Giving Rainbow a second chance is one of the best choices we’ve ever made on the channel!! Awesome song! REMINDER we have a livestream this Sunday at 1:00PM EST! We are also doing a Q&A so drop your questions in the comments! Cheers everyone! 🙌🔥😁👍

Smart kid , its a great song

The kid is feelin it !

Watch some of their live stuff from Munich 1977 like "mistreated" or "catch the rainbow" live also "stargazer" Is a great one as well

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Its said that he wasn't going to be just purple anymore, but all the colors of the rainbow. This song was the first single off the debut album. Check out the album cover, it looks like a castle but it's actually a guitar. Can't beat Blackmores legendary guitar riffs, and RJD's brilliant vocals. Quite the collaboration in songwriting as well. Nice one, guys. Next check out "Long Live Rock n' Roll, a great song off the bands 3rd album which was the last time Dio was a member. 🤘🤘A live suggestion would be "Kill The King", live in Munich.Thanks Ethan and Larry!❤🎸🔥

Dad, You are flirting w/ sacrilege. I was worried about you. Blackmore's riffs are legendary. Rainbow is a great band. They influenced all metal bands in the 80's.

This song seems like something that would have been playing in the background when I was 16 years old (1985) and trying to fix my '74 Trans Am that broke down weekly. Those are great memories. Thanks Gentlemen, good choice.

Dio felt the same way you did Larry, he felt the tempo was too slow so he sped up the song when he went solo and performed it in his shows.

I second what Lisa said ! PEACE !

Bruce Dickinson is no DIO. Apples and oranges, people.

Honesty is the best policy and because of that, you’ve given us another great reaction. Looking forward to the live stream on Sunday. Peace and love from Toronto!

Honesty is always the best policy!😁

Thank you for doing this one, you two! Stay safe & strong 💙💙

Haha, “ he’s no Bruce Dickinson” you guys haven’t heard him live yet.

Happy Easter to you Ethan, Larry & the fam. Blessings from Georgia ⛪💐✝️🥚🧺🐥🐰🐣🐇🐤🧺🥚✝️⛪💐

Stone Cold and Since You Been Gone are 2 more good Rainbow songs. Love it thanks

You’re such a head-banger Ethan 😆 can’t beat Ritchie and Ronnie.

Definetely check out the song ''Mistreated" live 1977 from them. Amazing performance

Rainbow - Kill the king (Live). You can't go wrong with it.

Long live Rainbow and Dio

Yaaay!!! More Rainbow. This album and Frampton's Comes alive lived in my desk in grade 7 and 8. Every day once a week our music teacher would allow us to bring in records to share songs with the class. Glad Pops did a 180 on the music. lol.

live.. Kill the king in Munich Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a live version of Gates of Babylon.. which is just an awesome Rainbow song.

It's funny Larry says "Dio is no Bruce Dickinson" And Bruce Dickinson always states Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) were the best hard rock vocalists of all time.

The guitar riff sounds a little like Styx's Blue Collar Man but Dio's vocals definitely carry the song. Can't wait for your next Q &A Livestream, the last one was a blast. I think I introduced you guys to Rory Gallagher on that one, lol. 👍🙌🤘✌️

The great Cozy Powell on drums.

Larry,so happy you changed your mind on this!It really is a great song live.Check out LA Connection.

"Hes no bruce dickinson"?!?!? Lol uuh ok....

U2 have to do some Golden Earring live. Start with Twilight Zone. The black and White. Or Something heavy goin Down...all the times we’re live in.

16th Century Greensleaves from the same album. As for this song: You guys did it right, studio version first., now you need to check out ANY live version of this song. This is admittedly ‘slow, clunky and chunky’ but it is the beginning, the genesis of the legendary pairing of Dio and Blackmore. Any live version will show that it was NEVER again played this slowly. The live versions show this song off as the fully realized over the top rock anthem that it is, making the studio version sound like a ‘demo’ or a practice ‘run through’, making the bare bones studio version all the more ‘charming’ in it’s heavy, plodding, chugging, bare bones simplicity. This song, by virtue of this Blackmore ‘riff’ is part of the ‘bedrock’ upon which ‘heavy metal’ or ‘hard rock’ was built. This ‘riff’ is part of the Holy Trinity of Blackmore guitar riffs. You’ve got ‘Smoke on the Water’, ‘Burn’, and “this song”. This song is so important in the Rainbow/Dio/Blackmore catalogue that it was played at every Dio era show, usually as a show closer, and “teased” or played in its entirety at most shows long after Dio had departed Rainbow. So you’re correct, slow, bare bones, clunky..., The Band realized it too. It was thoroughly “corrected” on stage as they turned it into a barn burner of an anthem. Other live suggestions...? My God man THE WHO... , PRE 9/78 (when Moon died). Each time you look at The Who live after Moon, I feel you’re doing yourselves a disservice. I know you did Pinball Wizard at Woodstock.., you picked a bad example..., I can help with your Who journey..., give me one chance;) Love the channel guys-thx and be well. From Sussex, NJ

Fantastic song , it really fits the Album well ! What your looking for Dad is Kill the King 👑 or The Gates of Babylon ! Then this great song makes more sense ! & yes it will not only grow on you , but change your perspective on life it’s self !

YT wouldn't let me post a link to the HD HQ (Lyrics on Screen) version of this video, which I think is a bit better quality sound. I suggest you give that video a go and see if that helps resolve the problem, because I know the band and the track, and was expecting a lot more from it as well. I also recommend Since You've Been Gone, All Night Long, and I Surrender, as the best belter Rainbow tracks - I'm sure some fans might point you to the best live videos, I only know them from a Greatest Hits album point of view, and on vinyl as well - all the more reason the sound I expected from memory was so much better than this video. Great to see you guys, as always, and I'm looking forward to this (Easter) weekend's 10K celebrations. I'll be there!

Please do Since you been gone by them, so catchy. Thank you again for your reactions.

Ronnie James Dio also did this song live with Bruce Dickinson.

Hey Guy's, I dig it. Rainbow 🌈 was good rock. I voted for this one. It's music from a different era, it's supposed to sound that way. Always great music, reactions and a pleasant viewing experience. Good job on running your channel. Frosty morning's and Sunny days, very nice. Be good, all the best, C.

Rainbow are great! Ritchie Blackmore is such a great guitarist and Dio on vocals - what more could you wish for? Gates Of Babylon is another great epic song and Temple Of The King is totally different in style but is a great song in it's own right and both are with Dio. If you want more mainstream rock songs - Blackmore changed style a bit as he wanted to be more commercially successful at the time - you can't go far wrong with I Surrender and Since You've Been gone. The vocalist is Graham Bonnet and he is a good solid rock singer in his own way.🤘 😀

Love Rainbow and this song! Can't believe your dad doesn't like the music! One of the best riffs. EVER!!! Try ALL NIGHT LONG BY RAINBOW! Come on dad. Trust me when I say ALL THE COOL KIDS LOVED THIS WHEN IT CAME OUT! WE ROCKED OUT TO THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 70'S! WE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOUR DAD WAS NERDY FOR NOT LIKING IT! ( SINCE WE ARE BEING HONEST )

Who doesn't know this song? Rip ron

Father probably forgot Gong in his top 10.

Always liked that song. Didnt come through loud enough (not your fault) some of the older songs must not be recorded at a high volume. Love the beat of that song.

You have to respect Father's opinion on Rainbow. He likes Van Halen, so he is definitely an expert on average music.

Question for F/S for Q and A: Why do you suppose so many music reaction channels, including yours, are so enamored with the PROGRESSIVE ROCK genre over others? Specifically RUSH and STEELY DAN? I grew up in the Seventies and there were definitely more "genres" than PROG being played at the time. I'm just curious, given that the stated goals of a lot of these channels is to expose themselves to music they have not heard before. Yet they will continually bypass bands that were prominent in order to react to repeated songs by such bands as YES, PINK FLOYD, SUPERTRAMP, etc. Also, I have heard that some of these channels (not yours, as far as I can tell), will select songs from a streaming service, such as SPOTIFY. That is a big mistake if you are trying to get exposure to previous decades offerings.

The older guy doesn't like the music????!!!......the music is fantasticly powerful,it gives me goosebumps ...,.they need to check the old guys pulse.

Muito bom Dio 🤘🏾

Question for F&S: If you could listen to only 1 album for the rest of your life, over and over again, what would it be?

Checkout the songs Life In Dark Water, Roads To Moscow and Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart. You can get lost in the songs. Year Of The Cat makes of think of the movie Casablanca.

They went up tempo and faster when played live

MUST Do "Caught In The Middle" by DIO. Song Both must Hear.. Great Youth Song.. TRUELY

I've always felt the same way; the song isn't fast enough, at least this original version. Gates of Babylon may just be my overall favorite from Rainbow. Awesome vocal performance from RJD on that one.

The problem is that Ritchie Blackmore, Rainbow, Dio, Whitesnake and all the other iterations of Deep Purple that followed the exceptional MADE IN JAPAN double album, could not live up to or even match the phenomenal work that was MADE IN JAPAN. All of the artists' solo work and associates' bands will always be compared with the MADE IN JAPAN era. There is no comparison really.

First rule of listening to whatever related with Rainbow/Deep Purple/Whitesnake - listen to Live videos!

If you like this song, even just a little bit, you'll like a remake of it called" man born to scale the mountain" by apologetix. Check it you will be entertained by the lyrics. They are different.

Well the song didn't do much for me but I'll tell you what I really like. It's that amazing organ and guitar sound combination. It was there in Deep purple too. It creates a powerful and beautiful rock sound. Oh wait, whilst writing this I replayed the song, and now I do like it. There's great singing there. See you next time. Best wishes. james:)

Btw if yall notice the record art its a guitar hidden as a mountain castle lol These are great songs but will admit the production was very low the mix. First 2 albums were on indi labels on low budget so they do sound low in vol. If dad wants a kick in the face u shouldve listen to Rainviw Kill The King.

Hi guys!

That rhythm was very upbeat and bouncy...like Ethan said, a fun vibe. I always liked this song...it was my first introduction to Ronnie James Dio! I didn't hear his work with Sabbath until after I heard this one. Anyways, Dio and Blackmore are both legends and I'm glad you guys liked this song. That means more Rainbow in the future...Yay! Been so busy with work that I haven't put any thought into what song to suggest. Gonna pick something random off the top of my head and hope I haven't already suggested it before. This is Blue Öyster Cult with Monsters (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/namWqK6X276anoE.html). Cheers!

Beautifully done! Dad, your honesty shone brightly! ⚡D O K K E N⚡...please? Into the Fire, Mr Scary, Heaven Sent, Tooth and Nail, Aline Again. THANKS

Oh please!!!!!!!!!!! Educate yourselves! Ronnie is the best singer hard rock/heavy metal has ever had! Bruce Dickinson is not even close.

Also this is from the 70s. Things were just simpler...

Live they do it faster, I like it better. But it's a classic. Kill the King live is amazing too, check it out.

When are we doing 2112 ????

Uh. YEA... WHOLE CONCERT.. MUNCHIN LIVE 1977..

Ethan, when you reacted to Rainbow (Stargazer) for the first time you said it was a 10 out of 10 for you. Don't know why your saying you didn't like the 1st Rainbow song when you did. Pop's didn't care for it much though. Just gotta keep you straight in here. Ha. Peace!

Angelina Jordan has a new cover out yesterday!! All I Ask (Adele) Please react to more Angelina!!

Try the live version ....

There’s a lot more great stuff by Rainbow, especially with Dio. Gates of Babylon

Im with Larry on this one. Its good but not great. I think it would sound better in the car. So much music dies. Dio and Blackmore, though.... amazing

Ronnie James Dio is an amazing singer. You need to react to some live stuff with Ronnie James Dio and Rainbow. Rainbow - Kill The King (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKuRq9KomLbTf2Q.html) or Rainbow - Long Live Rock 'n' Roll (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqqEktiispfNoX0.html) or Rainbow - Gates Of Babylon (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9toe8yLyta2h6M.html). These are all great ones, hard to choose, just roll the dice.

I'm all for The Underdogs but believe it or not other music reaction people have less than you do where their subscribers is not even listed yet so I don't think it even starts showing until you hit 1000. Like I said before I go for the underdog because once people start getting close to a million I tend to not watch them and start watching newer reactors. Please give some love and subscribe to Hazebruv's channel. Support those who have less subscribers than yourself! Share the love!

What happened to 2112 did it lose in the pole?

Larry , it's alright that you are indifferent..It's not as good as Rainbow in the Dark , for sure...It is kind of a by the numbers tune , with dynamite vocals..

1st!

Audio quality not the best on this 1. But I know the song in and out..I enjoy the reactions

You gotta understand this song came out in the 70s that's how it was back then 1970s remember that then listen to it acid and all that s*** was coming out big big time and f****** people that's what they listen to try the other Iron Butterfly not by a Black Sabbath or rainbow but that's by another band you have to check it out I forget who does it at the moment cuz I've been up all night working but check it out 1970s remember

Larry, I think what you are lacking in this album is some decent production. But back then not everyone had that such pristine studio productions. Not like the way they mix now a days. Maybe there is a newer digital remix you didn’t upload here

Wow, haven't heard this in years - great progressive tune. YES were way ahead of their time ! Thanks fire the rxn.

I think it's a good song. The vocals and the guitar are excellent. Unfortunately I think that the rest of the instruments are a bit sub par and hold the song back. IF those had been a bit more in your face this could've been a great song in my opinion. RJD and Ritchie Blackmore kept it from being average

Dio himself said that this was his favorite Rainbow album because it was more based on songwriting, whereas the "Rising" album that Stargazer was on he wasn't a fan of the second half as he thought it was just Ritchie Blackmore showboating

So you hear this isn't top Rainbow band give you that

Because of this type of music we got better music like heavy metal thrash metal Etc you want to check something bad ass out check out Suicidal Tendencies can't bring me down and others that are on their outcomes they are a badass f****** band

“This guy is no Bruce Dickinson”??? Ronnie Dio is so far ahead of anyone else in Rock it’s not even funny. When I hear something like this I wonder where were you when God was passing out ears?!? In your case it’s quite ease... you obviously got back in the line for seconds in the nose line!!!

Dio is a way better singer than Bruce Dickinson .
