JASON BONHAM On LED ZEPPELIN's Celebration Day - "There's Still An Amount Of People Out There Who Would Probably Go, 'Well, It's Not The Same Without John Bonham On The Drums"
November 2, 2012, 11 years ago
Drummer Jason Bonham spoke with Billboard about LED ZEPPELIN's return to the spotlight with Celebration Day and how he deals with being under the shadow of one of the greatest drummer's of all time - his late father John Bonham.
"There's still an amount of people out there who would probably go, 'Well, it's not the same without John Bonham on the drums -- and I would agree," the younger Bonham says. "But see the film, and then afterwards if I'm playing near you, I think you would be more appreciative of coming to see me after you've seen me play with 'the real thing,' if you know what I mean.""I'm not trying to be Led Zeppelin," he adds. "My view on this is I love playing this music. If people are interested they can come along and share the journey with us. We just want to represent the music to the best of our ability and give something to the people that loved my father and the music so much."
