The fan support throughout the years, and the new generation, has made Zeppelin larger than life.

Are people going to be more critical because I'm a Bonham? The answer is yes.

I'm English, so I can be very 'half empty.'

I have lots of memories of Zeppelin. And I know the joy it gives fans when I tell them stories. I see their faces light up.

I was thrilled to hear Mick Jones wanted me to be involved in celebrating 40 years of Foreigner. I spent three years as their drummer and had a great time.

We all have to appreciate where we come from and how wonderful our parents were.

One of my dreams was always to play alongside my father but I never got the chance because we only had one drum kit at home.

I was into the Police. I dyed my hair white-blond and wanted to be Sting.

My dad was a regular dad. At home, he wasn't Bonzo the animal. He was a very intellectual, quiet chap - not the beast we all know.

He was just dad to me. I never really looked at him as Mr. Supergroup, John Bonham.

My kids still think that, you know, other kids' parents are cooler than I am.

You know at 14, when you lose your hero - your father - that's why I hold him on such a high pedestal.

My first band, we wanted to be like Foreigner and Journey.

There's always got to be one adult in the band, I think.

To play like John Bonham is the hardest thing in the world because you're not John Bonham. It's how you breathe out of your heart. It's your emotions.

I strive to be positive. I begin every day asking myself what I can do to make this a positive day.

I loved 'Rain' and its take on the Beatles. The way they used a timeline and news reel to create a mood, and crafted set changes throughout, it was stunning.

I think I misunderstood the following in the footsteps bit, in a few of my early drinking years. I'd take any form of being compared to Dad as flattery. So if I fell off a stool or smashed up a TV set just because I was drunk, and somebody in the bar went 'Hey, man, that was just like Bonzo!' I would be really happy.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams when I was 17 watching Van Halen at a Donington Park rock festival and seeing Sammy Hagar later on when I was in the United States playing that I would end up with a band of guys I bought albums of.

It took a thing like my father's death to make me decide that I actually wanted to pursue drumming.

As a young kid I never saw myself as a drummer.

I always regretted that I never had the chance to tell Dad how great I thought he was.

I found my childhood scrapbook and there's an interview in there with dad from 1970. He talks about how long he's been playing the drums and he'd only been playing drums six years in 1970.

A song like 'When The Levee Breaks' has a very simple pattern, but it's hard to give it that feel that my dad gave it.
