Drummer Jason Bonham, the son of LED ZEPPELIN drum legend John Bonham, is featured in a new interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com. An excerpt is available below.

UG: You performed with Zeppelin for their one-off reunion show on December 10, 2007. Did your desire to put together the LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE grow from that one show? Can you describe what that moment felt like?

Jason Bonham: "It’s hard to describe in words. It’s one of those things when you’ve been a part of it for such a long time in some form whether it be [on the] sidelines watching your dad be with them. For me it was just a dream come true to sit in that seat as an adult and be kind of treated as an adult with them. I didn’t feel like a kid anymore. It was monumental. I mean the reviews say it was good. Obviously there had been things in the past where things hadn’t gone as well but this time everyone was prepared; we were all very, very prepared. And really, really hungry to do it and wanted to play and I think everybody, not only myself, wanted to prove something. I think everybody wanted to prove something."

UG: You bring up an important point, which is the reviews of the show, were glowing and the audience loved it.

Jason Bonham: "Everyone was on top form and on top of their game. For me, I’m looking forward to I hope one day they release the DVD of that or the CD. That would be a wonderful thing for me to have officially something with my name on it that had Led Zeppelin above it would be any drummer’s dream. Whether I’m related or not, I’ve had this conversation with quite a few different drummers in the world and I say to them, 'You know first and foremost I’m a fan.' I became a fan of their music after dad died which was a shame. It was OK when I was a kid; it was a band that dad was in. It wasn’t until he passed away that I really wanted to listen to his work and go, 'What have I missed out on here?'"

UG: So you really weren’t that aware of what your dad did until after his passing?

Jason Bonham: "For years I kind of listened to it with blinkers. I always said I listened to it with beer goggles if you know what I mean? And it was in my sobriety that I really felt that I listened to it in a whole different way. I could hear things that I’d never heard before and made notes and didn’t take anything for granted. And did my work and did the show to the best of my ability."
