Product Description

The ultimate axe-man companion! This is the best moments of Ritchie Blackmore partnered by the Rainbow Audiobiography. Showcasing Blackmore s axe-work with highlights from over 40 years at the top, this film studies Ritchie s technique and also presents the sometimes brutally candid words of a host of ex-band mates. Amongst others, Nicky Simper and Glenn Hughes give their honest appraisal of an ego as undeniable as the talent. The 72 page book features interviews with Ian Gillan, Bob Daisley and Blackmore. This is the true story of hard rock legends Rainbow, as told by those who toured and recorded with the band. The CD draws on material of Rainbow in concert from film, TV and radio archives, along with in-depth interviews with former band members from almost the entire 30 years of Rainbow. Lead vocalists Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner and Dougie White, plus bass player Bob Daisley and drummer Bobby Rondinelli all offer intimate insights into the music of one of the most worshipped and maligned front-men in rock history, Ritchie Blackmore!

Customer Reviews

Interesting & informative
A very interesting & informative documentary-style set with many interviews/comments from various vocalists & musicians who have played with Deep Purple & Rainbow over the years. Ritchie Blackmore himself appears in quite a lot of interviews as well.There's no doubt he is a great guitarist,but I personally wouldn't say he's the best.He's certainly a little strange & moody but definitely up there with the best.
