QUOTES BY Jason Bonham


Songwriting is a difficult thing, but it's not so bad when you remove the barriers you put up yourself.

We were both into motocross. My dad would wake me up at 6:30 on weekends, brew some coffee and make some sandwiches for us. Then we'd spend the day racing together. I know he had this reputation as being wild and irresponsible, but I never saw any of that.

The thing with Led Zeppelin songs is that they were never the same. They were very fluid and tight but loose.

Led Zeppelin was Led Zeppelin when John Bonham was on drums. It's timeless.

Joe Morello, my dad was really into him and Little Richard's drummer.

Every drummer I've ever spoken to or read an interview with - my dad is always in their top three. I'm honored to share his name and represent him all these years after he's gone.

When I do the Led Zeppelin Experience I feel sort of responsible and it's a more nerve-wracking gig.

When my father began playing for Led Zeppelin our family was living in a 14-foot trailer.

Dad was pretty solid. He had great grooves and there was occasional moments of sheer brilliance with fills and things, but in general, the sheer brilliance is the simplicity, how much groove, how much feel he had, all the subtleties that we miss.
