Rainbow - Can't Happen Here

[@ronwalsh]

Just amazing how prophetic some of these songs have become. Same headlines, just a different decade or four.

[@jackaction7077]

The songs and many of the movies too

[@culwin]

Ironically, many of the people who listened to this song back then, are the cause of the same problems today.

[@stluciestrength]

How is this song prophetic? I see different things from the 80’s ( Reagan, Ayatollah, 3 Mile Island,) but how does that tie into the current time ?

[@cyan.6399]

@@stluciestrength univesral constant of this earth is that there's always people in high places causing shit under the public's noses with massive consequences (conquest, poverty war etc), which is the theme of the song. right when you think the dust settles, new tech or political spaghetti surfaces and gives everyone a headache again. but it's always _new_, which leaves a lot of people in denial that it could be possible in the first place

[@huseyinkoker5707]

One of the best SUPERGROUP ever...! Long Live Rock N' Roll...

[@RenzoFigallo-ch1vz]

This song is a classic. Rainbow rocks.

[@RenzoFigallo-ch1vz]

Rainbow rocks for ever.

[@walterrezendes5716]

This video was popular on mtv and loved it then and now....crank it up

[@abdulrazakal-somali5497]

Incredible talents, Rainbow will remain one of the greatest Rock bands in our time. Who would've imagined the lyrics were written 30 odd years.

[@Carhauler33]

Released 1981. 41 years ago now. 👍

[@jesuslozano7830]

Simplemente genial

[@matthewblack7206]

Blackmore, Turner, Glover, Airey, Rondinelli... This was a goldarn Supergroup!!

[@kenklein4783]

You got that right!

[@rogerkoob9904]

yes it was....I was lucky enough to see this line up and yes,,they did this song......it was a balls performance...

[@johnnymcribblestonebreaker5910]

The lineup with Cozy Powell and Graham Bonnett wasn't too shabby either

[@tothandras1741]

I believe Don Airey was at the time in the band. He plays with Glover in a band nowadays (maaan, I forgot the name... however they do good stuff)

[@k.ottophillips4303]

Amazing how relevant this song is still.

[@tydeas67]

Blackmore's solo from 2.16-2.18 is WTF he figure to play,, how much genius that man was??

[@ivansandvik1567]

Still composing and playing in Blackmores Night listen to their latest album

[@grahamjeffries4566]

What do you mean was🐐🎸

[@mclovin9678]

Underrated.

[@mixeiliinasaridze8357]

Fantastic solo from Ritchie as always!

[@TimJacks-s7t]

I’m surprised this lineup of rainbow didn’t get way more popular than they did, maybe too ahead of their time

[@sotirisbakaimis3276]

α=another glorious example of real rock. Rhythm & lyrics from another planet!!!

[@apephanapipatoni2031]

I love this song,it's different with other rock n roll songs.

[@gontierfrancois8115]

I adore the trilogy STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES, DIFFICULT TO CURE, BENT OUT OF SHAPE..... MASTERPIECES

[@ohguy1991]

Doesn't compare to debut album, Rising, and Long live rock and roll

[@barryrammer7906]

This is cool Rainbow 🌈 video I remembered seeing it on MTV lol and a bunch of other Rainbow videos before they went trending music. 😄

[@colinglass1342]

LONG LIVE ROCKNROL ROLL THIS IS ROCKNROL RADIO fantastic vocals riche Blackmore guitar legend's

[@johnforand8340]

Song is almost 40 years ago.... Problem is, it's more relevant now in these politically correct times than it was then.... Just an absolute masterpiece

[@jdub2104]

I concur

[@jackaction7077]

Predictive songs and predictive movies. The truth was put out there in advance for those with eyes that can see it

WTF is a "politically correct" time? The good news is, Republicans keep losing.

[@scottkaye7932]

Graduation HS 1982. Keg party and Rainbow, straight between the eyes album,yea album!!!

[@razz0rric106]

Great to see Don Airy such a talented man.

[@ivansandvik1567]

you can still see him i DP!

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

Great track!

[@tydeas67]

Masterpiece, most mature Rainbow stuff, sounds similar to DP with other voice, like Blackmore always want, but Purple with Turner was completely different thing. Rainbow changed 3 singers but Blackmore was happy, energetic, improoved and with Glover toghether sound was pure Magic

[@rogerkoob9904]

as a rainbow,,deep purple Uber fan..I thought joe lynn was the perfect fit for rainbow,,dio and blackmore were an accident waiting to happen.you can't have two strong personalities like that in the same room,let alone band..graham bonnet had a great voice, but between his disco boy stage persona and his love for the bottle, "difficult to cure," was his only outing, joe lynn turner definitely was the best fit for them.his amazing voice,,songwriting abilities and powerful stage persona were just what Dr. blackmore ordered...and yes,roger glover always brought out the best in ritchie,with his spot on great but not too busy bass playing and willingness to always give Ritchie plenty of room to be ritchie ..it wasn't for no good reason no other played bass for rainbow..in the case of deep purple,,ritchie couldn't stand rod evans,who's secret desire to be tom jones was too evident,ian gillian worked out for a long time until he became a pain in the ass...david coverdale and glenn hughes.did the herculean job of replacing gillian and roger glover,,,but by the time they did "stormbringer" ritchie tired of the funky direction the band was taking ,due to glenn hughes desire to be larry graham ,declared their music to be "shoeshine music" and bailed ..they got Uber monster guitarist tommy bolin to fill his shoes and boy did he...tommy's amazing bluesy,fusiony fret burning guitar work made " come taste the band' an amazing album loaded with great music played brilliantly....but with tommy's empire state building sized dope habit interfering with shows and his ability to play..he od'd and that was that...

Great times, loved Rainbow❤💫👑💋

[@dewdew34]

Remember this one as a kid in the early MTV days. Man it was great watching these videos for the first time. Hell MTV made their own videos to fill time, just instrumental music and images . Wish i could find some of those....

[@brianlobo1512]

It was a shock and surprise to see this video on mtv compared to all the pop videos they would play back then...besides being really heavy

[@paulnolan6527]

This is an apt song to be listening to on today 9/10/2019 😢

[@hollydavis6948]

Even more so today 6/9/2020

[@loriabrams3048]

I thought it can happen here but it did.

[@jetenginethrust863]

These guys were freakin' awesome live! I'm so blessed to have seen a lot of excellent concerts in the 70's 80's & 90's OMG!!! :-) I love that guys voice! He sure could belt out some lyrics like Rob Halford back then!

[@warrensutton2nd798]

Saw em with blue oyster cult....look dorthy it's a rainbow

[@patdisaster8543]

My very first cassette tape I bought when I was 13.....love this but wanted something heavier.....so a while later got a hold of Black Sabbath 'paranoid' cassette....but still a fan of Rainbow....love this more than ever and still have my punk rock credentials.....this makes sense in this dystopian future were trapped in currently 2021.

[@MrMonte234cristo]

It would be great if Ritchie Blackmore got back together with Joe Lynn Turner to release a new studio album. Joe's one of the best in business right now and he more than deserves a reunion. The time is right for an over the top reunion of this band.

[@rogerkoob9904]

I totally agree, but it "can't happen here,' ( sorry,,I just had to)...ritchie's having a great time with his bride candace knight playing traveling minstral doing renasiance fairs and Joe lynn is probably using his multi- instrumental abilities to his heart's content...

[@timothygrayson]

A very noble song the sentiment is superb. Nice one lads.😮

[@Eltonlaleham]

This track is awesome in billions of ways and I have liked this song since it came out

I bought many of their albums! NOTICE B-52 AT 02:09 LATER I worked on the B-52 in Andersen AFB, Guam! concert August 18, 1982 IN SAN ANTONIO. Saxon opened the show. I WAS THERE IN THE FRONT ROW WEARING WHITE SHIRT WITH BLACK SLEEVES

"Easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse." Brother, the fuse is already lit and it's only a matter of time before the final explosion.

[@rogerkoob9904]

yes...but it's a virus bomb..probably our worst fucking nightmare...as a kid I saw " the omega man" with charlton heston (for those of you who have never seen it,it's about the world as the result of viral, bacterial warfare...sound familiar) and it scared the living shit out of me...at least nuclear war would evaporate everyone.....that seems(and I know I'm gonna get slagged for this one) a more humane way to go instead of waiting for some miserable,,hellish disease to get you and kill you slowly ..icbm's filled with plutonium don't seem so bad instead of some man made plague....

[@a.avcier8277]

Neighbour girl called Seden made me coffee and played this background in 83 . Ever since this song plays somewhere, I remember her dearly. Things happen in life for a reason. I need to find her doesn't matter after all those years
