Keith Moon

It couldn't have been any other way... he and Bonham got along famously as soon as they met; he even got on stage with Zeppelin one night to play (and the Devil knows how "impossible" such a scene was). Keith wasn't just a great drummer like some of the other great drummers are said to be. Keith was unique; you recognized his sound instantly. He didn't need to do solos; he kept time through continuous solos. He is Keith Moon, and alongside Bonzo, he is the one who influenced future generations of drum destroyers the most. And then there was his humanity and sensitivity that were extraordinary, his pure and beautiful "madness" even more so; unfortunately, as often happens with these great souls, the restlessness of not knowing how to live, of how to fit in is the true anguish that accompanies them. I understand them very well, unfortunately. In my dreams, there's Him and John Henry smashing everything down somewhere. And the Who had to break up, for goodness' sake, Keith Moon was not just a great drummer!!!
