My Nerves Before A Gig Got Worse;

I Never Had Any Lessons. When I First Started Playing I Used To Read Music. I Was Very Interested In Music. But When I Started Playing In Groups I Did A Silly Thing And Dropped It. It's Great If You Can Write Things Down.

I'm The Best Keith Moon-type Drummer In The World.

My Names John Bonham, I'm A Drummer And I'm Potty About Cars.

I Don't Consider That I'm Particularly Influenced By Anyone Or Anything. But When I Started Playing, I Was Influenced By Early Soul. It Was Just That Feel, That Sound.

Not Everybody Likes Or Understands A Drum Solo, So I Like To Bring In Effects And Sounds To Keep Their Interest.
