One of the most underrated bands in rock history, IMO.....

That's like Spinal Tap when Blackmore's articulating the significance of the rainbow...

They supposedly considered a reunion in the mid to late 90's, but then Cozy Powell passed away. It's too bad Blackmore isn't into hard rock anymore.

I can count the number of hard rock albums better than 'Rainbow Rising' on one hand.
'Long Live Rock 'n' Roll' is fucking awesome too - so much POWER matched with control.
They'd certainly be on my dream bands to see live and alongside Thin Lizzy and Cheap Trick I think they're vastly underrated in terms of their influence on music.....The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Good band. To many singers though. Sounds like another band I know.Comment

I asked Ronnie about a reunion w/ Rainbow in 1996, and he told me that "Way too much time has passed, and it's just kinda done at this point. Won't ever happen."
Too bad, I always thought Rainbow had one good album left in them, somewhere. Would have been nice if Ritchie could have seen that, I always thought Ronnie must have suspected it.Twistin' by the pool.Comment

We miss RJD. I'm not too much of a Rainbow fan, but I easily admit that Rising is a great record. Tarot Woman, my friends.. Tarot Woman !! That riff !!! I like the album with Graham Bonnet as well (Down To Earth, if I remember correctly). I didn't listen to the albums with Turner, so I won't say anything.
And yeah, Cozy Powell was one badass drummer.Comment

Could that be due to the fact they were shit? Rainbow was nothing more than Blackmore's failed attempt to go corporate so he could sneer in the face of his former Purple members who kicked his sorry ass out of the band due to heavy cocaine use. Crap songs, crappy riffs. Crap.Comment

Kristy, i can cut you some slack with most of your rants but on this one you are out in left field. You are making yourself look bad here.RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE

Oh please, Blackbore was boring. His whole 80's syth rock commercialism attempt was an embarrassment and he knew it. No wonder he turned his back on the biz dressing up these days as a wannabe member of Jethro Tull.
Pathetic.Comment

I heard this:
It's as awful as the cover. But then again, seeing that many of you are still living in 1982, enjoy your corporate pseudo-metal rock.Comment
