For me, this is one of the best songs ever written. What a masterpiece! 👌
Truly, and about the only long outro I actually appreciate. Whatever "it" is, this song has it in spades.
Yes. It’s an anthem.
@Mathias Totally agree.
It is , this album is special , love it .
Actually if you count, this guitarist, has written around 4,5 or 8-9 of the best songs ever written.
Total respect to Cozy Powell the drummer. Total badass!
yeah and Jimmy, those two were tight.
Rip Long live Cozy!!!
Shout out to the maestro Ritchie Blackmore.
RIP, one of the greatest drummers ever.
Cozy top 3 drummers in the world easly. RIP Cozy and Dio.
Lex nailed it. Dio *was* small but mighty! A heavy metal elf! Some say the greatest heavy metal singer of them all.
One of the top Metal singers ever!!! RIP RJD!!!!
Truth.🤘🤘
There is Ozzy and James Hetfield and Till then, there is DIO.
His was the voice of metal!
Dio, Blackmore and Powell. Nothing else needs to be said.
Ok, soo basically- this song is about this group of people who have been enslaved in the desert by a powerful wizard for generations just so they can build him a Tower that goes to the sky so he can fly across the stars...
"In the heat and rain, with whips and chains, to see him fly, so many died, we built a tower of stone, with our flesh and bones-"
And despite all that, when the tower is done and he jumps from the top, he falls down to the ground instead of soaring, so all they can feel is despair. Despite how much pain he put them through, the last thing they still had was the hope that their sacrifice wouldn't be in vain... And when he died, that hope died too.
Even so, they gotta move on... As dark as it looks, there's a rainbow rising... :)
Sounds like an allusion to the Biblical Tower Of Babel.
I agree with you. I was thinking of the tower of Babel as well.
Maybe a take on the Ancient Astronaut theory. I feel Stargate was somewhat inspired by this song.
Dio was partly inspired by a film starring Jack Palance, The Silver Chalace according to Cozy
And it's a metaphor for goverments using their people to achieve illusionary goals regardless of how much people will suffer
Dio’s voice and Blackmore’s solo sound like they’re wailing, crying. I love it!!!
This song... not only is it musically one of the best heavy metal songs of the 70's, the lyrics have a deep meaning bearing a stark warning. On the face of it, the song is about a wizard who has enchanted and enslaved people to build him a tower to the stars so that he can fly, only to have his attempt fail catastrophically and for them to watch him plummet to his death, breaking the spell. But Dio himself said that this was really just a metaphor, and that it really describes any group of people who fall under the spell of a charismatic demagogue, suffering to help them achieve their doomed vision, only to be lost when it inevitably falls to ruin. "A Light In The Black" is about those people trying to find their way back to what they lost after they followed "the wizard".
Couldn't have said it better
Can never get enough of DIO. The man is second to none.
This song is very 70's sounding but still a great one and one of Dio's best !!
I love dio so much we got robbed of this one of a kind gem of a human
Dio, the greatest metal lead singer. Prove me wrong.
I like Dio in sabbath better than Ozzy
@@ericjuratic8484 heaven and hell (the song) is a absolute masterpiece
Part Ii of this song “A Light In The Black”is almost as good. Gotta listen to both.
Dio HATED this album... well he said side 1 was decent.. side 2 was "pretentious shit for Ritchie and Cozy... oh, I can do a solo for 10 minutes.. " ... Dio denied it, but he was really bitter when it came to Ritchie Blackmore, and it showed.
RAINBOW. One of the most influencial bands of the 20th century. Most 80's metal bands were influenced by Rainbow and Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore is the man.
Rainbow, Deep Purple and BLACK SABBATH.
🤘🎸 Respect.
@@josephbarr1659 I agree but you forgot Led. Zep.
@@leetroy3129 They never had a singer like this.
@@qivarebil2149 Robert Plant did it in many songs.
Listen to Dazed and confused lmfao.
Dio made Rainbow great, not Blackmore.
I've heard that song a thousand, thousand times...One one the best solo periode...
I was the same with Dio when I first heard him. Yeah, he can sing... The more and more I heard, the more I grew to love his vocals. Now... when I think of the ideal heavy metal vocalist, I think of Ronnie James Dio.
Same here. Shamefully, I can remember a time when my dumbass 20something year old self actually thought that Ozzy was better than Dio. How embarrassing to have ever thought that.
Masterpiece right here. One of the greatest songs of all time.
The guitar solo has a mystical Egyptian feel to it. The next song (there are only 2) on that side A Light in the Black is pretty heavy too. Other songs by Rainbow to check out are Gates of Babylon, Man on the Silver Mountain, Stone Cold and Since You Been Gone.
You are correct. The solo is in minor pentatonic, as is most Arabic music
Gates of Babylon also has that Arabian vibe to it. Tarot Woman is another good one
Kill the King
Starstruck is my favorite Dio song, followed by Do You Close Your Eyes, and Light in the Black!
Did she say "I can't believe I didn't like DIO at first"....shame on you. Damn, I love his voice!
I just love Dio ,what a massive yet beautiful voice ,one of the first bands i ever saw live .I miss him
Do Rainbow, “Man on a Silver Mountain”
yeeees
With a "Tower" chaser from Angel.
A classic
A very proper reaction to this all time classic. Brad talking about "being in a trance and spaced out", and watching Lex go to "outer space/middle east?" during Ritchie's solo was the best. She ends with it was "magical and mystical".
Musically, the Middle Eastern "sound" is the Phrygian mode. It's a nice dark sounding mode. Love it!
any melodic minor scale really....
also very much used in flamenco music
Phrygian, Lydian, and Harmonic Minor are some of my favs.
You guys have listened to the most powerful voice ever in rock!!! Dio was the most gifted and most inspirational singer of a generation!!! He was everything that was good about metal!!! His voice transcended the heavens and never, ever will be duplicated!!!! He was truly The Man on the Silver Mountain!!!!
Tom Morello once asked Dio how do you have such a big voice? Dio responded, it's not the size of the pencil. It's how big you write your name.
Cozy Powell was an amazing drummer. He was in the Michael Schenker Group. Michael Schenker on his own is a great musician and he was in a band called UFO
Huge Michael Schenker fan here. His influence on hard rock guitar based music in the late 70's and 80's is profound. He influenced players in iron maiden, Mettalica, Megadeth, Exodus, and Pantera. Even Mike McCready from pearl jam, he has a UFO cover band.
You MUST react to "Rainbow - Mistreated live in Munich 1977".
This is Dio's masterpiece performance, showing the full range and techniques of what he was really able to do.
Expect the unexpected :)
One of the best songs ever! Greetings from Germany 🤘
EPIC isn’t an epic enough word to describe this song
Dio was a legit beast...amazing vocals.
It is a story you would tell children because it is about something horrible. A megalomaniac wizard enslaves or entices people including the narrator to build him a Babel-like tower so he can fly to the stars. Through all their suffering they keep the spirit by imagining how great it will be to actually see the wizard fly at the end- they are a part of something amazing, however brutal the conditions are. In the end, the wizard si ply falls to his death because he does not really have the ability to magically fly to the stars. The narrator then bemoans how pointless the toil was.
The wizard was a vain fool who paid for his arrogance with his life after believing his own BS.
The slaves were weak fools for suffering for the goals of a vain fool and paid for it with their long suffering.
Don't be the wizard and dont be a slave to the wizard.
Sounds like society and rhe elites today. We toil and slave away making a living, while inflation ruins our gains only to make rhe lives of the wizards better then ours.
Never heard the lyrics explained better.
The lyrics are inspired by The Silver Chalice starring Jack Palance
Thank You Ronnie - brings tears to my eyes... RIP Rock God
This is my shot!!!! Ronnie was amazing!!!! The GodFather of Metal!!!!
I always think in the Monsters of Rock in the Sky, this song will play alongside Zep's "Kashmir." But also, "if aliens had a Dubai" is delightful!
RAINBOW Kill The King
It's got so much energy and great guitar playing.
Was lucky enough to see this tour, the rainbow spanned 29 ft across and 14 ft high, everyone forgets what a integral part Roger Glover played in this band, Superb.
Cinematic, epic, mesmerizing…Lex gets it… a bedtime story of regaining free will
This girl gets it…. The guy has no clue
Rainbow Rising is a fantastic album. Ronnie James Dio is a fantastic singer. Ritchie Blackmore is a fantastic guitarist and the one who came up with the number one riff ever, Smoke on the Water. Add Cozy Powell(drums), Jimmy Bain(bass) and Tony Carey(keyboards), all great players in their own right and you have the first super band ever!
they are far from being the "first super band" about 10 yrs or so before Rainbow was a little band called Cream
@@pauldavies1958 I would agree with that.
My favorite song of all time.
Of the many iconic guitar solos Ritchie Blackmore has recorded with both Deep Purple and Rainbow, this has to be one of the top 5. The slide over the Hungarian Minor (Gypsy) Scale sounds almost Satanic. Greatest guitarist of his generation imo.
As others have said, one of the greatest rock songs of all time! Plus one of the greatest vocals ever and one of the greatest guitar solos ever! It's not about being the fastest. There's incredible beauty in that solo.
The drumming, keyboards and bass are all perfect too.
Seriously, few songs have ever topped this one. The whole band were really on their game for this!
Great reactions. Brad seemed to be getting into it. Lex - he's small but mighty .... he certainly was!
It never put me to sleep or thought of it as a lullaby. Always made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Exciting and epic, and when Ronnie sings, "I see a rainbow rising," it always lifts me.
Dio was the most amazing metal vocalist ever! His live shows were absolutely off the chain and if you ever want to get the experience watch any of his live videos from start to finish because he really delivered incredible vocals every time I saw him. Love and miss him. RIP, RJD.
little guy with an absolutely gigantic voice owwwwww !!!!
Lex is frikkin hilarious!!
"If Aliens had a middle east-if they had a DUBAI"....classic description....😎
Lex is wise beyond her years. She nailed the Middle Eastern vibe on guitar. Many bands use it like Iron Maiden and Iced Earth.
Phrygian mode. Evokes that mood.
Dio the greatest metal singer of all time! One of my favorite Rainbow tunes. Such power and emotion in his delivery.
Best vocal performance by a rock singer. Ever. He poured his entire being into that outro. Great reaction.
R. I. P. Ronnie James Dio , you are difinitely missed.
Brad, I think the word you're looking for is "hypnotic". And Lex, I love your take on outer space with a middle east, like if aliens had a Dubai. Priceless!!!
This and "Catch The Rainbow, LIVE."
Lex - that lead guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore - who metal fans often put in the same league as Jimmy Page. He was a great blues / hardrock guitarist. Anyway I hope you do more Rainbow - my favorite song is Man On The Silver Mountain. I hope you react to it sometime. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Brad. Thank you for your reactions.
mine too Jedd
Richie Blackmore is million tiers better than Page in terms of skill. Page could never hit the correct notes live. They were both good writers, but playing skill Blackmore was WAY better
You put it very well. Page could not carry Ritchies guitar case
Lex listens to music the way I do lol. I began listening to Rainbow in my teens, probably around 1979 or so. Ronnie James Dio has always been my favorite singer of all time and his death is the only celebrity's I actually cried over.
Classic Dio but don't forget the master Blackmore & Powell, it's a line up!
Dio in the top 3 of greatest rock /metal vocalist of all time if not no1
Richie Blackmore is one of the best guitarists of all-time.
Whether people like him personally or not, he is a badass guitarist for sure!!!
Definitely up there with the greats. Love his live performances, especially Live in Munich 1977.
Is the best
No way
What you get to hear is the compositional skills of Blackmore in a well crafted song and melodic tune ... and then there is the musicianship of all the band
If you want to hear an epic display of Dio's vocals, of which there are many, check out the Rainbow song LA Connection. One of his best IMO. His voice soars over a sparse but catchy Ritchie Blackmore riff.
What an interesting observation! You have challenged me go back and listen to an almost-forgotten classic. Good call!
@@jeffreymeyer4848 It's a banger along with Lady of the Lake, off the same album.
@@NeonNights80 Got to play "Gates" when you pull out long live rock and roll.
When I was in grammar school the nun ask the class what they want to be when they grow up. I say I wanted to be a stargazer and the witch hit me with a ruler.
Lex hears a great guitar solo that took her off into orbit. Brad, is that good?
Now that you have listened to "Stargazer" which I'm still waiting for Hollywood to make this epic story into a movie, but now you should hear the continuing story of the slave who is now free from Stargazer in another epic tune from the same album, "A Light in the Black".
my second favorite song by them>>> Like life after the Wizard plunged bak to Earth
The end of this song gives me literal chills!
"A Light in the Black" is a continuation of the story, if it hasn't been brought up. Great channel!
Gates of Babylon has a very Arabian sound. React to Gates of Babylon or Rainbow Eyes.
Rainbow Eyes is a beautiful song you should listen to from Rainbow when you get the chance.
Brad: "was that good?"
Did you even listen to that GENIUS solo?😂
This is the band that got me into Metal in the 70`s. Rip Ronnie James Dio and Cozy Powell. Any Rainbow song is good with me.
People tend to focus on the singer. Yet the driving force here was #RitchieBlackmore, the guitarist
Same with black sabbath- all you hear is Ozzyozzyozzy when in fact he was 'just' the singer. The lyricist was Grezer Butler, the bassist. The music was a team effort with Iommi arguably playing the biggest part in it
I think you would have to say the driving force was Blackmore AND Dio. Without Dio's voice on this song it's a great guitar performance. Without black moors guitar it's a great vocal performance. Both of them together, along with Cozy Powell it's absolute magic.
The driving force was Cozy, without Cozy they would of been an amazing band, with Cozy they were one of the greatest ever.
Dio was great singer, but not a good writer. Ritchie's record precedes him, a legend
@@raymo6795 just curious, where did you get your information that Dio "wasn't a good songwriter?"
@@neillenet291 I always thought some of his lyrics were a bit trite on his solo stuff.” Rainbow in the Dark” was a great song, but I find the lyrics kinda “corny”? It was cool when I 15, but as an adult,it’s a little silly. Then there was “Running with the Wolfpack “. Just silly. I think his best music was with Rainbow and Sabbath, when others chose the songs he sang.Don’t get me wrong, I am a Dio fan, but his contemporaries like Ozzy’s and Iron Maiden and even Judas Priest all had clever and profound lyrics. Think of Crazy Train and Over the Mountain or Diary of a Mad Man. Iron Maiden also has great lyrics that tell a tale. I am not really sure who wrote for Dio, if not himself, but he chose them. And they were often weak, fortunately, his voice was one of the greatest. That is just my opinion…Happy Holidays
One of the best moments of growing up was getting into this band. This music was monumental. No other word for it.
" If outer space had a Middle East" you nailed it. 😆
Most intimidating guitarist that ever lived!!!!!
Spacing out on the song is one of the highest compliments you can give
This is definitely my favorite Dio vocal. I always thought that this song was about the building of the pyramids, and the Alien connection with that. Imo
If that is a lullaby try catch the rainbow live! DIO is next level on that.
That guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore, one of the greatest ever.
This is a great tune. Ronnie has some serious vocal range. RIP Ronnie James Dio, you are missed!!!
This is such a good song. I used to listen to this album every day for a long time.
More Rainbow with Dio! Gates of Babylon, Starstruck, Man on the Silver Mountain.
I second those songs.
The late Cozy Powell was such a menace on the drum kit! Hung out with bassist Jimmy Bain for a night about 10 years ago and heard a lot of cool stories 1st hand. Another one gone too soon...
Yes Brad, your getting it. Close your eyes and get lost in the music. When the music creates ( for lack of better words) a mini movie in your head, you've made it, and may help you understand lex and the rest of us who are already there. GREAT CHANNEL GUYS!
The more I listen to Rainbow the more I start to think this was Dio’s best works.
Agree, just pure singing and great musicianship. If you haven't checked out their live concert video, please do. There are about 8 songs form the 1977 Munich concert on UA-cam. Start with "Mistreated and then Catch the Rainbow". If you have see these, then you know what I mean.
I was fortunate to see Ronnie James Dio perform this live when he opened for Iron Maiden back in the early 2000s. RJD, R.I.P.
You have basically been listening to one of the best guitar solos of all time.. 🤘🏻
Was that good ? That was other worldly good Ritchie Blackmore is a legend
Ever hundred years or so the human race experiences joy.
It may be science,it may be theology,it may
art.
This time its rainbow.
Yes RB:s guitar playing is recognisable of its extraterrestrial touch. Wonderful notes coming like from heaven.
Richie Blackmore, friggin awesome!!! 😃
Catch The Rainbow is a must listen song
Apart from stargazer, probably my favorite rainbow song and they have many.
Temple of the king was the first rainbow song i first heard in 1979 I am did heart fan of Ronnie and Ritchie both are out standing and Lyricists
It almost has an epic gospel feel to it.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for reacting!
one of the most epic songs ever recorded
I love when find people discovering my favorite music and loving it...
06:23 LMAO...That was really good.!! :))
Put you to sleep? Like a lullaby? hahahahahaha. Too funny. Considered by many to be the best heavy metal song ever made, and I agree 100%
When Dio sang...it was like "story time" for us Metal Heads
2:02 He´s small but he is mighty. Absolutely!!!
This song has a second part "a light in the black" in the album stargazer faded To a light in the black. Its about how the staves make their way home. Rainbow was amazing with dio, the joe lynn turn era was ok too but dio is king. Just an amazing singer and writer.
The girl is right , the whole song is written in the Phrygian key which is derived from old Arabian scales
Dio should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame… period!
He's small, but he's mighty. No truer words were spoken. lol
6:25 Of Lex, they made only one. Precious doesn't even begin to describe her.
Brad..."yeah, he's got a good voice", understatement of the century😋
