There's no reason to get all spastic about this; it's just a little offseason discussion.

John Bonham may well have been one of the greatest drummers EVER, but he was still a drummer. So was Keith Moon, who's also recognized as one of the greatest drummers EVER. Yet the Who continued after his death.

It's not a matter of being irreplaceable. If you think Page, Plant, and Jones couldn't have made great music without Bonham, you must not think much of them - and that doesn't seem to be the case. They just decided not to try. AC/DC is a family band, and that probably had a lot to do with their refusal to quit playing together. If you think John Bonham was more important to the sound of Led Zeppelin than AC/DC's lead singer and main lyricist was to them, you're a silly person.

Gilmour stayed with Pink Floyd until they stopped playing. I think you mean Roger Waters, or possibly Syd Barrett.
