RAINBOW - Stone cold REACTION - First time hearing

[@stevenapolitano1056]

SUCH a great song. My fave Rainbow song. Joe Lynn Turner had a voice sent from above.

[@clannad99germany70]

All singer of that band were real great, starting with Dio !

[@mamagucci85]

OMG 😍🤩!! Literally one of my favorite songs of all time !!! Rainbow is sadly such an underrated band ! THANK YOU HARRI & whoever requested this!

[@billdCT97]

Agreed and Stone Cold so overlooked by everyone. Its fantastic!!

I first heard this song on the radio back in '93 and loved it instantly. The problem is that I couldn't find out who the artist was. So after endless visits to record stores sampling random recordings and thousands of dollars poured into CD's, I finally found this song on KZbin -- one of the great miracles of our time. :)

[@christopherdavidson4382]

Ritchie Blackmore is the lead guitarist and he formed the band after leaving Deep Purple. Blackmore is one of my absolute favorite of that era of classic rock guitar players. He always managed to infuse everything he played with emotion with a smooth delivery and precision.

“You put me in a deep freeze!” The best line of the song. Funny you mention Whitesnake. Ddavid Coverdale sang in Deep Purple, from where Rainbow came from.

[@BeeLineEast]

Ritchie Blackmore formed this band after departing from Deep Purple in the mid seventys. Some great songs were produced from this band. Man on The Silver Mountain is a great one by Rainbow.

[@Pezzonovante916]

Ritchie Blackmore lead guitar, Joe LynnTurner lead singer, Roger Glover bass, Bobby Rondinelli on the chops.

[@latherslick]

Saw Rainbow 3 times. Twice with Ronnie James Dio and once with Graham Bonnett. So wished I could of saw them with Joe Lynn Turner. But whoever the singer was I was always waiting and listening for Blackmores solos. Always worth the wait.

[@mikecaetano]

Dio! RIP

[@clannad99germany70]

Graham Bonnett started BTW with The Marbles in 1969, only one woman, I liked Stone cold, a favorite song of me.

[@CRITTERBUSTERS]

From what I understand this song was a Top 40 hit back in its day. Definitely a great Melodic Rock song, it’s foreigner esque but a little heavier with some groove to it. Classic song.

[@johnfoster4244]

Love "Stone Cold"

[@tmr626]

Another real good Rainbow song is "Street Of Dreams." Also, back in Aug./Sept '68 Deep Purple released a rockin' hit titled "Hush."

GREAT SONG !!! 👍

[@guidosarducci]

"Street of Dreams" is another by Rainbow that you might like...

[@mikecaetano]

"Stone Cold" was the lead single from Rainbow's 1982 album Straight Between the Eyes. The song ruled hard rock radio that year. A lot of eighties rock sounded like Foreigner. I suppose a lot of bands back then felt they had to keep up with the chart toppers. The ensuing sonic homogeneity on commercial radio stations fueled the burgeoning new wave/punk rock sensibilities of the era in the U.S., especially on college radio stations, which in response, crafted programming that by the nineties became known as "alternative" rock. Those stations introduced American teenagers to British bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, and The Cure, as well as to American bands like R.E.M., The Violent Femmes, The Replacements, and Sonic Youth. The connection to Whitesnake is more direct, as both bands have roots in Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore formed Rainbow in 1975 after leaving Deep Purple over musical differences with the other members of the band. David Coverdale formed Whitesnake in 1978, two years after leaving Deep Purple. "Since You've Been Gone" is another big hit for Rainbow. That song rocks like it's from the seventies.

[@wb6242]

LOL... I knew that song reminded me of another band and you're right, it was Foreigner. Of course, the guitarist for Foreigner didn't have Blackmore chops...

[@johnfoster4244]

Didn't Head East also record "Since You've Been Gone"

[@jimtatro6550]

Check out A Light in the Black by Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio on vocals.

Rainbow is great regardless of who is on vocals. Joe Lynn Turner has such a great voice and still does. I did security for him in 2016, such a cool guy.

I happened to go backstage, to try and meet him before the show. He took one look at me and asked if I would do security that night LOL😂 Afterwards, after emptying the place, I got to hang out with him and Craig Goldy and some others for a bit. Carried Craig's guitar out to his car. Great show, great guy.

Hari, you always react to such AWESOME songs!

[@l-bird]

Yes, I agree!

[@andyd5492]

As soon as the song started I thought Richie Blackmore although the guitar didn't hit until later.

[@monickalynn4365]

Literally only 3 reaction videos for this track-and that is a crime,lol

[@BigC.]

😮it’s Ritchie Blackmore, that’s why it sounded so distinctive.

[@alexbert8988]

Very good artist and very good reaction...thank you very much... react Soda Stereo live: -"Profugos (gira me veras volver)"... amazing!

[@terrence6041]

One way you can describe the guitarist in this band is by looking him up Richie Blackmore is well known in the circles of guitar

[@greybeard2280]

Very excellent request pncombies my brother! Always loved Richie's guitar solos, and he kills it in this track. Rainbow had some great albums over the years! Glad you had fun with this Sultan!

Harribest fantastic review! There were musicians in Rainbow and Deep Purple that were members in Whitesnake. When Stone Cold was recorded there were two ex members of Deep Purple in the band Ritchie Blackmore and Roger Glover.

Joe Lynn Turner, the vocalist here, turned in an amazing sultry, soulful, performance. He wasn't the MAIN vocalist. That honor went to Ronnie James Dio. But this one is a classic! Here's a GREAT Dio Rainbow tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPRp4Jni96Mg80

I thought I knew you so well

[@paulm.5979]

Nice reaction- this song was a moderate hit. I agree with you, great song, love the lead. Rainbow had many front men- Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnett, and this song with Joe Lynn Turner. Richie Blackmore is a legend on the guitar.

[@johncheney950]

The great Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. A fellow Englishman. Also played with Deep Purple.

[@anthonyjd6097]

That guitarist my friend is Richie Blackmore , in my humble opinion one of the best guitarist in the world he has his own style. The band rainbow had three different singers, the best being Ronnie James dio

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Do was cool but you can’t have a hit with Dio.

[@anthonyjd6097]

Long live rock roll, lady star struck , do you close your eyes, deep purple , my woman from Tokyo , smoke on the water, etc…. Blackmore bin doing it forever. Hey but I know what do you mean ( honorable mention all night long)

[@BlitherVids]

Fantastic song! I also strongly recommend Jealous Lover and Since You've Been Gone.

[@revsharkie]

Funny you should say you can hear Foreigner doing this. First time I heard it, back in the dark ages, I thought it WAS Foreigner.

Listen to Deep Purple Perfect Strangers.

[@AliasMark69]

Harri..... Bob Dylan- "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" Seriously, there is nothing quite like it.

[@doplinger1]

Not much of a Rainbow fan, but this is good. Early MTV hit.

[@jimilove7773]

Recommend Gates of Babylon by Rainbow from Long live rock and Roll album [epic], and Catch the rainbow from live album Onstage + lost in Hollywood and loves no friend from Down to Earth album. And on a side note The Wailing Wailers Simmer Down. [1965]. Love this channel!

[@dh2392]

I kept hoping you would say it reminded you of Deep Purple. The guitar definitely had Ritchie Blackmore's tone.

[@paulfuller8985]

That's because it IS Ritchie Blackmore .

@@paulfuller8985 I know that, that's why I said it. I thought he might pick up on the guitar tone, and make the Deep Purple connection.

Never saw Rainbow, but I did see Deep Purple in 85. Perfect Strangers. Dio seems to get all the praise for Rainbow, and he is great, but like a lot of Joe and Graham's songs too.

Is it just me or is this song strikingly similar to something Foreigner would do? Hmmmm ..... anyway, gotta like it!

[@joelliebler5690]

The song was good though a bit repetitive as much of the ‘80’s Rock Sons was much too poppy.
