I love Bonnet...you have too remember back in the 80's you HAD to have long hair/leather pants etc. to be taken seriously if you were in a hard rock/metal band....Graham came out in a freakin white t-shirt or suit and a 50's style haircut and didn't give a sh*t (pretty sure this pissed Blackmore off back in the Rainbow days)...dude could just belt out songs like nobody else. HAS to be on the top ten list of most underated metal/hard rock vocalists ever.
Without Graham I doubt the band would have taken off as it did. All those dudes would have been in other bands that would never have been as good. This was his band then and his show all the way his talent made the band superstars. And who doesn't love those hot pink leather pants that show his crock. That's Rock!
@JoesGaming Because this song is not an Alcatrazz song. This one was performed by Bonnet when he was in Rainbow at the end of 70´s. There was another live version at Monsters of rock (august 1980) with Rainbow, it was a spectacular gig, I recomend you to find this one too !!!
love graham,love yng.love this song.great performance BUT.from a compositional standpoint ritchies solos are so much better unless hes just onstage acting weird.RBs solos live and in studio sound like songs by themselves.yng sounds good but doesnt fit perfectly.thanx for this
@SeagoGuitarist to be fair I love how Graham goes offstage when Yngwie breaks his perfectly good guitar, which as a guitarist I love Yngwie but his Pete Townsend break a guitar routine is stupid and vomit provoking, I dont blame Graham for not being there =P
@cbat36 This is a very fair point! Ahah =P I think they both didn't have the hugest amount of feelings for each other while in the band. But it's all rock and roll. Who gives a fuck =P Hope your well! =D
Graham Bonnet doesn't seem to excited when he introduces Yngwie to the fans. I guess Yngwie was right when he said that Bonnet wasn't too happy about Yngwie stealing the show.
fuck sake man all those type of big time guitarists are good thats why they got to be where they are today THEY ARE ALL GOOD STOP BEING FUCKIN ARGUMENTATIVE BABIES
ak 47...yeah I can't stand either all the little dickless trolls that constantly have to compare one guitarist against another. it's like trying to show somebody your ass hairs...nobody cares...(except these guys). if Jimi was here I bet he'd wanna play with many of our current guitarists. I like many kinds of music and VERY different guitar styles. The little whiners and goin' nowhere critics can STFU.

its not a lie, i love yngwie and i knew yngwie way before vai, but after all this time listning to both, steve vai is a better guitar player. Steve vai is always changing, malmsteen is the same thing all over again and it gets boring sometimes
ok...first of all... yngwie hasn't changed.. ok ill accept that.. but how is that a bad thing?? I understand how Vai tries new stuff but that does not prove that Vai is better player than Yngwie is... and... I have hella albums of both of them... But i still prefer Yngwie's shredding style... It's just ur opinion that u think Vai's better.. don't make it like it's a fact...
well i should say the same thing to you, maybe u just like yngwie too much, i think vai is better for alot of reasons, but then again your righ its just my opinion, but next time dont pretend yours is better then mines

Live, this song needs his voice and Ritchie on guitar. Yngwie can spew a thousand notes a second, but cannot get the styling and nuance of Ritchie.
