Is John Bonham right when he said Karen Carpenter wouldn't last ten minutes drumming with Led Zeppelin?
As a drummer who has tremendous respect for both of these musicians, I feel like I should chime in. My dad introduced me to Led Zeppelin growing up, and John Bonham quickly became my all-time favorite rock drummer. Interestingly enough, Mom was a huge Carpenters fan as a teenager and I learned to appreciate their music as well. I remember watching the TV documentary on Karen Carpenter with her as a child. I was born in 1981, so I am too young to have had the privilege of seeing either musician live; all I can do is go off of recordings and video footage.My biggest problem with trying to compare these two musicians is they had very different approaches to the instrument and played very different styles of music. Pretty much the only thing they had in common (other than being drummers) is they were both at the height of their popularity in the 1970s.If you watch Karen play with her band or on their variety show (Im guessing this was a thing back then? Ive noticed that the Bradys, Muppets, etc. also had them in the 70s), especially during the Strike up the Band number, youll notice she plays a wide variety of percussive instruments. She shows off her skills on glockenspiel, timbales, concert toms, concert snare drum, a-go-go bells, and drum kit, to name a few. Her technical proficiency, sense of time, rhythm, and versatility as a percussionist are all quite impressive, especially since she was known as a pop singer first and foremost. Additionally, she more than holds her own with the professional drummer behind the band.
That being said, Led Zeppelin is an entirely different animal altogether. Bonzo was the perfect fit for that band, and Jimmy Page has famously said there would have been no Zeppelin without him. John Bonham was the the straw that stirred the drink. His sense of groove was inimitable and can never be replicated by anyone, no matter how talented. Also, with him playing three-hour shows in front of packed stadium crowds, volume, stamina, and durability were essential. Playing drums in a heavy rock band is physically demanding; I did it for 15 years in my local music scene.
Although I tend to agree that Karen Carpenter would have had her hands full trying to steer the behemoth that was Led Zeppelin through one of their legendary gigs, I wonder how John Bonham would have fared having to play so many different percussion instruments while having a flair for the dramatic like Karen Carpenter did. I actually think that while neither would be an optimal choice, theyd both do better than most people would expect playing outside of their element.I would be really interested to hear the opinions of those who were able to see both play the drums live.

Why didn't Gen. Zhukov immediately take over after the death of Stalin since he was the highest military official after WWII?
Because Zhukov was politically unstable and haunted by past experiences with Stalinism, making it hard for him to take over after Stalin died in 1953.(Photo: Zhukov about to inspect a military parade in 1946. After world war two, Stalin became jealous of Zhukov popularity, banishing him to Odessa).
After his glorious victory in the Velikaya Otechestvennaya voyna (The Great patriotic war/World war Two) Zhukov slowly became more and more critical of Stalin and the communist regime, harming his ability to become rule over Russia.This is partly due to Stalin's decision of striping Zhukov of his Military position, exiling him to Odessa in 1946, and accusing him a year later of looting during the Battle of Berlin forcing Zhukov to apologise stating: "I shouldn't have collected that useless junk and put it into some warehouse."After being humiliated by Stalin, Zhukov secretly began to question the Soviet Regime and Communist party- explaining why he was so willing to plot against Stalins former NKVD henchman: Beria, and denounce Stalinism in June 1953 alongside Nikita Khrushchev and then-Soviet leader, Georgy Maximilianovich Malenko.
(Photo: An-avenger movie like picture of Stalins inner circle. From left to right, Anastas Mikoyan, Nikita Khrushchev, Joseph Stalin, Georgy Malenkov, Lavrentiy Beria and foreign affairs minster Vyacheslav Molotov. Soon, after the death of Stalin, these men would be fighting for power over Russia).
Thanks to his role in De-Stalinastion, Zhukov was appointed Russia's Defence Minister by Nikolai Bulganin in 1955. Zhukov Hypothetically, could've used his role as Defence Minister to climb the ranks of the Central committee and eventually become powerful enough to take control of the Soviet Union after the death of Stalin.However, Zhukov still-haunted by the Humiliation the Soviet regime brung him in 1946, used his role within the Central committee not to gain more power, but Instead to bring justice. Zhukov began reopening file's of those arrested during the Great purges and rehabilitating them (something the Central committee wasn't fully onboard with).This is what prompted Khrushchev to force Zhukov into retirement. Khrushchev knew perfectly well how many officials, including ones at the highest posts such as himself, were involved in the dirty business of the 1930s. Purging members of the apparatus who were implicated in the crimes of the 1930s would risk damaging the entire Soviet system.So in 1957, the new leadership forced Zhukov to retire, accusing him of having consolidated his power too much. This killed any chance of Zhukov becoming Soviet leader in the years after Stalin.
It should be noted Zhukov never wanted to become leader. After Zhukov successfully opposed the re-establishment of the Commissar system in 1955, he stated that the military and Government should be separated from each other and that no officer should run the Soviet Union, the same way no Politician should run the Army.In other words: although Zhukov could've been leader of the Soviet Union after Stalin, however he simply didn't want the power and was to politically unreliable to become premier even if he wanted to.
