Keith Moon vs John Bonham?

[Stoner]

Bonham was better IMO. However, the God of drummers is and will always will be Neil Peart.

 

[Wicked Jester]

Moon all the way. Nothing against Bonham, just think Moon was incredible.

But still, neither Moon nor Bonham could hold a candle to Ginger Baker.

 

[Mr Natural]

You know what they call people who hang around with musicians?
















Drummers

Keith Richards?....

That's tough to say. Both were great at getting drunk. I'll go with Keith Moon as being the biggest drunk.

I have a long running joke about the Rolling Stones and their aged longevity being the product of a deal with satan.. and that we are literally watching them turn into zombies before our eyes...

Bonham#1 Phil Ehart from Kansas is awesome.

What has Jimmy Page done that's worth listening to since Bonham passed, that's how great Bonham was

It's no coincidence that Bohman killed himself after Zappa introduce Vinny Colaiuta to the world. Sorry, someone had to say it.

Bonham took one listen to "He Used to Cut the Grass" and realized how futile it all was.

YouTube - Frank Zappa - He Used To Cut The Grass

yea....Vinny was a monster Drummer.....here is a story about him.....

About Colaiuta's ability to play Zappa's notoriously complex music, guitarist Steve Vai told the following story:

“ He's one of the most amazing sight-readers that ever existed on the instrument. One day we were in a Frank rehearsal, this was early '80s, and Frank brought in this piece of music called "Mo 'N Herb's Vacation." Just unbelievably complex. All the drums were written out, just like "The Black Page" except even more complex. There were these runs of like 17 over 3 and every drumhead is notated differently. And there were a whole bunch of people there, I think Bozzio was there. Vinnie had this piece of music on the stand to his right. To his left he had another music stand with a plate of sushi on it, okay? Now the tempo of the piece was very slow, like "The Black Page." And then the first riff came in, [mimics bizarre Zappa-esque drum rhythm patterns] with all these choking of cymbals, and hi-hat, ruffs, spinning of rototoms and all this crazy stuff. And I saw Vinnie reading this thing. Now, Vinnie has this habit of pushing his glasses up with the middle finger of his right hand. Well I saw him look at this one bar of music, it was the last bar of music on the page. He started to play it as he was turning the page with one hand, and then once the page was turned he continued playing the riff with his right hand, as he reached over with his left hand, grabbed a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, continued the riff with his left hand and feet, pushed his glasses up, and then played the remaining part of the bar. It was the sickest thing I have ever seen. Frank threw his music up in the air. Bozzio turned around and walked away. I just started laughing."

Neil Peart in my mind is totally overrated.

 

[eots]

Who do you think was better?

well moons projectile vomiting was second to none....but bonhmas ability to be drunk enough to urinate in his pants but still keep a beat was immpressive

 

[JamesInFlorida]

I think Bonham was better at actual drumming. With that said I think Moon was better at putting on a show. Either way you look at it both are two of the best drummers ever.

Not saying he's a bad drummer or anything, but we all know Morbid Angel's a one man band. And I think Portnoy is the best drummer in metal.

 

[skookerasbil]

Peart is the best technically.........Bonham to me is a slightly better than average drummer who joined an mega-great band. Styleistically however, Moon is a goof he was so unique with the helter skelter style that always works. Over the past 40 years, his stuff has just become epic........

 

[skookerasbil]

For sheer speed......nobody touches this guy.........Billy Cobham........not sure he's actually from this planet though...............
