Keith Moon never came up with something completely new or original. That's not the greatest comparison.

:crazy: >< >_> Are you kdding? The bombastic style of drumming, him replacing the high-hate with another cymbal, his chaos and sheer energy. All these things made Moon's drumming unique.

Name one person before Moon who drummed like he did.

Right, he drummed good, but like, as a songwriter. If we're looking at his ability to write music, good music, then I wouldn't rate him very high.

His solo album is actually pretty decent. Though not a lot of it is original material. His cover of "In My Life" is almost as heart wrenching as the original, knowing it was made not too long before he died.

Okay, so it's actually all covers. Oh well.

Just because he didn't write anything doesn't mean he wasn't creative. He improvised, and I guarantee you he never played exactly what Pete wrote. He changed it to his style. Either way, how much did Bonham write?

That's fine. I know them all pretty well.
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright.

Didn't he write "I Need You", Moon?

And technically, John helped write a ton of Zep's music.

He wrote Cobwebs and Strange as well as I Need You I think.


Like I said, it doesn't matter if Keith got the credit, he was very creative on the drums....

Lol, well back on topic, I have honestly not seen anyone who can go crazy on drum fills while at the same time have cymbal noise in the background... he makes it look so effortless and it creates an awesome wall of sound.

Yes. Neil Peart also came nearly 15 years after Moon was doing these things.

10 then? I don't really care, he was influenced like crazy by both guys in this thread.


Wiki: Early in his career, Peart's style of playing was deeply rooted in hard rock where he drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene.
