We were playing Rising yesterday evening and I realised what a superb track Run With The Wolf is. A superb album overall.

Nearly played RAINBOW RISING the other day funny enough (ain't played it for many years) and yeah it's a GOOD album without a doubt, favourite tracks probably TAROT WOMAN, STARSTRUCK, DO YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES although the fan's will go for STARGAZER and maybe A LIGHT IN THE BLACK, yeah RUN WITH THE WOLF is a ok number but a bit slow and plodding for my liking though. :grinthumb

Gotcha. ;)

I like Bonnet, always have. From Rainbow to Alcatrazz to Solo to MSG to Impelliteri, he's got a pretty cool voice. I think him and Ritchie just mixed like oil and water (something that Ritchie seems to have in common with almost every singer he's worked with). That and his "look" was really odd for Rainbow back in the day, with the short chopped blonde hair and the Don Johnson Miami Vice look on stage.

:heheh:

I have most of Graham's appearances on CD (except for Impellitteri's System X), including his solo Line Up.

A great voice, but a bad lyrics writer.

I don't know how to put it, but it feels like he tries to cram too many words into a song and over-complicates it.

He didn't write anything on Down To Earth, so that's one of my favorite "Graham" albums. He just lets his voice do the work.

That said, Dio is my favorite singer by far, though I love all Rainbow.


A great JLT track from EP & Final Vinyl.

Listening to that one now. Really good song. I prefer it to Tarot Woman because the opening keyboard bugged me a bit. lol

So far Difficult to Cure is my favourite Rainbow album. Got a nice bluesy rock edge to it.
