Listening to Zep today and was reminded of how squeaky John Bonhams pedal was. It seems to be on almost ALL their songs.
What do you think??

Edit: Voted carrots- I need to eat more veggies.

I do remember a story where Keith Moon tried to play Bonhams kit and complained because Bonham used to tighten his bass drum pedal as tight as possible (and he could still play really fast). |

Can't say it would bother me if it was there, what an AWESOME drum sound! I really liked Zep for not bothering too much with the slicker points of recording and just going for good feel. |
