Happy "would be" Birthday to the late great John Bonham. Without a doubt, he was the greatest drummer of his time and probably of all time. Past, present, and future; the man set the standard on what a drummer should strive for. He wasn't just another supporting party with no say acting as a backdrop for the real band like Ringo Starr. Bonzo had a voice that would greatly be followed by Jimmy Page and had his name on most of the songwriting credits of Led Zeppelin's big tracks. He was loud, he had presence, he had creativity, he had style, and he had incredible skill. I don't see too many drummers like him these days, but his influence is undoubtedly evident. RIP and Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham. Cheers mate.
