It's kind to cant our picks one six Jason bonhams
led Zeppelin Evening Palace Theater, December fourth, The Man the
Myth himself on the phone.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Jason, Hey, Jason, Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
We're good. First things. First, how's your mom? Because we
know you had to peel away from some of the
tour dates with Sammy to check in on your mom.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, that was really caught me, you know, totally sideswiped me.
On the day of the La Forum show, at four
point thirteen in the afternoon, I get a phone call
from my sister to say that mom had collapsed with
a possible stroke. At first we saw it. Later on
(00:40):
we found out it was way more than that. She
then got flown to another hospital with a significant brain bleed,
which then she had to have surgery for actually three
surgeries to stop it from the swelling and to stop
the bleed. Very delicate, very you know, I mean, I
(01:04):
must say, my mom is a very very young mom,
and so she's not like the average seventy five year
old woman. She's more like a fifty five year old
trapped in an eighty five year old body. And to
see her the way she was was. It was a
total shock.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Let me lighten this load for you too for just
a quick second. Okay, by the way, all three of
us have lost our mothers. It's a horrific, painful.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Thing he has lost.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well have gone through struggles like this. But I will
say this, one of my last great drunks was with
Jason Bonham in Birmingham, England, lying on the floor of
Ian and Katrita's wedding. Do you remember this, Jason?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Obviously not. It must have been a good one.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think we share like a very similar sobriety day.
Like after that party, I went my own way and
I got sober, and I think you went what is
your sobriety day?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My sobriety was an October first, two thousand and one.
Oh no, okay, all right, good for you, for both
of you.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Jason led Zeppelin Evening, encompassing the hits from the iconic
band's entire career at the Palace Theater on December fourth.
Did you want to say something, Jason about Quinn sobriety?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I mean, I mean, just anyone that can when you
when you stop doing something that you really enjoyed for
a long time. It's like anything you I admire anyone
that does. Obviously there are things out there to help you.
But that's you know, it's one of my final.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Things, furnest memories, Jason lying on the floor on our
backs in the bathroom of that little inn. And you know,
I've never expected you to remember this, by the way,
but for me.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Ian's wedding and I speak. I've just literally spoke to
Ian a minute ago and I said, Ian, Ian's wedding
is still a blur to me. I remember falling down
the stairs. Yes, yeah, I fell from top to bottom.
I hit the landing and rolled and went down the
next part.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's when you're on It wasn't the bathroom. It was
the bottom of the stairs. We were awaking.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You're on the ground. I think you just joined me
down there. You would realize I felt, oh my god, here.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I didn't joined them out of sympathy.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So for those of you who don't know who you're
talking to, who is Ian I and who is he?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
The honey Droppers game, Ian Hatton from bottom the guitar
player from my and my dear friend, my best man
at my wedding, And yeah, Ian and I are still
very close.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
One of the nicest guys out there.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
He's not touring with you for the evening shows, is he?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, But believe it or not, I had an inquiry
the other day that record company reached out to me
and said, would I be interested in doing another Bottom album? Yeah?
So I was like, well, that would be interesting. So
I reached to Johnnie and then said, obviously we don't
have Danny anymore, God bless him, and we all just said,
(04:07):
as a bunch of old men, it would be really
nice to go back into a studio and do it
one more time, just try and be creative together, because
for us, we had such great times together. So when
I look back, it was such a short time of
my career, but it was a very very loving fun
some of the best times ever of touring back in
(04:30):
those days, you know, in eighty nine and ninety touring
with Markley Crue, touring with the Cold. Yeah, it was
a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That would be very cool. You have to be proud of.
Did your son just drop a new album yesterday or
on Wednesday or something?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He dropped it. It's been out now. He dropped a
new song from the EP and it's doing amazingly. Well,
I'm very very proud of him. Him doing the new
us Excited things is it was something that brought us
really close and if anyone hasn't checked it out yet,
he goes by Jagger Henry and the EP is called
(05:09):
Heartthorns and you can get it on all the usual
platforms and go to check out the new The newest
release is the last track on it called Mordal Sacrifice,
which is one of my favorites. It's such a great.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Rift, different than his dad's stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Very different. So I'm actually it's for me. It's like
I love being part of it. He allows me to
kind of help him out in areas. We went into
the studio and remixed a couple of tracks and yeah,
even though he doesn't say on the album, I got
to thank you. I didn't get a remixed by I
just get to thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Glad to hear ye are it's.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Really really good. It's great. I just watched him in
two festivals he did his first big opened up some
big festivals and it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Hey are you a doctorate?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Are you getting up studying for a doctorate? Is that
a different Jason Bonham out there.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It must be a different Jason.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
We're gonna have to call him doctor.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He must be a smart one. Yeah, yeah, he did
pretty well.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, So how is how was your time on the
tour with Sammy though? The time you got to spend
Was that a blast?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh yeah, I mean I've been with Sammy for ten years,
believe it or not. So ten years ago Sammy and
I got together and started working together on a regular basis.
So for me it was a brilliant way. Even if
I never did anything again with him, I had some
(06:46):
of the greatest ten years of my life. I got
to do that tour, which was the highlight for me
after I was at Donnington in nineteen eighty four watching
Mikey and Eddie and Alex and Dave do the last
version of Van Halen with Dave. So who you know,
(07:06):
who'd have thought it that forty years later on I'd
be playing with Mikey and the singer that replaced Dave
for the next chapter of Van Halen and doing all
those songs. So for me, it was a very very
surreal moment from this seventeen year old kid that was
at Donnington to now this, you know, fifty seven year
(07:28):
old guy on stage with Sammy and Mike playing those songs.
I mean, come on, Dreams, come.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Amaze, full Circle, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's Jason Bonms led Zeppelin Evening. We're talking December fourth
Palace Theater. You're always so generous with your time, Jason,
and we really appreciate that. Man. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, thank you, thank you very very much. And just
if anyone's seen the show before, don't worry. We are
adding new material that we've never done before into the show.
And and if we have done it, we might have
done done it once about well ten years ago when
we first started it. So yeah, we're bringing back we're
(08:08):
bringing back days, and we're bringing in Achilles Last Down.
I'm going to bring in some of the big epics. Well,
good luck with the friend of mine. Challenge me, A
friend of mine challenge me. He says, you haven't got
the boss to open the show with Achilles Last Down,
And I said, how much you want to bet?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Hey, you gotta get on Drummo.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
By the way, Oh, I keep avoiding them like the
place because I keep singing they'll give me. They keep
thinking if I go on there, they'll give me, some
complicated like Danny characters tall, and I'll be going, what
the hell, where's the one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
We gotta see? If we want to see you on
there there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Great?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, get on there man, Jason.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Thanks, thank you very much. Yeah. Just keep on them now.
They'll get me, they'll trap me down. They said they'd
be nice.
