He had a doom section on his metal family tree thing.
I think it had Trouble, Saint Vitus, Cathedral, and I can't recall who else. I admit though, he didn't present it too much. I have only seen the edited version on VH1 Classic.

 

[Vegetaman]

And the way half of it isn't true!

Of course. Iommi & Geezer have the market cornered on "we never said that" or "we never did that".

Speaking of things they never did, isn't Tony Martin still a band member (at least, "technically")?

 

[Vegetaman]

Yes

Headless Cross World Tour 2009!

It's not like Neil Murray and Bobby Rondinelli are doing anything.

True.

But it's not like they did anything then, either.

Seriously though, I'd take it over an Ozzy reunion anyday.

I'd also enjoy an Iommi/Hughes solo tour, too.

 

[Vegetaman]

Right, like not crash cars.

That's a power that only Ian Gillan has.

(unless that was a jab at Cozy Powell, and if so... Shame on you! )

The music video for Trashed is hilarious, too.

I would love to see a BORN AGAIN tour, though it will never happen.
Hell, Deep Purple can't seem to pull off a US tour on their own.

From people that saw it, they tell me you didn't miss much. I have the Born In Hell bootleg from that era... It's okay, but nothing outstanding. Sounds like Ian was a bit... Shall we say, Trashed?

They could probably pull it off with the help of Ritchie "YOU'RE FIRED" Blackmore.

Steve Morse > Richie

You are really making me scratch my head today!

 

[Vegetaman]

Steve Morse > Richie

No. Ritchie Blackmore is the man. The early Rainbow albums prove this. Even in Deep Purple and Blackmore's Night he proves he is "the shit".

Agreed on all points.

Any power metal fan who doesn't think their favorite bands were strongly influenced by the RITCHIE BLACKMOORE'S RAINBOW album know VERY little about metal.

Speaking of which, that is the only Dio era Rainbow album I cannot ever seem to find on vinyl.

 

[Vegetaman]

I'm not talking in terms of skill or creativity or influence or whatever. I mean the whole package. I'd rather work with Steve Morse than Richie.

Oh. But of course.

But only because you can't work WITH Ritchie Blackmore. Only FOR.

I used to have it on vinyl, as well as Long Live Rock N Roll.

Damn, this thread is going to make me have to go out and rebuy those on disc!

 

[Vegetaman]

I have them on CD; and they're a good listen. Classics like Man on the Silver Mountain, Stargazer, Starstruck, Kill The King, The Gates of Babylon... Don't forget the Rainbow - Rising album!

 

[Saladbar]

A song that really stood out for me from the first Rainbow album was "Temple of the King". Unfortunately I have no idea if there's any video footage of Dio singing this song. However in the last re-incarnation of Rainbow in '96 they played this tune with Doogie White singing. I have a bootleg from Germany from that tour and they kick this song in the ass!
I wanna see Rainbow Live god dammit!

 

[Jasonic]

When it came out, I actually (secretly) loved the BENT OUT OF SHAPE album. Street of Dreams is a great ballad. Sort of a guilty pleasure.

I don't feel guilty about my pleasures. Bent out of shape is an album that I listened to a lot (even though the drums sound like a drum machine throughout the record) and you just made me play it on my computer.

 

[Vegetaman]

There's some song on my Best of Rainbow collection from a later era that I really liked... But most of it, made me go

Name?

 

[Saladbar]

The Best of Richie Blackmore - Fuck Everybody Else

LMAO!
No I meant the song.

I like that album,too!

How about some love for Down to Earth. ALL NIGHT LONG, bay-bee!!
