[@markboyd1696]

Always loved Joe Lynn Turner's voice. So underrated. He can nail the aggressive songs and then turn around and nail something like Street of Dreams. Respect.

[@BrianYoungauthor]

No, he is NOT 'underrated'. I am sick of seeing that stupid word thrown around. If he, certain bands or music were, we wouldn't be discussing them and they wouldn't be famous. Underrated bands/singers/etc. are usually barely known at all, or have a small underground following. So using this word doesn't make you a Hip person because you like them, it makes it the opposite.

[@Dethmeister]

Yeah his voice is like a combo of Steve Walsh, Paul Rogers and Lou Graham. Great.

[@MsJagger19]

I agree. I actually prefer Joe Lynn Turner-era Rainbow rather than Graham Bonnet/Ronnie James DIo-era Rainbow. That's not to say that the two previously mentioned men weren't good singers, it's just I prefer Turner's voice a little more.

[@Dan66632]

He is a great vocalist but had big shoes to fill with Ronnie James Dio

[@vinnykster]

@@Dethmeister I agree. Very similar range to Lou Gramm. Stone Cold is almost like a Foreigner tune only more edgier and cooler. And I could hear JLT definitely singing Foreigner songs and sounding perfect.

Joe Lynn Turner is extremely refined and sophisticated... Very often underrated and misunderstood by heavy metal heads... He is like a beautiful wine - just gets better with every album...

[@philbrown1474]

One of the best there ever was. JLT.

[@billybandyk0720]

​@@philbrown1474Completely agreed, Phil. The manner in how JLT carries a tune SPEAKS MAJOR VOLUMES!!!!! When I say "carry a tune"; that means when the rhythm changes abruptly, he maintains an evenflow thru-out the song w/o missing a beat. The only singer that can match w/JLT is Gil Moore (Triumph's drummer who also splits lead vocals duties w/guitarist Rik Emmett).

I'm so glad this video among others is now available here on KZbin on the official Rainbow channel. Good quality versions were almost impossible to find a few years ago. This song and the album was my first taste of Rainbow when I was a kid back in 1983 or 1984. It was also my introduction to the whole hard rock or heavy metal genre! I wish I'd seen the video back then but I only got to see it many years later. This song was the best thing I've ever heard and the solo section is excellent! David Rosenthal's Minimoog solo is still one of the best. It's very well constructed, skilfully played and melodic. It even mimics the sound of an engine and changing gears. How cool is that!

I actually had an early VR-prototype version of this racing game when I was a kid. It was a Tomytronic 3D device where you look into the binocular-like eyepieces as you tried to steer the car without crashing. That was a hard game, let me tell you. Seeing the game in Rainbow's video brought that memory back.

[@euanelliott3613]

Ritchie playing Death in the back of the car. He said it was tongue in cheek, but I've thought for a long time that Blackmore would have made a fine actor: image, presence and a cut glass accent. All the constituent elements.
