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.

I think the marketing needs work.

My names John Bonham, I'm a drummer and I'm potty about cars.

I don't consider that I'm particularly influenced by anyone or anything. But when I started playing, I was influenced by early soul. It was just that feel, that sound.

Brushes..? Nah. Hit 'em as hard as you can.

I have no qualm about the quality of the contemporary repertory.

Most of it was nuts, but I was determined to be a drummer as soon as I left school.
