Black Dog (Remaster) Today is my guy's day, and there are no other damn things.
Choosing the first album would be madness.
#40YearsWithoutBonzo
"Bu t first, I had to get through the bachelor party. It was just me, John Bonham, and a driver. We went to several bars around Birmingham, and at the last one we found just before closing time, John said, 'Let’s have one last drink.'
Alright, one last drink... he lined up 12 bottles of Champagne and 12 glasses on that damn bar and told the bartender, 'Pour.' I thought he wanted to buy drinks for everyone, but instead, he said, 'It's for you.' 'Fuck you, John, I’m getting married tomorrow...'
'Okay, I'll drink it then.' Which he did....
The place was about to close, John grabbed the owner by the neck and rolled him down the stairs.... with the help of the driver, I managed to get him home... he couldn’t find his keys, I knocked, but Pat didn’t want to let him in the house.... 'Okay, but leave him on the first floor to sleep.' 'You won't be coming tomorrow, right?!' 'I'll be there'... I thought, 'John won’t show up, and I’ll end up without a witness.'
At eight o’clock on the dot, I see him walking up my driveway in a top hat and tails, all spruced up, 'I’m ready, and you?!'
From Tony Iommi's autobiography... great friends.
