(Book). John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham was the godfather of hard rock drumming and he remains an idol to legions of Led Zeppelin and heavy metal fans worldwide. Although Bonham had to be courted away from more lucrative offers, he joined the newly formed band in 1968, helping guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant create such famous songs as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Kashmir" until his sudden death in 1980 at the age of 32. His unmistakable drum patterns are among the most emulated and sampled by today's rock drummers. This book is the first biography focusing on Bonham, providing a detailed track-by-track analysis of his greatest recordings, 45 color photos, and the most detailed and accurate inventory ever of Bonham's drum kits and percussion equipment.

Every Musician can learn from this book
A really fun book on one of the most influential musicians of the 60’s and 70’s. It is a great and sad story at the same time. A must for every drummers book list.

A nice insight into the Legend
Chock-full of background and early life information about Bonzo, this was a pleasing read. I particularly enjoyed reading about his influences and his growth as a drummer. Inspirational reading about the greatest of all time for this drummer. Thank you.

Must-have for Bonham fans
I enjoyed reading this book. A die-hard Bonham fan will enjoy it. As with most of this type of book, you will probably read information that was published in your other must-have Bonham book...

DISAPPOINTING
I am very disappointed. What I thought was a hard cover book turned into a water damaged soft cover book. NOT IMPRESSED
