Well, John Paul Jones never drowned out the rest of the band with his keyboards. Might have drowned out a lesser drummer, but not Bonzo. And the synth parts on Who's Next were complimentary as opposed to a lead instrument. It was still built on power chords from Pete & the Ox, and again, a drummer who wasn't about to get drowned in the mix,
Wasn't the case with Alex. He actually became part of the problem by switching to those wimpy synth drums for a while in the mid 80s. The lack of "bottom end" on 5150 & OU812 was as responsible for those albums sucking as the synthesizers or Hagar's lyrics.
