    When I was a kid Ann Wilson and Roger ? The guitar player rented a house on our street in Tsawwassen (Vancouver area) when they were first starting out with "Magic Man" etc, Nancy Wilson and I guess the drummer woud come over to their place all the time, Mushroom records was about 1/2 hr away.. Roger would play guitar in the back yard for us kids but they never invited us inside. .I wonder why
    And yes on many tracks they reference Led Zeppelin, they also did some of their songs on some live records Stairway to Heaven, Battle of evermore, they also performed with Jason Bonham at Kennedy Center in 2012

    I've listened to several songs by Heart spread out over a period of time and still fail to hear any zep in there.

    Playing a song by a given band doesn't mean that that band is a influence. It can just mean that you like the song.

    Over the years, I've heard so many drummers say that Buddy was a big influence on their playing. At the same time, listening to them play a lot of times, there is nothing that even remotely resembles anything Rich did.

    Some people can really hear something that is a obvious influence from a different band and some people hear what they want to hear, whether it's there or not, and some people just don't hear it.

    I don't hear it. I can live with that.

    I saw that performance months ago and I thought Heart/Jason Bonham did a great job on Stairway to heaven. I was surprised to see tears coming out of Jimmy Page. Great performance.

    It's all semantics Rick. To be influenced by someone does not mean you have to sound like them. In fact I'm glad when people don't go around trying to sound like the people that influenced them.

    To be influenced by, is the same as being "inspired" by.

    all the best...

    Even if Heart never covered a Zep tune, you'd still have a solid argument saying that Zep had a heavy influence on them. I'm not talking about the drumming either.

    I have to agree with the "don't hear it" crowd.
    Heart = heavy rock-pop singles. Kinda faux-heavy.
    Zep... doesn't. At all.

    And I would think "influenced" goes more to actual performance than "inspired" which is more a "that was cool" kind of thing.

    But I'm a noob and not a Heart aficionado. So what do I know?

    You know, it's hard to pinpoint sometimes from where someone gets their inspiration/influence. You might listen to my excuse for drumming and not hear anything, but I know for a fact that at a certain point what I'm doing I took from Bonham. That doesn't mean he was the one who did it first or the one who did it really often so it was a trademark of his, it does mean however that it was inspired from his playing.

    Anyway, pretty much everything rock/hard rock and even metal in some ways after LZ is one way or another inspired from them...and our lord and saviour, Jimi

    I always smile when rock players get all the credit for certain things. One of my faves is the so called "Bonham triplets", totally regardless of the fact that Elvin Jones and those guys were doing that stuff since the fifties.

    I respect your opinion kay-gee. Yes, John Bonham was coined with "Bonham Triplets" partly because of his popularity but not without his skills backing up incredible triplet usage throughout his playing. Especially his right foot!
    Yes, it's been done before. For all we know, cave men did it too.

    Michael Derosier Drummer of Hearts earlier albums (1975 - 1982) is practically a Bonham clone, he sounds like he was heavily influenced by Bonham and Zeppelin. A very good drummer.

    There is a site that has a list and vids of early, post Zep, Bonham-sounding drummers. Some really do sound inspired, copying the sound. Check Billy Squier's drummer who nailed the Bonham fills and sound in"Lonely is the Night."

    I've heard early recording sessions were pretty primitive compared to todays standards so did John ever do any punching in on songs to fix parts or make something better? if a form of that was available

    Not sure if Bonzo or LZ ever used the procedure but it did exist.

    I'm thinking of Eddie Offord and how some of the early YES material developed.
    Bill Bruford once said there was so many splices in the tapes that once they got it all put together, the band would then need to learn that version of the composition to be able to play it live.

    Yesterday marked John's 69th birthday. I'm sure if he were still with us, he'd still be a helluva drummer.

    Happy Birthday John!

    I love everything about john bonham. Even his more simplistic tracks blow me away. Listen to his drum track for " all of my love ", just awesome.
    I also love the sound of his drums as well.
