This is guy is a pure legend. Truly the voice of metal. He’s been in not one, but THREE classic bands - Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and DIO. From the late Seventies to the mid eighties he released 7 classic albums in a row: Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, Rising, Long Live Rock N Roll, Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver, and Last In Line. The guy has created so many epic songs: Gates of Babylon, Stargazer, Light in the Black, Heaven and Hell, Sign of the Southern Cross, Holy Diver, Last in Line. I could keep going! He’s worked with two of the greatest guitarists ever: Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi. He even discovered Vivian Campbell. His live shows, up until this day, have few equals. There are VERY FEW if any that can top his achievements.
He’s about sixty now and his voice is still going strong, which is flat out amazing. He recently released “Master of the Moon” which is a great album. It’s not as good as “Killing the Dragon,” but that’s because he brought back BORING ASS guitarist Craig Goldy. Despite that, even Craig offers some good material especially on the awesome Master of the Moon, The Eyes, and the shredder Shivers.
Who here has listened to him? What are your impressions?
