What Led Zeppelin's John Bonham Thought of Ringo Starr's Drumming

11 December, 2020 - 0 Comments

When Led Zeppelin topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic in 1969, the rock press realized it had a story on its hands. As rumors of The Beatles’ demise swirled, a powerful new British act had emerged. And it looked as if the Zeppelin could be as successful as the Fab Four.

That didn’t change when the calendar pages flipped to 1970. As The Beatles tried out solo projects and broke up, the Zep continued selling out concert halls and released another No. 1 record. And by the end of the year Melody Maker readers named Zeppelin the top British band.

So when John Bonham and his bandmates began giving interviews, journalists wanted to know how they felt about the Fab Four and their latest release, Abbey Road. Bonham had nothing but good things to say about the drums on Beatles albums. The only thing was, he wasn’t sure whether Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr played them.
