The name of the band is Rainbow and Rising is the name of album. Stargazer is the name of the song. This song is probably one of the most perfectly composed song ever written by five of the most talented musicians in rock history.

[@heartfanjim01]

It's funny listening to Dio's early material from the late 50's to mid 60's. It hard to believe that he went from one extreme to the other.

[@revjim123]

The song is about the stargazer, a wizard who enslaved a bunch of people to build a giant tower for him, so he could fly to the stars he’s been gazing at. The tower is finally done after 9 years, he throws himself off of this giant tower only to fall to his death. The slaves are now free.

[@shweetpotato]

VERY similar to the story of King Nimrod in the Bible, Genesis .. claimed himself as a God

[@shweetpotato]

Rainbow (band name) Rising (album title) Stargazer ( song)

[@shweetpotato]

we need more DIO ..just sayin

[@Lonestar1430]

And the song is an allegory of people blindly following a false messiah, idol, politician, etc instead of thinking by themselves, just to discover they have been following a faker (the wizard falling instead of rising, as he promised) that is only interested in his personal benefit (only HE would rise to HIS star, not the enslaved followers that build him the tower).

[@tktspeed1433]

and a light in the black comes after stargazer because if you listen to the lyrics it is definitely a continuation to the story

Welcome to Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow. Ritchie Blackmore is the black sheep of the guitar heroes, he’s on of the best of all time but no one talks about him, he formed rainbow after leaving deep purple. Ronnie dio is one of the best singers ever, cozy Powell one of the best drummers, Roger glover (former deep purple member) one of the best bassists ever. Look for man on the silver mountain, rainbow eyes, catch the rainbow, L A connection, self portrait, green sleeves, the temple of the king, etc. Ritchie Blackmore formed this band out of a band called Elf, where Ronnie Dio(who later would become Black Sabbath’s vocalist) was the vocalist.

[@eddieolsson5449]

Roger Glover, while being a great bass player, didn't play on this album. Jimmy Bain was the bass player for this album and the following world tour. Seeing Rainbow on stage was fantastic!

The band was named Rainbow after a bar in Hollywood where the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and singer Ronnie Dio liked to drink. The band started as just a solo project by Blackmore, but he soon decided to quit Deep Purple and make Rainbow his main project. It lasted from 1975 to early 1984, when Deep Purple got back together.

Rainbow is what you would now call a Super Group. When two bands merge into one or two god like musicians come together to make pure magic. That's what happened here. Ronnie James Dio on vocals and Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple coming together to create a (then) whole new genre of music: Power/Fantasy Metal! This started it and was followed by bands like Iron Maiden, Helloween, Manowar, Rhapsody and Dragonforce among a looooong list of others.

[@riczen6652]

I wouldn't call Rainbow a super group. A super group usually refers to all the band members being in famous bands previously. This wasn't technically the case here. When he left Deep Purple, Blackmore basically hired the entire line-up of Elf to form Rainbow, but Elf was an obscure band that nobody knew. Blackmore was only really interested in Dio though, and by the time of the second album (this one, "Rising"), everyone else had been dumped.

BTW, this is a song about a wizard that basically, through charismatic demeanor, enslaves his believers to build a tower for him to fly off and presumably to his planet/star and that he will take them with him. Many "believers" die for the building of this tower. However, once the tower is built , he falls. And the person telling the story dies as well and goes "home".
