Video: IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER, ANTHRAX, KORN, Ex-DREAM THEATER Drummers Pay Tribute To JOHN BONHAM - Jan. 26, 2013
Nicko McBrain (IRON MAIDEN), Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX), Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), Ray Luzier (KORN), Steven Adler (GUNS N' ROSES), Mike Portnoy (ADRENALINE MOB, DREAM THEATER) are among the drummers who took part in the Bonzo Bash NAMM Jamm 2013, the ultimate tribute to late LED ZEPPELIN drummer John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham, which took over Anaheim, California on Thursday, January 24 at the Observatory. Video footage of the performance can be seen below.

Bonzo Bash founder and S.U.N. guitarist Brian Thomas Tichy (formerly of WHITESNAKE) recently said, "Bonzo Bash is a drummer's playground. There's plenty of toys and our parents taught us to play well with others.

"It is a relatively simple concept. When I first thought of this, the idea seemed too cool NOT to try. You get a John Bonham replica drum kit (courtesy of Natal Drums) complete with Paiste gong and tympani, up front, center stage, and have each drummer perform their favorite LED ZEPPELIN song with a house band (THE MOBY DICKS).

"It's such a unique night, seeing how all these great drummers approach the same drum set making it their own! And THE MOBY DICKS hold their own as a true force to be reckoned with! There is structure, and within the structure, there is freedom; freedom, groove, and volume! The combination makes the pace and vibe of this show like a backyard party right next to an annual wildebeest river crossing! John Bonham deserves it! His right foot alone deserves it!! Bonzo Bashes are always the ultimate Bonzo tribute show and that's the fact, Jack!"

But he can't pay a tribute to Bonham with just one bass drum. He needs to have two.

Like Korn or not (I don't) but Ray Luzier is a beast. The most Bonzoish of the bunch.

ray Luzier is losing his time in Korn. He comes out as the best drummer in this lot and yet he plays with the worst band of them, except maybe for Portnoy.

Steven Adler- 1 minute and 7 seconds. He misses the snare during a very simple song.

What?
Nicko is no favourite drummer of mine but if there is ONE living drummer inte world that really has a skilled single bass drum pedal right foot it is Nicko. "Where eagles dare", anyone?

He's known for playing complicated bass drum stuff and refusing a double pedal.

This is cool, all these pro's showing MAD RESPECT to legendary masters Led Zeppelin and Bonzo, who we all know are THE top shelf. It shows how good Zep's songs were...however it says something when most of these guys, as noble as the gesture is, are playing the songs incorrectly Z(i.e.The Song Remains The Same, granted a very difficult song to play, especially the second half). The bassist's, keyboards are also mostly wrong, and all these drummers can't cop the feel correctly. It's all good though, they know it, it's all about the respect.

Fucking Blabbermouth and no mention that its Gene Fucking Hoglan appearing on the one of the tracks. Gene is probably the best drummer there and as usual we have to hear about Mike Portnoy and see him doing his stupid little kiss ass wave, wearing his Bonzo shirt and headband? He is a fucking poser. Gene deserves better from this site man!

He, however, is my favorite of all-time. He's not as flashy with crazy fill type songs and solo's and etc., but he's the best for MAIDEN's Sound. For me, that is plenty enough!!!

...or was it odd watching Dave Lombardo play such a relaxed / laid-back song as Down by the Seaside?
