Four Sticks

John Bonham 1971

Jimmy Page >>“Four Sticks“, I remember, we tried that on numerous occasions and it didn’t come off until the day Bonzo who was just playing with two sticks on it and we tried all different things, then one day he picked up two sets of sticks, so he had four sticks, and we did it. That was two takes, but that was because it was physically impossible for him to do another. I couldn’t get that to work until we tried to record it a few times and I just didn’t know what it was and I still wouldn’t have known what it was, we probably would have kicked the track out, but then Bonzo went and I’m not going to repeat the language he said at the time, but it was nothing to do with the fact that it was taking a long time. We had actually gone in to try on a fresh occasion and he just picked up the four sticks and that was it.<< Quelle
