כמה שאני אוהב את ג'ון בונהם - זה לא זה.
ג'ינג'ר היה מזן אחר - כמו שאמרו עליו רוב המתופיים הגדולים בסרט הזה - וכנראה ג'ון בונהם וקית מון שהיה אגדי גם הוא - אבל הם לא היו מוזיקאים ברמה שלו. הם היו מאוד מפוקסים במה שהם עשו ולא הסתכלו הצידה.
ג'ינג'ר התחיל ממקום אחר - קפץ לרוק - שינה את פני המוסיקה ביחוד בסגנון התיפוף ובחשיבות התופים ליצירה. וברח למקומות אחרים לגמרי - כמו מוסיקה אפריקאית ומוסיקת עולם , רגאיי - הוא אכל מהכל .
לא סתם אמר עליו ארט בלקי - אתה מתופף כמו כושי - וג'ינג'ר מעיד שזה המחמאה הכי גדולה שהוא קיבל.
גם אני יכול להביא אין ספור ציטטות ממוזיקאים/מתופפים שג'ון בונהם היה האחד והיחיד, למשל:
Several of these drummers have testified to Bonham's influence, such as Roger Taylor of Queen, who stated:
The greatest rock 'n' roll drummer of all time was
John Bonham who did things that nobody had ever even thought possible before with the drum kit. And also the greatest sound out of his drums—they sounded enormous, and just one bass drum. So fast on it that he did more with one bass drum than most people could do with three, if they could manage them. And he had technique to burn and fantastic power and tremendous feel for rock`n`roll.
Dave Grohl has said:
John Bonham played the drums like someone who didn't know what was going to happen next—like he was teetering on the edge of a cliff. No one has come close to that since, and I don't think anybody ever will. I think he will forever be the greatest drummer of all time.
Similarly, Chad Smith has remarked:
To me, hands down, John Bonham was the best rock drummer ever. The style and the sound was so identifiable to one person. Any drum set that he would play, it sounded like him.
Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones told Guitar Player's Jas Obrecht:
John Bonham is the best at being John Bonham and doing what he does. Or did—unfortunately, he's dead. He was the best. There wasn't anyone better than John Bonham at doing that, and thank goodness we've got some records hat you can hear it.2]
Eric Carr, former drummer of Kiss, stated:
At least 85% of all of the rock drummers today have gotten influences from Bonham, and all have recognised how great he was. Every band in the business – guaranteed – has tried to do something with that Bonham sound, which shows that everyone from A to Z has listened to him.
Musicians other than drummers have also paid tribute to Bonham. John Paul Jones, who formed a very tight musical partnership with him as Led Zeppelin's power rhythm section, stated that Bonham was a "bass player's dream".
Jimmy Page has also commented:
One of the marvelous things about John Bonham which made things very easy [for a producer] was the fact that he really knew how to tune his drums, and I tell you what, that was pretty rare in drummers in those days. He really knew how to make the instrument sing, and because of that, he could just get so much volume out of it by just playing with his wrists. It was just an astonishing technique that was sort of pretty holistic if you know what I mean.[45]
