Bruce BeckerGUEST
You need to get like a little rock sensibility.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
And for those guys who were only just rock guys, I'd go like, you got to start to listen to a little bit of jazz and kind of, you know, give some more roundness to your time feel and bring a little bit of that bounce like a John Bonham who was, you know, influenced by Max Roach.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
Previous guys to that period and all the Motown drummers, of course, but all those guys had like a jazz input in their youth, like a Carl Palmer or a Mitch Mitchell.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
I would always say Mitch Mitchell sounded just like the rock and roll Elvin Jones.

And there's a real need for it because if you're not in the, you can listen to, you know, John Bonham do a triplet and you could figure it out.
Ryan EstesHOST

Ryan EstesHOST
And so, and, When I was thinking about that, and I was thinking about what's the point of writing songs if I could be like, make a band for me with Bob Marley on vocals, Jimi Hendrix on guitar, John Bonham on drums, and just make an album for me.
Ryan EstesHOST
I'll just listen to that.
Pablo StarrGUEST
No, it's messed up.

Martin PopoffHOST
These are kind of guys that are almost uncommonly important drummers, and they've done it the pure way by just being super exciting and interesting as drummers.
Martin PopoffHOST
So John Bonham goes without saying Led Zeppelin didn't want to continue without him.
Martin PopoffHOST
You know, that that doesn't get said about drummers very often.
Martin PopoffHOST
And and people, when they talk about Led Zeppelin, spend a lot of time talking about John Bonham.
Martin PopoffHOST
Dave Lombardo and Slayer also has that kind of interesting legendary status.
Martin PopoffHOST
And it's almost kind of cool that he's not on every album and he's he's a creative and goes on to do crazy things on the side like like Fantomas.
