I Remember In The Early Days When

I've Always Been Obsessed With Drums. They Fascinate Me. Any Other Instrument - Nothing. I Play Acoustic Guitar A Bit. But It's Always Been Drums First And Foremost. I Don't Reckon On This Jack-of-all-trades Thing. I Thing That Felling Is A Lot More Important Than Technique. It's All Very Well Doing A Triple Paradiddle - But Who's Going To Know You've Done It? If You Play Technically You Sound Like Everybody Else. It's Being Original That Counts.

My Names John Bonham, I'm A Drummer And I'm Potty About Cars.

I Remember In The Early Days When We Played Six Nights A Week For A Month And I Was Doing My Long Drum Solo Every Night. My Hands Were Covered In Blisters.

Drumming Was The Only Thing I Was Ever Good At.

Most Of It Was Nuts, But I Was Determined To Be A Drummer As Soon As I Left School.
