Bonham in Led Zeppelin after his death, though the band decided to break up instead. He also briefly started his own band called Storm. He played on Kerry Livgren's debut solo album Seeds of Change (1980), and Yngwie Malmsteen's debut album, Rising Force (1984). Barlow has a recording studio, The Doghouse, on his property in Shiplake, Oxfordshire, England. He is currently managing a band from Henley on Thames called The Repertoires, and has also been linked with other local bands which echo his own folk-influenced musical history, such as Reading's Smokey Bastard. Barlow played percussion on "Artrocker," the opening track of the 2006 album Get Your Mood On by London indie punk band Dustin's Bar Mitzvah. On 28 May 2008 Barlow guested with Jethro Tull at Royal Festival Hall in London, performing "Heavy Horses", "Thick as a Brick" and a concert-closing "Locomotive Breath", where he and Doane Perry both played the drums. Drumming technique Barlow is known as a very technical and creative drummer. He was called "the greatest rock drummer England ever produced" by John Bonham. In a comment on his drumming for the Jethro Tull albums he said; "I've always admired people who invent—and on a percussion level, I admire inventors of rhythm. I tried to strive for that in Tull, but now I go to great lengths to advise the drummers in the bands I'm managing not to play anything like I used to play in Tull, because it was so busy and over-the-top." Barlow has cited Joe Morello, Buddy Rich, Ringo Starr and Michael Giles as being among his primary influences.
