THAT CHORUS!| FIRST TIME HEARING Rainbow - Stone Cold REACTION

[@RazorFriendly]

Joe Lynn Turner's articulation is really phenomenal. Every word is clear and powerful. Very underrated vocalist.

[@flowers3036]

Yes I noticed that too! So clear and perfect!

[@SoOutrageous]

No bad tunes with Rainbow. Evolved with their different frontmen. Ritchie is a legend. “Man on the Silver Mountain” with Dio is a rocker.

[@chiefsohcahtoa3285]

Agree

[@skiptowne5724]

L.A. Connection.

[@chrisbradshaw7708]

I'll second "Man On The Silver Mountain". That song was actually my introduction to Rainbow and its a required listen!

[@rwschumm]

Don't think I've heard it since it was in Top 40!

[@ericskivers6643]

Power kicks ass

[@kbusby4824]

Dio was difficult to replace. Joe Lynn Turner did an admirable job with Rainbow. This song was in heavy rotation on MTV.

[@bmiamiwai]

Interesting thing is Joe was completely bald. He has no hair on his head and body.

[@BryanWicks]

Facts. I used to play this song into the ground back in the day. Easily my favorite from this band.

[@tomlaw17]

'Can't Happen Here' was a staple around the same time, too.

[@bookhouseboy280]

He didn't fill Dio's shoes; he brought his own.

[@waynehackney5812]

You do not replace Ronnie James Dio.

[@Lemons66]

Joe Lynn Turner is an excellent vocalist. My favorite Rainbow songs are Street of Dreams and Power.

[@louisb5563]

POWER!!!! 👌🏼

[@kbusby4824]

Street of Dreams is a must.

[@jasondierbeck4392]

I vote for Street of Dreams a must also

[@markc5771]

Favorite album was Difficult to Cure. I don't know why that one got panned. It had a solid set list.

[@mizzwinter28]

Oh yeah, Street of Dreams - so good!!! Stone Cold is my fave, tho. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@chriswiedeman2956]

Every iteration of this band is so unique. They are all great in their own way, too. Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner are all amazing.

[@jalkabre5904]

And Doogie White

[@thunderspike1892]

And Ronnie Romero

[@dimitristasikas1973]

All of you gentlemen in this thread must be proud of your taste in music 🎶

[@MSB042170]

So true

[@robertburke784]

And the one common thread between all these singers is Ritchie Blackmore. Not just a great guitarist, but a great eye for talent also! He also helped discover Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, and Glenn Hughes! The man is a genius.

[@chriss.8582]

Joe Lynn Turner is one of the more underrated male rock vocalists of the latter 20th century. His work on Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force "Odyssey" record remains some of my favorite vocals of all time.

[@bigguy130]

Turner was awesome on the song Heaven Tonight.

[@stevenapolitano1056]

Joe Lynn Turner had one of the best voices in rock. Soulful.

[@scottyyz]

Nothing better than when Joe turns to the camera..."Ice Cold" Love this song

[@lanceluckow7207]

JLT is one of my all time favorite vocalists. Street of Dreams is another good rainbow hit with him.

[@thebronzetoo]

For sure!! This and SOD are my favs!!

[@louisb5563]

HAD to "Thumbs It" before listening first!!! Blackmore nails it on that guitar break! This vocal reminds me a little of Lou Gramm.

[@dcvlogs82d69]

Little factoid, Mick Jones of Foreigner actually had JLT audition to replace Lou Gramm on the Inside Information Album. Cooling heads prevailed and Lou did do the vocals for that album.

[@louisb5563]

@@dcvlogs82d69 Woah, no way!!!! That is cool, didn't know it but it makes sense!👍🏻

[@MikeHorror67]

Favorite Rainbow songs are "Stone Cold" and "Street Of Dreams". This was my era of Rainbow as a teen in the 80's.

[@stevedem76]

Criminally underrated song by Rainbow, "Jealous Lover".

[@jalkabre5904]

Great song, also "Tearn' Out My Heart" is underrated as well.

[@dawnsteele8354]

Agreed!

[@markwilhelm168]

Absolutely one of my favorite Rainbow songs!

[@markgrace7181]

For sure!!!

[@jgsrhythm100]

Joe Lynn Turner Rainbow " Can't Happen Here" Absolute banger 🔥

[@dlbeal]

Ritchie Blackmore is one of the best and has such an unmistakable sound. Thank you!!

[@surlechapeau]

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

[@michaelburggraf2822]

Thanks! Just wanted to suggest that. "I Surrender" is from their album "Difficult to Cure" which I like very much.

[@maestrojon]

I love every era of Rainbow. One of my favorite bands. Of course, this was Ritchie Blackmore's band (original guitarist from Deep Purple). He called all the shots. Heavier Rainbow songs from the Dio era: Stargazer, Kill the King, Tarot Woman, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves. There are more, of course. Dio left because Ritchie wanted to move to a more radio friendly style. Ritchie succeeded, and so did Dio by being the replacement for Ozzy in Sabbath. Other good songs with Graham Bonnet: All Night Long, Lost in Hollywood. More great songs with Joe: 'Death Alley Driver' is faster and heavier. Other good ones are: I Surrender, Miss Mistreated, Can't Let You Go, Jealous Lover, Desperate Heart, Street of Dreams.

[@headlibrarian1996]

And then Sabbath fired Dio two years later :(. They managed to push out Ray Gillen after only a few months too, and re-recorded his tracks. Given what I've heard on the Badlands albums he would have been far superior to Tony Martin, though I suppose he would have been forced to leave the band anyway due to the health issues that eventually killed him. So dysfunctional on the part of Sabbath.

[@lelin70]

Ill take any of those suggestions🙏

[@jalkabre5904]

Don't forget about Doogie White's era with Rainbow. The song "Ariel" is one of their best. In my opinion in the top 15 Rainbow songs.

[@Proud.American58]

Best Rainbow song with Joe Lynn Turner on lead vocals is “Can’t Happen Here” #rainbow

[@danielsyvarth7469]

and that crazy, killer solo by Ritchie!

[@grahamjeffries4566]

Jealous lover

[@garyarnett1220]

Love all Rainbow. JLT was also a very good vocalist. Try their "Street of Dreams" also with JLT. Guitarist Blackmore has called it one of the favorite songs he'd written.

[@bookhouseboy280]

Street of Dreams is a winner.

[@SqkTap]

I thot JLT wrote street

[@butterflymama0838]

I was 13 when this song came out. I haven't heard it since the 80's! I remembered every word to this. Great band and a great song!

[@jamesmorrison7692]

This song is my favorite Rainbow song, I am glad you all appreciate Joe Lynn Turner, he’s a great singer

[@dawnpatrol700]

This band changed HUGE with each different singer

[@kinesjl]

Ritchie's phrasing and tone are exceptional here.

[@lancerx1759]

Definitely Agree !!

[@FredPena-rd5cf]

Blackmore liked to change gears with the sound and styles he wanted to play.

[@888brancher]

I’ve not heard this song but I have heard of the group. Good song & a good band sound. ‘Since you’ve. been gone’ is my Fav. ty for the post & your reaction\incite.

[@Alberto_1965_BR]

Rainbow is so good! The Master Blackmore

[@skiptowne5724]

Blackmore rules.

[@valerievanasse8337]

Rainbow is an amazing band … I love Gates of Babylon…… if you like Joe Lynn Turner’s voice, you need to listen to Yngwie Malsteen’s Heaven Tonight from 1988, Joe Lynn Turner is the lead singer and does an incredible job on lead vocals

[@JesseMBustamante]

I thought I knew so well!! *Can't break away from your spell

[@Eurynomea]

Joe Lynn Turner still performs and surprisingly, he still sounds really good. Rainbow influenced me when I was just starting out as a bass player (The Roger Glover years). Out of all the singers Blackmore went through, Graham Bonnet was my favorite...he was a real character.

[@paulrogers4483]

Hell yeah Bonnet was the best, check out my comment

[@jasondierbeck4392]

Roger Glover kicks ass

[@suzieredfoxfur6982]

Bonnett is da man!! I do love them all though

[@byerenny]

​​ Bonnett trying to score a groupie and dressed like a used car salesman. That music video got rotation in its day.

[@Eurynomea]

@@byerenny OMG, I can't get that outta my head now, LOL!

[@froggy5935]

Joe Lynn Turner has a great voice! This version of Rainbow fit in alongside Journey, Styx, Survivor, REO and Foreigner in the early 1980s.

[@LOKISlog7]

Man on the Silver Mountain, Street of Dreams, Jealous Lover, No Realease are a must listen to 👍

[@tomlaw17]

'Jealous Lover' is a good one.

[@screwyootube1]

I'd just add Long Live Rock & Roll & Lost in Hollywood!

[@screwyootube1]

Man on the Silver Mountain, Long Live Rock & Roll, Lost in Hollywood are great hard rockin' songs from Rainbow!

[@geraldinemallon1043]

I love Rainbow!!! My favourite songs are I Surrender and It Can’t Happen Here.

[@John-kj3vp]

One of my favorite guitar solos.

[@NeenMove]

OMG - I have completely forgotten about this song. Thank you for reviewing it. It’s a great tune I don’t know much about this group, but I do remember when it come on the radio I was just jammin to it.

[@riksplace]

Had backstage pass with stage access for Rainbow concert in the later 70's...stood just off stage behind the curtain about 10 ft from Richie Blackmore (guitar player) during the concert....was pretty cool.....

[@patrickbateman7369]

Still a great song after all these years!

[@jamesgonzales5285]

Oh my God!!! My favorite Band of all time!!! Thank you ❤!!!

[@guillermojimenezcastelblan8456]

A nice power ballad with all pyrotecnics coming from Ritchie`s guitar and of course, the blasting snare/ hi hat/ bass drum patterns with Bobby Rondinelli. Sounds like Deep Purple in some cases, speaking about the guitar riffs and solo work. Another Purple musician here, the one and only Mr Roger Glover. There`s nothing left to say, guys.

[@prestigepressurewash3758]

The guitar players name is Ritchie Blackmore. He was also the guitar player in band Deep Purple. 🎸

[@chicanorock-rapfusion6411]

I have anyways loved that jam, especially the solo…

[@WonderMommaOG]

Finally! Someone does one of their best jams! Thank you.

[@bbox5938]

Thank you Rob Squad, I love this song and line up. I agree props to the drummer "Bobby Rondinelli" "Street of Dreams" is another banger from this line up that I always loved.

[@LaserRanger15]

I literally just added this song to my to my Spotify play list, 2 days ago. JLT has that alpecia condition, and wears that serious wig. Great singer.

[@cashus68]

This one is so underrated, an M,TV Staple !! God i love this song .😚

"I Surrender" & "All Night Long" are great songs by Rainbow. ❤🎼🎙

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

[@batmanforpresident9655]

One ofy favorites from the 80's. Also, "Since You've Been Gone" is a great one by them.

[@lorijohnston4311]

One of my favorite songs from the 80s -- and one of the most underrated! Thanks for reacting to it.

[@lorigrif262]

One of Rainbow's finest songs

[@rray848]

"Man on the Silver Mountain" is one of their hardest hits with Dio singing the lead vocals. it was their first hit when Ritchie formed the group after leaving Deep Purple.

[@MSB042170]

I love these two. I get chills watching them enjoy the different flavors of music. Such good people, smart and objective music fans.

[@williamprosper2209]

No matter the lead singer changes, my favorite Rainbow song is "Since You Been Gone", [1979], Graham Bonnet as the lead. It's a cover of the song by another great band...Argent [1971].

[@Steven91637]

Great Song Great Voice catchy Lyrics but this Guitar 🎸 Solo out of this World and Rondinelli on the Drums amazing

[@guystjohngrabham9771]

since you've been gone is a great song by Rainbow

[@eduardodiaz8088]

Rainbow tried to adjust to the sound of the 80s hard rock stars in that decade, which I honestly think they did succesfully, and for that purpose a couple of new singers with that style were hired. Besides, there was this guy, Russell Ballard who composed quite an array of hits of which Rainbow got great benefit with tunes like: ’Since You’ve Been Gone' and 'I Surrender'. Great songs! ... BTW, Kiss's Ace Frehley also had his Ballard moment with "New York Groove", also worth checking out

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

YESSSS on "New York Groove!"

[@jalkabre5904]

Rainbow remains one of my favorite bands of all time. Each era of Rainbow have great songs, many forget about the Doogie White era in the mid '90s. The song "Ariel" is great song from his vocal era with Rainbow. My favorite era will remain with Ronnie James Dio on vocals with songs like "Stargazer" (in my opinion their very best song), "Catch the Rainbow" and "Temple of the King" being other epic songs. Plus the Live 1977 Munich concert song "Mistreated" has one of the best vocal performances of all time.

[@markdraine3571]

How could anybody forget Doogie White ? That's ridiculous. I mean, it's almost as bad as forgetting Doogie Howser, M.D. Two of the absolute greats ! Lol. Just kidding around. ..Seriously, I'm glad you mentioned him. I honestly never heard of him so I will look up and give it a listen

[@jalkabre5904]

Great live performance ( Philipshalle, Düsseldorf 1995) of "Temple of the King", "Ariel" and "Hall of the Mountain King". All worth a listen.

[@brt5273]

This was my favorite song/video when it was airing on MTV❤ Joe Lynn Turner Was also awesome with Yngwie Malmsteen.

[@FierceToddler]

Love Rainbow... Love this song... & Ritchie Blackmore!

OH. MY. GOSH.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG !!❤❤❤❤ Thank you sooo much for AMAZING memories ❤️ 💖

[@DAMHoo]

Joe Lynn Turner had such a great voice

[@robertpiotrkowski6747]

Graham Bonnet also did a stint as lead singer of Rainbow 1979-1980, try Rainbow-All Night Long (1980) great voice. He also had a couple of hits in the 60s in a duo called The Marbles, both songs were written for them by none other than The Bee Gees, the songs were, Only One Woman and The Walls Fell Down. Graham Bonnet was just starting out his long singing career then with and amazing voice. Worth a listen to as well.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Graham woth Michael Schenker numero uno " Broken Promises"

[@johnmcdonald5371]

Love these vids that harken back to the early days of Mtv and the lyric, "Familiar strangers, with nothing to say." Great job as always RSR! Man on the Silver Mountain next please.

[@markv1113]

I found it funny that you mentioned "Cold as Ice". I know this song, but as it started playing I was trying to think of what other band this was reminding me of musically and you hit the nail on the head. Foreigner. 😄

[@trjbrew]

Try "Man on Silver Mountain" with Dio on the vocals, definitely a harder sound.

[@chiefsohcahtoa3285]

Their best in my opinion.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

That guitar says everything I need to hear, not that he’s voice is not fantastic but the guitar does it for me, in this song✨

[@matthewsabetta2696]

The drumming is superb as well, the last 30 seconds where Bobby Rondinelli comes in with that double bass or whatever is the stuff rock and roll dreams are made of.

[@joshgold9944]

did they use the set for A Flock of Seagulls "I Ran", or vice versa? both songs released in March 1982, both British, albeit very different bands.

[@CubsFan2023]

The really hard-rocking numbers that I can think of off the top of my head are "Man on the Silver Mountain", "Starstruck", "Kill the King", "Run With the Wolf", "A Light in the Black", and "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll".

[@darylmckay]

It's worth exploring some of Graham Bonnet's work, who also sung for Rainbow. I love Warm Ride and It's All Over Now Baby Blue, from his solo career. A truly awesome voice.

[@kevincorbi6940]

" Gates of Babylon scared me." That is priceless! 😂 You guys are so awesome

[@flowers3036]

Incredible singer and beautiful song! Huge hit!

[@emeraldtiger7135]

Finally some Rainbow with JLT! He's a great vocalist who did an excellent cover of a foreigner song you guys have not done yet...with Rainbow he's done some harder hitting rock songs such as "Power" and "Jealous Lover".

[@jasonblake1759]

Joe Lynn Turner is one of the great guys in Rock & Roll. Saw him interviewed recently on the Real Music Observer on YT. very down to earth guy who’s very aware about the state of affairs of the world. His most recent album demonstrates this very powerfully.

[@tailgunner6948]

You're so right!

[@edphs75]

Street Of Dreams is a definite song to check out by Rainbow!

[@williamfinney6660]

A timeless classic that's on every classic rock radio stations hit list

[@martyjones2679]

Saw them in concert for this tour. Great line up. They sounded great LIVE. MTV used to show a LIVE concert of this tour years ago too. Ritchie Blackmore - guitar & Roger Glover - bass, are both from Deep Purple.

[@RedDawnRocker]

A truly underated harder tune with Joe Lynn Turner would be Death Alley Driver. It touches back upon Blackmore and Glover's Deep Purple days in a similar style to Highway Star. Another fun tune is their live-version of Spotlight Kid with JLT from their Finyl Vinyl album. Oh and as for lead singers, Rainbow is still going on and is on their 5th lead vocalist. Doogie White was the 4th and Ronnie Romero is the 5th and current. There's not a bad lead vocalist in the bunch.

[@weesherilee1]

This song is one of my all time favorites

[@bluedogok]

Around thetime this came out Rainbow was my favorite band. I sawthem on the Live Between The Eyes Tour the summer of 82 at the Lloyd Noble Center.

[@Jessica_Roth]

I have read that Ritchie Blackmore wanted Rainbow to have hit singles, which is why he hired Joe Lynn Turner. It didn‘t work so well. This hit #1 on the Rock chart, but only #40 overall. When the next lead single ("Street of Dreams") couldn‘t even do that, despite a lot of MTV airplay, Ritchie was open to getting Deep Purple back together. He still liked JLT, however. As I mentioned on the "Burn" reaction, when Ritchie fired Ian Gillan from DP (again), he hired Joe Lynn to replace Ian. (My flow is showing me that Glenn Hughes sang "Burn" literally tonight in Bratislavia. Slovakian fans work fast, it appears. Have to check that one next.) Plenty of Dio-era Rainbow to hit- "Man on the Silver mountain", "Stargazer", "Kill the King", "Long Live Rock N Roll" (I sort of recall a few of these. If you did the reaction and its blocked, that is different, obviosly)

[@bookhouseboy280]

Rainbow was Album-oriented rock, getting a lot of airplay in the US on AOR radio stations. "Street of Dreams" hit #3 on the Rock Albums & Top Tracks chart. Other US AOR hits were "Jealous Lover" and "I Surrender", the latter reaching #3 in the UK. "All Night Long" and "Since You Been Gone" were big hits in the UK Top 10.
