Impellitteri - "Stand In Line" (Full Video with Guitar Solo)

[@camilosanchez442]

The most underated singer in rock history...

[@zechariahlapier6836]

Camilo Sánchez and he hits those notes live too. Really impressive

[@ZachHighwind]

Most underrated singer in music period, Bonnet can sing anything effortlessly

[@faustoorieta]

Considering how good he is and the fact that he's been with Blackmore, Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Impellitteri, Giardino, Joe Stump; I'd say that he indeed deserves much more recognition.

[@kainnosgoth7336]

+Jman Rising Bonnett was MUCH older than the members of the band, perhaps old enough to be the father of some of them, and he went up there and kicked ass and took names in what was a GREAT album. Way to show those young pups, Graham! Thanks to you and the other members of Impelliteri for thegreat show I got to see back in the day, hearing this song live was a blast!

[@Rattles02]

There is a video interview with Richie Blackmore. Richie and Graham had quite a battle about Graham's short hair when Graham was in Rainbow.

[@dariorodriguezdeamerica]

like a tool with a gay haircut at 60, yeah, sure, rock on grampa...

[@troyevitt2437]

After two years of guitar lessons, I started growing my hair long in PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL against the handbook which said boys' hair wasn't supposed to touch the ears or collar. Why? Because Metal was my tribe, not Christianity, which depicts its founder as having long hair anyway. So no, pipes are no excuse for looking like the Tribe of WHAM! and Pet Shop Boys...Oh, I'm a male so my hair isn't supposed to touch my ears or collar or I will look like a woman. That's what a PENIS is for. It goes into the groupies as long as they're 18.

[@stevenatkinson1228]

This song is so rad and the laugh coming out of Graham adds a sinister charm you can't help but love.

[@stormshear3722]

never compare anything to anything. Every form of music has an inspiration but still creates its own unique sound. We should all respect it, not criticize it.

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Bonnett was a good vocalist, and the fact the he was this short-haired guy somewhat older than the other band members was a unique shot in what otherwise was copycat hair metal. He's not even a shadow of his former self now, but this is one time when he shined. Albeit the past, I give credit where credit is due. Good job, Graham!

[@JuhaniPaasikangas]

Hmm, I saw him 2009 or 2010 and he was very fine, of course older but good.

[@juliereminiec4937]

What happened to Graham Bonnet's voice?

[@jacksprat4037]

@@juliereminiec4937 What Happened to Grahams Voice? He aged 40 years, other than that he sounded fine (fine meaning incredible and outstanding and on point) every time I saw him in the past 20 and the guy saying he isnt a shadow of his former self is full of unique hot air that neither speaks truth nor reveals information.

[@jacksprat4037]

Not even a shadow of his former self?? 9 years later since your comment and ten or so solo albums and Msg / Alcatrazz records later Graham Bonnet stands the test of time as a Golden Statue of his incredible self and his history stands as a shadow of pride. What a load of hot nonsense to call Graham washed up. Graham sounds and performs the same. I saw him perform three times decades apart and I can tell you that each time he nailed it. Go do your homework and dont assume.

[@Flamindaemon89]

Clearly the guy never saw or *heard* Graham perform live any time recently in the last 4 decades but even today. He is one of the all time greats for sure even today. An absolutely incredible performer@@jacksprat4037

[@dewycatt2112]

He may be another Yngwie copy, but he does have his own sound. I always thought that whole albulm was excellent!

[@madden7732]

His sound might be due to its harsh picking sound. His pick attack is harder than anybody's. Yngwie's is softer. Both very precise and clean.

[@juliereminiec4937]

Alex Masi was a Yngwie knock off

[@5zazen]

@@juliereminiec4937 Each guitarist has their own unique timing. There is only one Yngwie and his bizarre sense of time. People saying "speed" have no idea of muscle physiology, picking style and interpretation of chords.

[@hbc431]

impellitteri is better than yngwie imo has nicer phrasing and faster plus can play with more variation instead of just neoclassical (im a huge yngwie fan saying this btw)

[@JMMcC69]

The common denominator between Yngwie and Impelliterri is Blackmore. Even in their stage moves can see that they are both disciples of Ritchie.

[@Andragorans]

That was awesome! I can only pitty the young generation now for not having the opportunity to feast their ears on real music like this one.

A warrior? I guess with hat stupid Army haircut...If you're IN the Army/Service that's one thing, but Bonnet had been told SPECIFICALLY by his then-employer, Richie Blackmore, to grow the damn hair.

[@troyevitt2437]

Some of the hairstyles went too girly, like teasing and bleaching, but simply the absence of cutting naturally results in long hair, but Bonnet and his stupid Miami Vice wardrobe and his Army Recruiter haircut stood out like a sore thumb. He was a studio performer at best. Ronnie James Dio was right for telling Vivian Campbell to grow the Sacred-Heart-era mullet out or find another band. By Whitesnake, Campbell had grown his hair out. His replacement, Craig Goldy, had hair almost to his waist.

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@troyevitt2437Grahm was great live and had one of the best careers there is. Great album after great album. Women don't cut their hair. Short hair made him standout among the long haired hippie freaks. Who cares about a man cutting his hair? It has nothing to do with the music. I guess we shouldn't listen to Dio because of his short stature and dungeons and dragons lyrics. Miami Vice was huge in the 80's and I'm not seeing a Miami Vice wardrobe in this video. Any army recruiter would be blessed to look like Grahm Bonnet. Are you in any position to call someone girly with the way you obsess about long hair and wardrobe? I think you only like bands you are attracted to. You really were a bunch of closeted f#gs back then. You probably whacked off to DLR's assless chaps. Grahm isn't showing enough skin and curve for you.

[@freebirdforever2674]

@@mr.brenman2132 I absolutely 1,000% agree with you! However Graham gets tons of criticism for being "shouty" or "throaty." I love it! He has so much soul, but he gets a lot of flack too for the uniqueness of his timbre and approach. When I first heard him it was on Impellitteri's Stand In Line. The rasp in his voice took me a minute to get used to because of all the smooth sounding vocalists that were coming out of the woodworks at that time. So my comment is a bit subjective in that respect. Nonetheless, Graham is amazing and one of my all time favorites!

It is quite amusing to see short-haired Graham Bonnet surrounded by a bunch of long-haired rockers in the video though. But one of my favourite moments of this video is at 4:08 when you see the drummer happily grinning and drumming away. He looked like he was having fun. That gets me every time.
