Happy Birthday Bonzo

Shame you had to leave us. We really miss you you know. The rest of the boys kind of lost heart after you self destructed. I suppose though, its a bit like Neil Young says, "Its better to burn out than it is to rust" damn but you sure did that man.. Its a shame the rest of the boys kind of lost heart & disbanded the group after you left us, because man were you boys going places. Do you know that you are still revered today & that even the young ones are digging your music ? Yep, no bullshit man..




This clip is 7 odd minutes long & it doesnt go right to the end of the track, but this is Bonzo doin what he did the best. Its off The Song Remains The Same, & is memorable to me because of the appearance of his son, who now fronts his own band called , strangely enough, Bonham.


Lastly, this rare clip from 1980, showing a modest man of few words being interviewed by Billy Connelly. Happy Birthday John Bonham, we miss you
