RIP John Bonham

It’s too bad that Bonham didn’t live long enough to perform post-Led Zeppelin. It would have been interesting to know if there was another side to his signature style; I would hope he would not have used his 26" kick drum (a major influence on Led Zep's sound).

As for side projects, he was still playing LZ beats, including some unnecessary bass triplets...

This should interest Bonzo fans; I always suspected he learned some licks from Carmine Appice...

Read the header, looked at my wife and said, man it's been a bad week, first Charles Bradley now John Bonham, 10 to 15 seconds later, oh yeah, damned Sr moments.

Read the news about Charles Bradley as well. Fortunately,  thanks to iTunes, of which I'm hardly a fan, I downloaded two albums just the other day.  Damn good singer. 

The first time I heard anything by Chris Whitley he was two years dead already. Blame the lack of good FM radio, nonetheless I set about getting everything he recorded just from one song.  

I kind of wish that Bonham's son could have his own career and not one that has him paying endless tribute to his father, but he genuinely seems to enjoy doing so, and people seem genuinely appreciative of it, so what the hell. 

@oblgny , thanks I will check it out.
