From blairndrums

Premier designed the "suicide throne" too....Yes,it was nice of him to send the pics....How did you meet him?I met him for a split second years ago.....before he played here with BONHAM.....

Blair long store I'll just give you the short of it, He did a last minute booking at a club near my house with The Healing Sixes the entire audience count was maybe 25 people. after the show the crowd was of course grilling Jason with questions about this dad. I walked up too Jason and asked Jason hey when are you and Mac going riding, Mac is Jeremy Mcgrath Multiple World Moto Cross champion, Jason and Mac are very good friends. Jason was going too start racing here in the USA. Jason himself was European champion, But after his Dads death switched gears ,stating that their needed to be a Bonham playing drums. So he gave up his very promising Moto Cross career to carry on the bonham name, The crowd at the show had no Idea what Jason and I was talking about, Jason asked me and my best friend if we would like to go to the Nudie bar with him and his band. of course I did. we have been buds since that day. He emails me from time to time and likewise.

Your drummers not much good is he!? What you need is someone that's as good as me. ! John Henry Bonham !!

Great story VM2K!! Jason is a very down to earth person...I have never had the privilege to meet him yet, but, a couple of my drumming buddies have and they had said that about Jason...

I can`t wait until he goes back out on tour with Black Country Communion again...Great band, great drummer!!

Cheers

The pic of Bonzo playing on a Paul Mcartney session was as part of the "Rockorchestra" as part of the concert for Kampuchea.He's playing a Staccato kit, he can be seen playing in that particular concert (pics of) in the 2 Bonham books.
