Stewart Copeland's Funny John Bonham Story

[@KarmaNDuality]

Bonham would have F**ked Sting up... He almost f**ked around and almost found out. Good humor.

[@seabertotter4325]

I think that Sting would drop "trou" to reveal his mighty hornet sting on his rock star bottom and then go to down stinging Bonham repeatedly.

[@grahamjarman]

if john bonham stepped on my shoe itd never take it off again

[@adamfindlay7091]

The way Bonham hits the bass drum on Fool in the Rain, solos, then comes back to the strict rhythm is not something I can comprehend....no other could do this with one freaking foot. Sting you're lucky he didn't kick your face...standing in front of a hundred faces...

[@DAGDRUM53]

Andy Summers remembers the night he met Bonham: "I'd heard all these horror stories about him but he was fantastically enthusiastic about The Police." Not long after Zep won some music award, Bonzo accepted it on behalf of the band and told the audience it really should have been given to Led Cops.

[@aisle_of_view]

Imagine meeting so many famous musicians that you forget your encounter with John Bonham

[@SirScavenger]

Bonham would have mopped the floor with Sting, no contest.

[@caseyeisenman]

John's drums always sounded great

[@philippusviridi6527]

Its a good thing John Bonham never took a swing at Sting because he would have given him a severe ass kicking.

[@Visage-z6m]

If he ever pounded Sting the way he pounded on his drums,Sting would never make it to his old age

[@shobudski6776]

Bonham was a bricklayer before he was a drummer. If you think Sting would have taken him you are nuts.😂

Hey man, thanks for the vids. You’re doing great

[@classicrockproductions]

Thank you for the compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hearing that makes it all worth it! I hope to release more videos just like this one.

[@jamesbond4633]

Awesome these 2 great drummers meeting. Funny to think Stewart would be star struck since he is a very outgoing character. Ah well these rock stars can always surprise us!!!

[@kromedome0101]

The Ramones also had words with Sting, he was an asshole.

[@jayclarke6671]

Yea I've had that impression of him for a long time. He said once some years ago he'd give all his millions to charity and nothing to his kids. A real prick.

[@richardevans3253]

This is commendable. He doesn't want them ​to grow up spoilt . Voting Tory and becoming a members of the Conservative Party and Thatcher worshiping Shaggers . @@jayclarke6671

I just heard Jason’s bonham says he punched sting last nite in concert

[@kevinkhoy7171]

Bonham's onimus Drum sound, was a Military way of turning the 🥁 They're used Pre Battle, to cause Fear!😮

[@FrankenstienArchive]

What year was this?

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

They all are buddies.

[@billyshane3804]

Ron Bonham would have punched Thing into the next dimension.

[@robertcampbell8027]

He ASKED a question, not AXED.

[@TheAsdffaaa]

on the verge of unsubscribing. Nick Girr's slang

[@FredPena-rd5cf]

Maybe the AI voice is tryna be African American.

[@markstevens1729]

Language is a funny thing. It moves with the times. In the hands of some Americans, language becomes a hacked up corpse in a Florida swamp. Just axe anyone - ekspecially as it spreads around the globe via social media.

[@Gemini1964]

thank you. I thought it was just me. Annoying AF

[@TracyC-nj2tq]

Must be a New Yawkuh. Det awk tawk stoopid like dat.

[@scottbryant2235]

After reading some comments, I just want to say "where did the two bands rank" in music history?

[@sicotshit7068]

The Police, far far far below Led Zeppelin, not even close at all.

[@scottbryant2235]

@@sicotshit7068 Agreed. Zeppelin as well as Bonham are my favorite as I am a drummer. Just a question to the people.

[@MikeGervasi]

Yeah Bobham was a bricklayer. He would have ruined Sting's face.

[@jayclarke6671]

As great a drummer as he was he was still a terrible alcoholic towards the end of his life and sometimes also violent.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

He only got out of hand while on tour and missing home. He was never a violent drunk to his family and friends.

[@jayclarke6671]

@@lyndoncmp5751 yes true but it didn't help Zepp's image with some in the US.

[@davidmacdonald1695]

@@lyndoncmp5751So he was only a thug away from home? Sounds like a russian soldier in Ukraine. I’m a huge fan of Zep and Bonham is probably the greatest and most influential rock drummer of all time. But let’s not pretend he was the nicest person as well.

[@sicotshit7068]

@@davidmacdonald1695unfortunately some people are not nice drunks, but it’s true he missed his family while touring.

[@sicotshit7068]

@@jayclarke6671really! Most bands have the drug addicts & or the alcoholics, Led Zeppelin aren’t the only band to get a reputation. Some things are true, but I bet a lot are bullshit, critics were against them from the start, & why they avoided many interviews.

[@mickeydoodle69]

A guy that chose to call himself “Sting” was cocky? Hard to feature.

[@danielstoddart]

He didn't choose the nickname. It was given to him by one of his bandmates before he was in the Police.

[@johnkomosa9508]

rearrange stings face , ah ha , Bonham #1. The proof is in the pudding,, the Sound!

[@luvbasses5487]

…I remember hearing too that Sting had made an off color remark about Paul McCartney. Bonzo did NOT take well to this either as the two respected one another.

[@madarab37]

the word is 'asked' not 'axed'

[@michaelcohen7343]

The narrator uses an “ask” to cut down trees!!!

[@bluesque9687]

Yea Sting always gets on my nerves too... his music is too clean!

[@paulhopkins8148]

"asked" = a-s-k-e-d not "axed". the hard "k" sound comes after the "s" sound.

[@JosephCusumano-u6h]

I learned very little from this…😮 It actually made me like Sting less so yeah, thanks for nothing…

[@JessicaJohnson-mv7lb]

Ginger Bakers son is killer also.

[@operationpapercut7048]

Bs story. You would know if you had spoken to John Bonham.

[@desmondmurray5160]

Good grief lad can you not speak properly??

[@HomeAtLast501]

Axed? Come on.

[@SteveTheDiva]

When AXED?! WTF is this?

[@bradsmith7311]

Early days? Gordon is still a pretentious swat.

[@yellingelk]

I thought Sting was phenomenal in Police…(never liked anything he’s done since). Don’t think I’d ever want to meet him… having watched some of his interviews, he strikes me as a pretentious prat who sees himself as some kind of guru.

[@danielstoddart]

"Asked", not "axed". Asked, asked, asked. Practice saying it until you get it right.

[@hyacinthlynch843]

Jason is right. Stewart is a better drummer than Bonzo.

[@KIIDKYAAS]

Well then there is little that police has done that is in the same league really.

[@ERDG516]

Stewart in awe shock by meeting John, I seriously doubt that. Stewart held his own, in great shape and health up to now.

Truth be known,Jason is far better than daddy!!

[@Dragndroprecords]

Are you High?

[@rick3747]

No.

[@BillyTobin-r6n]

Jason's good but if this yo yo thinks he's better than John then he seriously needs to go to rehab and get off the ice, bra

[@troyboy2050]

Definitely as good !

[@Visage-z6m]

Jason is just another great modern drummer who evolved his technique by copycatting pioneers like his father.In that regard a lot of modern drummers could be better than Bohnam,still they didn't invent jack shit.

[@AWilliams-m1u]

Who died of being an alcoholic loser, and who is still playing great music ?

[@TheAsdffaaa]

Alcoholic winner*

[@artguti1551]

That's pretty harsh!

[@BillyTobin-r6n]

You knock a man who worked hard, was a good family man but got strickened with substance abuse problems...Your parents failed you miserably in your egotistical judgement of someone you never even met. Speaks volumes of your ignorance. Would have liked to see John give you a back hand. Mabey re start your blood flow to your brain again...😮

[@robertwheatley2471]

How about let's hear this from Stuart Copeland HIMSELF who's actually still alive instead of looking at old file photos and hearing this from some narrator...
