    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Thanks for the post. I enjoyed the band and will look into them some more. So far I think they are less Rainbow sounding than some of the other bands in this thread but still well worth a listen and I'll check out their albums. Any other bands you might recommend (they don't have to be exactly...

    This one from Black Country Communion definitely reminds me of Rainbow:

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    It's not that important but if I write "the Rolling Stones are a good example of this:" and then follow that colon with a clip from the Beatles, it's odd for what I think are obvious reasons. I'm thinking that what comes after the colon is an example of what you described before it (as is...

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Because in a thread asking for band that sounds like X when someone writes that "Y sounds good to me" and places a colon after that and a video, then what follows after the colon is taken to be an example of what has just been stated and not a new thought. No big deal but I thought you had...

    Cool tune (did you mean to post that though after citing White Rat?)

    Also do people know Rata Blanca from Argentina? They and guitarist Walter Giardino have played with Joe Lynn Turner, Glenn Hughes, Ronnie Romero etc

    What do people here think of Avatarium and what Europe and Opeth do these days?

    Good call I was listening to the second album earlier today in fact!

    I am also loving Avatarium who really have a Purple and Rainbow vibe. They can be epic sounding but also soft with light and shade:

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    This song is a good example of what I mean from the latest album by Europe who have really impressed me with how much they have improved. They are like a different band today:

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Thanks...they came up earlier in the thread. They seem more like Dio in his metal phase to me rather than the period I most enjoy which is the 70s with Rainbow. Do you have any other suggestions? I wonder what modern bands especially people here might like (even if they don't sound like...

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    So, I thought I would post the track which most reminds me of classic Dio era Rainbow...Slither by Opeth which is something of an homage to Kill the King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx1Pqpn75xk Can anyone think of anything else along these or other lines? I appreciate any suggestions!

    what are some EPIC rock songs??

    Both are awesome but you left out Gates of Babylon and Man on the Silver Mountain :)

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Thanks but I am not expecting to find carbon-copies...so I am not sure what concessions you would like me to make. I referenced Gates of Babylon, Stargazer or pieces like Temple of the King, Rainbow Eyes etc which are I think a mix of hard, progressive and perhaps Medieval stylings. Rainbow...

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Thanks again for the references. May I ask what songs you have in mind as I am listening to a few things on Youtube and so far I am not hearing a huge Dio-era Rainbow vibe? Thanks

    Anymore suggestions?

    Live versions that are substantially better than the original

    Rainbow's Mistreated, Catch the Rainbow, 16th Century Greensleeves and Man on the Silver Mountain are all better on On Stage as far as I am concerned... Also Deep Purple's Lazy and Child in Time on Made in Japan :)

    Dio/Rainbow-ish bands?

    Thanks I did look Zool up though I couldn't find much on it besides a few reviews which I did read though I was able to locate other albums by people from the band which were vaguely in the ballpark too. I agree with your assessment from what I have seen so far... The suggestions don't have to...

    Thanks I knew Merryweather but had never heard Winterhawk; they sound a lot like classic Rush which is nice. Any other suggestions :)?
