“My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the ti...” — John Bonham Quote

“My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.”

“Sometimes you'd come up against a brick wall... or sometimes you go into a fill and you'd know halfway through it was going to be disastrous.”

“I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters.”

“Working at a restaurant is a tough gig.”

“The worst thing that happened to me at a gig was when the microphone wasn't on one time, and for the three lines of the verse with Chipmunk, you couldn't hear me.”

“The day we struggle to enjoy what we do and just get the gig over with we'll quit.”
