, this one captures the essence completely. The last song on their first and greatest album must have blown people away when they heard it for the first time, as it does hearing for the 10,000th.

[@thisoldgoat3927]

@Andrew - John Bonham and Robert Plant were both in a group before LZ called Band of Joy and "How Many More Times" was a regular of theirs, that's why it sounds so tight.

[@planreview]

I’m 15 years old at the time, bought the LP at Lorraine’s Records at Winston Plaza. 5-6 of us sat on the basement floor in a circle around a record player. We were all hearing this album for the first time. Nothing like the first time, right? And that started my journey. Dinner with the family was never quite the same again. Life changed.

[@guyincognito1423]

That album still gives me the chills after 33 years of listening to it! What's amazing about most Zeppelin songs, is you listen to one, and even though it will be 6 minutes or 8 minutes, it doesn't feel like that much time has passed. You get so caught up in everything that time becomes irrelevant.

[@caliokiegrownoklahoma4119]

Absolutely get chills every listen!!

[@turnsufficient4971]

Robert Plant and John Bonham were only 20 yrs old when they recorded this album ! It's amazing❤ and they were precocious AF !

[@johnpbh]

Loved the exploration of their first album... But when I listened to the album back in 1970, THIS was the track that made me go.... F..K, this and they, are something special. It had everything but the kitchen sink in there didn't it... from styles to volume modulation... And you don;t get that without at least knowing where you are headed... and. I think, sometimes you can hear the improvisation from John as he listens to Jimmy... and after he realises that Jimmy is playing a pattern his drumming matches it... It's to me, what this band was all about, call and response between all the members... And to think that Jimmy and John Paul were looking for a singer and they invited Robert to do it he said okay I'm coming but only if I bring my mate the drummer John Bonham. Keep on Rocking.

[@jcc3999]

This is one of three songs where Jimmy Page played his guitar with a violin bow. The others are "Dazed And Confused" and "In The Light." Jimmy's bowing can be heard in the section after his double-tracked guitar solo ("I was a young man, I couldn't resis

[@gummiesrule88]

That shuffle going into The Hunter is just glorious. And he was 20, I believe... Great, great feel....There's nothing like early Zep, really. Blues, jazz, blood, thunder and the Hammer of the Gods.

[@springy-2112]

This is a music masterclass from Jimmy, Bonzo,JpJ and Robert. ✌️🧡🤗

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

💯👌

[@willyroussel3563]

Jimmy altered the time on the album so this song would get radio air play. Genius.

[@ronmontgomery7130]

Now you know why us zep fans love them so much!! Four guys came together and it was magic! Still soooo good all these years later.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@chilliwhiggerE]

For all intents and purposes KIDS played that. This is my favorite song from 1 and in my top 5 Zep jams. IMO the reason Page chose this to close the album is because it's like a gut check as they're going out the door. Like he's saying "This isn't the end, it's just the beginning. We'll be back shortly..." I also like how Page plays a piece of Beck's Bolero in the middle as if to say "Just in case you were wondering who was at the helm on that". Heads must've exploded in those days after hearing this. Definitely a turning point in popular music.

[@PeterTea]

There’s another great live version of this song from the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 for Jimmy’s birthday. Talk about improv! Looking for to you tackling Zeppelin II someday. Cheers.

[@fractaljack210]

My favourite Zep song. I remember the first time I heard it, and my adoration has never wavered. A cover, perhaps? Great reaction.

[@bonhzeppelin55]

Man, up to that point in my short Led Zepp experience, i was in mesmerized awe of Jimmy Page's Godly guitar licks! I'd noticed the great *Drumming, Bass & of course Robert Plant's (Where/what Planet did that guy come from?!!)👀!!! Then I heard How Many... 🤯 The DRUMS MAN Those F'ing Beautiful DRUMS! From then on it was - for me - The Drum Kit 4 Evah! Thank You John Henry Bonham! I Forever Bow to Thee! m ( _ _ ) m

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

Bonzo is crazy! This is one of his best in my uneducated drum brain. It just felt great all the way through. The transitive moments, however simple, are so mysterious and engaging.

[@davidohman9211]

A couple of friends and I had heard about LZ in early to mid-1969. Then we heard a few cuts from that first album. So when The Forum in Inglewood, CA announced their fall concert season, we bought it all: Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and The Moodie Blues. They were all great, but the Led Zeppelin concert blew the lid off everything that preceded it. We could see people in the audience looking at each other in absolute awe! Yes there were great bands of the era and I loved most of them. Some are still great today. But when we heard Led Zeppelin playing everything from that first album, we were numbed by what we just heard. Our brains were in another solar system. AND THEY WERE ALL SO YOUNG!!! HOW COULD ANYONE BE THAT GREAT AND SO YOUNG?!?!?!?!

[@caliokiegrownoklahoma4119]

I wore new grooves in that album when I was 10 years old. My oldest sister had a great collection and Zep was at the top! Bonham is GOD!

[@albertzapata1156]

I’m glad you finally heard the studio version this is one of my favorite Bonham jams

[@johnygrasa]

I hope you do Led Zep II in the same way.

[@darrylbennett4297]

Fuck yes

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes!

[@theStacyJames]

Now we're talking. That is an awesome Bonzo showcase

[@yvoheaton6402]

This riff is forever fixed in my mind. I first heard the album two days after it was released and was transfixed by Bonham (and the rest of the Band did okay too!). I thought it could never be bettered and then came Led Zep Two!!! The power of the Bonham bass drum playing is unique and drives everything along....outstanding.

[@tektoniks_architects]

When you mention Miles Davis in the same breath as Led Zep, you're putting my two favorites from each genre together. That warms my heart. Saw Miles live in the late 1980's at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in upstate NY. For me, Miles is to jazz as Zep is to rock...the pinnacle.

[@wyatt92563]

Same! Miles and Zep just do it for me.

[@sidewayspagan9221]

That ending.... smash smash smash smash smash smash smash smash. Actually beating up the drum kit. Love it.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

POWER

[@Ash_Hudson]

Please do the rest of the albums, otherwise you'll be missing out on the incredibly creative drum beats and motifs that followed after this album. Zep were great on their debut, but when they started coming into their own - that is where it's at.

[@jakeenan]

Great to see you going through the Zep catalogue from the start. Early doors a lot of us Zep fans gave you some stick for not knowing Bonham's work being a drum teacher and all. Apologies. We get very precious. But once you got into it......we knew it would truly hit you where you live. The symmetry of these four guys, just like The Beatles, is unmatched, untouchable.

[@jcc3999]

"How Many More Times" is based on some old blues songs that influenced the band. Some of the lyrics are from blues singer Albert King's song "The Hunter," and much of the song was derived from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Some other Led Zeppelin reworkings of blues songs include "You Shook Me" and "The Lemon Song."

[@brezz6759]

Thank you for doing led zep week for us! 💜

[@edyoung6573]

Fracking Amazing!! My favorite song on the Album!!! Bonham was a Machine!!! Best (my favorite) Drummer of all time! I think this is my 4th time watching you do this song.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HA! Thanks for watching!

[@darrylbennett4297]

Here we go! so I much fun. That’s how you close an album…. A debut album. Gauntlet is down, good luck to every other rock band since😂

[@zeppelinmexicano]

Relentless, that's the word.

[@bowtiefidenine]

I was just 10 when I got this album thanks to my older sister and they have been my favorite band ever since ❤

[@susannebass5503]

WOW now that's a true and proper ending to their debut album!!! Thanks Andrew I knew this song would touch your soul. And thanks for taking this project on for Finesse n myself. ZEP never disappoints.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Incredible stuff

[@ellebrook3413]

Thanks to you two Susanne and Finesse for all your LZ requests. It feels nice to watch content specifically for fans, cos you know everyone else watching is there for the same reason. This is another great overall LZ performance, but Bonzo is just incredible here. I love watching drumeo while listening too!

[@mikecrotty6719]

You did not stop smiling thru the whole song !!

[@canadianstudmuffin]

My favorite Led Zeppelin song.

[@eatthisvr6]

youd LOVE the 20 minute royal albert hall version

[@ramongoroth]

One of my all time favorites of thiers.

[@kimberlyjohnson8932]

Bonham my fave.drummer.Many great ones but love me some Bonham.R.I.P.

[@jrooney58]

Led Zeppelin’s debut album was released in January, 1969, while they were on tour in the US. Beginning in September, 1968, the band toured Scandinavia under the name “New Yardbirds.” Later in 1969, they did go back and forth between the UK and Scandinavia, so that’s when your the other Danmark Radio recording was done.

[@dbclassic8733]

I think go back a couple of years... If I recall... 1 pocket 2 dirty pocket 3 filthy pocket... Diiiirty greasy.... How is he this good???? Enjoy your reactions and teaching us that his drumming is so jazzy. I never understood that before. I also really enjoy the fact you are still genuinely surprised at his songs.. Awesome

[@doughawkins7983]

I had been playing drums for about 3 years, when this album came out. I bought it, and gave it a listen. I instantly felt simultaneously inspired and inadequate, as a drummer. Bonham was so different from the drummers I had been listening to, at that time. Over half a century later, I still find him inspiring.

[@thomasharhen2168]

It is Jazz with a heavy foot!!! Love it

[@finessemuse2123]

Stank face alert from 4:53 to 5:07!!! The first of many!! Ha Ha!!! Bonham was a once in a lifetime drummer, there will never be another one like him by the way music is going these days. Andy, it was great to experience this whole album with you as you listened for the first time. Bravo!!! To watch you react to these classic rock songs for the first time and your authentic response, including ground-breaking Communication Breakdown, is priceless!! Stank face and all!!! LOL! Bonzo is really slinging and swinging that Slingerland Kit! :) ALL AT THE RIPE OL' AGE OF 20!!! (He did not turn 21 until the end of May 1969 and this album was recorded in 36 hours in October of 1968, only 6-7 weeks after they formed in August 1968, as the New Yardbirds). Bonus...I did not know the Danmark Radio 1969 live How Many More Times reaction you did became unblocked. Awesome! I will have to check out your Bonham playlist to listen again! (It was filmed 2 months after this album came out in Jan. 1969 and filmed the same month as your reaction to live Dazed and Confused from Supershow). Thank you for taking on this whole album when this idea was spun to you by Susanne and I. :) Your reactions to all the classic rock songs and drummers you happened to miss is the best part of your channel and I look forward to sending more Paypal requests in the future for you to check out other great classic rock drummers. So much to explore from that time period of the late 60's through the 70's! :)

[@susannebass5503]

Bravo Andrew🎉 You delivered on our crazy idea with such class n insight AMAZING! My 12 yr old brain melted especially for this song BONHAM 😎 A magician who captured my heart and hasn't let go to this day. Thanks Finesse for riding with me on a really special journey.... what's next?? For me it's 4 💕

[@finessemuse2123]

@@susannebass5503 Yes Led Zep 4 would be a fantastic choice! Perhaps then we can get a reaction to Four Sticks that would not be blocked, with a Drumeo transcription as a bonus. 😊 (My Four Sticks request was blocked a few years ago). And of course he would have to skip over Going to California, no drums on that. Battle of Evermore too? If you want to PayPal request it, would be cool. But he did also mention to me his whole album requests my need to sunset because he is too busy with other requests to block out whole weeks for an album. Myself going forward, I am going to do PayPal requests from other great classic rock drummers that need exposure and Andy's great reactions. 👍😊🥁

[@susannebass5503]

@@finessemuse2123 Yes I don't think Andrew is up for another ZEP week for a good while .... maybe as you said make it a beginning of the year thing every year. Also I agree with other drummers that's why I requested the Vanilla Fudge video to throw in some new blood from this era. I'm up for anything so let me know if I can be of assistance

[@finessemuse2123]

​@@susannebass5503 Awesome! Thank you! Let's team up again with more Bonham next New Year and hatch a plan perhaps, ha ha! In the meantime, let's hit him up with other classic rock drumming greats. I loved your Carmine Appice Vanilla Fudge...that was EPIC! 🥁👍💯

[@simonagger206]

Can you imagine seeing Zeppelin in a club in the early days and then seeing Black Sabbath in the same month will their monster improv. in Wicked World, Wall of Sleep, Warning and The Wizard? Bloody Hell. Indeed. Somebody must have been there as a teen drummer getting well inspired!! Cheers for the reaction!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yeah what a live scene in England 60s and 70s

[@remnantsofasoundblast]

Yes, Bill Ward was killer too. Sab and Zep went into some killer improv jams, so did Deep Purple and Jethro Tull

[@bobtedeman5975]

You really enjoyed this song as it was playing. Could see it on your face. Hey yesterday I saw a video of Phil Collins doing Paranoid with Sabbath. Pretty cool.

[@turnsufficient4971]

They were EFFING relentless !

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

I love the way this song swings! It's basically a giant improv with inspiration from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years", Booker T and the MG's "The Hunter", Jeff Beck's "Becks Bolero" (which Jimmy wrote, produced, and played on as well as John Paul Jones), plus bits and pieces from both The Yardbirds and Robert's former band, Band of Joy. Played live, the improvisation might include bits of "Travelin' Little Mama", "Boogie Chillun'", "That's Alright Mama", and anything else they could throw into the mix. As @SnakeInTheGrass mentioned there is a 20-minute live version which showcases some of this improv and I hope you do a reaction to it.

[@neilgoldsmith482]

Led Zep 1 is truly different from all other Zeppelin albums sonicly. It is more blues influence the growth to Zep 3 was that Zep 1 was more hard. They are all great no matter what the critics were saying. Just because they did not understand what and how great they were.🎵🎸🎼🎹🎵😎 15:04

[@stephencoats1501]

What you describe about picking up the album for the first time is EXACTLY true. In perhaps June 69 my friend said come and listen to my big brother's new album. I was all in from the drum guitar opening of Good Times Bad Times. Exhilarating! This one was always my favourite though. One further often overlooked point. Led Zeppelin production was a massive jump forward from other rock albums of the era point of reference Cream let alone Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly etc. Page was a genius producer.

[@shelleyroe9797]

Led Zeppelin has been my #1 since Junior High School ❤️‍🔥💪🏻…. How Many More Times~ has been one of my favorites… Which Zeppelin song ISN’T a favorite 🤷🏼‍♀️…Every song on each album is amazing in its own way…they are also, TIMELESS…imo BONZO 🥁💪🏻❤️‍🔥…

[@gregbrown9574]

Thanks again bud!

[@andrewmason7207]

my fav song from the album for the drums alone,, band was genius and in their early20s doing this ,, that alone says it all

[@rogercaruso9337]

During Good Times bad times did you hear his Kick Drum is that simply amazing or what

[@kellsinpdx]

I love watching this with the drumming tabs for some reason, and I can't even read sheet music lol.

[@rtalbot87]

As an Oldster I was around when LZ1 was released. The production was first class, quality even higher, music sensational. There are many fantastic Zep tracks, some studio, some live, amongst them Good Times Bad Times, The Lemon Song (listen to JPJ), Kashmir (listen to JPJ on keyboards, Fool in the Rain a lovely shuffle, etc. IMHO, this is the BEST of them all by far. It has swing. There is rare video (on the Tube) of LZ playing some large American venue for hours. The sound isn't that good, nor is the (distant) video but WOW. Unfortunately most of the audience didn't 'get it', but WOW, just improvising, what a show for the dedicated fan.

[@ledzeppacker]

Lyrics taken from Howling Wolfs How Many more Years. Zeppelin made it into a psychedelic jazz song. Middle part is Jimmys violin bow.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Fantastic song...do the Royal Albert Hall live one! God gave us a gift with this band!

[@DrummerJay74]

I remember my friend giving me tapes of Led Zeppelin 2 and 4 that belonged to his brother. After listening to those 2 cassettes I was on my way. I was terrible. lol 😀

[@alexanderh.5814]

This was their best live song. Their performance of this at the Royal Albert Music Hall is my favorite Led Zep live performance. Unfortunately, they seemed to stop doing How many more times live in the early 70’s

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh right! Thanks for the info

[@samgamblewhite8600]

Best live song has to be dazed for me they took that song to its absolute limit.

[@Peter-zu5jg]

You've been to the Top of the Rock N Roll mountain.....and it is good. 🎸🔥

[@MrBedZeppelin]

When first putting this debut masterpiece, of an album, onto my phonograph (record) player, THIS song was OUR favorite instantly. "How Many More Times" stands out in so many ways, Bonham just went MAD on this one! This song is FAR too underrated and still is one of my favorites, perhaps maybe for that very reason. Easily the BEST debut album ever, for me and many others. The punch, the musical talent, the wails, the power, the grooves it was ALL there! Well Done Andrew!!

[@Peter-zu5jg]

After listening to this song , I feel as if I just finished running a marathon. 🔥🤘

[@Greg-om2hb]

Again, I hear the Tom Morello influence in Bonzo’s drumming, especially during the Jazzy interlude with the bowed guitar. And I love the heavy shuffle that follows. Time to dig into Led Zeppelin II.

[@s34cea75]

Joe Morello?

[@billbowman3413]

I love your channel Andrew! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks, will do!

[@gregbrown9574]

I so dig what you're doing Andrew! My formative years of musical appreciation were full of Led Zeppelin (and Black Sabbath), and this was the very first album I bought with my own money at 13 yrs old. I could hardly wait for you to get to this song, my favorite from this album! Well done and thank you again for you do!

OK. I bought this album when it was first released. So worn now it reflects like a mirror ! I was a drummer at the time; I was mesmerised. It's not even a solo; and perhaps all the better for it ! This was before drum and bass ! I could not understand what Drum and Bass was all about. Listening to JPJ and Bonzo is a dimension in itself. Try The Lemon Song and listen to the rhythmic groove. Sensational.

I like this concept of going through a whole album. And there would be so many more, even from that same time. Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Iron Butterfky, Jethro Tull..all these legends. Have you ever heard of the album "Just a pole" from Sweet smole? Brainticket by Brainticket? Or: An electric storm in hell by White Noise? "First Base" by Babe Ruth? About Zep: (taken from an InterView with Pagey at a UK University). They went to Chicago, 'cause there was a radio station theat played full sides of albums in each one heap. He wanted exactly that! He wrote all their 1st songs longer than 3 minutes. On pirpose: 3 min did fit on a single. He wanted to avoid one single song taken from one album. And the rest to be forgotten. I think the variety of songs on this album shows it.

I've been with my Zeppelin since the beginning first time I saw them was 1970 I believe Fillmore East New York City Zeppelins is known for changing and one song different genres take a journey with Zeppelin my friend it'll be well worth it

[@andrewpatrick9103]

This is probably my favorite Zeppelin song. So much better than Black Dog, Stairway, or Kashmir.

This studio version is epic! Pure classic 👍🏻 I had a similar comment to your reaction to Tommy Aldridge, but this album was another favorite of mine that I used to listen to on my paper route when I was 14 or 15 in 1981. this song always blew me away. Robert’s incredible vocals behind this driving music. I was lucky to have learned to play by listening to some of greatest of all time. Bonham, Peart, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Stewart Copeland, Bill Bruford and Ringo. Man we had it good growing up. There are some mind blowing performers these days but where are the incredible bands that we had the privilege to listen to like Zeppelin, The Who, Hendrix, Rush, etc?

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup some classic players and bands you mentioned

[@johnhanson8442]

Saw them at one of there first concerts at what is now Surrey University in Guildford Surrey uk. The sound of his drums in a smallish venue was amazing and so loud as well as the rest of the band. I also remember how tight JPJ was with Bonham and how he played with the lead guitar. Yes the first album was a revelation and I have all the original vinyl albums. Still play them to this day find have more feeling than cd

[@dankohlhaas6845]

Wow, awesome analysis on a super album…my favorite of course.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for your reaction to the best Debut album ever😮

[@frontprochproduction]

Great vid Sir, I just have to say something. I grew up as the son of a drummer. I picked up the sticks at 16, was self taught, and learned via osmosis listening to and playing along with any and everything. I eventually went on to play in many club bands for over twenty years. Watching this vid, I was a bit surprised by how many little pieces of what JB did in this song that I played in my performances without really knowing where I picked them up. There were so many truly great drummers who I listened to over and over it's impossible to know which drummer I learned what from. Thanks for the surprising trip down memory lane and the smile it put on my face when I realized how much of my "style" of drumming came from this great drummer... 😎

I don’t know if you’ve done it yet, but you need to react and listen to Zeppelin’s Achilles Last Stand. To me, it’s one of Bonham’s best drum tracks and certainly my favorite. It shows his powerhouse side as well as all the little nuances he could also do. Highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed!

[@jeffmalloy8200]

Best, first, album, by, any, band, ever!

[@jeffmalloy8200]

I heard this when it came out and I was immediately hooked! Hook, line, sinker, bobber, pole, reel, boat, motor, trailer and SUV!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Hard to argue!

[@johnb2427]

Awesome! Now on to Zeppelin 2!

[@fredfirth3834]

Led Zeppelin's first is still probably my favorite of theirs from the opening to the closing. That and Houses of the Holy are my two go-to Zeppelin albums.

[@neilgoldsmith482]

I finally am glad Andrew, that you really appreciate Led Zep. They were unbelievable live in the early years before drugs. Alcohol knocked off their live perfection. It was part of what eventually led to the end. Their reputation as party animals is understated at best. It was what killed the greatest drummer arguably of all time. Top 5 my list : John Bonzo Bonham RIP, Neil Peart RIP, Bill Ward ( at one time was as good as Bonham) , Carl Palmer of ELP, & Keith Moon RIP🎸😎🎼

[@neilgoldsmith482]

Oops left off Bill Bruford.

[@abranscom]

The greatest debut album ever.

[@remnantsofasoundblast]

That beat on the snare and bass drum that he does during the "Call me the Hunter" section is fucking bad ass! I picked up on just how great the song was (and the drums) when I was about 14, back in the late 80's. Like most, my mind was blown as well. I love your reaction and intent listening. Keep rockin🤘✌

[@donfinch862]

Cracker tune right there. Back in the '70's I would've thought "oh yeh, cool song" (never actually heard this album back then - blame my sister for not buying it). Now I have to analyse it on drumeo with a half melted old brain and a couple of beers. Bloody enjoyable none the less

[@MrKonery]

Thank you , Andrew!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

You bet Eriko
