John Bonham explained
Enough of talking about people who don't know what they are doing. Let's talk a little about competence and virtuosity.
When I was a kid, there were still elders around who dismissed rock music as noise (now, it is mostly older folks who even listen to rock, of course). I liked it, though, and I loved Led Zeppelin.
John Bonham, their drummer, died in 1980 (just like John Lennon). It was, in its own way, the end of an era. The video below explains in simple terms what made him so good-- it's worth a look!
