  • I think at the time also, the media was always giving Led Zeppelin a hard time, including Rolling Stone, Jimmy Page was receiving death threats from every where and had glanduar fever problems, and yes, drugs entered the circle, started to split the band apart...it’s not an excuse, but when something like Led Zeppelin was as big as they were and getting bigger, they were taking as many lumps for who they were as stars as they were for just being targets of everyone tryin to figure them

  • I saw the drummer from Heartless Wager, a band from NY that went on to bigger things, pull a John Bonham one night at a huge party. I think that Bonham set a negative example for the kids, although he was a great drummer. Drink and drugs are bad.
