Led Zeppelin - Interview Today Show 2003 (Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones)

I love how Jimmy doesn't allow himself to get interrupted by journalists. He just keeps talking over them until they shut up.

Bonzo is irreplaceable. How hard is this to understand??

[@RK_peace]

It’s quite painful and disrespectful!

[@dreadpirateroberts4052]

@@RK_peace It is actually. who knows, maybe zeppelin didn’t really understand that the fact that they were so big is mainly down to Bonhams sound on the drums.

[@zoso1980]

Because to many bands and a popular convention holds that drummers are replaceable. Some are yes, Ringo Starr does the 4/4 beat and it might not be noticed if someone filled in for him at a Beatles gig. Bonzo took in so many unique directions and played TO the band not WITH the band. Bonham's inherent flourishes created sparks and dynamics that only Bonzo could replicate. You simply don't replace a drummer that plays as an equal in your band. A similar analogy is Rush without Neil Peart. Neil's sound and technique were as much Rush as Geddy and Alex. Same with Bonham. A different era, when drummers were allowed to be integral to the bands they were in. Today, that's not the case.

[@dreadpirateroberts4052]

@@zoso1980 absolutely spot on!!!!!! That’s the best comment on drummers I’ve ever heard!!! No one could ever attempt to replace the likes of Bonham or Peart in a million years but Ringo star is an act my mother could cover with a bit of practice!!!!! Well done you!!!!

[@La_sagne]

recently some dude told me that bonzo was an average drummer.. i told him im a decent drummer for 13 years and we cant cover zeppelin with my band because i cant play it.. he said i should stop playing if i cant play better than bonham after 13 years.. what he doesnt get is that plenty of people including me can play the same notes... very few can make them sound good and none can make em sound as good as bonzo did

Led Zeppelin are unique in that they are TRULY the only iconic band that had the exact same members from start to finish. The same 4 all the way. Even the Beatles had Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best.

[@anak6379]

[@vettezeppelin]

Clearly Plant doesn't want to be there. The only time he says anything is to point out the synergy between Page Jones and Bonham on Achille's at Knebworth. No mention of himself feeling it too. Hard to imagine not wanting to be in Led Zeppelin but clearly Plant is and has been glad to be out and resents the lil tie he still has to have with it. I do admire the fact that they aren't out there hobbling and fumbling around flogging every last bit of cash from the Led Zep legacy. They definitely haven't tarnished it one bit and good for them!

[@IPerfectDark]

Page wouldn't let him get a word in edgeways, you can see plant keep trying but he's shot down every time and then any further attempt is edited out.

[@kroakie4]

“What is stopping Led Zeppelin from jumping on stage?” “You never could find anyone who could take John’s place on drums!” People need to quit asking why Led Zeppelin won’t regroup. It’s like they always expect a different answer from what they know will be uttered. Led Zeppelin has made it clear that it’s not because they wouldn’t be able to find another great drummer, it’s because there was only one John Bonham and he’s the only drummer they wanted. They think it’d be dishonorable to put somebody else in John’s place in their band.
