Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham Completely Lost Control

[@colins9689]

I can’t imagine them moving on without him. They absolutely made the right call

[@Factinate]

That's a Factinate.

[@Lizablue0608]

I remember crying the moment I heard..😔 I’m an 80’s kid. They were a huge part of my childhood. Dang… 💔

[@kevinwalker2072]

Agreed

[@Swelte]

That boy knew how to drum! 🥁

[@JAMESGANG-f5u]

2:20 Bonham looks like he wants to kill the cameraman

[@nicalter]

that photo is in Pittsburgh. they were really tired at that point, theres 4 shows left, and they really nailed all of those 4 shows. you can even feel the tiredness if you listen to the show

[@cocoono11]

The music on here, you’d think this doc was about Kenny G….. 😂

[@WesleyWattley-xy4fg]

Kenny G Good!👍🎷

[@stefaniecosme4774]

@@WesleyWattley-xy4fg Well, To some that might True- But, It’s REALLY NOT the Type of music that should be played on a Led Zeppelin/John Bonham video

[@Moment-14]

I woulda hated to be the one to tell Bonzo that Karen Carpenter won Best Drummer in 1975. Or ask him whar he thought about it. Its interesting to listen to Carmine Appice talk about Bonham.

[@johnjames4007]

It’s interesting how similar both Keith Moon and Bonzo were in personality. I have often pondered who was better. I still can’t say.

[@kevinbailey3384]

I can, Bonham was in a different league

[@WSFScotland]

​@@kevinbailey3384I'd second that... it's like comparing a Lada with a Ferrari...

[@davidhague3270]

Yes both hopeless drunks

[@jdsharp1366]

Personally, you couldn't get two more different personalities, Bonham was the type of guy that didn't care for interviews(Top Gear interview in particular) and all that, if someone pissed him off enough they probably deserved it, he was a quiet guy for the most part, loved hot rods and his family but the life of being a rock god is a high that's hard to come down from, when not on tour a lot look for that stage rush high then the after parties, but never find it. Moon the Loon on the other hand, the party never ends and he was always trying to be the center of attention, and with the his legendary stories, it's hard to believe a lot of them, but so many others were around to verify them, if you've looked up his young life to his passing he definitely earned the nickname, both are legends, and rightfully so. It's sad that so many great talents have left early in their lives, but hey, if there's an afterlife there has to be a lot of new kickass bands and tunes there to rock out on.

[@good-bye_blue_sky]

Ironically, it was Moon who was the inspiration for the name Led Zeppelin, After hearing that Page & Jeff Beck were putting together a band he jokingly said that would "go down like a lead balloon"

[@JAMESGANG-f5u]

I put my mom through 36 hours of labor. No wonder she doesn’t like me much.

[@kennethbrancart]

This paints a very dark portrait of Bonham.. when in fact, he was a loving father, husband, and caring brother as well. Yes there was mayhem on the road, but this narration is VERY distorted!

[@Michael-Philip]

Plant was ready to quit. Page and Bonham had substance abuse problems. Had Bonham lived I think Plant might have quit 1981-82

[@djhrecordhound4391]

I avoided commenting on the mispronunciations until "Tony Lommy" of Black Sabbath. Really...????

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Yeah. That one was rough.

[@peterwynberg]

I was in Bunbury W.A. when i heard Bonzo died. Even in some of the southern most areas of the world 🌎, it was news. Yes i knew Zeppelin was done...

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

So I take it this guy was the inspiration for Animal on The Muppet Show.

[@USAngel4u2]

😆

[@Semprefi]

That’s Keith Moon

[@jeremywanner4526]

Ginger Baker actually,hence Animals red hair.

[@Semprefi]

@@jeremywanner4526 Obviously you can back that up with evidence because what kind of loser would call out someone and make such a clans without it right?

[@Semprefi]

@@jeremywanner4526 I was just fucking with you. I already know you don’t have proof of it because it doesn’t exist. But you did provide the correct answer for the second part of my question so congratulations ?

I appreciate all of the footage.Even though it maybe true,why focus on the negatives?! RIP John

[@leetrask6042]

You're forgetting what happened at a Frank Zappa consert.

[@KookieMonster-d8n]

Peter Grant hasn't missed to many meals!

[@chrisnizer]

If most musicians want to make their instruments sing, John Bonham punched his in the stomach and beat them within an inch of their life. Brilliant drummer, one of a kind, the best.

[@ericporter1255]

The Mudshark incident has been musically chronicled by Frank Zappa and the Mothers on the live at the Fillmore East, 1972. It consumes both sides of the album. Hilarious genius

[@monicawylie3985]

They needed to take a damn break.

[@Myfriendwaits]

Bonham was an extremely thoughtful drummer, most intelligent. Most say he hit the drums hard. He just knew How to hit them. He could hear himself objectively. You always knew it was he on the drums because he knew them so well. He was the main reason for the huge Zep sound. No other drummer could produce such an energetic sound.

[@RIFFRAFF104]

I asked Vinnie Martell from Vannila fudge about the mud shark incident. He said it was as told.

[@shanekrongforpm]

He sounds like a top bloke! Must have had shit loads of lawyers to get him out of those violent situations. Maybe if he had found some peace in his mind instead of destroying himself. Question , can you separate the art from the artists personal life? No. Yes he was an excellent drummer, but a very flawed human and he caused much chaos and destruction to others. Just like Keith Moon. This is my opinion and as an art critic, I have a right to express this view.

[@abidababida7096]

He knew Robert Plant and played in a band with him before Zeppelin. Page’s first choice for drummer was some other guy but Plant convinced him to go hear Bonzo. Page immediately wanted him but Bonzo almost declined cause he was finally in a band making some money. Once again Plant to the rescue and he joined.

[@caramanico1]

Ancient information that has been trod upon many times over the last 40+ years, milked here and presented poorly in an attempt3 to emphasize behaviors that were not uncommon - and even generally accepted in he industry - during rock's infant years of 1967 - 1973. This is not an excuse for anything anybody may have done, just a statement of the overall attitudes of the people of the era in that industry.

[@WeWuzKangZnShiyidt]

He sounded like a real gem.

[@turnsufficient4971]

It's a false narrative about "The Oakland Incident" - it's totally wrong. I did a proper write-up about it and added a comment. Lots of the details prior to the Oakland - are details are made up

[@etiletsatsi5130]

Here's a revised title for your video: A Biography of John Bonham.

RIP Jim Matzorkis

Dude's son was no doubt acting like a little punk.

How much peter grant weight?

[@jimred5700]

At his heaviest around 26 - 27 stone.

[@scottwojno173]

Get your facts straight. John Bonham did not see it. It was relayed to him and Peter Grant after the fact, people like you should not be doing these videos and giving misinformation.

[@MarvinJudson]

I'm pretty sure that was not a real live human doing the voiceover. It was AI.

[@davekennedy6315]

Somehow I don't think Bonham would give a @#£%?

I gave you a like because you are spot on

[@dellcoats4648]

Bonzo had the devil inside him

[@12thDecember]

Melodramatic narrative, not the usual Factinate style. Pass.

[@Factinate]

Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate your thoughts on the narrative style and will keep them in mind for future videos. We do believe this video is worth watching, so please give it a shot!

BONZO forever 🤘❤️

[@KookieMonster-d8n]

Sharp dude early in his career,got decadent later, typically.

[@luvbasses5487]

“…you’re only half as good a singer as I am a drummer” - is how John introduced himself to Robert when they first met.

[@volpeverde6441]

bonzo was unique....style and attack.... his boozing/drugging/daemons destroyed him....like moon the loon.... .....just when zeppelin were making a comeback....

[@StuartHanson-fo7iw]

Is this a tribute or a character assassination?🇬🇧

[@Semprefi]

What is wrong with this content creator. I enjoyed the video but you gotta be smart enough to not highlight replies that are factually incorrect. It makes you look as ignorant as the person you highlighted which isn’t a great look for someone trying to gain a following

[@poorlydunbarvideos1472]

Kinda sounds like you wear braces. If so, dunno how you can speak for long times. Mine destroyed my lips. Cheers

[@SamBroadway]

John was the only one that did not sell his soul to the God of Crowley.... He was a heck of a drummer

[@turnsufficient4971]

Incorrect - John Paul Jones is the only one who didn't sign a pact with the Devil. Nothing happened to Jones

[@inwardk]

I love Led Zeppelin, and John Bonham was a good drummer, but he sounds like a thug.

[@cornfusedatbest3980]

😂 Your obviously very young or very inexperienced. That sort of behavior would be considered mild compared to what we have today. Maybe "Highly spirited" would be a better definition. No?

[@jdemarco]

​@@cornfusedatbest3980No.

[@jimred5700]

He was actually the most endearing of men. Wonderful company. Alcohol was his downfall. And even the worst incidents were the results of self - alcoholic - medication to help him cope with being away from his beloved family.

[@Birchsongsltd]

Honest to God when stories like this started to emerge it changed forever how I viewed the enterprise called Led Zeppelin and not in a good way. Violence like this is the weakness of small men. Evil Kineval once broke a man's arm with a baseball bat because he didn't like what the man had written about him. Knuckle-dragging stuff.

[@eugenegilleno9344]

The Gay voiced commentator seems at odds against the Hard Rock music of Led Z. Kinda spoils it for me, feeling false.

Who benefits from a video like this? You make a slew of factual errors as well. You are making judgements out of the time the events occurred. The world has changed massively in the last fifty years...

[@Stublinsky]

In an industry of sleaze, Led Zeppelin was the sleaziest rock band in the history of modern popular music !
