A ZPZ show is an incredible thing to behold. There is zero selling out going on there. In fact there’s a real sense that Dweezil has found himself through his father’s music, a humble servant to a musical legacy that deserves to live on under the family name.

thehague Mar 29 2013 at 10:30 AM	Hman, can you give me a hint as to where to find that Pat Boone rendition (being a big fan of that particular Pat :-))?
Tom Rudd Mar 29 2013 at 9:05 AM	I understand what you are saying Hague, You make all good points.Yes and hopfully some day he can break those Led Zepplin chains and play drums on his own merrit.
thehague Mar 29 2013 at 7:33 AM	Like what Dweezil Zappa is doing with his father’s legacy, Jason’s rendition can be seen as homage to his father. However, it can also be seen as the easy way, taking advantage somewhat of a name and a reputation. If it were done tastefully: okay. But indeed this rendition is a bit over the top. I can’t help thinking this is easy and safe commercialism, probably suggested by the record company (I don’t dount Jason’s integrity in any way). It’s a pity moreover, as Jason is indeed a very promising rockdrummer. He can be succesful all on his own merit. Be my guest to like it however.
Tom Rudd Mar 28 2013 at 8:56 AM	"The Jason Bonham Experience" Is a tribute to Led Zepplin and his dad. Just as Dweezil Zappa does with his fathers music. You consider playing the music of one of the greatest rock bands of all time being lost........?? Jason Bonham is a rock drummer, and a good one to. For the time being, i say no better place for him. He will find his way. He already has.
hman01 Mar 28 2013 at 7:34 AM	There actually could be a whole CD made of all the "Stairway to Heaven" remakes.Dolly Parton,Pat Boone,Stanley Jordan,just to name a few.
thehague Mar 28 2013 at 3:57 AM	If Jason devotes himself to this commercialized shit, then he will be lost. Such a pity, because he is a promising drummer.

Tom Rudd Mar 27 2013 at 11:13 AM	I don’t know, looks like a very slick live production to me. Quite an arrangement. Plant & Page seemed to like it plenty. You certainly don’t want to play a lame version with them sitting out there. And lets face it, Ann Wilson just kills it.
franksexton Mar 27 2013 at 9:48 AM	dgaw59, to each his own. Maybe it overdone to your taste but I know know where you think it was pompous.
dgaw59 Mar 26 2013 at 3:36 PM	Bloated, pompous and overdone. Yuck.
franksexton Mar 26 2013 at 12:31 PM	I viewed this link which is a performance of Led Zepplin’s Stairway to Heaven. Great vocals , I loved the supporting choir, in total the performance transended the original without dimiinishing it, amazing. Thanks for posting this . Pretty funny lead-in with Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer also.
