"BONZO: 30 Rock Drummers Remember the Legendary John Bonham"/Greg Prato [Episode 2] May 15, 2021

Show notes

Few rock drummers remain as universally praised as Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. Listen to any Zeppelin album, and you will hear a virtual showcase on expert rock drumming – while never getting in the way of the group’s other members and their contributions, singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, and bassist John Paul Jones. But sadly, one of rock’s all-time greats died tragically young – he was only 32 years old – resulting in the end of one of rock’s most celebrated bands.
To mark 40 years since his passing, "Bonzo: 30 Rock Drummers Remember the Legendary John Bonham" has been assembled – comprised of interviews with some of the top drummers of rock (including Kenny Aronoff, Mike Portnoy, John Dolmayan, Brian Tichy, and Steve Gorman, among others), discussing what made Bonham such a special and unforgettable drummer.

Show notes

For the debut episode of Booked On Rock we talk with Frank Meyer, author of two great books on the Ramones!
ON THE ROAD WITH THE RAMONES: Throughout the remarkable twenty-two-year career of the Ramones the seminal punk rock band Monte A. Melnick saw it all. He was with the band for over 2,200 shows, from their very early CBGB dates to their final show in 1996 working his way up to be the bands tour manager.
Monte tells his story of what it is like to be on and off the road with the band. Full of insiders' perspectives and exclusive interviews and packed with over 300 personal color photos and images; this is a must-have for all fans of the Ramones. The Ramones are Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers, Recording Academy Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winners, MTV Lifetime Achievement Award winners, Long Island Music Hall of Fame Award winners and inductees into The Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

WHEN THE WALL OF SOUND MET THE NEW YORK UNDERGROUND: "When the Wall of Sound Met the New York Underground: The Ramones, Phil Spector and End of the Century" explores the collaboration album between two rock legends. New York punk trendsetters The Ramones had spent years cranking out influential albums that failed to set the charts on fire, so it was decided they should team with legendary '60s producer Phil Spector to make that elusive hit album that would take them to the top. But like most thing in the world of The Ramones, things didn't quite work out the way they planned.
Guns, drugs, affairs, death, mannequins and madness ensued as the band attempted to fuse their style with the work of an esteemed madman. All the while the band was shooting the Roger Corman b-movie Rock 'n' Roll High School and burning the candle at both ends. The result is the misunderstood classic, End of the Century. Penned by On the Road with the Ramones author and Streetwalkin' Cheetahs frontman Frank Meyer, "When the Wall of Sound Met the New York Underground" unearths the most fascinating story in the Ramones saga.
