Mi profe (si, el "hippie") me decia siempre que Bonzo fue el más grande, el que mejor técnica tenia, el más rápido y el unico drummer que debia tener como ídolo. Eso si, siempre detrás de una bateria. Como persona, Bonham no fue un modelo muy a seguir, la verdad. Murió a los 32 añitos al quedarse dormido boca arriba después de una borrachera y ahogarse en su propio vómito...
Algo que demuestra una cosa: que por muy genio que seas, por muy avanzado a tu tiempo que estés siendo capaz de dejar tu huella en el panorama musical para la historia... puedes acabar muerto de una forma totalmente humillante.
-"No, si innovó la forma de tocar la batería, dándole protagonismo al instrumento en los posteriores grupos de rock!"
-"Si, pero se ahogó en su propio charco de vómitos"
Reputación de Bonzo en el Hall Of Fame de la música: Cae 17 puestos...
Y éste es un video donde no sólo el bueno de Bonham demuestra su genio con las baquetas, sino donde toda la banda nos regalan uno de los temas que cuanto más oigo, más hace que me sienta tentado de dejarme el pelo largo, patilla y bigotes e ir con una tira de colores en la frente, a lo setentero. Como aquél profe hippie...
Como siempre, dejo la letra:
LED ZEPPELIN - FOOL IN THE RAIN
Well theres a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that cant wait for the night
I hate to think Ive been blinded baby
Why cant I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And Im shaking so much, really yearning
Why dont you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, its all right.
And if you promised youd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It aint the first time believe me, baby
Im standin here feeling blue
Yeah Im blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
Ill watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then Im turning around
The clock on the walls moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
Ive got no reason to doubt you baby,
Its all a terrible mess
Ill run in the rain till Im breathless
When Im breathless Ill run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fools kind of careless
Im just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...
Like a star that cant wait for the night
I hate to think Ive been blinded baby
Why cant I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And Im shaking so much, really yearning
Why dont you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, its all right.
And if you promised youd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It aint the first time believe me, baby
Im standin here feeling blue
Yeah Im blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
Ill watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then Im turning around
The clock on the walls moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
Ive got no reason to doubt you baby,
Its all a terrible mess
Ill run in the rain till Im breathless
When Im breathless Ill run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fools kind of careless
Im just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...
