LOVE IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Rainbow - Temple Of The King REACTION

[@alericksonof1967]

What often gets missed is the beauty and majesty of Blackmore’s compositional skills and sense of melody that allows Dio to apply his lyrics and wonderful vocals ….Catch the Rainbow, Rainbow Eyes…take the journey

[@fredtello]

as soon as the song ended I was saying Richie Richie Richie

[@Fuxerz]

Ritchie Blackmore top 3 guitarist in the world.

[@jonlate4581]

RICHIE BLACKMORE! Guitar LEGEND! The guy who wrote Smoke On The Water and all those classic Deep Purple songs! The band was originally called Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. When this came out most people had never heard of Dio. He's up there with the great guitarists of ALL TIME!

[@colrhodes377]

Amber really hit on the meaning of the song. Even now, after 45 years, I'm still mesmerised by this songs beauty. From the same album, I would recommend Sixteenth century greensleeves and also Catch the rainbow and Man on the silver mountain

[@TomTom-ui9hg]

I knew without a doubt that Amber would love this song. Girl knows great music. Peace!

[@Stefan-]

You should do the Ranbow songs "Rainbow eyes" and "Catch the rainbow" if you like this one since they are also softer and showcase how soft and beautiful Dio could sing, he could sing both with an angelic voice and scream and do it at the highest level. For the song "Catch the rainbow" i can really recommend the live video from Munich in 1977 (great concert video overall with other songs as well) but the studio version is great as well but they are quite different also.

[@jalkabre5904]

I second Stefan's suggestion. The Munich 1977 version is special

[@CubsFan2023]

Ronnie's incredible range allowed him to sing both hard rock and softer ballads. For the former, you might like "Starstruck" and "Kill the King", and for the latter, I'd suggest "Catch the Rainbow".

[@georgewallerlll496]

Yes, "Kill the King" is a much better song than "Temple of the King", IMO. Also, "Long Live Rock and Roll"!

[@bradsimpson9396]

Kill the King is INSANE

[@ziggy107]

I agree on 'Catch the Rainbow' - same vibe.

[@robharrowven6674]

This and stargazer are my favourite rainbow songs.

Amber & Jay, here are some good Rainbow songs to react to: "Self Portrait", "Tarot Woman", "Stargazer", "Lady of the Lake", "Kill the King", and "Sensitive to Light".

[@Funktastic_Ed]

You need to listen to the Black Sabbath's album "Heaven & Hell" Dio replaced Ozzie and the alchimy is amazing. Songs like "Neon Knight", "Children Of The sea" and the title track "Heaven & Hell".

[@terrysmith5839]

This is one of my favorite Rainbow songs also . Amber if you want to hear another song like this try Catch The Rainbow by them. I love watching you guys

[@davidrold9770]

Finally, back to some Rainbow 🌈 Great song. I was so glad you mentioned the guitar. It drives me crazy , I hear it all the time. Let's check out some more Dio with Rainbow. It was Ritchie Blackmore's band. That's why there was so many singers & musicians. When he got tired of them , they were gone. Hell the first album which is what songs from was called Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Ritchie Blackmore has always been my favorite guitarist. He's what drove Deep Purple. Don't get me wrong, always great musicians in both bands, but Blackmore drove those bands. I can't believe you guys haven't done Stargazer yet. That is also with Dio. Also I think you guys would love Catch The Rainbow. Blackmore's playing & Ronnie's voice are just beautiful.

[@Fuxerz]

He is a Mount Rushmore guitarist easily top 3 in the world

[@albertatencio2557]

Rainbow got me into rock when I was 11years old. In the 70s I'm still a fan. If you want a fast banger song try " kill the king". Or the live album Rainbow on stage .. try "still im sad"

[@Alirkson]

Catch the Rainbow from On Stage is why God invented the Strat..

[@kostaskarachalios-jt1wd]

Both songs you mentioned are killers ,nice Hearing those classics for the first time😂 f.. im old

You must do the Rainbow song Catch The Rainbow.

[@Alirkson]

And Rainbow Eyes ... Catch the Rainbow live from On Stage...the reason God invented the Strat

[@helindove2237]

Loved seeing Rainbow back on the channel! I have 3 suggestions for you. 1. Rainbow with "Catch the Rainbow". 2. I'm going to ask you again. Haven't you reacted to Deep Purple's "Child in Time" yet? It's not often that I recommend a live version over the studio version. But I think you'll appreciate the musicians more when you see them playing their instruments. Their 1970 live performance on a British TV show almost sounds like the studio version anyway. And it's a killer song! 3. "The Rain Song" a great ballad by Led Zeppelin.

[@tommcclary8689]

This is one of my favorite Rainbow songs. Check out Rainbow Eyes, Catch The Rainbow, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves, Stargazer, A Light In The Black and Man On A Silver Mountain.

[@Uniquemum73]

Yay! My favorite Rainbow song! Finally! ❤🌈

[@dermot2747]

You'll love 'I Surrender' - such a great hit back in the day for Rainbow.

Another Russ Ballard song!

Great reaction, Rainbow always has the power to suprise. This is why they have been one of my favourite bands for 45 years.

[@tomthomas2646]

Wow. Never thought I would see you 2 doing this song. So much great music the world never gets to hear. And this is one of them....... Wow. Great. Thx...

[@resin3100my]

I lived for a while in the town Ronnie was born and raised in.After his death,the town named a road after him.The name of the road is Dio Way.When I first moved there,I kept hearing people talking about this road.I had never seen the actual road signs,so when people talked about it,I thought they were saying D.O.A.,as in dead on arrival.When I actually drove on the road and saw that the name was Dio Way,I felt like an idiot.

[@scottmalott7805]

Gotta check out Stargazer. Best Rainbow song. RIP Ronnie James Dio and Cozy Powell.

[@adrianmorris5546]

A such a totally underrated masterpiece just love this

[@surlechapeau]

J & Amber, you'll love their "I Surrender" and "All Night Long"!!

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Great Song, love the ending acoustic. 'Man On The Silver Mountain' from this same album would be nice next perhaps. I was going for Rainbow in the Dark next as well but you've heard that. Perhaps 'One Tin Soldier - The Original Caste' (1969)? I have two suggestion's for your "Covers" reactions. 1. 'Deep Purple - Hey Joe' 7:25 >(Look for the one this long) 2. 'Eva Cassidy - Fields Of Gold' Search "Fields Of Gold (Live At Blues Alley)" My opinion of course but I say both surpass the originals and these are the best ver. Cheers.

[@ShySypher]

PLEASE LISTEN TO STARGAZER! it's a great song and I truly believe that Dio reaches the pinnacle of his amazing singint along with Blackmore's amazing playing!

[@clarkditter5975]

It's great that you guys really appreciate Ronnie Dio. I'm not sure if you realize that Rainbow was formed by one of the British guitar heroes of the late 60s/early 70's - Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. Ritchie has created so many famous guitar riffs. I would recommend Deep Purple "Mistreated" live 1974 in California (with "new" singer David Coverdale who later formed Whitesnake) and Rainbow's first ever single "Man on the Silver Mountain".

[@audiogarden21]

The guitar on this song alone is what propelled Ritchie Blackmore to the top of my favorite guitarists of all time list, pretty much tied with Kim Thayil.

[@WeiChengFang-b6n]

This one is my first lovest Englisg song... I found the CD in my dad's collection, I fell in love with it.

[@fortunesinsongcovers4995]

Catch the Rainbow from the same album has similar vibe. I like it even more!

[@garryleblanc4002]

I hope you both check out Dio as a member of Black Sabbath, after Ozzy was fired from Sabbath Dio stepped in. And delivered a series of powerful hard hitting tracks for them over the next 2 years. I highly recommend Heaven and Hell, Children Of The Sea, or Neon Knights....great hard rock classics. Peace and love to all from your friendly neighbor from the north..... 🙏❤️😎🇨🇦

[@andycybonutwalters7900]

Mr Ronnie James Dio, saw him several times in concert. He put on great shows! Holy Diver and Last In Line are my 2 fav from him

[@jeffschelling2064]

Brilliant playing and composing by Ritchie in this one. Beautiful freaking song!

[@DGSPhoto]

Great reaction guys! So many classic songs from this band, many as mentioned below, but for me it's that guitar that makes it every time! I'd love for you to be the first that I know of to do one of their instrumentals, such as "Weiss Heim" or "Maybe Next Time" - tracks where lyrics are never needed. Or, indeed, move into his latest band, Blackmore's Night and check out the likes of "Beyond the Sunset", "The Messenger" or his tribute to Jon Lord, "Carry On Jon" - they just get better and better!

[@neilwade9870]

Love this era of Rainbow ! Nice one guys 👏

[@garyarnett1220]

This IS called "Blackmore's Rainbow". Guitarist Blackmore from DP branches out a bit.

[@BoyNamedSue4]

Now you got to react to his time on Black Sabbath. Heaven & Hell is a must.

[@KalThuemler]

Ritchie Blackmore is on Guitar this was his band he was one of the best for sure!

[@otnoirhc]

If you haven’t done it already you should do Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow, if you really want your minds blown do the 18minute live version that is on youtube!

[@dariiofernando]

is one of my fav Rainbow songs too ☺

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

This 1975 song was an early indicator that Ritchie would wind up essentially as an acoustic solo player in recent years. The rest of the band is Ronnie's old band Elf, which had worked with Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover a couple of times (he produced their debut album), and Dio sang on Glover's 1974 solo album. That's how the connection to Blackmore was made.

[@stefanboskovic4724]

Rainbow Eyes shows off Dio's voice to perfection

[@lnbarnes917]

I’ve never heard of this band before! Loved this song❤😊

[@jeremiahrose4681]

What?

Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water has one of the most iconic riffs known. Most music stores have banned that riff because everybody uses it to test guitars. Thanks for the correction.

[@jalkabre5904]

Check out the song "Catch the Rainbow" and "Rainbow Eyes" if you like softer ballads. They have some great songs that are harder as well.

[@renecuellar3078]

How is that even possible

[@TheMinster1960]

You really need to react to the Rainbow track, Catch The Rainbow. It's beautiful, and Ronnie's vocal exhibits such grace. It proves he wasn't just a heavy metal belter. He could go with the mellow flow too.

[@Alirkson]

What many folks often miss are the wonderful and majestic composition skills from Blackmore which allow for those great Dio vocals to soar. It is that magic between Blackmore and Dio that is so rare in music ...check out Rainbow Eyes or Catch the Rainbow or the live version from On Stage - the reason God invented the Strat

[@carcarjinks1430]

between his stints with rainbow and black sabbath, ronnie did guest vocals on two gospel songs by kerry livgren ---"mask of the great deceiver" and "live for the king" kerry wrote the lyrics in such a way that ronnie didn't know what he was really singing about until after the recording was complete. the words sounded mystical and mysterious, which is exactly the vocal style ronnie gave them. unintentional brilliance.

[@jalkabre5904]

One of the reasons why Rainbow is one of my favorite groups. Amber will love "Catch the Rainbow" and "Rainbow Eyes", two of the softer songs by Ronnie. Ritchie Blackmore mixes neo classical music so well into his songs. He is still doing similar songs with the group "Blackmore's Night" with his wife. Check out the song "Fires at Midnight"

[@vicprovost2561]

Ritchie Blackmore is in my all time top 10 guitarists, to not only hear but see why, do any live Deep Purple in 1970 - 1974, a remarkable period of guitar at its best or any Live Rainbow in 1976 - 1980, more Ritchie at his best. California Jam 1974 would make modern listeners blow their minds! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

This is definitely one of my favorites, along with Gates of Babylon, Stargazer, and A Light in the Black (which is actually a sequel to Stargazer)

[@AdmiralDonkey]

Ritchie Blackmore is ressponsible for some truly iconic riffs. Love Rainbow & Deep Purple. I think you'd like a song from one of his other projects. "Ghost of a Rose" by Blackmore's Night (Ritchie and his wife) has a pretty unique style to it, almost like a fusion of 'medieval'/gothic rock, classical and folk.

[@RichardJones-u6c]

Guys. If you want to hear Rainbow at their best you simply must listen to Stargazer and Light in the Black! Two absolute epic tracks!

[@jenniferallred9367]

YES!!!

[@jamesfarrell4016]

The Dio years with Rainbow is iconic

[@jeffreycook2112]

Catch The Rainbow is a slower type of song, kind of similar to this one. I think you guys will enjoy that one also. And you might want to check out Rainbow Eyes. It’s a beautiful ballad that was actually performed at Ronnie’s celebration of life. If you want a real banger, check out Stargazer, with the legendary Cozy Powell on drums. Just in case you guys didn’t know, Ronnie replaced Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath for a few years. You really need to listen to Sign of the Southern Cross. You guys are really going to love that one!

[@thunderspike1892]

Check out Tarot Woman from their second album Rising. Phenomenal keyboard intro by Tony Carey. On the Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow album they had Mickey Lee Soule on keyboards

[@AVARAFIELD]

One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

Spiritual, yes, that says it Amber. Nicely pointed out. And the bass (and drums) like you say, are a nice understated accompaniment. The only thing I wish was different in the song would be for a different set of lyrics for the 2nd verse, instead of repeating those of the first. Great choice of song, enjoyed your reeaction.

[@jimt3611]

Man on the silver Mountain! One of the best Rainbow songs!

[@amirokareem3535]

This is my first time listening to Rainbow, nice.

[@sumonjamal1653]

A rare Ronnie James Dio ballad... He wasn't very keen on making ballads - he was more into the heavier side of rock & metal. But when he did 'dial down' and sing mellow, Dio sounded incredible 🤘🤘 "Catch the rainbow" by Rainbow is another slower song that he brought home... Dio (the band) did have the odd ballad - 'This is your life' ... 'Between two hearts' ... 🔥

@@davidrold9770 Well, I think they were trying to distinguish between RJD, Bonnet and JLT, which are three very different sounds. But yes, it's a crime to do a Rainbow song and not mention Blackmore's name, not even once. Great song, though. Glad they liked it.

They do three awesome cover songs written by Ronnie Dio: 1) The Temple Of The King 2) Holy Diver (Lead singer Johnny Gioelli). 3) I Will Survive (Lead singer Rob Rock, along with wicked lead guitar work by Axel himself). ARP also does fantastic cover songs by the following people and bands: 1) Beautiful Day - U2 2) In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins 3) Forever Young - Alphaville 4) Stone - Chris Rea. ARP also has an awesome catalog of rockers, metal ballads and some rockin' instrumentals. Here is a long list of their really good songs: 1) Oceans Of Time 2) Dark Waves Of The Sea 3) Don't Say Goodbye 4) Northern Lights (Great song!) 5) I Believe In You (Good tune!) 6) You Want Love 7) The Gates Of The Seven Seals 8) Ashes From The Oath 9) Sea Of Evil 10) Forever Angel (Great metal ballad!) 11) Broken Heart (Best song version posted by: Dale Limpid). 12) Fool Fool 13) Angel Eyes (Great rocker!) 14) Earls Of Black (Great rocker!) 15) Dreams Of Passion (Instrumental) 16) Serenade Of Darkness) (Rockin' instrumental!) 17) Your Life 18) Carousel 19) Saint Of Fools 20) Tear Down The Walls (Great rocker!) 21) Tales Of The Crown 22) The Masquerade Ball (Another great rocker!). * NOTE: There is a long list of songs but you rockers won't be disappointed.* ENJOY!

Cool song. Never heard of Rainbow when I was listening to music in the 1970s; didn’t get airplay on my radio stations. Hey Amber; sporting a new Tom Jones T-shirt; is that a hint for a suggestion??? If so, check out “Green, Green Grass Of Home”, an American classic song made famous by the Welsh singer in 1967. Jay will like it too, as it is a crooner type song. Elvis also recorded it, in 1975, and is also worth checking out. Tom Jones recorded it after hearing it done by Jerry Lee Lewis earlier in 1967.
