Why do I still get goosebumps I’ve heard it a million times

One of the best songs ever created. Beyond words, honestly.

86 years old and I still listen to HM, RIP Ronnie James.

Bought this in 76 when it was released, because the cover looked cool. Took it home... it was love right away., 40+ years later still give me goosebumps.

This is why the 70's was the greatest decade for Rock n Roll.

Possibly the greatest song ever written. "My eyes are bleeding And my heart is leaving here..." I love that you guys just listen to the whole songs, and comment afterwards.

i'm 53 and i listen t this song every day at work...guy's a legend.

I love the way these folks, unlike so many others on YT, just let the music speak for itself, then comment at the end. As it should be

Dio had such a good voice he could make me cry or smile. I can't say that about every singer.

This song is a masterpiece. I have to argue, one of the best rock/metal songs of all time. A pure performance that showcases how amazing this band was. The peerless vocals, the awe-inspiring guitar solo, the incredible drums...the entirety of the band as a whole as they craft something pure and flawless all wrapped in a moral story.

Saw this live in Sydney 1976 with the line up on the album ..absolutely stunning ...met Ronnie James Dio in the city before the gig (had a coffee) what an absolute gentleman , I was just 17 year old and gave me access to take shots from the rainbow console at front of stage . They were amazing , thanks for reminding me .

yeah the vocals are EPIC, but that Ritchie Blackmore solo is damn epic also

Dio can you hear me? I am lost and so alone. I'm askin' for your guidance. Won't you come down from your throne?

COZY POWELL (R.I.P.) ON DRUMS ... SO POWERFUL !!! FEW DRUMMERS (VERY FEW) GET THAT SOUND FROM A DRUM SET ... WE MISS YOU COZY !!!

This title was the Masterpiece of Rainbow. RIP Ronnie 🤘

I’m 67 now and still love Rainbow and Deep Purple, the louder, the better. Saw Rainbow in concert at the Adelaide Festival Centre in 1976, still the best concert I ever attended. The light show and visuals were mind blowing for that time

Rainbow is a great band. I wouldn’t be without all of their albums. So much great 70s music.

Gates of Babylon would be a great follow-up to this.

Ritchie's solo still gives me chills to this day.

Rainbow - Gates of Babylon....you won't be disappointed!

After Deep Purple's Child In Time; this is my (second) all-time favourite song. Blackmore (Deep Purple guitarist) met Ronnie Dio when the latter opened for a Deep Purple US Tour in 1972 (with Dio's band "Elf") and when Ritchie Blackmore wanted out of Deep Purple he contacted Dio to do some recording sessions. Dio agreed but wrinkles in the Deep Purple camp were ironed out and the couple of songs that were recorded stayed in a drawer until things finally came to a halt and Blackmore left Deep Purple in 1974 (of note is the fact that Roger Glover; Deep Purple bass player, used Ronnie Dio for vocals on several of the songs of his 1973 animation movie called "The Butterfly Ball". The latter had a worldwide hit with "Love Is All" that was sung by Dio). Ritchie recruited Elf again and the 1975 album "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" was the result. For the follow-up "Rainbow Rising", Blackmore fired everybody except Ronnie Dio; the late and great Cozy Powell was recruited on drums, Jimmy Bain on bass and an unknown by the name of Tony Carey on keyboards. The "Rising" result was a bit of a shocker at the time, with two memorable songs in the guise of "Stargazer" and its continuation "A Light In The Black"; both clocking-in at over eight minutes. Best album of 1976 for me. Thanks for another wonderful reaction. EDIT Wrote the above before actually watching the vid, so I missed the fact your calendar turned a full cycle. I knew you looked a bit different. Happy birthday Rich ;)

the entire 'rainbow rising' album is fantastic, every track perfect

Other *Rainbow* songs to react: Gates Of Babylon A Light In The Black Temple Of The King Man On The Silver Mountain Street Of Dreams Stone Cold

Gotta love the three "R"s.... Rush, Rainbow, and R.E.O Speedwagon!

Stargazer = Masterpiece!!! \m/

Among all of the great vocalists in rock Ronnie James Dio stands virtually alone. Great band, great singer, great song.

Light in the Black, the sequel!

So glad you had the opportunity to listen to this epic song and that you enjoyed the experience. Ronnie James Dio, the vocalist, is considered one of the godfathers of metal and, by many, as the voice of metal. He is also credited with introducing the metal horns \m/ to the genre. It was one of his signature performance staples. His solo band 'Dio' with the song 'The Last In Line' was my intro to Metal, and I fully credit that song, in particular, for my conversion from pop music to metalhead. Anything Dio-related is golden, in my eyes. Peace

This is one of those songs that you never want to end! So good.

A great reaction! And so good to see you enjoy the opening thunder. That, as you probably know by know, is a much lamented guy called Cozy Powell. Now Cozy, apart from playing in same of the biggest bands on the planet, made a solo single. Yes, a solo single by a drummer. Its called 'Dance with the Devil" and you want to hear this. Trust me guys!

I was born in 1972 and I still ROCK YEAH

The guitar player Ritchie Blackmore described it as a sort of “Turkish” feel, particularly on the solo. What an epic jam. Dio’s vocals are insane as well

Rest in metal Ronnie, Dear Prince

Rainbow’s master piece: “Rising” (1976). One of the best albums ever.

One of my first bought records still awesome

You have to play Child in Time by Deep Purple. Will give you chills!

Seeing Kels eye close and her face melt into whatever that was....made me enjoy the song even more seeing her just get lost in it ✌🏻💚☮️

If Ritchie watches this he'll make it the official vid. Now THAT'S a reaction! Outstanding!

I love you guys. You make me so happy watching you react to some of my all-time favorite songs.

Absolute Masterpiece!

I love how Kel turned into jello at the sound of RJD's voice 💯🤘 Dio sings from his soul and not from a script. His story telling through his vocals is second to none. 💯🗣🎙🎶

Richie Blackmore Left Deep Purple in 1974 And formed Rainbow in 1975. This Song is from Rainbow's second album called "Rising". Stargazer is One of the greatest Songs ever made

cozy powel rıp 1998 ronni james dio rıp 2010

Stargazer is the one song people react to but from the same album there's Tarot Woman. Boom!

Rainbow is an incredible band. Absolutely love them. Favorite song is LA Connection

Congrats, the best Reaction you've done thus far. You gave the music the respect it serves while it's playing. You're gonna love Operation Mindcrime.

Gates of Babylon. Light in the black. Lady of the lake. The shed. Rainbow fkn Rocks. 🤘🤘

oh cozy, i tear up when ever someone plays this

We both love this song. Happy Birthday Rich from Georgette and Judy xx Other Rainbow classics are Kill the King and Long Live Rock n Roll

I love how this track is building up. When the strings comes in it's pure magic.

What a song👍

LONG LIVE ROCK'N'ROLL!!!

Her reaction is just precious! Awesome!

One of best reactions from you guys!

Many happy returns, Rich! As she's a classically trained musician, I'd LOVE to see her react to Manowar - Sting of the Bumblebee.

love your channel! I've seen Rainbow 5 times!!! my favorite group

Just love watching you guys getting off on this masterpiece that's been a part of my life ever since I first heard it in 1976. Blackmore is an unheralded genius!

Oh Good! You've already done this one. Masterpiece. One of the best songs of all time.

Its from 1976 rainbow rising album. Masterpiece of a song

Happy birthday, Rich. Hope you have a great day, my friend.

Had this on 8-track. I'd call it the best song performances in the entire canons of Richie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell and Jimmy Bain. Perfectly-produced. It helped that the cover was pure artwork, and looked like THE coolest denim vest when one of the high school kids debuted the version of it he hand-painted.

Dio - heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath 😍😍😍😍😍

*BEST SONG EVER!!!*

Happy belated Rich!! Great song to celebrate - an epic piece, for an epic person! Don't worry about the hows & whys you missed it, you've found it now, and with a lovely lady to enjoy it with! That is all that you need! I keep discovering new things - old and new - and that, dear friends, is the beauty of music!!

Happy Birthday dude, have a good one 🤘

My high school years were filled with this kind of music. So fortunate!

Cozy Powell was relentless 🤘

When it comes to reaction videos I have a few favorite channels but your channel is the best. Many channels spend to much time talking about shit that don't matter or has bad quality to the music. This is the best channel. You two are great :) For a really cool and darker song with some Sabbath influences and Dio singing, you should check out "Strange Highways". One of my favorite tunes from Dio's solo stuff.

Lol Rich was having trouble facing forward. Can't blame him; Kelly has impeccable style.

Wow. Hearing your experiences of having parents who would only allow you to hear classical music just brought it home to me how infinitely fortunate I was to be raised by a very open-minded father who introduced me to all kinds of great music; from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow through Tchaikivsky, Beethoven, Liszt, Vivaldi via John Lee Hooker and Alexis Korner, while also encouraging me to find my own tastes, and embracing all of that too. So, I've listened to a hell of a lot of music in my time, attended a lot of concerts with my Dad and appreciated all of it. I hope these suggestions and first listens bring you as much joy as I've experienced in my life with these tunes.

I didn’t know you guys did this one! I just clicked this so fast!!!!

kel-rich you are such a wonderful couple and really appreciate your comments on such great music which i love ,nothing comes close to metal with it,s such diversity and such depth of feeling and emotion. may god bless you both.

You folks just opened yourselves to a ton of music that will blow you away. It's a fun spider web of music you will expose yourself to. Have fun, and Rock On!

We are all blessed to be able to experience such talent and artistry. It doesn't matter these songs fall into such and such a genre or style of music. Life is short. We are all just lucky to be able to experience it. And make no mistake - rock music is as legitmate a form of music as any classical or jazz form. in this case, with just 5 musicians, the song is as evocatiove and emotionally challening as any clasical piece. And the musical talents of the performers are the equal of any. The band is tight and focussed, every perfomer contribting to the overall sound. Ronnie James's talents are the equal of any singer while Ritchie's prowess on the guitar is now the stuff of legend. Like I said - we are all just so lucky to be able to live and experience such wonderous musical talent and expression. Long live rock and roll.

Please also react to the live version of Rock Bottom by UFO. It's a classic epic rock song.

Just subscribed....Love your content guys!!....keep up the good work. Rainbow Rising one of the first albums I ever bought, after Van Halen 1...

Don’t feel bad. I first heard this song when I was 30. I had the same reaction how in the world did I miss this? The thing that’s important is that now you know it exists. And even more important, you both love it. Long live Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain, and Tony Carey. All phenomenal musicians! 🤘🏼

The best song forever !!!

I love Kel's reaction to this. True appreciation. I used to listen to this on my Walkman, whilst reading epic fantasy and drinking strong beer in pub gardens in the summer in the 80s, between jobs. And discovering new music(or anything,) is great. It's a joy to watch people's faces when they've found something cool. Once you've done with metal, try some 50s R&R and DooWop. Or some British Psychobilly, which is Rock n Roll with a punk edge. Guana Batz, King Kurt, The Meteors, to name a few. Keep Rockin. And keep Young. ✌️👍

Stargazer came out in 1976 it's from the Rising album

First song and was the first song i heard with Rainbow. I am 42 now and this song is on my top 10 songs of best songs ever produced. I often listen to this song when i want to hear some incredible music. I just love the part in the end, i can listen that unlimited times.

So awesome you discovered Rainbow, the best of Rainbow was with Ronnie James Dio on vocals, he also sang with Black Sabbath if you haven't heard it, check out Heaven and Hell or Sign of the Southern Cross from Black Sabbath with Dio on vocals. Love watching your journey especially with Iron Maiden. Have fun, enjoy and keep wearing the hats....Would also recommend Bruce Dickinson solo stuff like Tears of the Dragon.

Hi Rich, like you I like to wear hats, so don't give up!!!! Great song also, one of the best albums ever

STARGAZER's the SHIT! ROCKS!

Masterpiece

Rainbow Was one of my favs Used to smoke one at night bed time lay back headphones on and float away

Fortress by Alter Bridge. It has epic riffs and great vocals. It will definitely blow your mind.

Im 52 I was 8 when this changed everything

Happy birthday! Now it is time for "Ayreon - The day that the world breaks down". You'll love it

Grew up with this one of the greatest songs ever ❤ and still is along with Nightwish songs

Epic reaction guys!! I love it.

Dio and Cozy Powell - R.I.P. Masters of Rock and Metal.

A Light in the Black please!....awesome Dio, fantastic keyboard and guitar solos....just a great band.

Love RAINBOW !!!!

"The Last in Line" or "Don't Talk to Strangers" are a couple of good first songs to start listening the solo career of Ronnie James Dio, the singer of this band.

Why do i still get shivers

Yay for hats! And you guys.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys rock

Happy birthday Rich!

Happy Birthday Rich !
