RIP — John Bonham

Certainly rock music’s most bombastic drummer, John Henry Bonham passed on this date in 1980. Out of respect, Led Zeppelin ceased their existence and each of the three members charted their own individual course in the music industry. Led Zeppelin has reformed a mere three times since splitting up in 1980, once for Live-Aid in 1985, for Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary in 1988 and just last year for a benefit in Ahmet Ertegun’s name. Needless to say, but RIP Bonzo.

Here’s “Moby Dick” from The Song Remains The Same (1976):
