161.1 | Long Live .......... | RAVEN1::JERRYWHITE | Big Brother's watching you | Wed Jul 27 1988 10:39 | 8 |
| My fave has to be "Long Live Rock And Roll", classic Dio sound.
It has a mystical flavor to it like Dio's later stuff. This is
a good candlelight/headphone ablum to me, especially "Gates Of
Babylon".

161.2 | Don't forget my favorite! | POWER::STARR | aka HAZEL::STARR | Wed Jul 27 1988 13:26 | 15 |
| My favorite Rainbow album is the one not listed in the base note,
'Finyl Vinyl'. This is a 2-LP live set, which is comprised of live
cuts from vrious times in the bands history. Although it centers
on the era with Joe Lynn Turner, there is also some stuff with
Ronnie James and with Graham Bonnet singing.
Also very good is the video 'The Final Cut', which is a collection
of conceptual and live videos. Especially good on this is "Spotlight
Kid", "Power" (which has Richie going nuts on the poor Strat!),
and "Difficult to Cure" (which has an 80-piece orchestra rising
up behind the band to jam with Ritchie - great!). The conceptual
videos are only OK, but the live clips are some classic Rainbow.
(Unfortunately, nothing on the video with Ronnie James.)

Sorry I've forgotten "Finyl Vinyl", and I even have it on CD.
You seemed to like RAINBOW a lot, and I do also.
What did you think when DEEP PURPLE rejoined for Perfect
Stranger... coz I was kind of sad.

161.5 | bad sense of timing | POWER::STARR | aka HAZEL::STARR | Wed Jul 27 1988 14:15 | 9 |
| Well, although I saw Rainbow live, I didn't really start getting
into them until recently, so I was happy Deep Purple got back
together (especially when I saw them on the 'Perfect Strangers'
tour - they were hot!). But now I wish I could see Rainbow again,
especially since the last Purple album wasn't that great ('House
of Blue Light' -Zzzzzz).

My favourite rainbow album is "rising" dio's performance on this
is superb.I bought the first album and was dismayed with the mediocre
performance on it,the songs are good but the performance was very
plain.So I was reluctant to buy "rising" when it came out,but I
think it is one of the top albums I have bought.I would recommend
it to anyone.

161.8 | I'm always backward | CSC32::G_HOUSE | Gad, I just coughed up a cheese ball | Thu Jul 28 1988 14:36 | 7 |
| I was just the opposite. I got the first one and loved it, then
when "Rising" came out, I thought the songs there were rather droll.
That was before I played (or attempted to play) an instrument, so
I would have been listening to the songs, not analyzing the
performance.

Rainbow Rising blow me away every time I hear it. Its great stuff.
And the best _EVER_ ballad is a Rainbow track on the Dificult to cure
album. (I can't remember the title offhand) - its German).

| Since this note hasn't seen some action in a while I decided to
write in it. Rainbow Rules! My favorite album is definetly Rising
and ny favorite song is Difficult to Cure Live at the Budokan in
Tokyo. (It's on final Vinyl) Can anyone tell me how many albums Dio

Long live Rock-n-Roll

| Straight through the eyes is a decent LP. I like the tunes Death Alley
Driver and Stone Cold. I saw them in concert about 8 years ago.
Ritchie blackmore was with 'em. He s*cked %#*@. The rest of the band
was cool.

The one I know RJD is in are:
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Long Live Rock'n'Roll
Rising
On Stage
The first ones in fact (not sure about "Down to earth"). Of course
you'll find RJD in the "Best of Rainbow" and in "Finyl Vinyl".

161.15 | The Man on the Silver Mountain | SHAPES::COURTNEYM | They had Rainbows in their eyes | Fri Jul 14 1989 23:23 | 12 |
|
My favorite is "Kill the King" from "Long live Rock and Roll"
Of all the albums, "On Stage" perhaps, with Richie Blackmore blues.
I prefer the Dio / Bonnet albums, but Difficult to Cure is quite
good - esp the title track...When DP played at Knebworth in '85
they played this with Laser show of a handjiving Beethoven an' all!
ps. does anyone think the early Yngwie Malmsteen albums sound like
Rainbow rip-offs?

161.16 | Yngwie = Ritchie ? | CASEE::LALLI | Didier - BCE Valbonne - ext. 828.5423 | Mon Jul 17 1989 08:56 | 9 |
|
I really do found that Yngwie's "Odyssey" sound a lot like Rainbow with
Graham Bonnet. I think this is due to the voice. I think it's Yngwie's best
album, specially in terms of voice. It's the first time I really like his singer
His album is no longer a_lot_of_my_fantastic_guitar_playing_with_a_poor_voice
but a real album with guitar+voice+bass+drums(+keyboards)

161.17 | Yngwie used to cover Rainbow tunes! | HAZEL::STARR | What do ya do when you get lonely...? | Mon Jul 17 1989 13:12 | 11 |
| > ps. does anyone think the early Yngwie Malmsteen albums sound like
> Rainbow rip-offs?
Yngwie is a wicked Blackmore fan/clone! When he was in Alcatrazz, with Graham
Bonnet singing, they covered "Since You've Been Gone" and "Long Live Rock and
Roll". And I remember on the back of his first solo album, he noted Richie as
a big influence (along with Mozart and Bach, of course...).
I'll take Richie anyday.....

161.19 | Yngvie: Good Enough? | DNEAST::EASTMAN_JAME | | Thu Jul 20 1989 13:35 | 8 |

I'm not quite sure of the reactions to Yngvie(s.p.?). Would you
recommend any of his albums to Rainbow fans? My favorite Rainbow
is with Dio. How close does Malmstein come to this sound?

161.21 | | MARKER::BUCKLEY | That child blew a child away | Thu Jul 20 1989 13:49 | 2 |
| I liked Joe's vocal's on TNT's Intuition lp a lot!! He mixed really
well with Tony I thought.
|
161.22 | Turner and Malmsteen | RIGEL4::JBONNO | | Thu Jul 20 1989 16:17 | 4 |
|
Turner added something extra to Malmsteen. He could sing a lot
better than the other guy Yngwie had. His songwriting helped Yngwie
on his last album. I would highly recommend "Odyssey".

| > Has anybody out there seen the video for "Death Alley Driver"?
I'm pretty sure that its available video they put out as a companion piece to
the 'Finyl Vinyl' album a few years ago. It has some of the concept videos,
plus some live shots (including a great live version of "Difficult To Cure",
with a huge orchestra rising up in back of the band to jam on the song!)

161.27 | straight between the eyes | FROIS1::THERTH | a smile, two bangs and a religion | Mon Aug 31 1992 06:51 | 14 |
| Maybe somebody can help me.
I'm looking for the Compact Disk of "Straight between the eyes".
I'm told, that it's an import from the US. I heard about a four
week long delivery to England, but I'm not sure, if it's the same
here in Germany.
So here is my question: could somebody please look if it's available
and how much it will cost.

161.28 | Temple of the King? | QCAV01::ANIL_V | | Mon Jan 24 1994 11:07 | 10 |
| Hi all Rainbow fans!
I am reading this notes file for the first time. I am surprised that no
one has mentioned about 'Temple of the King' - my all-time favourite.
How come?
I thought it is one of the best Rainbow numbers.
