I’m 73, and the 60s-80s were the absolute best times for music. None of the garbage today compares to what we had. All I need now is a time machine to go back and stay there. They can have this future crap
Me too... please take me back with you.. I so desperately want to go back.. hopefully we could go back beautiful and with money this time..lol not broke again 🤦🏻with the power of imagination and a couple of old VHS tapes, we can transport back...lol..🙋🏻
@@leeinwis When I was little, our religious kindergarten teacher told us it was because God needed them back up in heaven. When I got older, I was told that people have to die to make room for the new ones...best people to ask are folks who have had a near-death experience (NDE)...but, even there, the answers vary wildly. My mom was ready to go...her body was finished, even though 'she' wasn't. At least, she doesn't have to battle her own mortality, any more.
I was 17 when this came out, and IT was played on MTV all the time. I used to have the same hair style, and leather jacket. I'm telling you, growing up from the 60s to the 80s was great in countless ways. A true blast.
Hell yeah you're lucky.. I wish I could have grown up in the 60s . I believe I should be older than I am but I wish we could go back to the way things were. I'm disgusted with mostly everything that goes on these days such as trans men going into the woman's bathroom 🤢 and all things associated with that. Music is beyond terrible amongst way to many other things 🤦🏼♀️.. things need to change.. but we all the answer to that 💩
Yes, this reminds me of when i was in High School with my 77 Pontiac Trans Am and cranking the pioneer speakers with this Song !!!! Im 56 and life was soo much easier with out all these tech gadgets .. When Dating was approaching a Girl in School you liked and asking for Date to the Movies ... Miss those days !!!
I'm 17 and i was raised on this music from my parents, seems like everyone is in a rush to tell everyone it was better back in the day. I bet when my generation is way older we'll be saying that to our kids too.
If you are part of the MTV 80s generation this is one of those songs that take you right back to that sliver of time in our lives that no other generation will Ever understand..
They weren’t underrated. They were successful in their time. They just never stayed mainstream. You can’t win because people hate on the bands like ac/dc or motley Crüe or guns n roses because they are still played so much.
Ritchie Blackmore might be a complicated person but God knows how I love that strange emotion between euphoria and nostalgia when I hear him play that guitar. 🎸
Of the plethora of famous guitar solos, this one from Ritchie is one of my favorites because of the beautiful fit to the song's lyrics and the clean guitar work done with absolute care and precision. Alex Lifeson on "Limelight" and Eddie Van Halen on "Hear about it Later" have similar beautiful solos in comparison.
I'M 70 years old but until l look in the mirror, l feel like l'm still 19! There is no time or place l would have rather been born. There was a music renazonce, that was the best we will ever see.
About four hours ago I was walking with my daughter to the bus stop and heard someone at a stop light listening to this song I put my thumb up and he put his thumbs up back and ever since then I been listening to this song over and over since then
*This Is The Age Where Music Took Talent all The Way To The Top With No Synthesizers To Mask Voices Just Raw Playing Skills.... Who's Listening To This Gem In 2019 - 2020?*
Truly timeless, I'm 62 and for me it will always be the older rock, if you have the time you need to give Rare Earth a listen a group from the late 60's , played at Woodstock
I love Rare Earth. Their live album, looks like a backpack bag , is great. Has a 23 minute version of " Get Ready" plus all their hits. Pete Rivera, the drummer was the lead singer. I' m 72.
You are absolutely right. This is the kind of stuff I still listen to and I always will! I graduated in '84 also and I swear sometimes it seems like yesterday, even though it's been almost 37 years! Man, where did the time go? But, at least we still have this kind of great music to turn to! Keep rocking on everybody!
My idea of heaven is going back to the music, times, and memories of the 70's and 80's, with only the good and none of the bad. I kind of do that in my mind and imagination when I come here and play these great song and reminisce. But it'll be a thousand times better in my vision of Heaven, no memory glitches, and no one missing. I'm 57, and I feel like I'm just killing time now waiting for my time to go, and I'm so looking forward to it. But my time spent here, enjoying these great hits and reading everyone's comments, it makes me feel like I'm really home for a while, and a part of something truly special with all of you, that I really belong. And that's a damn good feeling, I can tell you. Thanks for that everyone. 🙂👍

I love the way Ritchie transitions, and melds notes together in each single phrase. His melodies are so beautiful, yet vulgar, at the same time. He plays with pure magic, love, and anger. All emotions in ever solo. That's why he is my favorite of all time. The G.O.A.T!
I listen to the music from that period of musical renaissance and realize that there will never again be the same explosion of musical talent which we were privileged to be a part of during that magical era. We had such an overabundance of super talented musicians, songwriters and singers that many groups like Rainbow, Triumph, Aldo Nova and others didn't get the recognition they would have recieved at another period of time. The music of the 60's thru the early 90's was magical. The lyrics expressed emotions that were spoken in every day life: Viet Nam, peace, love, life, personal beliefs about politics to love. I miss the music of that era but fortunately music never dies!!
Why was that era so potent in music? Easy, no computers or video games (or very primitive ones), a hot postwar economy and the Cold War to drive the people's hedonism.
Nice to see someone mentioning Aldo Nova, I was still behind the Iron Curtain in Europe..and adored the music of Aldo Nova, still listen to his albums now and then.
This song is one of the earliest form of power ballads ! When rock got carried away, they realized that a beautiful song was crafted not beaten to a pulp!
Power ballads are depressing IMO. This is not. I would call this rock just with limited phrasing and low energy (low impact). But big on the melody. Good stuff.
After the collapse of Fandango, in 1980, Turner received a call from former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who played in his band Rainbow, in which he was the leader. At the audition, Blackmore was so impressed that he immediately included Joe in the Rainbow lineup. Before Turner joined Rainbow, the group was popular in Europe and Japan, but did not achieve the same popularity in the United States. Thanks to Turner's contributions to the band's music, Rainbow finally achieved popularity in the United States. In the early and mid 80s. Several songs from Rainbow albums featuring Turner reached the Top 20 on various radio charts. "Stone Cold" became the group's first Top 40 hit; Rainbow videos were played on MTV
I saw them in Dallas Texas back in 1985.... Bad ass times, crusing with my best girl in my 1979 trans am blasting Rainbow on my Kenwood tape deck.... Good times, good times.
Hareish Sawng me too ! I was 17 in 1982 when this song came out and a DJ at my college I during the summer ! Actually for 2 years ! Great music and the best of times ! Loved the 70 ‘s as well ! 🌈😊👍love Rainbow
All praise to the true and living God, I'm 66 years old and a Vietnam Veteran, grew up in a little town of Rockport Texas and man remember all the bands in the late sixties and to mid seventies, that was music growing up rodeoing and even surfing 🏄♂️ and getting stoned. Man what a Time to be alive.
@@guitarttimman ~ I fully agree, and I'll add the 60s to that sentiment as well. There was still a lot of good songs in the 80s, but as the decade pressed on, the quality gradually dispersed and dissipated, took a downward turn... and then you know what happened... the horrid 90s arrived, rock went belly up, and died a sad and pitiful death at the hands of complete, and final corporate control.
Well, being fair, I do like the Seattle Sound. I think the bad thing is that people started believing music had to be overly technical before it's good. I love Alice "n Chains, STP, and bands like that. I liked the grunge sound a lot because it brought back the hippie flavor. Yes, it's true that the 70's produced the best musicians, but some of that 90's stuff really kicked ass. I even like Nirvana because I realize what they were doing. They kept it simple but ingeniously hippie and grungy. I like that. What I didn't like about the 80's is that every rock band thought they had to be overly technical to be good, but that ruined a lot of their music. Sure, I love Dio, Ozzy, and all that too, but none of the 80's music can even compare to what was done in the late 60's and all through the 70's. That was some amazing composing, and there has never been anything as great to this day. I remember how some people used to look at me funny when I told them I liked Ozzy a lot better in Black Sabbath than I did in his solo career (albeit I liked that too). It is because Black Sabbath's composing was so masterful and cool. Yes, in one way Randy Rhoads was better than Tony Iommi, but in another way Tony blew him out of the water. Tony, by far, was a way better composer, and he had a sound that is unmatched to this day. I like 'em both, but I favor Tony's style more!
slimshine918 Didn’t corporations always control the music industry? What changed in the 90’s? I agree music started dying in the 90’s and by the 2000’s you’d be lucky to name a handful of good bands, but I’d still like to know how corporate control did music in
I bought this vinyl when i was 12, at my local hastings store. Purchased it based ONLY on the sleeve art, which was a guitar headstock bustin out of a dudes face w radical green eyes. Stone cold remains one of the coolest songs ever.!
Im 56 and miss my younger days that were easier and no care in the World ,,, Driving my 77 Trans am and feeling the power of the engine while cranking this Song on the pioneer radio .... Life is passing too quickly we have to enjoy every moment while we can !!! God Bless
Unfortunately it’s not true. JLT wasn’t Richies taste. He didn’t like the direction Rainbow was going in at this time. I grew up across the street from Bobby (drums) and we all heard about it later on.
I still listen to them. I love Joe Lynn Turner. I met him in Springfield VA Jazz. He spoke to him @ Jazz. I introduced him to my friends. I really loved there music. Great music!!
Had this album back in highschool. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
You're so right about that... I can't think of a single band, in the last decade that even comes CLOSE to the superior Rock of the late 70's, and all of the 80's... its so disappointing. So glad to have my albums, and of course, UA-cam!! LOL
I was born November 1985, I lost i lost my dad November 21, 2017, at the age of 69, songs like this make me think of him and what he was doing in the 80s. Love u dad
My senior prom 1982 (Allen Park, Michigan) we got a room at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit to keep the party going. The next morning Rainbow's bus was parked outside and the drummer was leaning on it and spinning his drumstick!....coolest thing ever!!!
Hmmmm.... I, remember. Now, kids, the age I was then, can't decide if they're "coming or going"... My only thoughts were what greatness was coming out next on the radio, and which Girl, I liked most... Times, have changed...
handyhippie65 however keep in mind we lost a lot of brothers and sisters in that decade of decadence. Guess im one of the survivor's. What a run!!!!!!! Wow
Vincent Dallaire many great musicians and soldiers of fortune. "relive peacefully the days of the future as they are the past." - i don't remember who said that but i like it all the same
I loved Rainbow with Dio but Joe Lynn Turner was one hell of a frontman also. I grew up on this music thanks to my dad who grew up in the 60s and 70s. Everything Richie Blackmore touches turns to PURE GOLD. Deep Purple's Knocking At Your Back Door and Perfect Strangers are 2 of my favorite Deep Purple songs.
Agree!!! “Knocking At Your Back Door has the strangest solo Ritchie played… I love it because it’s really weird and unique!!!! You can’t wrap around your fingers muscle memory on the fretboard… especially the speed he plays that one with…
Because they don't get it, never can, never will.... Which is OK, those magickal times belong to US. Forever. If you never found the Key, you can never open the Door.
Here is yet another incredible Album Rock Song from 1982 that FM Classic Rock Stations never play! I remember a time when there was something called “Rock Radio” which no longer exists!
Great track, has a real Foreigner vibe about it. JLT was a perfect vocalist for Rainbow at this stage and the songs from that era still stand up today.
22 and still listening to this, I honestly hate the 2010s music all this modern shit sounds the same . Not like the 1900s every song has its own taste. My generation is brainwashed into the new Music I call Junk. 20s, 30s, 40s years old like that new music
I was 17 in 80. 60 now and focus alot on the 60s through 80s. Simplier times , best music with ensembles, vocals and of course videos. Clicking my heels to go back to the beginning, the 60s >
~Time Was Going By Faster Than We Realized... Life Is Too Quick, And We Can Never Stay In A Moment, But Strangely, When We're There, It Feels Like It's Everlasting...
Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes, so many lies Try to run, try to hide >From everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes... Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell Another dark and empty night If I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant, so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground Breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well... Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell... You leave me Stone Cold
Absolutely brilliant Blackmore solo, one of his best......it had all his trademarks: a dramatic intro/actually went somewhere/melodic/some technique thrown in, but musical/a bit of flash/ a bit of shred/ a dramatic descending lick to end it..... pure Blackmore gold
@Joseph Cocchiola 2 different styles. Blackmores solos were immediately recognizable. Nobody and Ii mean nobody had such a one of a kind sound and technique.
Is anyone else still listening to this great song in 2024??? ❤

Yes me , I've been listening for years
Yes, for 40 years. Goes along with my cold Wisconsin night. Peace to the whole World.

I just turned 58, and this was my era, 1975-95. It's all been downhill ever since, but it was a great time to be alive!
Couldn't agree more, but I am only good up to about 1987/88. Can't do the "grunge" thing, just can't!
Agree 100%
there's been great stuff since 95, but not as much. Maybe not your thing, but the Venom reunion album was cool.

Timeless. Rainbow and Triumph are two of the most underrated bands in that late 70s-early 80s period.
1000%
They weren’t underrated. They were successful in their time. They just never stayed mainstream. You can’t win because people hate on the bands like ac/dc or motley Crüe or guns n roses because they are still played so much.

AGREE
Underrated as a guitar pioneer with DP. He and Page and Gilmour picked up what Hendrix started. Blackmore is a force
No doubt if you know rock and roll guitar Players
Blackmore so underrated, lets keep it a secret
Phisically: here. Mentally: living in the 80s and going to Rainbow concerts

Why was that era so potent in music? Easy, no computers or video games (or very primitive ones), a hot postwar economy and the Cold War to drive the people's hedonism.
very agree and Aldo Nova ....he good play a hole rate of instuments ...from flute to drums !
So well said. I so wish this type of music would make a comeback. There is some talent and taste out there.....we can always hope!

Me 👋
Me. And I thank my parents who were both children of the late 50’s for choosing life.
I saw them in Dallas Texas back in 1985.... Bad ass times, crusing with my best girl in my 1979 trans am blasting Rainbow on my Kenwood tape deck.... Good times, good times.
Did you? They broke up in 1984!
My Kenwood tape deck got ripped out in Detroit. Probably pawned for $40 bucks lol.
Wow yes it does like it! I remember quite well :) Sadly NOTHING has come close to those times in the 80's
I can see you memory. awesome...
Do you still have the Trans Am? That would be awesome!
Who’s lucky to be alive today to see this video? 🤙🏽
HELL YEAH DUDE!
And SO LUCKY to have grown up in & thru this era!! Music with meaning Denise in PA
👍👍👍
Hareish Sawng me too ! I was 17 in 1982 when this song came out and a DJ at my college I during the summer ! Actually for 2 years ! Great music and the best of times ! Loved the 70 ‘s as well ! 🌈😊👍love Rainbow
Edward Kaneshiro love rainbow
I'm 62, on Social Security and still rocking.
Me too! Was born in 1957!
God bless MTV!
I only make love to the 80s rock😝...being 56 brings back those 'memories' of me and him...aka my husband. ♾️❤
All praise to the true and living God, I'm 66 years old and a Vietnam Veteran, grew up in a little town of Rockport Texas and man remember all the bands in the late sixties and to mid seventies, that was music growing up rodeoing and even surfing 🏄♂️ and getting stoned. Man what a Time to be alive.
I would recognize Blackmore's style with my eyes closed.
Yes, very easily...
Lazy....... A masterpiece.
Estilo inconfundible
He calls it plectrum style
Auto-tune? What the hell is that? Real musicians. Real music. Real talent. Something no record made in thirty years has
one of Rainbow's finest songs!
I Love Joe Lynn Turner's voice. One of the all-time top rock vocalists!
Yep, Joe Lynn sang many of their best songs. Dio was great, too, when he came along, but I still liked Joe Lynn better.
Yep this guy had an awesome rock voice! Great tune!
ANOTHER SONG THAT PROVES THE 80'S HAD THE BEST TUNES.
NOT really, here... The BEST 80's songs were from the New Wave bands starting 1979
The 70's was the best, but this is cool.
@@guitarttimman ~ I fully agree, and I'll add the 60s to that sentiment as well. There was still a lot of good songs in the 80s, but as the decade pressed on, the quality gradually dispersed and dissipated, took a downward turn... and then you know what happened... the horrid 90s arrived, rock went belly up, and died a sad and pitiful death at the hands of complete, and final corporate control.
Well, being fair, I do like the Seattle Sound. I think the bad thing is that people started believing music had to be overly technical before it's good. I love Alice "n Chains, STP, and bands like that. I liked the grunge sound a lot because it brought back the hippie flavor. Yes, it's true that the 70's produced the best musicians, but some of that 90's stuff really kicked ass. I even like Nirvana because I realize what they were doing. They kept it simple but ingeniously hippie and grungy. I like that. What I didn't like about the 80's is that every rock band thought they had to be overly technical to be good, but that ruined a lot of their music. Sure, I love Dio, Ozzy, and all that too, but none of the 80's music can even compare to what was done in the late 60's and all through the 70's. That was some amazing composing, and there has never been anything as great to this day. I remember how some people used to look at me funny when I told them I liked Ozzy a lot better in Black Sabbath than I did in his solo career (albeit I liked that too). It is because Black Sabbath's composing was so masterful and cool. Yes, in one way Randy Rhoads was better than Tony Iommi, but in another way Tony blew him out of the water. Tony, by far, was a way better composer, and he had a sound that is unmatched to this day. I like 'em both, but I favor Tony's style more!
slimshine918 Didn’t corporations always control the music industry? What changed in the 90’s? I agree music started dying in the 90’s and by the 2000’s you’d be lucky to name a handful of good bands, but I’d still like to know how corporate control did music in
This song is the epitome of the 80's... Take me back there please! 🖤
Me to
PLEASE!!!!!!
True. And blackmore wasn't even trying to capture the feel of the 80s era. It speaks of his genius.
More like the 70s
80s would be Paradise City
hair nation !!
@@lockandloadlikehell
Paradise City would be very late 80's. This is 82.
I bought this vinyl when i was 12, at my local hastings store. Purchased it based ONLY on the sleeve art, which was a guitar headstock bustin out of a dudes face w radical green eyes. Stone cold remains one of the coolest songs ever.!
Will never get old! 51 and proud of the music of my childhood
I'm 57 and still love this music from that era! Timeless masterpieces Rainbow made!
64 n love this!
Im 56 and miss my younger days that were easier and no care in the World ,,, Driving my 77 Trans am and feeling the power of the engine while cranking this Song on the pioneer radio .... Life is passing too quickly we have to enjoy every moment while we can !!! God Bless
We get old, but the music never does
Me too love this
Joe Lynn Turner “What a voice” Blackmore loved him too!
2020 still listening 🎸🎧
Also Joe Lynn Turner: "HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!"
2021 still listening
Así es, son canciones inolvidables!
Unfortunately it’s not true. JLT wasn’t Richies taste. He didn’t like the direction Rainbow was going in at this time. I grew up across the street from Bobby (drums) and we all heard about it later on.
Still rocking this song. It never gets old 2023
They don't make music like this these days. Let's gooo bakkkk!!😊
If you ever hear this song at a bar(you're probably at a pretty good bar) ;)
Love Joe Lynn Turner's voice and Blackmore guitar riff that goes "searching in the darkness" Brilliant!
I thought the collaboration between the two, fits really so well….
I still listen to them. I love Joe Lynn Turner. I met him in Springfield VA Jazz. He spoke to him @ Jazz. I introduced him to my friends. I really loved there music. Great music!!
Had this album back in highschool. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
I totally agree. Now future generations will believe that the definition of music is nothing more than "white noise".
Right😀 Still Remember my older brother's Marantz amplifier and tape deck!
I'm still rockin' the old analog receivers and big speakers.
Yes, the old stuff is so much better than crap today. I am 61 years old and grew up on Pink Floyd, the Beatles, etc.
In my opinion rock music today doesn't compare to songs like this one; if there is any substantial rock music.
Amen to that.
Life is good... with Rainbow... good memories all around 😎
You are 💯 correct 👍✌️
You're so right about that... I can't think of a single band, in the last decade that even comes CLOSE to the superior Rock of the late 70's, and all of the 80's... its so disappointing. So glad to have my albums, and of course, UA-cam!! LOL
@@WestCoastDozier For todays groups I would vote for Shindown. But it's hard to put someone up against Rainbow.
I was born November 1985, I lost i lost my dad November 21, 2017, at the age of 69, songs like this make me think of him and what he was doing in the 80s. Love u dad
He was having one hell of a good time.i promise. I was there!!
Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my dad on November 29, 2017. I miss him everyday.
Was his first name "Tim" by any chance? If so please email me privately Mvracing@att.net thanks
God Bless
We got you,son.In Yeshua.
My senior prom 1982 (Allen Park, Michigan) we got a room at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit to keep the party going. The next morning Rainbow's bus was parked outside and the drummer was leaning on it and spinning his drumstick!....coolest thing ever!!!
One of the most underated bands and songs ever I am 63 just love this song and Richie Blackmore
Man!!! This was the time to be alive and kicking these songs out loud, and proud just chilling and hanging with friends and enjoying life.
😀😀😀🤟🤟🤟64
Amen to that. I'm 62 and I live the rock music of the 60s, 70s, and the 80s, truly the best of the best. Takes me back to simpler times.
Hmmmm.... I, remember.
Now, kids, the age I was then, can't decide if they're "coming or going"...
My only thoughts were what greatness was coming out next on the radio, and which Girl, I liked most...
Times, have changed...
Yes cranked up headphones
this brings back so many memories of high school. the 80's were the best, hands down.
handyhippie65 however keep in mind we lost a lot of brothers and sisters in that decade of decadence. Guess im one of the survivor's. What a run!!!!!!! Wow
Vincent Dallaire many great musicians and soldiers of fortune. "relive peacefully the days of the future as they are the past." - i don't remember who said that but i like it all the same
agree! What a head of hair he had, wow.
agreed
handyhippie65 I think seventies were no far from the 80's
What happened, I'm 54 and there's no music out there that can touch this musically! Turner and Blackmore were an awesome duo!
Nothing beats a Ritchie Blackmore solo to end a day
Listening to this is like turning back the clock..... those were the days.
Its just life my friend. I remember this song warm summer night small town cold beer and herb. Those are memories
As Natalie Merchant says. These are are still the days we are just more refined (and smarter in our choices) I do miss the early 80s
Joe Lynn Turner, one of the best singers ever in hard rock!! Great tone, no straining, stayed within his range. Just a great voice!!
The best songs are always still with us!!❤❤❤❤
I am 60 years old. I grew up with all the greats. I shook hands with Jimmy Page and Evel Knievel to major icons of the 70's.
I loved Rainbow with Dio but Joe Lynn Turner was one hell of a frontman also. I grew up on this music thanks to my dad who grew up in the 60s and 70s. Everything Richie Blackmore touches turns to PURE GOLD. Deep Purple's Knocking At Your Back Door and Perfect Strangers are 2 of my favorite Deep Purple songs.
Agree!!! “Knocking At Your Back Door has the strangest solo Ritchie played… I love it because it’s really weird and unique!!!! You can’t wrap around your fingers muscle memory on the fretboard… especially the speed he plays that one with…
Dont forget Graham Bonnett.
He sang on one of those 80s hits.
I forget which song tho, lol
Turner for me. My husband, Dio. Oh well, lol
The 'Since You've Been Gone' guy was ok, too. But liked Turner way-better. Funny, one band THREE lead singers.
👍😎🥃 🎵🎸HUSH‼️🎵🎼🎤🥁
One of the most underrated singers in history
Amen!!!!!!!!!
Amen.
No doubt! He really has talent with Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen..he should have been bigger
No question
68 years old and still dancing to the best rock they'll ever be
Turning 62 in December, still haven't heard any music come close to the 70s and 80s eras. Best ever.
Even today this song kicks so much ass it's incredible.
razzledingle is that the hedgehog
This is back when people actually sang and had talent. Now any Bozo can dance around and talk to music like this is a skill.
Ron is correct😂
razzledingle you are so right. This sound still kicks ass.
I'm 67 and still love it!
I'm 65, still listening to this music
Joe Lynn Turner..
Awesome vocals..
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👑💖🔥💣❤️👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
🌈 line up: Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Lynn Tyner, Roger Glover, David Rosenthal And Bobby Rondineli👏👏👏
Joey Lynn Turner is a great Singer.He was so underrated in this band and with Malmsteen
I'd forgotten he was with Yngwie!!!
I saw the Odyssey tour in Dallas. Lita Ford opened. Yngwie was utterly amazing. The whole band.
The world has still much to learn from Ritchie about guitar solo and composition 🎸🎼🤘
Joe Lynn Turner is grossly underrated. Truly one of the most phenomenal rock singers in music history. Man, always loved his voice.
How can anyone dislike this beautiful music?
Only the stupid people
meh
Only the ones who don't know what good music is!
Because they don't get it, never can, never will....
Which is OK, those magickal times belong to US.
Forever.
If you never found the Key, you can never open the Door.
Some people have no taste. That's how Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber got to become millionaires many times over.
Joe Lynn Turner was a fantastic vocalist. 🤟
Here is yet another incredible Album Rock Song from 1982 that FM Classic Rock Stations never play! I remember a time when there was something called “Rock Radio” which no longer exists!
the best music of the world !
listening in 2020 !!!!
Same. Saw them in 82 with UFO. My first concert. Unforgetable
There's no doubt about it.
Robert Krueger ....ya in 1982 I was having a baby girl! Now I have two grandsons too. ... Lol 😆 time flies🕒🎸🎸🎸🎷🎹
@@bettyschneider5268 i was born in 1987 ! 🤭😍🤣
@@bettyschneider5268 same, 2 grand daughters
Great track, has a real Foreigner vibe about it. JLT was a perfect vocalist for Rainbow at this stage and the songs from that era still stand up today.
22 and still listening to this, I honestly hate the 2010s music all this modern shit sounds the same . Not like the 1900s every song has its own taste. My generation is brainwashed into the new Music I call Junk. 20s, 30s, 40s years old like that new music
That's Richties Guitar. That's definitely Rainbow
I have always loved this. Really. I'm 65. Not so old for some folks
I was 17 in 80. 60 now and focus alot on the 60s through 80s. Simplier times , best music with ensembles, vocals and of course videos. Clicking my heels to go back to the beginning, the 60s >
Joe Lynn Turner has such wonderful breath control when he sings.
Joe is totally underrrated in my opinion.
Great and underappreciated singer....
@@lucalone Using the word underrated IS far to overrated ....j.m.o.
Shang Hunter that’s cause you like bubble gum music! This shit is killer!
He's just like Gillian with DP Blackmore time
2019 and I am still listening to this song.
Me too!!!
Same here
Yeah, it still it hasn't improved.
Me aswell
me too
I'm 64 and I love this song
I was that lucky and still am because I'm lucky enough to still have an 8track player that works and a big box of them. I listen to them everyday
This song takes me back to the early 80s
What a great time to be alive. Carefree, fun times !
80s was awesome!! Today's music sucks balls!!
So true !! and so funny!!!
~Time Was Going By Faster Than We Realized...
Life Is Too Quick, And We Can Never Stay In A
Moment, But Strangely, When We're There, It Feels
Like It's Everlasting...
I was born in 1971 traversing the video in 1982 when I was 11 M48 and it still rocks God I missed a good days of MTV keep rocking
I concur
This song never gets old!!!! Freaking amazing!!!!! I can't break away from your spell....
I agree so much!
Loved it ever since then, come back to it regularly!
It is amazing and awesome, I totally like Joe Lynn Turner's voice!
Tina ,youre Gorgeous....Come with me....
Great old song!
My very first concert was Deep Purple and Rainbow at COBO arena in Detroit--The Home of Rock-n-Roll! Baby!!!
I love all phases of Rainbow. This lineup is my favorite!
Not only a great song - but the vocal sound on the recording - insanely good.
Listened to the whole album again recently. Still sounds fantastic.
Kudos to whoever produced it.
Yeah, sounds clean for the time it was produced in and I've been listening on repeat, that's how good it is
Every night I have the same old dream
'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes, so many lies
Try to run, try to hide
>From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes...
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
and I thought I knew you so well
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night
If I was wrong I wanna make it right
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
Breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
and I thought I knew you so well...
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell...
You leave me Stone Cold

Death Alley Driver is another good Rainbow tune.🎸🎶🎵
Thank you!
Rainbow 🌈! I was 14 when I first heard this brilliant song 🎶! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🇺🇸
I miss the 70's and 80's rock music!!!
I am 68 and love it still!!!!
Richies solo is absolute flawless perfection
Then he High sticks it as if to say
YUP !!!
Absolutely brilliant Blackmore solo, one of his best......it had all his trademarks: a dramatic intro/actually went somewhere/melodic/some technique thrown in, but musical/a bit of flash/ a bit of shred/ a dramatic descending lick to end it..... pure Blackmore gold
this solo is mindblowing
Rithie the best whitch is why I've been listening to him since 1974
@Joseph Cocchiola 2 different styles. Blackmores solos were immediately recognizable. Nobody and Ii mean nobody had such a one of a kind sound and technique.
